Cissie never wanted this. She never wanted to be a hero like her mother. She never wanted to put the suit on again. Most of all, Cissie never wanted to get her child, you, involved in any of it. But the world always finds a way, and desperate times call for desperate measures.

When Cissie gets word that you've been kidnapped, she doesn't hesitate to put on that stupid costume. She picks up the bow and quiver of arrows again, slinging them over her body. Cissie finds you in record time. But to you, this isn't your mother breaking into the warehouse to get you. This is Arrowette — the fearless hero you've only ever heard about in stories from your mom's friends.

The hug when she frees you, though, is all Cissie. The hug, the tears and the whispers are all your mother and nothing more. "I was so worried about you," she says, kissing your forehead. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"
