Fair 'nuff.

But all Heather had to do was take her child, which she could have easily done without melting the heads of two relatives who really weren't doing anything wrong or endangering Claire in any way.

It may have been mainly written this way for shock-value. If so, it was effective. But not having any real follow-up to it, leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Heather was a hero; how does she feel about this act? How does she come to terms with it? Is she a wanted criminal? Does anybody else know what she did? Is she racked with guilt? Leaving us hanging with these questions, knowing full well it could be years before somebody attemtps to answer any of them, is cruel and unusual punishment. Why write it, if you are not going to properly finish it?

That's my take on things.

But you're right, other heroes have gone there.
