   Summary

   "Hey, it's Kotetsu, the member of Tiger and Bunny who eats his jelly beans in reverse rainbow order. What? Another new hero? She's actually kinda neat, and Bunny seems to have taken a real shining to her! She showed up just in time, too - a NEXT is killing people in the middle of the night, and us heroes have to stop them! Next time on Tiger and Bunny: It's Always Darkest Before The Dawn. Hey, I got that one right!"

   --

   Same town, new hero. An AU that diverges after The Rising, following the career of Stern Bild's newest hero as she navigates stardom, falls into an unexpected relationship, and comes to terms with things she convinced herself she's healed from.
