❖ LI’L SCREAMY BIRD 『 @legacyscreamed. 』
“… I know.” Olivia knows better than ANYONE how true that is. Her mom was strong, stronger than anyone, and she WOULD’VE taken him out if it wasn’t for Sinestro throwing a Fear ring in the mix. Nothing could erase the horror of watching Superman murder her mom on live TV, not even Dr.Fate bringing her back. (It’s why she ran in the first place.)
“What else am I SUPPOSED to do? They already got me once and after what i did, I-” It doesn’t matter that it was life or death, self-defence, an ACCIDENT, Superman doesn’t believe in forgiveness anymore and if he was pissed at her before, she doesn’t want to imagine what he’s like now. (No doubt Wonder Woman’s stoked the fire of his anger for her lost sisters, as if they weren’t tasked with murdering a child.)
“I don’t wanna be SCARED anymore, i wanna be USEFUL.”
MOM FEELINGS ENGAGED. Harley should have been the last person to encourage any actions from Olivia , having PUSHED Lucy so far away before but now she considered both of them as her DAUGHTERS. Hoped to make every decision for Olivia with her PARENTS in mind. She was born to be a hero , but Batman seemed to have a habit of using KIDS and Harley was against that too. It was confusing but she knew that Oliver and Dinah wouldn't want their daughter to die on the BATTLEFRONT like they had even if she couldn't STOP Olivia from wanting to FIGHT. She bit her lip unsure of what she was going to say but somehow , eventually , the words seemed to topple from her mouth.
❝ It took me FIVE YEARS to figure out what I was gonna do after Supes took him from me and even then I fell back into a HORRIBLE TRAP. You can go forwards and fall backwards and always have his rule over your head. But if you do that , he's WON you. No matter how often I think about ripping that man's face off I know I won't because BATMAN taught me to be better than him. I never lost like you did and let's face it in the ❛ grand scheme ❜ of things Joker wasn't much a loss to the world either and people were MAD that I was hurting. But people EVOLVE and move on. That's a hard statement to take and I know RIGHT NOW that isn't enough. ❞ Next was a proposal not even Harley had CONSIDERED until she gave it to Olivia.
❝ You CANNOT let Lucy know that I've agreed to this. Given her family , because of ME and... Her father she'll always be seen as UNRELIABLE and a potential threat REGARDLESS of the person I try to be now for the BOTH of you. But I know your parents , and I know that you want to go out and FIGHT because it is almost literally in your BLOODLINE. You're a QUEEN and they have more honor than can ever be explained. I cant tell you NOT to go out there , but I promise you that if you do you will NOT BE ALONE. If you're still out here on these STREETS then please at least come back with me. We can talk tactic , PRACTICE. I know carrying a bow round isn't easy. I tried when I was locked in the ARROWCAVE. I renamed the QUIVER. But think about the roof over your head , please Liv. There's a spare KEY in the PLANT POT just by my doorstep if you need it. ❞
