Nobody is aware of the place Young Justice disappeared to, however Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark) is decided to search out out. Sadly, to her dismay, not many individuals have an interest or have even seen that Young Justice is lacking. So, in Dark Crisis: Young Justice #2 (by Meghan Fitzmartin, Laura Braga, Luis Guerrerro, and Pat Brosseau) she went to her outdated buddy Arrowette for assist and acquired a surprisingly harsh response for her efforts.
Arrowette, now merely going by Cissi as she tries to reside a standard life, needs nothing to do with Cassie’s issues. In her eyes, her time as part of Young Justice was by no means fairly as nice as everybody appears to suppose. Cissi remembers the toxicity, the sexist and racist actions they took half in, and naturally, her personal irrelevance when paired up with Robin, Superboy, or Impulse. What makes this condemnation even tougher is that she is appropriate in her evaluation of the previous.
Cissi’s view is not simply harsh, it is real looking. Young Justice’s enemies on the time of their formation have been principally composed of people that the Justice League didn’t perceive. They often turned out to be girls or folks from different nations. Her phrases are corroborated by the boys’ struggles within the alternate world. Their combat with the Mighty Endowed was one instance, but it surely did not assist issues when their subsequent opponent was Tora, a feminine Hispanic villain, confirming all of Cissi’s accusations.
Then there’s her largest downside of all — the false friendships she made on the staff. Although Young Justice tries to painting themselves as a household, Cissi solely actually interacted with them at any time when one thing went unsuitable with the boys. Cassie tried to disclaim this, however Cissi countered by declaring that she was solely right here as a result of they have been lacking.
It has been a relentless downside and continues to be within the current day. The ladies get shoved to the sideline as a result of the boys are extra distinguished, one other a part of the toxicity that Cissi would gladly wash her fingers of. This does not absolve Cassie in her thoughts both. To her, Cassie was not blind to the dysfunction of the staff, slightly she loved it. She favored having to handle the issues it brought on, and in consequence, her life revolved across the boys. Cissi in the meantime, was little greater than an afterthought.
Seeing and listening to all of it laid out, her actions abruptly turn out to be justifiable. She noticed the issue and acknowledged that there was little she may do to repair a system that was so damaged. Somewhat than proceed to participate in it, she left it behind, placing herself earlier than the wants of “three privileged idiots”. Even these harsh phrases turn out to be comprehensible contemplating how a lot she’s needed to put up with. Arrowette is true, Young Justice was a poisonous atmosphere for her, she has each proper to be indignant and transfer on along with her life.
