Chapter 1: I Want You To Be Happy

Maya's house

Maya Gutierrez, AKA Crimson Viper, was looking at her photo of her, her husband, and her daughter, Lauren, who happens to see her mother with a sad look.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"I often wondered where your father is."

"I miss him."

"I know, sweetheart. We don't even know if he's dead or missing, and it's been two years. I mean, I was happy with him."

Maya was tearing up.

"I want you to be happy, mom."

"I know, dear. Where would I be able to find a good guy like him? I have a idea. Why don't we head to the beach?"

"Yeah. I'm sure you'll meet somebody there."

"Let's get some lunch and we'll head over there."
