Yeah it does, although Fighter X had to leave to continue his work as a Space Police Officer. And Sunman returned to Earth in order to protect it.

[She nods seriously.]

Protecting is very important, even if you have to do things you don't want to or leave people behind.

Yeah, I can get behind that. It's something I've learned as well.

It's what me and my family does back home.

We've been protecting Eire before Eire was Eire.

Eire? Is that from Ireland?

Um... no. It's the same place...sort of. My world, where I'm from, we call it Eire.

[Which is right and proper. Ireland is just wrong...]

I'd never heard of Ireland before coming here.

Ah, okay. My world is pretty normal as far as geography goes. There's a lot of worlds connected to it though.

Ten years of being a superhero, you learn some things.

Mine is too. The names of places seem to be different.

Your world is connected to the Cosmic Web?

Heh. Mum won't let me go on the really dangerous missions solo just yet but I've been training since I was four.

What's your knack?

Dunno if I call it a Cosmic Web, but it's a world of fairy worlds and the human world.

The way I was told about it, a object called the Prism Flower keeps our worlds connected with the countless other kingdoms. And for years now, the residents of said Kingdoms have gone through strife and hardship, some of them even wiped out like the Palamir Kingdom before it was rebuilt.

I'm a superhero who uses lightning. They call us Precure.

[She brightened considerably. It's too bad Adrian wasn't around, he would love to question her about this prism flower thing. Most people considered the Cosmic Web a fairy tale but she believed him when he said it was a real thing.]

It's a... pathway... a connection between various worlds. Kind of like the ones between the human world and fairy. There's a story that says that my family came from some other destroyed world before coming to earth.

Precure... that's a cool sounding name. My knack is talking to animals and finding things.

That sounds like a fairy world to me. Most fairy worlds are under a strife of some sort, and then the Precure appear and defeat it. You could be your local variant of Precure.

Yeah, it's short for Pretty Cure. A group of magical superheroes who boast speed and agility higher than anyone else on the planet.

So you go rescuing people in other worlds?

Not very many people believe in the Cosmic Web except for the tin hat people and some really rare ritual mages... who could probably be classified as tin hat people.

Actually, the reason why we're protectors is kinda ... sad. My ancestor screwed up really badly and created an EVIL forest that ate people's souls. Part of the punishment for that was to protect the entry to fairy that we came from and make sure the evil forest didn't come through.

[A bit more complicated than that but...]

Pretty Cure? Why is that your name?

And use lightning?

Actually the villains tend to come to US. But there's been times we've gone to the fairy worlds to help them out.

Ah, yeah, most people don't know anything about the fairy worlds. Precure are usually secret, save for a few instances.

Oh I see, that must be hard.

[She smiled a little more though.]

Actually my superhero name is Cure Peace. Pretty Cure or Precure are ancient legends in my world, and have been part of the world for years.

My element is lightning, while my friends are beams, ice, wind and fire.

We go to the villains and punch them in the face. Sometimes the king asks us to help out.

People where I'm from know about fairies. My Uncle Sean specializes in fairy law and contracts. It's just the ability to travel to different planets or something they don't really believe.

It's not so bad. There's a lot of us. I've twelve aunts and uncles.

I'm just Ceilidh - but everyone in Eire knows who the McCallums are.

[She tugs at her hair] This is called McCallum red. Only people who are McCallums have this color hair. So EVERYONE who sees us know who we are. I can't even dye it. We've got a ton of legends about us and just regular stuff like books and movies.

What element is beam?

That sounds very proactive. Sometimes we can do that, but the problem with some of the villains who have come after me, is that their power is tenfold in their home base. So it makes sense to sit back and let them come to us.

Ah, I see. There's about... 40 Precure when I was young?

So like a designation. My friends have rainbow hair actually. Miyuki's red, Akane's red-orange too. Nao is green and Reika is blue. I'm blonde obviously.

Beam is like, lasers really. Giant, heart shaped lasers.

Oh yeah. Facing someone who gets power from their home base in their home base is really stupid; fortunately we don't have that problem most of the time. And if the problem happens at home then we get the power boost.

There's about twenty-three of us. About because I've got a cousin who is kinda weird and doesn't live in Eire. He spends most of his time surfing and drinking beer. About once a year he comes to visit and spends most of it watching TV and drinking beer.

Exactly! My eye color is the same way. I've always wondered what I'd look like blonde.

Heart shaped lasers?

That's pretty awesome!

Yeah, the Happiness Charge Precure had the worst of it, when Queen Mirage attacked the world. Her home base amplified her powers tenfold along with all of her minions. I was off doing damage control in my own town.

Ah, makes sense. There's been a lot of new Precure in the last ten years in my world, and there's been about twelve generations beforehand.

I'm all yellow. Yellow eyes, yellow hair, it's fun.

Yep! It's pretty cool.

The worst that we've gotten is some gods trying to take over the world a few years ago... but my aunt, uncle and cousins stop them! ...With the help with some other people...

[She has to give credit to the other people. Some of them are actually pretty cool.]

We've been around for ages, like I said. Sometimes something happens and everyone but one of us dies... which is really kinda weird but ... it happens.

It's very pretty! I'm kinda jealous.

We've had a problem with a rogue God before, his name was Red and he was the god of Mars.

It seems like there's new Precure being activated every year in my world. I'm surprised at how many there are.

Thanks, your hair is really pretty too.

Well, that's not the most imaginative name. I suppose it's better than Mars god of Mars. Or Mars god of the color red?

[She laughs a little.]

The ringleaders of my god problem were Ash and Melkor. They're a god of the moon and death from some forgotten pantheon... somewhere.

[A bright smile.]

It's a bit frizzy here, but thank you!

[And a pause.]

I'm Ceilidh.

Yeah, no doubt. But no one said Gods were creative. The God of the Earth was named Blue.

Ah, I see. We've had evil corporations, evil musicians, the embodiment of sorrow, etcetra.

Heheheh, I'm Yayoi. Nice to get a name.

[That earns a snorting giggle.] True!

Melkor owns the largest multinational company in the world; so that's an evil corporation. Mum's stopped a couple of evil musicians... no embodiments of anything though.

Yes! Nice to meet you...

Seems like we've got similar histories, at least in various ways. That's pretty cool.

Same here.

Yeah.

Which is cool. No one back home at least near where I live gets what it's like. There's other families out there but they're off in like Gaul.

Gaul, Gaul, I know this from history class... I think that was the ancient name of France.
