intro...
REMIEL CHEN ISN'T a hero. She's the furthest thing from it. The adopted daughter of Seraphina al Ghul, Remiel grew up as Mei, a deadly piece of the puzzle that completed the League of Assassins. With her innate ability to manipulate qi, she's a force to be reckoned with. Being an assassin was all she was. Her past was a complete mystery—neither Remiel nor Chen were even her real name, and her heritage was a big question mark with no answer. A question she didn't want answers to.
Once upon a time, she'd been allowed to be something else. She'd had the opportunity right in front of her, dangling like a carrot on a stick, but instead of grabbing it and making something of her life, she'd buried her knife in Dick Grayson's guts, turned her back to his cries of betrayal even though her heart bled the same way his did, and returned to what was easy. What was familiar.
Six years later, she finds herself back in Gotham.
The League of Assassins is in trouble. Ra's is dead, Talia and Seraphina are missing, and the last thing she's told is that Damian's been sent off to his biological father, and her once-upon mentor, Bruce Wayne. The Batman. And though she'd rather not see the betrayal and hurt in their eyes, she has no choice. Deathstroke has a list and her name was next, so she flees back to the manor she once turned her back on.
They welcome her. With suspicion, wariness and hurt. It was never quite nice looking at the people you once harmed so irreparably. Especially not when one of them was your first love. But she didn't have another option. It was this, or death.
She could deal with Dick Grayson and his cocktail mix of feelings towards her. And she was certain, absolutely certain, that she would not fall again for the boy with too-pretty blue eyes and devilish charm.
