Judy had finally been let out of the medical bay. One of the downsides to having a small body was the fact that things like poisonous gas tended to hit a person harder than someone twice their size. The doctors had kept Judy a little while longer than most, poking and prodding at her before deeming her healthy enough to start exploring the satellite, with strict instructions to report back if she had trouble breathing. Oddly enough, it didn't feel like they were patronizing her because of her size, but were just generally concerned with her health.

Not something they needed to do, really. She felt better than she ever had in her life. Though that just might be the superpowers talking, which was bizarrely weird. Not for the first time she caught herself wondering what Nick would think about it.

The bunny, clad in her uniform, eventually made it to the Obs Deck. She stared down at the planet, considering her options. Legion or Science Police, Science Police or Legion. The idea of doing neither didn't occur to her, having spent so much of her life wanting to be in law enforcement. The only question was which would be the better fit for her.

There was also a small part of her recalling a small lamb from back home in Bunnyburrow who'd be extremely jealous of her right now.

That resonated with Judy. The size of it was mind-bending, but the actual emotions, thoughts, desires, and will behind it were something she had a more than passing familiarity with.

"Wow. I guess we're not that different, really." she said, a little surprised by that fact.

"Every time someone asked my why I wanted to be a police officer, I said it was so I could make the world a better place, however I possibly could. It's nice to know that even if the size of it changes, the reasons I don't."

"It never changes. It's people, that's what it's about. When I'm on some alien world and a giant robot is running around destroying everything, and I save people, they're just like the people on Earth. Just as scared for themselves and their loved ones, just as grateful. They look different, but that don't matter. Look at the two of us, we look different, sure, but we're both cops with -- apparently -- the same priorities."

It never really felt that different from superheroing on Earth, even if the way everything looked was different.

"In the end, I'm still just an ordinary guy from Long island," he said with a small, almost-shy smile, and he shrugged. "And they're just people that need someone looking out for 'em. You serve and protect, it's just the things you're protecting 'em from are a whole lot bigger."
