If you’ve ever discovered way too late that everyone else got the memo… this page is for you.
On today’s update, having the ‘Talk’ expands from “a sensible boundary conversation” into a full-blown superpowered relationship survival guide. Thwarts. Henches. Sidekicks. Fans. Secret identities. The works.
Lightning Lady just wanted dating advice.
