Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.

-C.S. Lewis


I still remember when my parents died. I was all alone and so scared. Until the genius, billionaire, playboy, philantropist, Tony Stark brought me to Stark Towers. He took me in when I was the most vulnerable in life, and protected me. Living there also brought the Avengers into my life, it brought danger, yet made me stronger. My parents always told me that life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain. That's what I did. I took all of my fears and made them into something beautiful. My name is Mara Jane Austin, and this is the story of my life.
