===Background===
===Background===
Heather Taylor grew up poor, swimming in the rivers and lakes of Wales, often seeming more at home in the water than on land, and that was before one of those swims ended with her dragging her watery body home in a panic, at least until she worked out how to become solid again.
Brandon Harris was a promising chemistry student on his way to a successful career in the field. But, when his mother finally succumbed to her illness, he put all of that on hold to move home and look after his younger siblings.


That particular river was quickly off-limits to the general public, and Heather never really kept up on what happened to it after that.
Taking a job as a high school chemistry teacher lets him stay connected to his research interests, though, and a friend from college has a job at a local lab. It was while helping out with an experiment after hours that Brandon was exposed to a dangerous new chemical.


With hearing able to find a heartbeat under tons of rubble and a body that could seep through the smallest gap and pull someone out in a similar watery form to her own, she was considered a natural fit in the UK's disaster rescue team, and had quite the successful career there.
It sent every cell of his body into overdrive, making him move and think at super speeds. While he was already doing his part to help out his local community, the transformation inspired Brandon to do even more and apply to Worldwide, so that his outreach could hopefully help the whole world.
 
That career ended with the birth of her daughter, Lily, however. For a long while she was seen as just a retired Active and a mother, instead of the wife and co conspirator of the head of a small group of organized criminals specialising in the theft and sale of industrial secrets and the blackmailing of rich businessmen. Following the death of her husband, Heather took over the leadership of that group up until a run in with a corporate team that did the exact same thing (but, being employed by a rich man, were instead legal) that left her wealth gone and Heather only just out of jail. Worldwide's offer was the financial lifeline that she needed.

Background[edit]

Brandon Harris was a promising chemistry student on his way to a successful career in the field. But, when his mother finally succumbed to her illness, he put all of that on hold to move home and look after his younger siblings.

Taking a job as a high school chemistry teacher lets him stay connected to his research interests, though, and a friend from college has a job at a local lab. It was while helping out with an experiment after hours that Brandon was exposed to a dangerous new chemical.

It sent every cell of his body into overdrive, making him move and think at super speeds. While he was already doing his part to help out his local community, the transformation inspired Brandon to do even more and apply to Worldwide, so that his outreach could hopefully help the whole world.
