Diana Hart II wasn’t known to anyone but knew about her abilities after having a run in with a co-worker of hers, who is a major bully to her. Diana watches the news from time to time to see her favorite, soon to be friends, complete their heroic deeds throughout New York. Diana is 18, soon to be 19 and lives with her ill mother, and her mother is her only best friend for they shared everything with each other. Diana didn’t like working at the Food court she was working at in Queens because she is confronted by rude and annoying people on the daily, and has to put up with mean co-workers.

One day her co-worker, who is also her supervisor did not like how the manager gave her a few raises, not knowing the agreement they had. Diana’s manager had given her a raise because he knew about Diana desperately trying to care for her ill mother, whom she lives with. Despite the other workers knowing this soon, they did not care. Diana was strong and didn’t let the annoyance hinder her as much because she wants to get through the day working. Her mean supervisor attempted to get her fired when she was on break. Diana was in charge of cleaning the utensils and plates that day and they decided to follow Diana with the cart of dirty utensils. They taunted as they yelled down to her while she was relaxing on a bench. She looked at the second floor as they dropped the items off the ledge altogether for them to break in front of her to clean up. Diana acted without hesitation.

Ironically, Diana just acted and collected and places everything down in order. Angered, the co-workers then started to chuck rotten fruit at her, and she dodged all of it and then security showed up and they co-workers of Diana sped off, leaving Diana behind to clean up. Diana thought that collecting and dodging what her silly co-workers attempted to do to her was just her being somewhat fast.

That night, after work, Diana drove home, but she spotted muggers robbing an old lady. She thought to herself that The Green Samurai or the others may not be in the area, and think she could do something to help the lady. She took a bag of baseballs that was sitting the backseat of her car and chased the two men down. She swung the bag at the thieves and knocked them down. The thugs were pissed at her, telling her she messed with the wrong people, adding, no one is here to save her. The thugs pulled out a worn metal rod and attempted to attack her, but she dodged and evaded all their attacks with ease, effortlessly. He disarmed one of the men and hit them both on the leg really hard, rendering them unable to move temporarily. As she returned the belongings to the old lady, she was caught off guard and one of them men grabbed her and tried to run off with her.

The men didn’t get far and they were ambushed by two of James’ friends, Corbin Ottomare and Yecho Shuo Yuanjia. The two of them saved Diana and the three of them teamed up to defeat the thugs. They tied up the men and Diana offered to drive them to the police station with the tied up thugs. Diana had a hyped look on her face and Corbin and Yecho were just feeling uncomfortable and awkward around her. Diana then burst out in excitement, saying that they worked well as a team and added that they “REKT” the thugs. Yecho then questioned what that means, with Diana telling him if he is a gamer, adding that the word mans when you beat someone in a humiliating fashion. She glanced and Corbin and blushed a bit, telling him that her hair is red too, with Corbin saying he can see that. She then asked for their names, but Corbin said they are unknown, adding it is unwise to say such, with two tied up thugs in the car. One of the thugs woke up and said that he is right, at this, Diana lose a bit control over her driving and started bonking the thug on his head while saying owned each time she hit him, at this Corbin said that the thugs are dealt with and enough is enough.

They got to the police station and turned in the thugs to the police. After this, Corbin said they have to get going, but Diana stops him by grabbing his hand. She told him she wants to know who they are and if they work with The Green Samurai. As soon as Yecho heard this, he was about to say James name, but Corbin hit him on the shoulder to stop him, telling him that they will remain unknown. Diana introduced herself anyway to them, and the way she was acting she seems to be crushing on Corbin, telling him they should meet again. She kissed him on the cheek and rushed off to her car in a silly manner. As she drove off she yelled deuces. Corbin was stunned, and Yecho was pushing him around to wake him up. Corbin never had someone kissed him on the cheek or fancied him before and Yecho told him that the girl probably likes him. When Diana went home, she explained everything to her mother and stated she fell in love, and her mother was clapping for joy that Diana found someone, and added if she is sure, with Diana saying she is 100% positive. Her mother then stopped hr again, adding that she could have been hurt that night. Her mother knew about Diana’s abilities but wanted her to find out herself and this was the reason why she kept her daughter with her all this time. Later that night, Diana was playing video games online and talked to her friends, who worked on a different part of the food court from her. She told them she met someone, and the guys she played with were happy for her. She didn’t explain to them that the guy she met was crime fighters when they asked if he was working or if he is a lazy bump. Diana didn’t question them and attempted to troll her friends’ in-game to avoid telling them, she trolled them by attempting to crash the helicopter they were in into a forest, indicating she was playing an FPS game.

Diana haven’t met with Corbin in days, and during that time, she ran into and befriended Mia, James’ cousin. She went to the food court to buy some ice cream. She followed Mia because she left her currency card on the counter. Even though no one could access it, she wanted to return it anyway. She also brought a pie of pizza with her so Mia can have it free, for the place she was working at was about to toss it out since it as an extra. Mia cautiously got to Garret’s hideout but didn’t know Diana was following her. Eventually Diana found their hideout and Garret spotted Diana on camera. Diana waved Mia’s card around and everyone inside the base looked at Mia. Corbin recognizes the girl and said not her again with a small smirk on his face. Garret had no choice but to get the card himself, telling Diana that Mia was his girlfriend and he was just about to go out and get the card, with Mia yelling from a distance saying, joking that she friend-zoned him. Diana heard this and joked with Garret saying who can friend-zone a hotty like him, and Garret was speechless, and started to tell Diana that some girls don’t dig Italian guys, and Diana started speaking a bit of Italian and tells him he will find someone. She gave him the card, but rushed in with the pizza, and Garret telling her to stop.

Diana discovered the other members of James’ team and was in awe. Cladd walked up to her, unfazed telling her if the pizza is pepperoni, and she was still in shock trying to save yes. Cladd took the box and walked off, telling everyone if they never seen a girl before because they stared back at her. She then spotted Corbin, who had headphones on doing planks. Corbin, unaware of Diana’s presence, felt that his back got heavy and when he realized what was going on, he noticed Diana was sitting on his back, and she removed his headphones, calling him hubby as she said hi. Garret then said he didn’t know about this and came to a conclusion that Diana, the fan girl, is infatuated with Corbin. She started to laugh and said that they teamed up against thugs the other night. She then said if she could train with them and join the team, but Garret said she has to train so they can determine. So 2-3 days from now, Diana trained with them, eventually meeting her hero, James and a few others. She was saying how they can be a team like in comic books with everyone laughing at how she is referring to them as comic book heroes. So she trained and sparred with Cladd, who was a meta-human. Cladd wasn’t a rookie for his size and was quite skilled for he trained in the dojo Garret ran. As they trained, she asked Cladd what he can do, and he said he can see through things and stuff. At this Diana blushed and called Cladd if he can see through clothing and Cladd nodded and said yes but only when the situation calls for it, Cladd now realizing what she met and covered his eyes, yelling what did she make him do, and Diana was screaming at the same time yelling at Cladd for being a pervert. At this Garret chuckled and said to Mia she found out Cladd has X-Ray vision and Mia giggled at the idea. She then trained against Yecho and a few others, like James, who went easy on her, and finally Corbin. Corbin watched Diana train and realized as long as she remained focused, she could practically evade and dodge anything that comes her way, despite her current state. She was, well on purpose she lost to Corbin, when he didn’t do anything. She then purposely dived into Corbin’s arms and joked with him that she is at his mercy, and peeked at him, at this Corbin dropped her and ran, with Diana chasing him around the dojo.

Days had past and she was part the team under Corbin’s Team Ruby. But sadly, during the time of her joining, she got a call from the doctors, stating her mother’s condition has worsened once again. Thinking about this, she too off from work and decided now wasn’t the best time to join the team and told Garret her situation. Garret understood and told her if she wants to come back and or visit, she is free to do so anytime. Once events of Japan and Animal Pack took place, Diana was pretty much at home, babysitting her mother who is slowly recovering from a false alarm from the doctors. Her mother told her that everyone has their day and for Diana not to worry if anything were to happen to her. At the time, Team Ruby was presence, patrolling New York as the others were away, and Corbin took the time to visit Diana and introduce himself to her mother, even revealing his harsh background and turning a new leaf.

Months have passed and Diana’s mother had gotten better, and she started to help out her new team when some situations call for it, she is often helping them when she gets the chance and her time to shine became known to others, and gave herself a name, Reaction, due to her abilities, the other name she was about to pick for her self was Punk-Function, due to her nature. This also gave Diana, thanks to Yecho, wants of meditation to work and hone her abilities.
