History: (Batman II #25) - Siblings Harper and Cullen Row lived with their abusive father Marcus Row. When the Riddler blacked out Gotham City after a terrorist attack Marcus told his children he was leaving them to themselves while he went to a bar with friends. Harper chided her father for not fixing the lights, reminding him Cullen was scared of the dark. They argued with Marcus saying he wanted his son to man up and Harper wanting to know why they couldn’t just live with their mother if he had no interest in taking care of them. After Marcus left Harper comforted her brother, reminding him that the dark was only scary because of the unknown, and he know his sister was there for him. She told Cullen he was brave and inspired him talking about all the heroes that were in the world like Batman and Superman. Harper used a book on circuits she’d checked out from the library to wire Cullen’s lamp, and no longer afraid, he told her she could turn it off. Cullen remarked that he was pretty sure Harper was smarter than their dad, and she replied that she knew she was.

(Batman II #29) - Superstorm Rene was set to hit Gotham City, and Lt. Gordon and the GCPD evacuated the Narrows. Harper and Cullen were put on a bus and wondered when they’d see their home again.
