After the invasion involving the Reach and Earth is safe from chaos, everything went back to normal except for what happened when Artemis went undercover, faking her death and changing her identity to Tigress a hired assassin. Ever since her death being staged and having been undercover for twelve months she has been forgetting who she is and what she looks like. The only thing Artemis has left herself is the reflection she sees in the mirror.
Two years later after invasion she visits the grave site to see the names Paula Nguyen-Crock and Artemis Lian Crock as she puts a rose near the two tombstones knowing that she can't be Artemis anymore. She leaves with tears on her eyes.
Tigress returns to her empty house where she uses to live. As Tigress looks around she sees a mirror of her sadden by this, Tigress grabs the mirror and slams the mirror to the floor breaking it to a million pieces. Suddenly, someone blast ice on the side of the wall and she sees the reflecting of herself the same reflection of Artemis. She has an angry look on her face; she sees a shadow figure standing there. Tigress takes her crossbow and points at the figure and say:
Tigress: Whoever you are show yourself.
Tigress points the crossbow.
Tigress: I asked you a question. Who are you?
The shadow figure steps forwards and says:
Icicle: It's me Artemis.
Icicle steps forward and Tigress is face to face with her old friend.
Tigress: I don't know who you are but this Artemis you are talking about it is dead.
Icicle: I'm not stupid I see reflecting and it is you and I don't care. It doesn't bother that you changed you appearance you are still Artemis to me.
Tigress with a sad look saying:
Tigress: (Sighs) I appreciate you saying that, but why are you here?
Icicle: I have been watching you for two years struggling to survive on your own. I can't let you suffer anymore.
Tigress: Suffer. You have no idea how bad I have suffered. Nightwing asking me to do mission for him, faking my death so I can go undercover for Kaldur, changing my name to Tigress, my mother passes away because of a broken heart.
Icicle: Okay, okay I get it you suffered really badly, but you don't have to be alone anymore.
Tigress: What do you mean by that?
Icicle: I've joined a group of people. The only thing they are super villains and we have been for stealing.
Tigress: Stealing. Are you serious? What have you and your so called group stole?
Icicle: Cash.
Tigress: You are asking me to join a group of people who steal money?
Icicle: You said it like it's a bad thing.
Tigress: Gee you think.
Icicle: So what's better joining the group or spending the rest of your life struggling everyday all alone.
Tigress: Since you put that way, I guess I can take your offer. I mean you're the only friend I got left. I don't have anyone I'm all alone.
Tigress has decided to take Icicle's offer in going with him to join the group he is part of. Tigress looks around the house one last time before especially the ice mirror with the reflection of her old self.
Tigress: Okay Cam let's go.
Icicle: Um you should know that I don't call myself Cameron anymore.
Tigress: You know I honestly forgot about that.
Tigress and Icicle left the house as she left with a sad look on her face as she looks back at the house.
End of Chapter 1.
