How long did Cloud not think of himself as one before realizing Zack's dream and sharing it with his own? He never wanted to relive that feeling of being helpless ever again. Now was her chance to protect the people that needed her, at least that was how Cloud viewed it. There was nothing wrong with not being a hero at the same time.
