Hope Valentine, 18, lost her parents at six when a hero-villain battle devastated her neighborhood, leaving her to grow up in an underfunded orphanage. Years of broken promises and neglect turned her cynical toward heroes and institutions alike.

Meeting them years later gave her something she hadn't felt in a long time: hope.
