Warlock's daughter

Darla first appeared as Tim Drake(Robin III) was trying to get out of school on his first day as a junior at Louis E. Grieve Memorial High School. Tim's only friend at the school is Bernard and is intimidated by Darla's jock friends, so Tim walks up to them and offers for them to beat him up so that his friend can get a free chance to talk to her. Tim wins the kids over as friends, and they go to get something to eat, and when Bernard takes his chance to talk to Darla, she shows interest in Tim.

The next time Darla appears, she is arguing with her dad, Henry Aquista, because of the fact that she thinks that Tim Drake is afraid to ask her out because of what he does.(Her father is involved in the Gotham Mafia). Henry receives a phone call from Johnny Warlock, and Warlock asks him to unleash a crime wave in the city to draw out Robin.

Shortly after this, Tim's dad forces him to stop being Robin. Meanwhile, someone known as the Scarab is scouring the city looking for Robin. As Spoiler is keeping tabs on Tim in his new life at school, she sees Darla kissing Tim and gets angry, running away. Tim tells Darla that he is in a relationship with Stephanie(Spoiler), and she then gets angry, and walks away crying, thinking that he does not like her.

When the Batman storyline War Games starts, Darla's car is attacked by a rival gang and Darla gets pulled out of her car. Tim saves Darla and sends her off towards a group of kids as he takes care of the remaining gang members. Once everyone is inside the school a bullet hits Darla, and it is unknown who fired it.

[edit] Warlock's Daughter

Henry Aquista, travels the world with his daughter's corpse, looking for a way to bring her back to life, and eventually comes back to Johnny Warlock, who he finds overseas. Johnny trades Henry's life for Darla's. When she climes out of the casket, she is born as Warlock's Daughter. Darla is next seen in an airport in Istanbul preparing to fly to Gotham.

Shortly after, we see Bernard, Tim's friend, driving in his car which lifts off the ground and it is revealed that it is being levitated by Warlock's Daughter, who is looking for Tim Drake. She reveals that she now goes as Laura Fell, and she needs to find Tim because she doesn't really know if she should be a super-hero or a villain. When Laura finds Tim, she reveals that she can be with him, once she pays off a debt, which is killing Robin.

Tim arranges for Superboy to pose as Robin so that he can fool Laura into thinking that she has killed him. "Robin" shows up, and Laura transforms into the Warlock's Daughter, and attacks Superboy. Superboy survives, but is badly injured, as he is vulnerable to magic.

Laura is next seen a week later in Blüdhaven in a tie in to the pre Infinite Crisis OMAC Project tie in. The town is under siege from OMACs, and Johnny Warlock comes to take her to safety. Robin arrives with the Veteran and some others and Johnny attacks Laura(transformed into Warlock's daughter) for failing to kill him. Robin stands him down because Johnny has a mental block, believing that Robin is too powerful for him, after the standoff, Laura is gone.
