She could hardly take over her father's illegal interests, even temporarily. She lacked the requisite ruthlessness and reputation. And she's a woman in the Italian mob. Barring a sudden acquisition of super-powers, the best she could manage would be to marry someone and make him the heir-presumptive, granting him slightly more support in a war for control with Giordano.

There’s four other passengers, and the crew. It’s odd. Even late night flights usually have a decent number of people aboard. I feel like I slept through closing, and I’m in an empty business. The noncommittal lit-but-dark lighting helps the effect. I feel like one of Eric Burns’ characters, newly transferred out of psychopomp station. [...] [...] The train emptied out at Albany.

The strange thing: In both kinds of settings, the society is rather similar. The only difference between a utopia and a dystopia is that the utopia is unregulated, but everyone works together and plays nice anyway.

That was exactly the kind of superhero story *I* wanted to write! And you did it before I knew I wanted to write it! And you did it better than I could have! AAARRRGGGHHHH!! I am now dying of envy, and plan to stick a straw in your brain and suck out all of that sweet, sweet creativity. (I kinda liked the story a little bit, yeah) Damn you, Eric Burns.
