❛ is that a challenge? ❜
Ya ni recuerda cuánto tiempo ha pasado desde que le suprimieron sus poderes, ya no importaba porque no deseaba recordar todas las semanas en donde estar en una escuela de supers sin tener poderes era irónico, al final Aella y ella se habían puesto de acuerdo para fingir una tregua y asi recuperar sus poderes, aunque bueno la princesita se las apañaba bien sin poderes, después de todo tenía entrenamiento de Amazona, lo cual era odioso el hecho de no poder usar sus dispositivos.
Hoy tuvieron de vuelta sus poderes asi que el verdadero entrenamiento iba a empezar. Algo que deseaba atrasar, no porque pensará que sería pesado sino porque en todo este tiempo ha tenido un sueño que la dejaba intranquila y hacia que no quisiera estar más de lo necesario con Aella, ¿su sueño? Bueno, se trataba de ellas justamente estando de una forma más que amistosa, empezaba a odiar su sueño aunque no fuera el mismo, eran diferentes situaciones, pero siempre muy amorosas.
Al llegar aún pensaba en el ultimo sueño, no dice nada, solo deja su mochila en el piso, se baja la capucha de su cabeza mientras espera las ordenes de Aella.

Faceclaim:  Camila Mendes
Love interest: Tim Drake
Summary: When Aella Wayne’s National City boarding school got destroyed during one of Supergirl’s epic battles, she knew that she would have to go back to Gotham for the first time since she was thirteen.  It would mean leaving behind her beloved internship at CatCo, unfortunately, but she’d barely seen her dad since she started school so she was still looking forward to that.  Of course, when she gets home, nothing is as she remembers. There’s a bat themed vigilante with a neon sidekick, her dad has all but adopted a boy her age, and she seems to be the only person to realize that Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake are Batman and Robin.

Summary: Annika Webster loves Central City, she really did. But at eighteen and fresh out of high school, she needed something different. Something new.  So she grabbed her passport and her camera, and hopped on the next flight to London .  Annika spent the next several years travelling the world and making a name for herself as a photographer and travel journalist, and by 25, she was ready to think about settling down.  So when the next invite rolled in, from Harrison Wells himself, asking her to come to Central City to photograph the grand reveal of his particle accelerator, she’s all too happy to hop on the next plane home.  It was supposed to be just another gig, something she’d done a million times. It wasn’t supposed to end with her waking up from a coma nine months later, laying in a hospital bed next to her once best friend, Barry Allen.

Summary: Esmerelda Torres would like the record to show that it was not being a Titan that had made her special.  Before being Miss Universe, Esmerelda had just been a little girl who believed that she could change the world.  It was the members of the team that made the Titans special, not the other way around.  But she had lost it along the way, they all had.  Sometime after Garth, after Jericho, after the team split up, that spark of eternal hope had faded, leaving behind a young adult, lost and untethered, special only in name.  Until Dick Grayson walked back into her life with a teenage girl in tow, reminding her that at one point she had poured her heart and soul into saving everyone.  Reminding her that at one point, she had been special.  And that she could be again.

Summary: Of course Greer Collier knew who Dick Grayson was, every Gotham native knew the Wayne ward, and as two of the few children brought to galas throughout the city, they’d known each other well, once.  But that was years ago, more than a decade since she’d last seen him, when suddenly Detective Richard Grayson is asking her to grab coffee and answer a couple of questions.  
She’s confident that he hasn’t found anything connecting her to her actions as Hellcat, and she doesn’t think that he’d be all that interested in the supposed glitz and glam of her life, so she’s perfectly fine with simply ignoring the request.  But when Robin suddenly shows up, digging into her nightlife and following her across rooftops, she can’t help but wonder if the vigilante and the detective are following the same thread, and if it might not be worthwhile to hear what Dick Grayson has to say.

Fandom: Arrow
Faceclaim:  Leighton Meester
Love Interest: James Bishop; Oliver Queen
Summary: Yvette Knight was the epic love of Oliver Queen’s life.  As the daughter of a French heiress and an American media mogul, their families had always had close ties, and the two had been raised side by side. Best friends since infancy, childhood puppy love turned high school sweethearts, everyone expected them to be engaged as soon as they finished college.  It never happened.  Instead, when Ivy returned to America after four years at Oxford, she came back with James Bishop on her arm, and his ring on her finger, and to Oliver Queen in bed with Laurel Lance.  Heartbroken by his ex-girlfriend’s engagement, Oliver was quick to agree to join his father on the Gambit to go to China.  To his death.
Five years later, Oliver Queen is back from the dead, and he hardly recognizes the world he’s returned to.  The one thing he does recognize?  The family’s publicist, the woman who held his family together through his death and now his resurrection, none other than Ivy Knight herself.  Still engaged and still unmarried, a bit older and sadder than she used to be, she’s a dead man’s dream come true.   And Oliver can’t pretend that he’s any less in love with her than he’d ever been.

Summary: Kelsey Doyle wouldn’t necessarily call her life boring – her job at the CCPD made sure of it – but it was ordinary.  Wake up, drink too much coffee, go to work, drink too much coffee, work late, drink too much coffee, go home, and repeat.  The only thing that kept her from losing her mind was her best friend and co-worker, Barry Allen.  It was just another normal day when Barry got back from Starling City, ready to drag she and Iris to STAR Labs to see their new particle accelerator.   It was less normal when she and Barry watched the accelerator go haywire on TV, and even less normal when she got hit by lightning.  And it was anything but normal when Kelsey Doyle died.

Summary: Kinsley Kord didn’t miss being a Titan.  She didn’t.  She missed her best friends more than anything, and she missed living with them in the tower, but she didn’t miss being the Justice League’s glorified cleanup crew, risking her life on missions deemed below their notice.  And almost ten years after leaving the tower, she was perfectly happy to leave Glitch in the past and focus on her future.  She was happy, really, she was.
And so of course, of every bakery in Gotham, it had to be hers that Dick Grayson wandered into with a teenage girl in his care and assassins on their tail.  And of course he couldn’t have just taken a donut and left, no.  Dick Grayson just had to ask for her help, and Kinsley Kord still couldn’t say no to him.

Summary: When Mia Queen was twelve, her father and brother were lost at least.  Weeks before she turns eighteen, her brother is found alive, and returns home.  Only, nothing is as he remembered.  Moira is distant, married to their father’s CFO and having clandestine meetings with Malcolm Merlyn.  Thea has gone wild, relying on alcohol and drugs to numb the pain of losing Robert and Oliver, shoplifting just to feel something.  And Mia… Mia has gone wild in her own way, sneaking out to the Glades to see her secret boyfriend, getting into fights wherever she could find them, breaking rules just to see if anyone would care enough to stop her.
But with Oliver’s miraculous return, all eyes are on the Queen family.  Between prying reporters and a concerned older brother, a lot of secrets risk being brought to light — secrets that some in the city would kill to keep hidden.

Summary: Coming from the richest families in Gotham had perks, and Teagan O’Neal knew it well; after all, that was why she and her best friend Nico had always been untouchable by the law.  Growing up it was all about petty theft, vandalism, and underage drinking, but as they got older, things changed.  Following in his family’s footsteps, Nico took on a life of vigilantism, while Teagan, following a legacy that no one else knew about, went darker.  Their difference in morals had never been a problem in their relationship, even after they started living together.  After all, they respected each other’s boundaries and never crossed paths in the shadowy Gotham underworld.  At least, not before Nico’s former brother, Dick Grayson, showed up, asking for Nico’s help to track down Dinoaea, the Venus Flytrap, Teagan herself.

Summary: According to the police report, Rowena Abbot did kill her father — even if she didn’t remember doing so.  She could remember the moments before, the raised voice and fists, and she could remember the moments after, the blood splattered across the walls, but she couldn’t remember anything in between.  Still, despite the lack of any weapon or recollection, not even an honest self defence plea was enough to keep her out of jail.
Ten years later, older and wiser, more angry and more powerful than she’d ever been before, Rowena Abbott is released, and she only has one thing on her mind: revenge.  And then she meets her parole officer, Detective Dick Grayson, and with him, a teenage girl far too familiar for the stranger she is.

Love Interest: Dick Grayson
Summary: Growing up in Crime Alley was anything but pleasant, everyone knew that.  For Vanessa Kline, the only silver lining her life had ever had was Jason Todd, her baby brother in all but blood.  From the first time they’d met, when he was nine and she was twelve, he’d been the centre of her life and she’d promised herself that she would do anything to protect him.  But when he was twelve, he got picked up by CPS and taken into foster care, and Vanessa could never find him again.  Only a few weeks later, she was found and taken in by the Gotham City Sirens, and her life finally took a turn for the better.
The years passed, and everything changed.  Vanessa went to art school, left Gotham, became a vigilante.  Songbird, a nickname that her mothers had given her and a tribute to her lost baby brother, she never focused on the big bad villains — that was what Batman and Robin and even the Sirens were for.  No, Songbird looked after the kids, the poor and downtrodden, protecting them like she wished someone had protected her. She occasionally teamed up with Robin, sure, but for the most part, she worked alone.  As long as she didn’t let herself get close to people, she wouldn’t have to lose anyone else.
But when Detective Dick Grayson seeks her out, trying to figure out why the Sirens had gone completely off the radar, Vanessa finds herself thrown into a mystery unlike any she’s faced before.  But this time, she has a partner at her back — a partner that turns out to have a surprising connection to a face from her past.

http://www.romtext.org.uk/articles/rt21_n03/ —what follows is something of a meta-process of y narrative...to date... — You have to spend some looooong hours venturing into places on Arthurian esoterica, and looooong hours on the haziest era of history covering a 200 year period (400-600AD), filtering a lot of NewAge woo, to find gems that appeal to me. Late 18thc/early 19th c Gothic Romanticism, female writers, and Imperator Eutherios (that’s my Arthur—I don’t actually have an Arthur in what I’m writing...well, later, but he’s a son of either Uthyr Pen, or Theodoric the Great/Ostrogothic King of Italy. I’m taking GoMonmouth, and raising him to a whole new level). I can’t even begin to expound (well, I could, but it would make no sense on a FB list...), but Merlin, like Arthur, doesn’t exist in my land. Myrddin Emrys, mentioned in Nennius (and later conflated by Geoffrey of Monmouth with Merlin the Prophet, Merlinius Ambrosius, and a bit of borrowing from a Scottish Wild Man tradition of Llailoken), is actually a combo character sharing an intriguing tale of ‘The boy without a father motif’/‘the boy fathered by the Tyrant/High King, Vortigern, upon his daughter/daughter-in-law’—which also arises in the curious tale of St Eutigern and the bishop Faustus as well, where Eutigern is revealed as the son of a woman who won’t identify the father, until it’s revealed by Eutigern himself, at the prompting of St Germanus, before a Court of Bishops, who is his biologic father—Vortigern, of course, who sires Eutigern in an act of incest (the English text says ‘daughter’, but my understanding of the Latin in Nennius is a more general word applied to daughter/daughter in law...). Per certain geneologies, Vortigern had 3 older sons—Vortimer ( Benjen Stark), Catigern (Ned Stark), and Pascentius. There’s a 4th child as well, conflated between Eutigern/Briocatus (Jon Snow) who’s sent abroad to Gaul for a monestary education. Vortimer and Catigern actually rebel against their father, Vortigern, and take up war agsinst Vortigern’s Jutes, Hengist And Horsa. Catigern falls whilst slaying Horsa, and Vortimer is declared King, by favor of the bishops, in opposition to his tryrant father, Vortigern (Tywin Lannister). Anyway, there’s really no basis for analogizing Vortimer with the only ‘historical’ personage with any basis for actual existence—Ambrosius Aurelianus—But in the context of Gildas’s polemic on Britain’s ruin, Nennius’s legendary compendium of British history, and Hagiographic ‘Lives of the British Saints’, it makes the most sense to me. It’s Vortimer who’s married to Ygerna/Ingren, daughter of Irish King, Crimthann mac Ennais of a branch of Leinstermen. This allows for the peaceful colonization of the Deisi—the Irish inhabitants of SW Wales-and an alliance with Gloucester/Glevum, whence Vortigern’s tribunal seat is located. At some point, amid the war with Vortimer, Vortigern manages to occupy the fortress where Vortimer’s wife, Ygerna, is sheltered in hiding—Caermarthon/Moridunum (the local area retaining many Merlin associated legends in its topography). And fueled not by love or passion, but vengeance and a wish to humiliate his rebel son, Vortigern forces Ygerna...and Eutigern/Uthyr/Myrddin is born 9 months later. And exposed to the wilds by Ygerna’s command, to be found and raised by Ygerna’s much older daughter, Madrun, the twin sister of Anna (per legend, the mother of Gwalchamai/Gawain and Medrod/Modred) the children of Vortimer, until such a time as Myrddin’s true identity as Uthyr/Eutigern, Vortigern’s illegitimate son fathered upon his daughter-in-law, gets revealed. Thus, the twists and turns of secrets and betrayals tearing apart the house of Glevum/Vortigern’s progeny. To warp this a bit more, Vortigern, by my devising, is actually the youngest brother of Hengist and Horsa, by Wihtgils (of the Kingdom of Kent). Wihtgils, in my poor etymologizing, shares a similarity with the Latin name, Vitalis. Which in turn, is a cognate borrowed in Nordic languages, of Fitelis—the Latin rendering of Sinfjotl, of Waelsung fame in the Wagnerian tradition. So, Hengist and Horsa are actually Waelsungs, and uncles of Vortimer and Eutigern, making Vortigern’s line 1/2 Teutonic, descended of Wotan/Odin on down to Vortimer/Ambrosius Aurelianus (referred to as Emreis Wledig in the Welsh legends—Emrys the Chief Lord—which is pretty much what Vortimer means too, incidentally. He’s known as Gwrthefyr Fendigaid/Vortimer the Blessed, in the Saints’ Lives...), and Eutigern/Uthyr. His brother fathered upon his own wife by his father—a child of Jute warlords, Irish nobility, and some bit of Roman-British aristocracy. Lumping Merlin’s persona into Uthyr lends an evolution of the two traditional Arthurian roles—brutal, sometimes ruthless war-lord, combined with natural philosopher-architect-mathematician-alchemist-learned man educated in Faustus’s monastery in Gaul, during his adolescence. Eventually, he rendezvous with an exiled Vortimer (borrowing carelessly from the tale of Riotamus, the British king who brings over 10,000 troops to Gaul at the behest of the Emperor in 468AD, and is defeated by the Visigoths on account of betrayal by a Roman prelate. Sidonius Apollonarius also mentions a Riocathus, a studious young man, borrowing some books to send back to Britain, who stands in as Uthyr...). The two spend the following years living as mercenaries, and later sea-wolves/raiders, amongst the frozen waters of the Northmen, their war-band of native British-born Romans allying with exiled Danes/Geats/Swedes fighting put their own dynastic wars between Heathobard, Scylding, Yngling (not the beer), and Yfling (which is how we tie the figures of Beowulf and Hrolf Kraki’s Saga into this...), until their fleet and forces grow to a might able to invade Britain again, and defeat their father, and his Jute brethren/varied allies of Saxon/Frank/and Frisian. Geoffrey is still mostly the road-map of elements followed in this tale, but just kind of condensed and reformatted. As for Guinevere, she’s a whole other level of warping. Daughter of Ravens and the people of the Horse Goddess (left-over Sarmatians and newly arrived Alani), the Queen who unites Valentia Beyond the Walls/Caledonia, and pacifies the Anglian/Dane/Swede settlers of Brynach/Bernaccia and Dewyr/Deira, she’s not Arthur’s Queen, but marries Uthyr reluctantly, uniting north and south—their mutual goal to see the new Germanic colonists assimilate into the culture of a stable and independent Britannia. The challenge: keeping Britannia stable, united, and independent. She’s based, mostly, on St Gwenabwy/Gwenafwy (and a little on St Genevieve, for the later exchanges with Clovis, grandson of Merovich of the Salian Franks), who’s mentioned a a daughter of the northern chieftain, generically given the name Cawnur (Giant), who is also the father of Gildas-Euryn (my Cunedda Wledig), Huail, and a sister, Cywyllog. Cywyllog becomes the wife of Medrod, Uthyr’s nephew, which lends an interesting appliqué of the Welsh triad involving the Battle of Camlann, where Gwenhwyfar is struck by her little sister, Gwenhwfach, which starts the battle between Modred and Arthur/Uthyr. The classic love triangle of Guinevere, Arthur, and Lancelot takes the form of Guinevra, Uthyr, and Theodoric the Amaling/Ostrogoth at the close of Clovis’s conquest of the Roman affiliated Kingdom of Soisson, and the Frankish clash with British kingdoms of Amorica/Brittany in northern Gaul (490-93ish...). The timing coinciding with Theodoric’s stalemate outside of Ravenna, as he conquers Italy from the tyrant, Odovacer (the AngloSaxon Eadwacer/Adavacrius), and is desperate for a fleet to blockade the harbor of Ravenna, in order to wins final battle. Theodoric refuses to garner support from Constantinople, seeking to break ties with Byzantian hegemony, that wishes to extend its influence over the West once more. And so, he ventures to Clovis, at the head of a contingent to ask for Clovis’s sister to marry (Audafleda—historically, Theoderic’s wife and mother of Amalsuintha), crossing paths with Guinevra, in Gaul, intent on bringing her husband and his legions back to Britain, in order to quell the uprising of Onela/Aella and his sons, Northmen settled in Sussex, whilst Medrod holds the British homeland forces firm. Lovers long before, Gwen was receiving an education in a decaying Rome, and Theodoric resided there, as a hostage of Odovacer’s during the failed campaign of his uncle to invade Italy. This draws from traditions involving a St Tewdrig (Theodoric), and his son and grandson, Meurig/Mauricius, and Athrwys/Atreus, respectively. I also draw on some Procopius here, and some Jordanes. Along with Tewdrig in Britain, there’s also mention in some history of Theodoric off the LacusCurtius site, that it’s never clear where he eventually acquires a naval force strong enough to lock Odovacer from both a land, and now water, way and brings Ravenna, consequently, to her knees by starvation. Anyway, ramblings aside, my favorite folktale comes from the body of Scottish/Northern Arthur topographical. Around Sewingshields, the translation being ‘Castle of the Seven Shields’, a bunch of heath covered crags lies just north of Hadrian’s Wall, around Housesteads/Vindolanda. It’s said Arthur lies in a barrow there, waiting to awaken. There’s also another folkstory that belies the domestic relations between Arthur/Uthyr and Guinevere. He apparently decided to toss a 20ton boulder at his wife, who was combing out her hair at the time. She managed to catch the boulder with her comb and gently land the boulder down. The area apparently has two hills overlooking a valley, known as The King’s Hill and the Queen’s Hill, associated with Arthur and Guinevere. The tale is likely no older than maybe the late Middle Ages, but it’s sort of cute. And makes me think, assuming existence (improbable), if Uthyr really was a southern lord trying to assert dominance over Britainnia, including the lands of the Caledonians, perhaps the tale was in some way, an much corrupted fragment of a long lost marital arrangement entered into with ambivalence on the part of the Queen, who wished to maintain her own autonomy and that of her own territories...

Ivar the Boneless part 2 In 865, the Great Heathen Army, led by Ivar, invaded the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy. The Heptarchy was the collective name for the seven kingdoms East Anglia, Essex, Kent, Mercia, Northumbria, Sussex and Wessex. The invasion was organised by the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok, to wreak revenge against Aella of Northumbria who had supposedly executed Ragnar in 865 by throwing him in a snake pit. Legend states that Ragnar sang a death song in the pit, confident of the bloody battles his sons would initiate to avenge him. According to the saga, Ivar did not overcome Aella and sought reconciliation. He asked for only as much land as he could cover with an ox's hide and swore never to wage war against Aella. Then Ivar cut the ox's hide into such fine strands that he could envelop a large fortress (in an older saga it was York and according to a younger saga it was London) which he could take as his own. Late the next year the army turned north and invaded Northumbria, eventually capturing Aella at York in 867. According to legend, Aella was executed by Ivar and his brothers using the blood eagle, a ritual method of execution whereby the ribcage is opened from behind and the lungs are pulled out, forming a wing-like shape.  Later in the year the Army moved south and invaded the kingdom of Mercia, capturing the town of Nottingham, where they spent the winter. King Burgred of Mercia responded by allying with the West Saxon king Aethelred of Wessex, and with a combined force they laid siege to the town. The Anglo-Saxons were unable to recapture the city, but a truce was agreed whereby the Danes would withdraw to York. The Great Heathen Army remained in York for over a year, gathering its strength for further assaults. Ivar and Ubba are identified as the commanders of the Danes when they returned to East Anglia in 869, and as the executioners of the East Anglian king, Edmund the Martyr, for refusing their demand that he renounce Christ. How true the accounts are of Edmund's death is unknown, but it has been suggested that his capture and execution is not an unlikely thing to have happened. #destroytheday https://www.instagram.com/p/BqNJpXUhCdj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17gn5s061g21i

❛ of all the idiots in the world, i'm stuck with you. ❜
Aquel día estaba más que enojada, por la mañana habia peleado con su madre porque por milesima vez no quería hablarle sobre su padre, casi no sabia nada de él, solamente una foto de él al lado de su madre y ya, eso era todo.
Mientras estaba en uno de sus entrenamientos alguien la habia hecho enojar haciendo que su poder se descontrolará y ternminó lesionando a uno de sus compañeros haciendo que todos le temieran, después de todo era la hija de La Bruja Escarlata y todos sabian que Kendall era más explosiva que su madre.
La habian mandado a una clase de entrenamiento extra para que controle sus poderes, usualmente esas sesiones eran solo para ella ya que era quien más se descontrolaba pero al llegar al cuarto simulador observa que hay otra persona y justamente tenía que ser Aella Kent. - Hoy no estoy para aguantarte, solo quiero terminar esta mierda de entrenamiento e irme. - Tal vez ella era de las pocas personas que soportarían un descontrol de sus poderes, muy por dentro agradecía tenerla cerca, pero jamás lo diría en voz alta.

Summary: When Aella Wayne’s National City boarding school got destroyed during one of Supergirl’s epic battles, she knew that she would have to go back to Gotham for the first time since she was thirteen.  It would mean leaving behind her beloved internship at CatCo, unfortunately, but she’d barely seen her dad since she started school so she was still looking forward to that.  Of course, when she gets home, nothing is as she remembers. There’s a bat themed vigilante with a neon sidekick, her dad has all but adopted a boy her age, and she seems to be the only person to realize that Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake are Batman and Robin.

Summary: Annika Webster loves Central City, she really did. But at eighteen and fresh out of high school, she needed something different. Something new.  So she grabbed her passport and her camera, and hopped on the next flight to London .  Annika spent the next several years travelling the world and making a name for herself as a photographer and travel journalist, and by 25, she was ready to think about settling down.  So when the next invite rolled in, from Harrison Wells himself, asking her to come to Central City to photograph the grand reveal of his particle accelerator, she’s all too happy to hop on the next plane home.  It was supposed to be just another gig, something she’d done a million times. It wasn’t supposed to end with her waking up from a coma nine months later, laying in a hospital bed next to her once best friend, Barry Allen.

Love Interest: James Bishop; Oliver Queen
Summary: Yvette Knight was the epic love of Oliver Queen’s life.  As the daughter of a French heiress and an American media mogul, their families had always had close ties, and the two had been raised side by side. Best friends since infancy, childhood puppy love turned high school sweethearts, everyone expected them to be engaged as soon as they finished college.  It never happened.  Instead, when Ivy returned to America after four years at Oxford, she came back with James Bishop on her arm, and his ring on her finger, and to Oliver Queen in bed with Laurel Lance.  Heartbroken by his ex-girlfriend’s engagement, Oliver was quick to agree to join his father on the Gambit to go to China.  To his death.
Five years later, Oliver Queen is back from the dead, and he hardly recognizes the world he’s returned to.  The one thing he does recognize?  The family’s publicist, the woman who held his family together through his death and now his resurrection, none other than Ivy Knight herself.  Still engaged and still unmarried, a bit older and sadder than she used to be, she’s a dead man’s dream come true.   And Oliver can’t pretend that he’s any less in love with her than he’d ever been.

Summary: Kelsey Doyle wouldn’t necessarily call her life boring – her job at the CCPD made sure of it – but it was ordinary.  Wake up, drink too much coffee, go to work, drink too much coffee, work late, drink too much coffee, go home, and repeat.  The only thing that kept her from losing her mind was her best friend and co-worker, Barry Allen.  It was just another normal day when Barry got back from Starling City, ready to drag she and Iris to STAR Labs to see their new particle accelerator.   It was less normal when she and Barry watched the accelerator go haywire on TV, and even less normal when she got hit by lightning.  And it was anything but normal when Kelsey Doyle died.

Love Interest: Barry Allen
Summary: When Mia Queen was twelve, her father and brother were lost at least.  Weeks before she turns eighteen, her brother is found alive, and returns home.  Only, nothing is as he remembered.  Moira is distant, married to their father’s CFO and having clandestine meetings with Malcolm Merlyn.  Thea has gone wild, relying on alcohol and drugs to numb the pain of losing Robert and Oliver, shoplifting just to feel something.  And Mia… Mia has gone wild in her own way, sneaking out to the Glades to see her secret boyfriend, getting into fights wherever she could find them, breaking rules just to see if anyone would care enough to stop her.
But with Oliver’s miraculous return, all eyes are on the Queen family.  Between prying reporters and a concerned older brother, a lot of secrets risk being brought to light — secrets that some in the city would kill to keep hidden.

Love Interest: Parker Allen
Summary: Although they hadn’t lived together since Nora Allen died, the Allen siblings were still as thick as thieves.  From the moment he was old enough, Barry had been taking Parker out every Saturday for sibling bonding, and was as regular a fixture at Altman movie nights as Parker was at West movie nights.  Neither the Altmans nor the Wests had been able to take in both children, instead keeping the best friends — Parker and Noah, and Barry and Iris — together, but the four had formed their own little family back before Barry and Iris had even graduated high school.  So Barry taking Parker and Noah to see the grand reveal of the particle accelerator really shouldn’t have been a big deal.  It was, for all intents and purposes, just another normal night.  Until Parker opens her eyes several months later to find out that her brother and best friend are both still in the same unnatural coma that she just woke up from.

Summary: Ophelia Wayne never really knew her parents.  She’d been in boarding school when her parents died, when she was only thirteen years old.  She’d been there since she was five, an uptight finishing school for “the finest young heiresses”, and only home for the summers, but the tragedy allows Alfred to finally bring her home.  Seeing her brother suffer the trauma from the event, Ophelia swears to herself that one day she’ll avenge them.  They hurt her baby brother, they gave him nightmares, so she would be theirs.  Sometimes a family is a traumatized child, an unflappable butler, a detective, and a big sister turned vigilante, and all of Gotham had better watch out.
