"Do you remember what they used to call my mother, Rogers?" Penny's voice is like she's talking about the weather but the harsh tone of her voice puts every reporter in the room on edge.

"Merchant of Death. Death's Mistress. They used to believe that my mother was Death reincarnated."

The brunette lets out a sharp laugh at the thought.

DUM-E
JARVIS
BUTTERFINGERS

A Goddess destined to be on Life's side.
Yet the Queen ruled the underworld with an iron fist.

Penny shrugged with the one shoulder that wasn't injured and asked, "Why shouldn't I carry on the family business?"
