Prologue

« What should I do Zee, I can't stay here anymore it's not safe for the kid; my kid, Wally's kid. » Damn you Wallace west for leaving me in this situation, if you were here it would be fine but I don't want to raise her alone. I don't trust myself to keep her safe.

"Artemis, she's not even born yet, stay here until she's born, he won't find you here, the team will protect you or maybe you could ask Jade for help she might help protect you."

"Jade won't be able to do much if my dad ever sends the whole league of shadows after me, she'd run ahead because, I'd slow her down." I say wrapping my arms around my legs, I wasn't very big even though I was six months along. I couldn't do this alone. The thing growing inside of me was so small, so innocent, I already love her. I was scared of her, she was a blank slate, and she'd seen none of the things I'd seen, thank God I wouldn't have wanted her to.

"Artemis, you can't go on missions, you can't really defend yourself," I glared at her when she said that, "I mean whilst you're pregnant dumbass, and you don't want to tell anyone, because although you won't admit this, you're scared of accepting help because, you think it will make you weak."

"Do not do all psychologist on me Zee."

"Artemis, be honest with me, what exactly is your plan?"

"Find somewhere nobody knows who I am and pray that she doesn't inherit Wally's powers."

"That's your plan?" she says to me incredulously

"Yes, I mean I got to sort out a few kinks, but that is most of my plan."

"So what happens if she does have powers?"

"She'll have to learn to control them."

"How will you teach her that? Look Artemis, you're you and you're extremely stubborn, so reasoning with you will be a little hard." She takes a deep breath and sighs, "I'm going to regret this, I have a country that you can go to."

"Where?"

"It's a small one that barely anyone knows exists, its name is Adornovica, and it's up in the Alps. It's beautiful and quiet, their native language is French. The people there are some of the smartest in the world but they have a lot of jobs over there and they want immigrants to apply."

"Sounds perfect where do I sign up."

"They only problem with their country is that its systems are strange, you get privileges based on certain things, and you can possibly be allowed to drive at 14, if you do well on a random test distributed throughout school, and they do this to encourage good study habits. As a teenager you get privileges to do all the things you are allowed to do when you reach 21 here, depending on how well you do things. Now on to the royal family they walk around as equals, they go to the same school as everybody and no special treatment if they are under 17 because it's to make them an even headed person. In theory until they take their title they are treated like everyone else."

"When did you swallow an entire Wikipedia page? Zee, this country sounds kind of strange, how safe is it?"

"It's safest countries in the world. They have an amazing Special Forces group called the falcons they keep everyone safe."

"How do you know all this stuff?"

"I know some magic users from there." She says nonchalantly.

"Zee I don't know, sounds kinda elitist." I say unsurely.

"Just go Artemis, if you don't like it you can always come back. If you feel like this is what you need to do, do it. I'll miss you but this is your choice."

I sigh, I know I don't need to think about this it's a fresh start, Wally's dead and I have to get over that, moving away will be the best thing to do, I can't exactly burry myself in the mask of tigress anymore even my armour wasn't hiding my bump it was small for six months along but just big enough for it to be seen but not big enough for me to not be able to see my feet it just looked like I was fat and I hated it.

"When do I leave?" I say and with that resigned sigh I left my old life behind me and headed into my new one.

Four years later…

My daughter. She was vibrant and as much as I hated to admit it. Our fresh start in Adornovica was just what we needed. Blair had flourished and was well rounded; or as well rounded as any four year old could get.

She had Wally's hair or rather Iris' slightly darker red shade it went a blonder ginger colour in the summer, it was a mess of beachy waves, when Artemis could catch her daughter to brush her hair. Thankfully she hadn't been born with Wally's powers, she was just quick off the mark when it came to anything and reminded her of Robin the little red head was constantly clambering up pipes making her way to the roof or sneaking out of my field of vision.

"Blair!" I call out. Damn it, did she have to take after Jade.

"Blair!" I call out again, I had a class to teach in 10 minutes and my daughter needed to go to school, that was if I could find her.

"Blair, if you come out I will give you ice cream."

"Et chocolat?" she asks

"Oui."

"Merci maman, oh et Alaric peut avoir une trop. » « Oui." I say seeing no point in arguing with the fiery four year old. I think she was actually more stubborn than Wally and I put together.

Oh heaven help me in her teenage years.

Four more years later…

"Blair be careful, actually just get down from there!" I call to my daughter who decided its okay to hang off the roof of our little house, she was proving a point to Nik, Alaric, Kent and Lacy. "Kids, how do you put up with her?"

The brown haired eight year old shrugged, what eight year old shrugs?

"Alright Alaric, this country's going to get even weirder with you running it."

"Oui. et Lacy sera ma reine." At eight years old apparently knew who he was going to marry. Ah young love, before all the awkward phases in the teenage years, although I don't think that happens as much in Adornovica. "You need any help Ms Worra? It appears Blair the monkey has struck again, want me to get the trampoline." "That would be greatly appreciated Mr Pekaliki, thank you" With great effort we grab the trampoline from my neighbour across the roads house. "Alright Blair, you gotta jump on the trampoline, you know the drill by now.2 "Wheeee!" Says the crazy red head as she jumps off the room. I really can't believe how crazy my life is, dear God Wally, please somebody help me when she reaches the teenage years.
