"Mmm, likely not the same thing." She frowned, crossing her arms and leaned back on her heel, "Where to begin then. You were with us at our meeting." She looked off into the distance as she gathered her thoughts. After a long moment she decided to start at the broadest point.
"In the world I come from there exists a secret Brotherhood known as the Assassins. They've been around for several centuries before my time. However the name tells much about our methods, but not our purposes. We aim to be humanity's defenders of freedom and free will. We remove those who would use their power to rule in tyranny over others or take advantage of innocents. We stop wheels turning before they can begin if we can help it. We do not harm innocents ourselves in pursuit of our goals, or at least do our best to avoid it." She frowned, sometimes things got a bit grey in the heat of the moment, but the ideal was still strong.
"Our enemy in my world seeks to rule the world by their own Order. To create and shape the rules that people live by, no matter who gets crushed underfoot in the process." She gestured vaguely with her hand as she continued. "It's not so simple as good versus evil. We kill to achieve our ends, and they've sought all manner of ways to keep a leash on humanity ranging from war to slavery to the use of ancient artifacts."
She turned, looking off in the direction of the hospital. "In that regard, Palitutu wasn't that far different than the Templars. It would be within my scope as an Assassin to kill her and remove her from the board, and it was my intent for the longest time. For now though, I have promised to leave her be." She glowered, unhappy with the promise, but she did not need to make an enemy of the other Heroes. There were greater things at stake and the blood would serve no benefit if spilled.
