My life may have been short… but towards the end, it was worth it. All my life I had been casted out as a freak, blamed for my mother's death; I was born like this on a mere accident. Or was it?
My mother was one of the scientists working on the Tesseract with S.H.I.E.L.D., while pregnant with me. During one of the test, the Tesseract unleashed some of its power and hurt her. It was during that doctor's visit that she found out she was pregnant, and put the project on hold to continue it after my birth. She didn't get to live that long… With my birth came complications. When the Tesseract acted up during that test, it infected me with its power, and because of that power she died… My father wanted nothing to do with me or S.H.I.E.L.D. In fact he wanted me killed for the monster I am, but S.H.I.E.L.D. intervened and raised me to control my powers. I made sure I was always in control of my powers, but I never liked how everything can change with a snap of my fingers. The underlying fact that I controlled energy, while everything around me needed it… disturbed me. The Tesseract was my power source; nothing else seemed to work in recharging my 'batteries', but that didn't stop my abilities from controlling other… sources.
S.H.I.E.L.D. H.Q. was the only place I felt safe, even if multiple people come and go. I went on missions and was considered an adequate spy. Just my off put looks made it so I couldn't go under cover. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ugly and I look pretty exotic with my mocha skin and long white hair, but people tend to look at me like a freak or sometimes even scared of me, only because of the softly glowing markings that covered my body. Like a light they flicker and glow, but I try not to let that bother me. I had friends while I live at S.H.I.E.L.D. and hell I even gained more friends, I got to be part of a team. One who actually cared about me and I don't have to be worried about hurting them. A team, who like me, have special abilities. We only got to work on a world-saving mission once before I had to leave, and my only regret… is that I didn't get to know them better.
