3rd person POV
"Well hello stage 3" the queen of mean says.
Everyone just stares at her confused at what was going on.
"Now what" Kim asks.
"Get our Marinette back that's" Chloe replies.
- inside the mind -
"Uncle Jack, uncle Edward (Riddler), Auntie Selene, flashy, auntie Ivy, Auntie Harley, auntie wonder, jony, ray-ray, Timmy, dick, Bruce, Jay-jay and Dami, what are there doing here" Marinette asks.
"They here to save" the Queen of mean says.
"Take a sit and get comfy you going to be here for quite a while"she says snapping her figures making bean bags appear.
They all reluctantly take a seat.
"No they here to take me down"she says"I guess it's true no one loves me"
'time for stage 3 boasting your self-confidence'
- outside world -
"Ha your finally here" she snarls "she's too weak to burst through the barrier, she feels unloved by all, they broke her"
"Unloved what do you mean unloved"Chloe shouts.
"I mean we're all here to help her"flash says.
"She thinks your here to take her down"she laughed"just try to convince her otherwise. They broke she feels weak and unwanted"
"Unwanted, honey you managed to us we love you honey" Harley says.
"Mari if you can hear me you are not unwanted you are loved more than you think Angel" Damian says.
- inside -
"He doesn't mean it" Mari says "his just saying it to get me out of this state"
- outside -
"She says you don't mean it"
"Great now what" Tim asks.
"We remind her why we love her" Dick says.
"How" the flash asks.
"We do a few flash backs" Jason says.
Marinette's POV
"Okay me first" I hear auntie Ivy say, I am all muddled up so I sing to try and make myself feel a little better.
Hello, it's me
"Remember how we meet"she says.
I decided to visit the gardens. Yeah was looking for inspiration. After a few sketches I come across a flower with a broken stem.
"Poor thing"I say fixing it's stem "there all better"
I had recently found out that I have a connection to plants. One of the side effects of the miraculous.
"How did you do that" a voice comes from behind me.
"Some things are just best kept secret" I reply with a smile.
"Oh aren't you Gotham's little ray of sunshine"she says "what's your name"
"Marinette"I say
"Well I'm going to call you Mari-gold and you can call me Aunt Ivy" she says.
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing
"My turn"the Riddler "remember how you vested about 10 of the riddles I gave you"
"Riddle me this, riddle me that young girl answer my riddles or die"the Riddler says.

"Fine challenge excepted" I answers not even flinching.
"What flows like water but seems as still as a rock, what can't fly or hold still, but can heal any wound"he asks.
"Time"I say not even thinking about it.
"Lucky guess but they's more where that came from" he says.
The interaction continues with Marinette answering every question as if it was first grade work.
"Okay last one, this one is a bit hard"the Riddler says.
"Bring it" I smirk.
"I am something people love or hate. I change peoples appearance and thoughts. To some I will fool them. To others I'm a mystery. Some people might want to try to hide me but I will show. No matter how hard people try I will never go down. What am I ?"
"Age" I answer easily.
"Hmm I like you and you just you can call me uncle Edward what do I call you" he wispers.
"Marinette"
"Hmm I think sunny fits better"
Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
"Now for us" Harley and Selene say at the same time.
"Are you sure about this Ivy" Harley asks.
Ivy had invited them to meet Mari-gold at the gardens.
"Of course, she an angel I'm telling you"she says.
"Hey auntie Ivy" Marinette says enthusiastically.
"Hey sweetie I want you to meet auntie Harley and Selene" she says.
"Hey" she says.
"Aren't you scared of us" Selene asks.
"Nope"
"But we're villains"Harley says.
"Ex villains"Mari corrects.
"Okay it's official, we like her" thy say at the same time.
[Pre-Chorus]
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles
"Okay guess it's my turn"flash sighs making a few snicker.
"Are you kidding me landing a punch on the flash is not impossible"Mari says after beating Garfield (beast boy) in UMS 3.
"I'm telling you dude, no one's been able to do it so far, not even Damian"
"Well I bet I can"
"Challenge excepted"he says"yoh flash"
"Somebody called"he says running in "yoh whose the chick"
"He just called me a chick as of I lay eggs, now I won't regret punching him"
"He he he" beast boy laughs "this is Mari and she thinks she can land a punch on you"
"Oh challenge excepted blue"he says.
"Blue"she asks.
"It's suit's you, now give me your best shot"he says.
Mari aims a punch making him move to the left only to be punched so hard he flys across the room.
"Hmm predictable"Mari says.
"Wow that was of the charts"beast boy shouts.
"Told you it wasn't impossible" she says smirking.
"Okay I admit defeat" he says running towards us.
[Chorus]
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times

To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home
"Me next"the joker says.
"Ha ha ha" joker laughs "my hanch man, get me a few prisoners"
They obey as one of them grabs a screaming young girl a voice shouts.
"Unhand her"
"Excuse me"the hench man asks.
"Unhand her before I flip you over"she says.
"Little girl you don't know who you messing with" he says.
"No you don't know who you messing with"she says flipping him over.
"If it isn't Gotham's Angel, our very own ray of sunshine" the joker says.
"Joker you should be ashamed scaring a little girl like that, you've probably scared her for life" she says hugging a crying girl.
"Hmm you really are an angel" he says"okay these people shall leave thanks to you"
"What did I do" she asks.
"You were your angelic self, you can call me uncle Jack little one and I'll call you lucky star and no harm shall come to you"
Hello from the outside
At least, I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
"Okay my turn" Jon says.
"Oh who's this" Jon asks.
"That's Marinette Jason's sister, Marinette this is Kent"Damian says.
"I'm Jon not Kent, I'm Damian's best friend" Jon says.
"Hey I didn't know the ice prince had a best friend"
"Tt His not my best friend don't believe everything you hear angel"
"Sounds like denial, just admit it you have a heart"
"She called you ice prince and you didn't kill her! Angel? Okay I like this girl she's good for you, can't wait till you get married"
"Kent!"Damian shouts taking out his katana.
"Dami calm down and put down the katana"Marinette says.
"Fine"Damian says.
"Scratch that I love her, of you don't propose I will"Jon says jumping around.
"Now can I kill him"
"No I like him and have officially adopted him, his my child now to pure and happy for the world"
[Verse 2]
Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
[Pre-Chorus]
It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time
"Now it's me" Raven says.
"Yoh ray I'll like you to meet the sunshine of Gotham, Marinette" beast introduces me.
"Hey do you like meditating" Raven asks.
"Yes actually it's helps me get my emotions in check" she replies.
"Really how about reading"she asks.
"Yeah it helps me run away from this world filled with worries and despair" she says.
"Hmm I hear what your saying"Rachel (Raven) says.
"Oh and Ray"I call.
"Yeah"she asks.
"Don't be afraid to share and express your emotions"I say making her smile.
"Okay I like you sunshine"
[Chorus]

Chloe's POV
"She says she's sorry" the queen of mean says.
"Sorry" Jason asks.
"Yeah she's been singing about the wall dividing y'all and how sorry she is for not being able to take it down"
"Singing" I ask.
"Yeah it all she does. I think it helps her calm down. I think snake boy over there is rubbing off her"
"She's singing you say" Damian says thinking.
"Yeah"
"That makes so much sense"
"What do you mean" I ask.
"In Gotham, whenever she is upset she comes over and sings. She's told me it's the best way to express her emotions"Damian says.
"Wow melody and you never told me you wrote songs" Luka says.
"I think I know what to do"

8 160The Saga of Geir Røshjert
"His name will never be sung, son. Skalds and bards like me will never tell his stories to the mass. But only us and us alone will keep telling his story, his actions, his saga. For he is the man who started all of this." This is a story no man in Lumenter will ever hear, no man except for an Arnesen, for his stories are dull and generic to the ears of the masses, except for us, because he is the very reason why our people traveled this far east, why kingdoms in Erisgi fell and rose, why I... even existed in the first place. He is Geir, son of Arne, called 'the Stranger' by the people. But what he truly is, is a fiery red heart that beats inside every Eyklandian, Arnesen, and me.

That’s why the UN has its full focus on “The Humanity Initiative”. The field of genetics shows promising results, but are years from ready. If bombs were to fly tomorrow, something must survive. Recent VR technology has a potential candidate for that something.Farah Al Farzha never plays online, she loathes the very idea of it. She is in love with reality, and competitive fencing is her way to prove it. But when she reluctantly went online, she couldn’t exit, or at least a copy of her consciousness couldn’t.Human, but juridically speaking no more, Farah struggles in a game that would’ve been illegal. To her only consolation, the game is modeled after reality, a place foreign to the gaming brats around her. But what demands do the UN put on potential ‘human’ survivor candidates, and how will natural selection be replaced, when reality is no more? _______________________________________________________________________
