Forced Second Chances

Helana Stark was a busy woman. She was a scientist in a world torn by war, a businesswoman in a male-dominated field, and an icon of women's power in a place where it was shunned. She had to be sharp yet soft, violent yet peaceful, flirty but untouched.And that was the problem. Helana was much too busy to be a good enough wife to keep her husband in their bed, much too busy to be a good enough mother to see how isolated Tony was because Marcus wasn’t there unless she was there to convince her he was a good father, much too busy to be a good enough friend that she noticed when Obi started plotting her murder.Busy, busy, busy. Right up until she died. Then she has nothing to do.Nothing to do but watch her baby grow up and regret it.When Tony dies and the battlefield is left covered in dust the very stones who killed her baby offer her the chance to go back, to fix her wrongs and 'make the world a better place'. She says no, and apparently, that is what they'd been waiting for.
