My child, you have come to me my son. For who now is your father if it is not me? I am the well spring, from which you flow. When I am gone, you will have never been. What would your world be, without me? My son.

I still didn't understand how Agrona had come by his knowledge of reincarnation, or how he had been able to search across worlds to find the Legacy and the two anchor points he needed to fully manifest her potential in this world - me and Nico. But, regardless of how he had made these discoveries, their implementation hadn't gone as he planned. I had been reincarnated on the wrong continent, in the wrong body, and he had been forced to look outside his domain for a vessel. Instead of being an anchor point entirely under his control, I became his enemy.
And though the actions of his own daughter, I was given the only power in this world potentially capable of standing up to both Agrona and Kezess.

Joker: You're saying we owe Batman's existence to you? That's killer!
Poison Ivy: So it's your fault Batman's always on our backs?!
"Look at the strength in your body... the desire in your heart! I gave you this! Such a waste."
