I feel as though my life is a tragic play write like in Shakespeare's Hamlet. One minute I am in a loving family who loves me until my darkest secret is revealed to my only living relative, my brother. We are of the same age and yet we are not twins. I was adopted into my brother's family. His parent died in car crash we were left to survive in a harsh world together.

We were close; we were always there for each other when needed.

But that all changed.

You see to understand what happened you must first know who my brother is. Tony Stark is my brother, or half brother you can say.

When I was thirteen years old I found out I was a mutant. My abilities were unique in a way. I could use telekinetic powers to manipulate things. Paper was always my first choice to manipulate. It was so delicate yet sharp as well.

I was able to control my abilities by myself without the help the Xavier's school. Howard Stark somehow knew that I was a mutant but was not fearful of me like others would be. He was happy in a way that makes me smile to this day. He once told me that being different is the best thing in the world because you are able to see the world in a different view.

We kept my secret until his death, then it was up to me to keep that secret to myself. I lived life like a normal human and it was my most happiest days ever. So I went through medical school and life as being normal…that was until Tony became Iron Man.

I was well out of Medical school by then. After Tony became Ironman and I was placed under SHEILD's radar for being who I am, things started to change.

I met a guy who I thought was my soul mate until I found out her was a SHEILD agent just keeping tabs on my.

Lets say it took a long time for him to recover from his injuries after I learned what he was doing and how everything was a fake.

Then SHEILD became involved with my brother and things took a nosedive when Natasha Romanov let loose that I was a mutant to my brother.

Tony freaked out and drove me away like many people do to people like me.

It was after that day I met Professor Xavier. My abilities went a little haywire from my anger and feelings of betrayal that he found me and talked to me.

I felt better talking to him but I declined to go to his school. I told him that I needed to find my way in life and that I needed to rediscover myself after losing my identity as being a Stark.

He told me that the doors would always be open for me to come whenever I needed a place.

So now you know my story so far. Its not a wonderful fairy tale like some stories are and you know what, that's okay. Life is full of ups and downs and never perfect.

So where am I at in my story?

Well you see I am now in New Orleans. I don't know why I picked this city. Maybe it was because it was a city full different people and cultures that maybe I might find who I am. Who knows?

There is one thing I forgot to tell you, it was my name. My name is Shay. I would say my last name is Stark but since I was kind of casted out by my brother I thought I would drop it so all I am is Shay and just being Shay is fine with me.

So with out further a due lets get one with my story. It may be sad and may be happy, only you can decide for yourself. I just hope you learn about me and the people I met in life.

Shay was working the night shift at a bar in the heart of the French quarter of New Orleans. It was busy tonight, due to the to it being Mardi Gra and all. It was actually nice to be busy and not think about the predicament she is in her troubling world.

New Orleans was so different than Malibu California where she grew up. In New Orleans, the weird and abnormal were welcomed and she liked that. When she moved to New Orleans, she changed her name and started a new life.

Shay was bartending when a usual customer came to her bar.

"A fine lady like you, working on a day like today?" A familiar heavy Cajun accent said.

"Yes Remy I am. Would you like the usual?" Shay asked with a smirk.

He nodded in reply and watched her make him a drink.

"When do ya get off?" Remy asked.

"Here in an hour or so. Then I'm going home." Shay said she stood there talking to him.

"Not such thing missy. You will enjoy your first mardi gra rather you like or not." The Cajun told her.

"Oh really, and who is going to make me?" Shay said a a smirk played on her lips.

"Me of course."

"I knew you were going to say that." Shay said with a sigh.

If there was one redeeming trait that Remy had, it was that he was persistent. Sometimes it was rather annoying.

"Alright LeBeau, I get off here in thirty minutes. If you stick around and not get drunk I will let you take me to Mardi Gra. Deal?" Shay asked with raised eyebrows.

Remy smiled happily at her.

"Okay you, I will have to say that this is the best thing I ever had in a long time. I guess I really needed this." Shay told Remy as they sat on the roof of some building and watched the fireworks together.

"You seemed rather tensed more than usual, so I thought you needed some fun." Remy said with a smile.

"Thank you Remy." Shay said as she leaned against his side and laid her head on his shoulder.

"So Remy was wondering about something." Remy said watching the fireworks.

"And what would you be wondering about?" Shay asked as she kept watching the fireworks.

"Are you running from something? You seem to always watch everything around you unless your by me. You are also always tense." Remy explained when he finally looked at her.

"I am. I am running from my past and starting a new one here." Shay said looking up at Remy, "When I first arrived here six months ago I had no idea what to do and where to go. I was scared of being in a new city and not knowing anyone. When I met you in the bar I work at, I thought you were a womanizer and a weirdo until I actually took the time to get to know you. I am glad met you or I wouldn't have someone to lean on."

" Remy is glad to have met you too. Why are you running, if I may ask? You don't have to answer if you don't."

"Promise me you won't freak out or anything Remy? I know you told me how you're a mutant and everything and thought that was the coolest thing ever." Shay said sitting straight up.

"I won't freak out or anything. There's no need to worry." Remy reassured Shay.

"My name isn't Shay Radha. It's actually Adeline Stark. When I was 13 I found out that I was a mutant and my adoptive father, Howard Stark, was amazed at my abilities. He didn't freak out and dump me on the streets like some parents have done, but he made me keep it a secret between the two of us. Well years later after college and helping my brother Tony Stark with Stark Industries, he found out what I am and completely flipped out. I left the place I called home and changed my name and started a new life away from there.

"The brother and sister bond we had broke into a million pieces and he wont talk to me. We have lost contact with each other except with his assistant, Pepper Potts. She was like a sister to me and she calls me daily to see how I am doing here and is the only one that knows I am here actually. I changed my name to Shay Radha and started a new life and then I met you Remy." Shay told Remy.

"Can I say something in honesty?"

Shay nodded.

"I like the name Shay better." He told her with a smile.

Shay started to laugh at him, a smile big on her face.

"I like it too. The reason why I picked it. I am Irish and so I picked it. Nothing about me being related to the Starks freak you out or anything?" Shay replied.

"Not really. I always thought you were a special person and now I know why. You are a good-hearted person trying to start anew. Though why haven't any recognized you?" Remy questioned.

"I was never a person to be in the spotlight. I like to stay hidden from the world. Tony loved the limelight while I hated it. That's why I went to medical school and minored in linguistics. I wanted to help people more than anything but it was taken away from me. Tony has connections almost everywhere and so I had to change my name and all that." Shay explained.

"Chere, I always am here for you Shay. I will protect you from the bad people." Remy told her as he embraced her.

Shay buried her head into his chest and smiled.

"Thank you Remy. Thank your for everything. This is the best night I have ever had." She said with a smile.

Like all good things, they must end at a point. The world was changing and soon I would have to start a new life again when I have already started one. I would be trusted into a world where I desperately ran from it.

I blamed everything on Tony for my misfortunes and this was one them.

It would three years later that my life turns upside down again.
