Prompt 221- Margaret Atwood quote
[locked to all those that know about the Identity Crisis flashback events]
I was never more certain that a man deserved to pay for what he’d done than I was as we stood gathered around Dr. Light and urged Zatanna to make certain he’d never do it to another human being ever again. That’s why we all did it. We weren’t doing it to be cruel or purposefully misusing our power. We were doing it because the bastard promised he’d do it again. Cruelty and revenge were beyond Barry Allen, after all. We had to have some higher motivation for him to agree.
I might not have initially agreed with the idea, and may have argued against it, but in that instant that the procedure was done, I knew it was the right thing to do. Years later, while hunting scum on the west coast, I’d be given even more reason to agree that what we did to Arthur Light was just.
But as the news reports of his attack on the Titans come in, I pray that none of them are injured. Because if they are, there is no doubt in my mind that I, and every person in the watchtower that day, will bear the responsibility for it.
