"Lorna, get back here!"

Lorna Dane stormed for the front door of her house, her mother in tow. Well, foster mom, as she had so kindly reminded her a few moments prior.

The two were in the midst of a yelling match, trying to one up each other in making the other feel shitty about themselves. Her hand touched the doorknob before she whipped around.

"What is so wrong about telling me? All I want to know who my mother and father are! My real mother and father."

Penelope Dane groaned. "Lorna, it's a very long story."

"Then just tell me!"

Still, her mother remained unbroken. "No!"

Her jaw clenched, as did her grip around the doorknob. She swung the door open and stormed out. "Where do you think you're going?!"

"Out!" she yelled back. "Away from you!"

"Fine!" Penny cried. "Run away, get lost, see if I care!"

"Fine!"

The door slammed shut, and Lorna was alone.

The girl fought the tears of anger and frustration that were trying to fall down her cheeks, but she just sniffed, shoving her hands in her pockets and trudged out into the streets of New York. She threw her headphones in, not in the mood to tune into the streets around her. All she needed was some alone time, to cool off.

This argument had been a regular thing for about a month now. Ever since Hydra was discovered to be hiding under the guise of SHIELD the question sparked in her mind. Her mother had told her once that her parents had worked for them. When her mother wouldn't tell her she suspected the worst. Now, this fight was an everyday thing. Usually she would storm off, and then come back and everything would be fine again. At least, that's what she thought.

New York was still busy with people coming home from work. People bumped into her as she made her through the crowd. She rolled her eyes as they pushed past her, not caring enough to say sorry. She was reaching the end of her patience when a man on his phone bumped into her. Lorna sighed, turning around and tapping the man on the shoulder. "Hey," she called, "watch where you're going."

The guy, a man in his forties, eyed her up and down. He looked rather sinister, sending a shiver up her spine. He smirked, his eyes returning to her face. "I'm sorry, miss."

She cleared her throat, nodded. "Yeah."

He hesitated before walking away. Lorna frowned a little but continued her trek. At this point, she hadn't realised that the person he was talking to on the phone started stalking her through the streets. She didn't realise this for awhile, until she spotted the man who had bumped into her earlier watching her intently. A shot of fear went through her when her eyes locked with his. Cautiously, she started backing away, to try and dart down an alleyway. She took a step backwards, freezing when her back collided with someone's front. For a second, Lorna didn't do anything, but her eyes scanned the streets to hopefully catch an eye that she recognised but she saw nothing. The blonde closed her eyes as the person behind her bent down and whispered in her ear.

"You, my dear, are to die for."

Lorna gulped, closing her eyes, but said nothing. The man put a hand on her shoulder. "Come with us, and we won't kill you."

Letting the man lead her to where he wanted her to go, she was lead down an alley, before he let her go. She looked around her surroundings, to see if she could bolt away but she was trapped. More people began to come out of the shadows, Lorna was cornered and she had no idea why. Tears began to prick her eyes once again but this time not out of anger, but out of sheer helplessness. "What are you going to do with me?"

As something was put over her head, she heard the man laughing. Lorna didn't like how careless it sounded.


One year later...

"You will be subjected to tests, they will be excruciating, they will test your mental strength. This year will be the longest year of your life."

In the ruins of a Sokovian castle, Hydra was recruiting.

Wanda Maximoff rolled her eyes as the leader of these experiments, Baron Von Strucker, spoke to the group of Sokovians who had signed up for this. Her twin brother nudged her, smiling cheekily at her. She shook her head, trying to hide the smirk on her lips. They had signed up for these tests, but they didn't expect this to be so cheesy.

"You will be alone, no one will come looking for you. But you are here to stop the Avenger menace!"

There was a cheer, Wanda and Pietro included. This was the reason why they were here. To say they despised the Avengers was an understatement. The Avengers made things worse rather than made things better, they destroyed everywhere they went and didn't care about the innocent civilians in the surrounding area. Iron Man was the one the Maximoff's despised most. He was the reason their parents were dead. His bombs killed their country. Wanda didn't understand why he was getting praised when he murdered so many people with what he created.

"Will you stand with me! Will you be the heroes of this world!" the cheers turned into hollers of triumph and success. Wanda watched as Pietro whistled. "Now, say you're goodbyes, you will be separated from your families. You have two minutes."

Wanda's eyes widened and whipped her head to her brother who looked just as shocked. "Pietro," she began.

"I'm not saying goodbye." Pietro said, shaking his head with that same cocky smile he wore as usual. "I'm not saying goodbye because we will see each other again. I know it."

The Maximoff daughter gave him a tight lipped smile. "I love you, brālis."

Pietro pulled him into a bone crushing hug. "I love you, too."

The Baron spoke again. "Please make your way to your respective rooms, test's will start immediately."

Wanda felt an arm tug her away from her brother. With great resistance, she joined the group of women who were being lead to the labs. She turned back, her heart breaking as she watched her twin give her a thumbs up. She tried to swallow the nerves as the door shut with a loud bang behind her, completely cutting off contact from Pietro. Everyone was silent as they navigated their way through the castles corridors. The only sound was the wind hitting the walls, pouring through the cracks in the stonework. Wanda tugged her shawl closer to her body in an effort to keep warm.

They entered the labs and the nerves spiked one more time. The scientists in the room, one for each person, stood in a line with clipboards and tables with straps, one for each person as well. Sweat began to form on her forehead. The room was barren, save for a few shelves filled with medical paraphernalia. There was a table in the middle of the room filled with shelves and shelves of files filled with a strange glowing blue liquid. Wanda tugged the shawl once more.

While looking around, the young Sokovian did a double take when she noticed a woman levitating in the air. She turned to face the blonde who hadn't given the slightest inkling that she knew anyone was in the room. Wanda watched intently as green mist swirled around her. She sat cross legged in the air, floating, her eyes were focused on something in the corner in the room. Wanda took a cautious step closer as something began to rattle in her room. The girl's irises were fluorescent green and her brows were furrowed in concentration. Wanda followed her train of eyesight to see a metal box hovering in the air. Wanda took a step back.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" the Baron spoke lowly, making Wanda jump.

"Who is that?" she spoke, barely above a whisper.

The girl suddenly jerked. The metal box crumpled into itself into a tiny ball and slammed into the glass. She began to scream, shouting, "Let me out, someone help me!"

"She is our greatest achievement."


A/N: So, everyone, here we are. I am really looking forward to this. I find I can write Marvel stuff a lot better than other fandoms. For that reason, i think i'll be taking down Blind Sighted. I'll still keep up Before the Storm because I have hopes for that story. But, back to this. If you didn't know, Lorna Dane is one of Magneto's kids, alongside Wanda and Pietro. I just thought it would be funny if she made an appearance in the MCU beside her half siblings. Obviously, she will have a different origin story, as we see here, but the relationship between the siblings will still be an important thing.

So, I hope you stick around for this story, I am looking forward to working on it. - E
