This story is going to be slow in updates, but I will finish it as it is a gift to my sister. This chapter is just a short background on the villain and what lead to her actions.
Warning: This is an OC centered story, so if you hate that kind of thing... This probably isn't the story for you.
Disclaimer: I don't even own the storyline because it was based off of my sisters dream she had when she was sick.

Gotham. Filled to the brim with criminal low life.
Now gotham may not always have had psychopaths like The Joker, but it still had more than a fair share of what most people consider supervillains. One such villain had more than a bone to pick with the members of Gotham's finest.
Deila Stroad was an aspiring young business woman with hopes of making it big in the city she'd called home her whole life. But sadly for Deila fortune is a chooser, picking few then keeping it in the family. Passing its luck down through the generations, rarely sharing with the hard working.
Born a Stroad was like drawing the short straw in life. Her father Jeffrey Stroad had certainly made a name for himself. Unfortunately for the rest of the family it was not one to be proud of. Jeffrey was a gambler and a borrowing one at that. Never bothering to use his own money when he could use his neighbors then pay them back "later" with the knowledge that later would never come. Of course this meant that little money could be spent on necessities at the Stroad household, much less a few nice dresses and a proper education.
There was one thing that had been bestowed on Deila was knowledge. Miss Delia Stroad was smart, practically a genius. She was able to get a scholarship for college by her grades alone. She felt like she was finally going places.
Of course reality was relentless.
Everywhere she went, everyone she spoke to for a job opportunity went and tossed her father's actions in her face. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." How she hated those words. That kind of treatment can turn a person cold as ice and make them do things they might regret later.
Deila hated every one of the companies that turned her down. She hated coming in practically begging for a job. She was normally calm, sweet yet determined girl. Slowly the calm was tinted with rage and her sweet nature was turned stoney. Her determination was now fueled by revenge.
She would make them pay! Every. Single. One of them.
And since she was labeled by her father's actions and suffered from them, then so would their children.
Gotham wouldn't know what they unleashed with the poor treatment of this one girl until years after the deed was done.
