honey rn im thinkin ab how frank met the daughterwives. and also who came first. howād she react when she met her other sisters? or were they obtained all at the same time? much 2 think about
i looked through the daughterwives tags because i thought i talked about this at some point, but i couldnāt find anything about it.
i think frank acquired blossom first. i feel like blossom worked at the local library and frank went in because he needed to do some research. blossom helped him get a library card under his pseudonym, and he just kept coming back to see her. sheād always have bruises all over her arms and legs, and when frank finally asked her about them, she shut down and started hyperventilating. he pulled her on his lap and she was mumbling ādadadadaā¦ā anyway, come to find out, blossomās parents died when she was young n she put herself through college, loves to read and would escape into fictional worlds, but somehow got sucked into a very toxic relationship. so frank does what frank knows and takes her home.
i wanna say bubbles came next, and part of the reason bubbles came into the picture is because he saved her during one of his patrols, n she was clinging to him despite the fact he was covered in blood and guts. he knew blossom would be a good big sister, even if it takes some adjusting, so he brought bubbles home and she naturally fell into the role of daughter gf. it takes frank a really long time to get the truth from bubblesā why she was being targeted, what they did to her before he was able to find her, and her backstory. i wanna say that there are still a ton of missing puzzle pieces but frank is patient and will get the all the information when bubbles is ready.
buttercup was a relentless reporter who worked with karen, and she was determined to run an op-ed on frank. she was so annoying, constantly trying to get quotes from him, showing up to crime scenes she knew heād be at, and she lowkey drove him crazy. at a certain point, frank snaps and turns all the questions around on buttercup. she ends up shaking and tearing up under his gaze and he realizes that despite what a nuisance she is, sheās putting on this tough girl act and she is Not a tough girl. he feels bad, tells her heāll give her the inside scoop on all the crime scenes she reports on, BUT she has to name him as an unidentified source. it turns into weekly meetings with buttercup, and frank finds out the real reason sheās so obsessed with him specifically (there are many vigilantes in nyc and she chose him) is because he looks like her dead father <3
