"Someone! P-Please! Help, I'm in labor-ah!" Betty Smith barges into a bar, owned by the south side serpents. She's 19 and in labor, she needs help, and who comes to her aid...Jughead Jones. Jughead takes Betty to the hospital and helps her through the birth of her daughter, Harper. Then, after she's born, Jughead offers to help Betty get back on her feet, she accepts, but little did she know that accepting would cause her great happiness and also great heartache. But as she always says, do what you gotta do, but do those rules apply when she has to keep a big secret from the man she loves?
AU in which Betty grew up with her abusive parents Alice and Hal cooper. Her brother and sister abandoned her. When she's 10 she decides to learn self defence, boxing and weapons training secretly to protect herself however she doesn't have the strength to stand up to her parents at such a young age.
When they die tragically a few years later Betty is taken by social services and moved from foster home to foster home many of which abused her or worse. At 15 she finally managed to find some relatives that were nice and were willing to take her in. The blossoms.
She meets new friends and old ones and a secret brother she knew nothing about, however no-one knows about her past except the fact that it was traumatising or the fact that she is badass that is the strongest person both physically and mentally and doesn't need protection.
Will all come to light when she is kidnapped the night of her initiation to become Serpent Queen? Will she survive or will those trying to get to Betty hurt the ones she loves so she sacrifices herself?
