          I think Dorothy just wants to be Lois Lane. The reporter thing, and all.

          So when she meets a superhero she automatically assumes she’s going to be in a love triangle with both the hero and the secret identity. And since she’s dating Walky, that must be who Amazi-Girl is.

          He lives in the same dorm, is obsessed with cartoons (meaning he might have superhero fantasies), is smarter than he seems (Clark Kent always pretended to be a bit of a dope), and is altogether strange enough to do something like this.

        It is a bit of a Xanatos Gambit, if AG reveals her identity than her curiosity is sated and she may or may not have a piece. If she doesn’t, then Dotty has the means to figure it out on her own and she has her piece anyway.

          Not to mention assuming Amazi-girl is decent enough that she won’t beat Dotty into a bloody pulp and solve the whole blackmail thing by threatening to do it again. Relying on the fact your foe isn’t a screw-the-consequences, result-driven douche like you are to have the upper hand is indeed quite Xanatos.

    Dorothy is being surprisingly obnoxious with her line of “Do you want me on your side or not?” And all because Amazi-Girl won’t give her an interview.

    This is something that Dorothy should drop. Even if she were to figure out the truth, she would be making an enemy out of someone who might not hesitate to maim her given the circumstances; granted, Amber may not be a truly violent individual by nature, but that could change if the exposed truth has adverse consequences for her in the form of criminal charges, civil suites, expulsion from college, and so forth.

    Also, if Dorothy herself thinks that Amazi-Girl is awesome, she should take into consideration that others may think the exact same thing. In exposing the identity of Amazi-Girl, she might be making other enemies as well, albeit indirectly.

    Hmmm. So who are the reporters that are not on Amazi-Girl’s side? Maybe Amber is avoiding her to keep her sharp at avoiding future reporters. Amazi-Girl is a hero so I don’t see her resorting to violence to stop Dorothy, but I do wonder if maybe she will seduce some info on Dorothy out of her ex Danny. Things that she could use against Dorothy.

      If only Dorothy could be ‘taught’ that lesson.

      Honestly, and I’m probably rather alone in this, but I think Mike dislikes Dorothy because she’s competing with him for the asshole slot*. Take the bullshit she’s laying down here: Dorothy isn’t on Amazi-Girl’s side. Dorothy just wants photos and maybe an interview to go with the story so she can look good. I mean, who knows, maybe it’ll help her get to her ‘rightful place’ in a better school. I get the idea that if throwing her grandmother under a bus would get Joyce a straight shot to Yale, the old lady’d better invest in a helmet and body armor, because she’s going to roll.

      *Position? Spot? How do you say that without making a double entendre?

        Well, to be fair, Amazi-Girl is a vigilante which, while freaking awesome, is also illegal. At the very least I’m sure she could get stuck with a couple of assault charges… Which makes Dorothy a bad person for not reporting her to the proper authorities.

        I’m sorry, but in the real world somebody would have gotten hurt by now. Maybe Amazi-Girl herself.

          And sure Amazi-Girl is a dangerous vigilante… she’s always been a dangerous vigilante, to paraphrase a possible future version of the psychotic she’s modeling herself on. But you can’t tell me Dorothy wants the pix so she can *help* Amazi-girl or even help stop Amazi-girl. Hulk may be slow, and it may be hard for Hulk to think, but even Hulk ain’t buying that.

    Swap out cross country for track and field (a reasonable thing for anyone who didn’t hear what Amazi-Girl just said to do), and…doesn’t Dorothy herself fit that description? Another campus reporter could easily compile this same evidence and wind up on Dorothy’s doorstep. She’s often unaccounted for because she’s alone studying…it’s already been said that she looks a lot like Amber….
