[ he's been quiet. the past few months have been a lot. a beating to his ego if there ever was one, blows to his heart and soul he's not sure he'll fully recover from. a wakeup call in the worst way, from every direction, leaving him reeling. ]

Hafid al Ghul isn't my real name. Damian Wayne is. I don't feel right saying what I want to say without being upfront about that.

I don't care which you call me. It might mean nothing, but I believe a foundation built upon lies and secrets is doomed to fail. Especially when it isn't upfront on what it wants to do and what it is building towards. What I intend to do is to help rebuild this world and the faith of its people in the way I was taught works best. Using these abilities to make whatever difference I can. Hiding my identity while being visible enough for people to see that someone is out there, night after night, fighting for them and making their city safer.

A world in shambles needs something to believe in. It needs heroes. Heroes to give people something to hope and aspire towards. And I know Morningstar all its agents are an integral part of the survival of this world. I have no intention of cutting ties or diminishing its importance. I can't tell any of you what to do moving forward, only my opinion and even that won't mean much.

But I believe I can do more operating on the outside of the organization while working in tandem with it, maintaining that visible presence and upholding a strict code of conduct - if you'll have me do it. And I'm not arrogant enough to think I can make the change by myself, but I've seen the world in the aftermath of a madman lashing out for attention. People need something to believe in, and if the UNA has its way, then that will be what they lean towards.

The last time I addressed you all like this I acted like I had all the answers and that I knew what was best for all of us moving forward. This isn't that. I didn't, and I don't. This isn't a direction for the Displaced as a whole, but for me and anyone who wants to join me. One that requires more voices and thoughts than just mine, and I can't please everyone, but I can do a hell of a lot more than what I've been doing.

This is what I believe in. But this is what I want.

So tell me.

What do you all want?
