Biography

Protection from The Pilgrim

Anna on the Waverider with Ray.

When the Pilgrim targeted the loved ones of the Legends, Anna was extracted from history, being held in her fiancée Ray Palmer's quarters aboard the Waverider. Later once The Pilgrim was defeated, Anna was returned to her place in time and presumably given an amnesia pill to erase her memory of what transpired.

Death

When Slade Wilson's army stormed Starling City, Ray and Anna were caught in the crossfire of their assault. Unable to escape, Ray attempted to fight back and protect Anna, but his leg was broken. The soldiers then killed Anna by snapping her neck while Ray helplessly watched.

Legacy

Anna's death was ultimately what led Ray down the path that would lead him to eventually become the vigilante known as the Atom.
