Mia remembered Anti-matter consuming her and seeing the darkness. So when she opened her eyes to see that she was in a room which was colored in green and had posters of few superheroes whom she had intimate knowledge of aligned on the wall. The bed was soft and on the bedside was a calendar which showed the date was 23rd August, 2007.
Suddenly, she had a strong headache and suddenly memories flew in the forefront of her brain which disoriented her a bit. After sometime her headache calmed down to know that the person whose body she is possessing is named Emilia Fray who is a high school student who went to Midtown High and currently living with her mother and twin sister. She also came to know that this person was also smart and had at least some martial arts practice. She was also a bit loner and only had two friends, Gwen Stacy and her crush, a nerdy goof Peter Parker. Today, was also her birthday.
She did not know what to do or where she was so she got up to at least act normal to make not anyone suspicious. She went to the bathroom to get fresh where she saw in the mirror that she had the same face and body structure as her previous body but she had orangish red hair which made her cringe a bit towards the bright color.
'I'll have to dye my hair back to blonde' , she thought.
She just washed herself and went down the loft to the dinning room where she knew Jocelyn, her new mother was preparing a birthday breakfast which contained her sister's favorite as she was Jocelyn's favorite being two minutes younger than her. She sat down at the table where the food was laid down and started to eat quietly. Jocelyn turned around just as Mia was about to put food in her mouth and screamed.
"What?", Mia asked still eating her food without missing any beat as if she did not jump scare her mother by silently approaching the table and eating her food.
"You scared me", Jocelyn replied with a hand on her heart to calm it down a bit. After that she wished Mia Happy Birthday. She gave her a kiss on the head and continued arranging the breakfast for Mia's twin whose name was Clary Fray when she came down to eat.
"Where is your sister?", asked Jocelyn to which Mia just shrugged in reply. Jocelyn shouted for Clary to come down to eat and sat down in front of Mia.
"So, what are you going to do today?", Jocelyn inquired after a few minutes of silently Mia eating and she was just enjoying staring at her daughter.
"Well, I am going to a salon first to change my hair color to blonde as this color is making me cringe, nowadays and maybe then go to the library", Mia replied.
She just nodded and then passed her a covered box which she took out from under the table. When Mia opened it, she saw the latest phone that her counterpart wanted. Mia thanked Jocelyn for the gift.
After finishing breakfast and grabbing her new phone, Mia went towards her room to change to something respectable as she was still wearing her pajamas. She just closed the door to her room and turned around, she nearly screamed as she saw Monitor also known as Mar Novu was standing in her room.
"What are you doing here, Monitor? And what happened to me? Why am I in this body and not dead?", Mia asked him after calming down a bit.
"I can explain as much as I have understanding to. Starting from the last question, when your father recreated the multiverse at the dawn of time, he knew that changing things in the timeline may affect you losing your own memory of the original timeline. He loved you too much for your soul to be replaced with a person that did not have the same experience as you. So, he chose to make a clean copy of your soul that went onto become Mia Queen in the future of Earth Prime of that multiverse. He then threw your soul in the vastness of a variety of multiverses to occupy a person. That's how you are here. Why you got your old memories right now I don't know but I have a theory that your brain was not developed enough to handle the memories your soul contained. Now for why I am here, well your father and mother asked me to give you some gifts for doing this and being thankful you were their daughter.", answered Monitor after which he snapped and there was a large trunk on her bed. The trunk looked identical to what her previous father, Oliver Queen, had when he was trapped in Lian Yu.
She gingerly opened it. There were many things in there but the thing that intrigued her more was a letter that was on the top. She slowly opened it with anxiety and curiosity wanting to know what her parents wrote for her. It read:
(A/N: In italics ,it is written by both. In bold italics,it is written by Oliver. In italics-underlined is written by Felicity.)
Mia,
If you are reading this letter then Monitor has given you the trunk and that means you have your memories back in whatever universe or world you are at present. We wanted to say that we were always proud of you and will always support you in whatever endeavour you take. We will always love you and be proud of you. Do whatever you want to do always do it with precision and do not be over reliant on any power you have. Now onto the things that are present in the trunk.
First, there are nearly a thousand high end arrows, quiver for nearly two hundred arrows and a collapsible bow that can change into a bo-staff. Second, there is a green arrow suit for you that you can take up the mantle if you think it is needed in place wherever you are. We are always proud of the way you took up the mantle after I died. Roy and Thea may have been taught by me but you were always the best to inherit my mantle. There is also a book about all the herbal treatments I used when I was stuck on the island which were better than the western medicine sometimes but not always. And the final gift from me is there is a suitcase with a billion dollars so you can live your life without any financial problems.
Sweetie, from me there is only one thing I want to give it to you is all my data and inventions which are stored in the laptop. All the inventions done by Smoak Technologies, Palmer Technologies, Star Labs and every other tech and scientific labs whose data I had access to or hacked, to my most dangerous x-axis bi-numeric algorithm or known as the Ultimate Parasite of computers. I know that is not much compared to what your father has given you but he had to make up for nearly 21 years, so its irrelevant.
Those are all the gifts for you present in the trunk. We want you to know that we love you and always support you. And one final thing stop holding back in your intelligence, people think that William is far more intelligent than you but we know that when you want you can outshine him even in his best days. So, enjoy your life and live it to your fullest.
Love You,
Oliver Queen Felicity Smoak-Queen.
Mia did not know what to feel as many emotions swirled within her. Monitor had already left, his work done. She was happy that her father gave her a new life so she can live. She was also sad that she won't be able to see them anymore. She also was grateful to them and she was going to live it to the fullest without holding back in anything she would do whether it be vigilante work or a normal mundane life.
After gathering herself, she changed into a grey t-shirt with black jeans and a dark green hooded jacket. She also wore a black canvas shoes. She took her wallet and new phone then walked out of the room and left the house shouting at her mother that she was leaving. Before she had left, she had made sure to hide the trunk in such a way that it won't be noticed by anyone as she suddenly owning a trunk will be suspicious.
She made her way to a nearby salon to get her blonde hair back. After, two hours of waiting and having her hair color changed, she went to a nearby public library, which was five blocks away from her house, to gather information about the world she was currently residing in. When she left the library, it was already evening and she had learned a lot about this world. She learned that this world was very different from the one she used to live in. First, there were many historical differences such as there being a super-soldier who fought in the world war. Many cities that she was familiar with were not present in this world. There were also no Wayne's or Queen's. It was also technologically a bit more advanced than the world she previously lived in with relation to the same time period of this world. It was a bit overwhelming to know that every person she knew was not present in this world.
As she was passing by an alley she heard noises of fighting from it, being a curious person she went inside. She saw a girl near the same age of her fighting nearly a two dozen people with a whip and a glowing sword. She was fighting well but I could see she was going to get overwhelmed as she didn't seem to have experience fighting multiple opponents at once. When the girl threw the whip around an attacker's neck, she brought him closer and impaled him with the sword which turned him into orange fiery dust killing him. The girl got distracted from her attackers by the disintegration of her enemy for which she paid for by a kick to her mid section. The lead attacker then snarled with her mouth opening like tentacles and went in for the kill. Mia didn't hesitate, she put up her hood and ran out of her hiding place.
Mia picked up the sword which was not glowing after it left the hand of the girl which lit up when she touched it. She wondered about the sword for a moment but put it out of her mind to help the girl. She ran forward and jumped above the girl and impaled the sword through the head of the attacker who disintegrated. She got the attention of everyone present in the alley.
"Run!", Mia ordered the girl who looked confused a bit but listened to her as she was hurting at the place where she was kicked. Mia took a standard sword fighting stance with her legs apart, her left leg bent forward, right leg extended backwards, left hand in a punching position near to the chest and the sword held in reverse grip in her right hand.
Isabelle Lightwood or known as Izzy to her family was not having a good day in the slightest. First she had a fight with her mother in the morning regarding her choice of dresses.
When she went out shopping, she didn't find a dress to her liking and while returning to the institute she was ambushed by a greater demon, who was possessing a mundane, and a bunch of shape-shifting low demons. She was lucky that at least she had taken her runes whip which is in the form of a snake bracelet and a seraph blade. She held her own for a few minutes but the minute she killed a first low-level demon, she got distracted from the disintegration of the demon which allowed her to be kicked in her mid section which throbbed with pain. She was thrown a few feet from where she was standing and the blade and whip slipped from her hand which slid a few feet away from her. She saw a demon coming towards to attack her and brought her hand in front of her face to protect herself. She expected pain and closed her eyes too but after a few seconds when she didn't feel any pain she opened her eyes to see a person standing in front of her with a seraph blade which she when looked back towards her own came to know that it was hers. She was ordered by the person to run but she was confused to see a shadowhunter as she knew there was no one following her. But knowing that she would be a liability with her pain, she ran away and hid behind the wall to see the fight from a distance.
Mia looked at the remaining 23 of the attackers. She analysed the situation like her father taught her. The demons were standing in a formation that allowed them to be flexible and stop any exit. Only one was standing at the back and he was exuding a dangerous aura that made her realise that he was the leader. She gripped the sword tighter in anticipation of the fight. Her blood flooded with adrenaline. As if on mark they ran at each other, Mia side-stepped a punch towards her face and sliced the blade through the back of the offender who disintegrated. She didn't even stop or hesitate and continued the assault. She just weaved through the attackers as her old fighting instincts came back to her.
Izzy was looking at the fight in awe. She had never seen a shadowhunter fight so gracefully and easily against a group of demons controlled by a greater demon even single-handedly too. She was killing the demons left and right with no hesitation. Within a few minutes she had killed all the low level demons without any scratch. Now she stood in front of the leader.
Mia was feeling exhilarating from the fight. She had killed all the attackers except for the leader. She looked at the leader with determination and ran forward to kill it. They both began to fight intensely. The demon was dodging her attacks and she was not giving him an inch to attack her. They continued this dance of attacking and dodging for a few minutes. Mia was getting tired as this body was not fit enough to fight at high intensity for such a long time but she didn't stop fighting as she knew it was life and death situation. The demon was also getting tired as the body he possessed would not be able to handle it for so long and his body may start to fail. The demon getting frustrated went in for a killing blow but Mia side-stepped the attack at the last second making him over reach himself. Mia took advantage of the situation and impaled him through the spine killing him. Mia took a few steps back to lean on the wall of a building. She then slid down to the pavement to take some rest and calm herself down.
Izzy looked at the scene and wanted to go towards the shadowhunter to thank her, knowing she was a girl now after looking at her body structure, but decided against it as the pain flared where she was kicked and left the area going back towards the Institute. She hoped to meet that person again sometime in the future.
Mia after calming down, got up from where she sat and decided to head home. She looked down at the sword thinking about where to hide it when the blade retracted back into the hilt. She eyed it a bit in surprise but then shrugged and put the hilt in her waistband and made her way to her home.
After having dinner with her mother as Clary was staying overnight at her best friend, Simon Lewis, house, she decided to broach the incident she had gone through a few hours ago.
"Mum, I would like to talk something important", she said to her mother.
"Of course dear, what is it?", Jocelyn asked her elder daughter as she sat next to her.
Mia recounted the encounter to her mother in a very vivid details from start to finish. She did not leave a single detail about the fight.
"What was all that mother and please tell me the truth? I have the proof it was all not a dream, so I would like to know the truth.", Mia said to her mother after finishing her tale and keeping the seraph blade on the table.
Jocelyn was of two minds now whether to tell her the truth or to hide it from her but looking at her face she knew she could not hide it any longer. So, she told her everything, from who were they, their history being half-human and half-angel, the history of hiding from the world because she pissed of a very bad man named Valentine Morgenstern, who was leader of a group of rogue shadowhunters named Circle, who wanted to kill all downworlders meaning the person with demon blood. She also told her what see did in order to protect both her and Clary from that world and wanting them to hear about it from her when they were at least 18 years old. She finished her explanation by giving her a stele, a tool used by shadowhunters to draw runes.
Mia just sat there processing it all a bit. To know that there is a hidden world containing all the myths she heard about and her being part of that world was a bit overwhelming. To not panic, she started to replay the conversation in her head and when she came to the part about Valentine she remembered seeing something in her mother's eyes, the eyes were full of emotions which she analysed a bit in her head to understand it had fear, longing, regret and above all love. She could not understand why she had all those emotions for the man she was hiding from. It took her a few minutes for to come to a realisation.
"You loved him ,didn't you?", said Mia softly after few minutes.
"What?! Whom are you talking about?", asked Jocelyn a bit guarded.
"Valentine and please don't lie to me", answered Mia to which Jocelyn sighed and nodded. She told her the truth that indeed she loved him and how he was passionate and a great leader of shadowhunter before he became insane and wanted to destroy all downworlders.
"He is also our father, isn't he?", asked Mia to which Jocelyn nodded. Mia sighed just knowing in one life she was the daughter of one of the greatest hero and in another she is of a villain. Mia asked if there is anything else she is hiding to which after sometime Jocelyn told her about her elder brother and how he had been experimented by Valentine with full demon blood. She also showed him the memory of him sucking the life out of a flower. She also told her that he may have died in the house fire set at Fairchild Mansion by Valentine.
Mia after listening all this decided to go to her room and think about it later. She also took the stele and seraph blade with her. She kept them in the trunk and changed into her pajamas to sleep. She thought how her life had changed before she drifted off to sleep.
