So. In my New York, there's Kenneth Irons. Runs a Fortune 500 company, Irons Industries. On paper - resource trading, real estate, finances, it's not nice but it's legal. In reality, he's in everything he can skim a profit off. The Witchblade was in and out of his possession for - a long time. It came to me because I stumbled into a 'tournament' he was running to find its next bearer.
During the flood, I never knew my best friend - former best friend, Maria. When she was murdered, I never investigated her death, never found out her killer was trying to raise funds for Irons' tournament, never went near it, but - the Witchblade wound up with a professional domme. Irons' PA was one of her clients, so I guess that's how she got it. We were investigating her since Irons' goons killed everyone at her dungeon looking for her; I was there when he tracked her down. She killed him and then herself and I - wrong place, right time. Again. I ended up with the damn thing practically to the same hour, and after that nothing much was different.
[Why yes, the above is semi-canon by way of a spin-off issue. She sighs.]
It just makes me feel like my life's been running on rails for a long time.
