CHARACTERS

Meet Gabriella, or Gabby, the adopted daughter of Wally and Dick Grayson. She has the ability to stop time for a certain period of time. I took inspiration from Tracer, from Overwatch. She's entertaining, funny, and gets along with almost everybody. Most of the time, she hangs out with Penelope and they act like sisters. Between her, AJ, and Regan, they are the prankster trio and see themselves as family (cousins).

Today, I felt like doing a bit of breaking of things so Regan is now the Troublemaker persona. I have been plotting and practicing to be more open with side characters or other main casts. Basically, I am doing better with letting my characters be more reactive and interact with most DC characters. Specifically the Krypton Family and Batfamily.

PLOT

To be honest, I didn't have a plot today. I felt like going wild today so I was all over the place. Basically, I, as Regan, was an apprentice of Catwoman. I learned well from her after my parents vanished from the historical event that ruined many people's lives. Millions were shock by the alien-like force that used it's power to take it's amazing heroes and close members.

Catwoman wasn't affected by the vanish but noticed that I was affected. Now an orphan, she took me under her wing. Gotham had grown gruesome and horrible, making what is left of the heroes to do whatever they can around the world. But I wasn't a hero.

I was the thief that stole from the rotten crooks and sharp-clawed feline that wasn't afraid to take a man to an early grave: Black Panther was the name. (I can hear it now! 'You stole the from Marvel!' Yes I did. Thanks for noticing!)

After learning much from my mentor and was able to venture on my own, the vanished returned to our lives. Imagine the shock I felt when my father and grandfather's faces were on the screen. Explaining that he and many millions returned.

I didn't know how to feel. I was only eight when they vanished and it's been ten years. I was eighteen now...

I've been receiving a lot of calls from AJ, Gabby, and Penelope — all who I was sure wanted a family reunion. But they didn't know what I do for a living. They don't know that I put a bullet to someone's head last night or beat the absolute sh*t out of someone's life because I was told to. I am a follower, weak, a cat that only does what he wants to survive.

I know I am a villain. That much is true. Heroes and Villains don't mix... even if it's family.
