Pamela Isley returns to Arkham Asylum after her young-adult daughter (Y/N) refuses to play a part in Poison Ivy's schemes. With the chance to finally take her life into her own hands, (Y/N) seeks help from Batman, who places her across the country in the trusted care of Oliver Queen. Bypassing the reluctance of his hotheaded protégé Roy Harper, (Y/N) is given her own alias and welcomed into their group with less-than-open arms.
Under Green Arrow's tutelage, (Y/N) trains hard and seeks to impress her mentors by proving she's capable of success despite lacking metahuman genes. However, difficulty conforming to a vigilante lifestyle has the Justice League breathing down her neck. She also faces a forced partnership and onslaught of hatred from Roy, who refuses to trust (Y/N) because of her familial ties. As if to make things worse, a new group of supervillain metahumans arises in Star City and threatens to terrorize the country. Their presence births a danger Team Arrow has to way of preparing for, though they seem to be the only ones who can stop it.
Numerous events begin overwhelming (Y/N) until her life suddenly changes again--and she doesn't know whether or not it's for the better. She must find a way to convince everyone her true identity poses no threat and that she's capable of more than living in Ivy's shadow. Amidst all else, (Y/N) struggles to handle an unexpected love square she's been dragged into by her tsundere partner, an old friend with drool-worthy looks and personality, and a smitten psychopath.

"No don't..." But her arms go up and the mesmerizing portals appear. Through the portal closest to them, the boys can see grass and park benches where concrete and pavement should be. She jumps through and as she does, the portal in front of them collapses. Off in the distance, where the park is, Tim can see her running away, dark hair flying in the wind.
"Real smooth Drake." Damian says, striding towards me. "Should've asked for her number while you were at it."

"Phantom? That's the name you're going with?"
"It's a hell of a lot cooler than Robin." She snaps back at him.
"Robin was not a name that I..." Tim grabs Damian by his cape as he marches toward her.
"Be nice to the guests Damian." Alfred says in a tired voice, interrupting Damian's rant.
"Bite me." He snarls at Ria.

Dabria Tran has lived in Gotham City her whole life. First as a nurtured, well looked after baby, then as an orphaned, forgotten child and now as a desperate, impulsive teenager. At the ripe age of eighteen, Ria is on the streets, fending for herself and dealing with powers she can barely control.
It is while on patrol that Tim Drake and Damian Wayne spot this camouflaged girl of the night and try to stop her as she breaks into a local convenience store, not to steal the cash but the food. After obsessively tracking her for a week, Tim finally catches up with her, finding her holed up in an abandoned building with another younger girl she is trying to care for.
Bruce Wayne doesn't hesitate to take them in, but Ria's mistrust of them leads to tension in the house. Her powers are dangerous, volatile and no matter how hard Tim tries, he can't get her to open up to him. As Ria's shadowed past slowly catches up with her, the Bat Family finally realizes that they have no idea what kind of forces they're dealing with.
