2012 DCU Fic/Art Halloween Challenge Master List

This was written for bradygirl_12's Halloween Challenge, dcu_freeforall's Autumn Challenge and the prompt 'Beginnings' for the challenge community 100_women. I remain very attached to Selena's daughter Helena and have imagined a rather heroine-rich future for her to grow up in. The fic stands on the idea that Helena's super-exposure to the Cat, the Bat and Robin as a baby (she actually said "Baa-mun" when he was holding her for crying out loud) would have contributed to a child who grew up as a hero enthusiast, feeling a comforting connection to them even if she couldn't remember the source of those feelings.
