It wasn't but that is what saved lives in that case.
Tankers are taught that armour protects against enemy fire. But they never expected it to fold to bare hands.

There is little else more soothing than falling asleep to the pitti patter of the rain outside.
Time to visit her favourite ice cream parlour. She is going to take her time.
It was not my intention to be cruel, my apologies if my remark hurt you.
A certain someone being front and center no doubt?
Just as she had proposed, the Amazonian princess gently picks the pen that was offered to deftly write her signature onto the plastic shield of her likeness. "There, all done. I hope this is alright?"
A sigh of relief escaped his lips; her agreement instantly made everything easier and ignited a spark of joy within him that he struggled to contain as a small โYes!โ slipped out. โThe shield would be perfect, thank you!โ It would become the centerpiece of his Wonder Woman memorabilia collection.
And when we succeed lives are saved. No you just fall for the... Lines you feed yourself so you don't have to try. Because the hurt coming off of you is palpable, the proverbial flinching away from anything that is a connection. Why expose yourself to other people when the stakes are so high? --
People asking Diana to sign a memorabilia was not out of the ordinary, it was quite common actually. Sometimes it was a piece of clothing, a lunch box, a hat, or a poster. What did come as unexpected was that the usually quite quiet son of Bruce Wayne would be the one asking. That slight --
He shyed away, his eyes darting from her kind yet strong gaze to the bag he was gripping so tightly that his knuckles were turning white. โI was wondering, if itโs not too much trouble, could you sign this?โ He pulled out his limited edition Wonder Woman figurine. โI brought a pen tooโฆโ
There it is, the disagreement that was bound to happen. You don't need my pity nor would you want it nor would I offer any. A hint to the topic we had earlier, about respect. Even if it's just the respect you pay yourself. What would be the alternative? Not risk going out into the world --
Nobody said doing what we do is easy. On us or the people around us. But every saved life is worth the hardship. Because, and this is what people often forget, this is not the endgame.. We know we can't save everybody, that's what inspiration is all about. To teach people to save themselves
If he has indeed angered or offended her in any way shape or form, she didn't show it. Her demeanor was as open and inviting as it always was. "Yes... Damian, how can I be of assistance?"
Breathe in, breathe out. Clutching his bag tightly, his anxious grip showed his uncertainty about approaching @paxdefensor.bsky.social with a simple question. Teaming up to battle crime with her is far easier than this. โAhem. Miss Wonder Womanโ? Ack.โ Already he has put his foot in it.
Another topic we agree on. Harley should be well, and happy. Why is that a problem? It's a world we all share. Me, you, Harley, your plants, we all just want to live and be happy. And that's possible or not has not been decided until you try and try and try until you can try no more. --
"A meeting at the UN, ice cream afterwards."
โWhatโs everyone doing today?โ
She does, she is the best mother one could wish for, even if we are at odds with one another. Given where she comes from I am glad that you managed to provide another option she was willing to take. But what about people you you don't agree with, wouldn't you say that positively influencing --
My queen mother would agree with you on that. That I might be... Stubborn to a fault. I learned that by example. Have you tried being a positive influence?
Why is the sun shining, the water fresh and the grass green, because that is who I am. I try to be a positive influence, always.
Two separate aspects about respect, one is about how to obtain it, the other on the meaning of respect. Only earning it doesn't mean one would get it unless the other person acknowledges they have to pay the earned respect.
Given that you think of me as a brute wouldn't I have already become .. violent if it did? Respect given says more about the one paying it than the one receiving it.
