I'm not really popular or well known in the crime driven gotham city. The only person that is close to me is my friend Greg Josly. He is 6'1 with dirty blond hair and dull green eyes. He always calls me felicity the fearless and I call him Greg the fearful.

when I was seventeen, my family and I were heading to my cousins wedding when we got into a car crash. the other car in the accident held Greg's father. I'm the only one still living from that car crash. My parents both died on impact and greg's dad and I were sent to emergency care. The only way to save me was to remove quite an important part of my brain, the amygdala. Yep, the part of the brain that plays a roll in the emotion fear.

Greg's father Richard came out with a broken leg. Him and his wife found out that I was in the other car and was the only other survivor. Because I was still under age they adopted me and paid for my surgery. Sadly Richard died two years later from a heart attack leaving Richard's wife Mary-Ann, Greg and me to survive in the worst place to live in.

Its been nine years since the crash and greg and I share an apartment in the center of Gotham, only sixteen miles away from Mary-Ann so we visit her often. Today I'm starting a new job at the local bar. Greg has been on my back about it being to dangerous and I might get hurt and how the bar is a hotspot for the rouges of the town.

So right now I was walking across the dimly lit streets to the bar nothing imperticular crossing my mind as I blankly guide my way to my new work. once I get there I am hit with the smell of vodka and beer hit my nose. I walk in a see quite a sight. people drunk, singing, fighting, drug dealing, and some already passed out. Well I hope this isnt just your average wednesday here. I walk up to the bar and see a man with greying brown hair and choclolate colored eyes. As im walking he looks up and stares me down. I stick out my hand and say "hi, my name is Felicity Virat and I'm your new bartender." He grabs my hand and shakes it. "My names Seth Greenwalsh. So your my new bartender. Well let me show you around."
