    Summary

    Annette Hebert has a secret. Fifteen years ago she buried a white costume in a lead-lined box, walked away from the name Power Girl, and swore she'd never fly again. She made that promise to a dead husband, kept it through twenty-three Endbringer attacks, and channeled the worst of her frustration into red-penning undergraduate essays and arguing with her daughter about milk.

    Then Taylor developed powers.

    Then the Endbringer sirens went off.

    Now Annette is standing in low Earth orbit holding half an Endbringer, her daughter is holding the other half, and the promise she made to Danny is in pieces alongside the monster.

    A story about a Kryptonian woman who tried to be ordinary and her half-Kryptonian daughter who never wanted to be. About fighting gods in leotards and fighting over the grocery list in pajamas. About the difference between the mask and the person wearing it, and what happens when you stop pretending those are two separate things.

    The world has Supergirl now. It's getting Power Girl back whether it likes it or not.

    Brockton Bay will never be the same. The milk will still be wrong.

    Summary

    Taylor's first night out goes horrifically wrong. After an accident, she winds up with fourteen voices in her head, marking her as Butcher XV. This certainly complicates her planned heroic career, but sometimes you have to take refuge in audacity.

    This is a slight AU where the Teeth returned to the Bay in summer of 2010, causing mayhem and havoc as they set up shop. Taylor's life didn't change too much from these events, even if the junior Teeth were slightly more agreeable at school than the Merchants had been. Then again, they still didn't lift a finger to help her when she was shoved into the locker. Her first night out happens a bit earlier than canon, causing a few interesting butterflies.

    Summary

    Different circumstances cause Taylor to gain different powers and left her blinded in the aftermath. Now she must learn to be independent, both as a blind person in her civilian life and as an 'independent hero' in her cape life. As if that wasn't difficult enough, a cluster of new villains have appeared, with grab-bag powers that seem suspiciously correlated with her own.
