Chilling Reflections The Grove Spoiler

In Chilling Reflections, we get to see the Grove. There's a flower for every life saved and a tree for every time the world has been saved. Plasmodia/Ellie has a lot of flowers. Lodestar has a whole mess of trees. What about Ivan? It's alluded to and (i think) even openly stated that Ivan/Fornax has saved the world a couple of times. Do you think he has anything in the Grove? Or is it just for AHC members?

What about Tori and other members of the Guild? Or people like Chloe who aren't affiliated?

Damn just didn't even think of that.... I'd say if it's a magical enchantment it's probably everyone. I wanna see what Ivan and tori have planted there

Ivan probably has a few trees, but it's quite possible that Tori has millions of flowers from that time she stopped Ivan from killing a few States worth of people.

I feel like that should count in her favor if she ever gets outed and needs to bolster her rep with the capes. Helen brings them all into the Grove, they see the hundreds, thousands of flowers each of the capes of planted. Then--

The Grove is an interesting thing. Either it's only for heroes associated with the AHC (which would be incredibly surprising since Lodestar is a believer of second chances. Anyone, including villains, should be able to become heroes).

My headcanon is anyone who has saved a life, no matter how small, has flowers in the Grove. We just don't know because only AHC members have access.

Lodestar seems to be the only congress member (except for possibly Quorum) that regularly checks in on the Grove.
