prev post continuation: she's so clean about her boundaries. she never makes her students feel like a burden. but she will shame authorities for trying to waste her time or thinking she'll be a sucker for them LMAO all while still being a model employee! cause technically she is doing her job and none of this is a fireable offence :) and she's not rude either, she can sound very polite and friendly while reminding you of her business hours. she will not feel obligated to work extra hours for the salary she know she is entitled to and how she doesn't fall for superhero propaganda too it's even funnier because she doesn't need teams, she's a solo vigilante. teams would usually want/need her or just another pair of hands. so unlike a principal, she'll be more likely to tell a hero or even the team leader to fuck off without hesitation if they try to exploit her free labour for bureaucratic nonsense; cause at school, she's a salaried employee. but superhero teams aren't technically a real job most times, everybody's authority is made up, and the point is to save people, not to play dick measuring contests. missions don't mean shit either. helena considers vigilantes as civilian servants of the people, not saviours or rulers. her loyalty is to civilians, not these caped randos who can't scare her in a way that matters. she's only on the team because you wanted her. otherwise she'd be doing it on her own and winning. at least her principal pays her a salary GDGVBS
