Ella Stark wasn't like other girls. She was born the youngest child of billionaire inventor, Howard Stark and his wife Maria. But her life was no walk in the park, it was far from that. Throughout her life she struggled as she tried to find her place and strived to be reunion with her family.

Her life changed on the day she went to kremlin grand palace in Russia with her family. Howard had been working nonstop on his latest project for the military. As usual he ignored his family the whole time he was working on the project. When he finally finished he told his family he would take them anywhere in the world. Maria had always wanted to see Russia, so he took them there.

The family walked down the streets of Kremlin. Maria was holding Ella`s hand in her left and Tony`s hand in the other. While Howard talked to his business partners on his cell phone.

"So where are we going today, momma?" Ella asked excitedly. Ella was five years old. She had curly long brown hair and brown eyes. Her skin was light and she was dressed in a long sleeved white dress and a white head band. She wore a pink snow coat black snow boots.

"We are going to an old beautiful castle." Her mother replied. Maria had curly blonde hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in a brown fur coat and a red dress. On her feet she wore brown snow boots. "It used to be the home to a king and his family. It's huge even bigger than our house and it has over 50 different rooms."

"BORING!" Tony shouted. Tony was ten years old. He had messy dark brown hair and brown eyes. His skin was light and he wore a blue sweater, brown pants and black snow boots. He wore a red snow jacket. "Why can't we do something fun? Like go Go Kart riding or go snowboarding?"

"We did what you and your father wanted to do yesterday. Now where gana do something that me and Ella will like."

"But mom!"

"Were going to the castle, Tony! End of decision!"

Tony pouted.

"I think the castle sounds fun." Ella said.

"Ughhh just shut up!" Tony groaned.

"Tony! Say you're sorry!" Maria yelled.

Then Tony let go of his mom`s hand and tugged on his sisters hair.

"Hey!" Ella yelled.

Tony laughed. Ella slapped Tony`s arm.

"Mom! Ella hit me!" Tony yelled.

"Mom! He pulled my hair!"

"You two behave!" Maria yelled.

"Your mean!" Ella said shoving her brother.

"You're stupid!" tony yelled.

"I swear Howard if you don't put down that phone now, and help me I'll kill you!"

Howard looked over to his family quickly.

"Yeah yeah whatever you say, Hon."

Suddenly the family was standing in front of the beautiful Kremlin place. The place was huge the kids looked around them in amazement. They were given a personal tour of the place and thanks to Howard they were allowed to see rooms no one else was allowed to see. Suddenly a man came toward Howard and his family. The man was chubby with black hair and blue eyes. He was dressed in a suit and wore circular classes.

"Hello Mr. Stark." The man said putting out his hand. "My name is Liam Tonski."

"Hello?" Howard said shaking his hand.

"I arranged this whole trip for you. I made sure you got the best hotel and the best tour. All for you sir, all for the great Howard Stark."

"And why is that?"

"Because I idolize you and your work, Mr. stark. You have created such powerful, incredible devices. But I'm sure those Americans don't care to pay you what you describe. I would like to give you an offer-"

"I'm sorry but I'm not interested. " Howard told him. "Come on kids, let's go."

Howard grabbed Ella`s hand and Maria grabbed Tony`s hand. Then began to walk away.

"Mr. stark," the man called. "I can give you all the money you could ever need! I can give you jewels, big houses whatever you want! And all I want in return is your services to build weapons for Russia."

"I'm not a trader! I would never betray my country!"

"Russia has some of the best inventors, if you join our team, you could be working with some of the greatest minds. We can become the most feared country."

"Do you have a hearing impairment or something? Not interested!"

"Then just work for me! Between the two of us we can take over the world!"

"You're out of your mind!" Maria stated.

Maria took Howard`s hand.

"Darling, let go." Maria told him.

Howard kissed Maria`s head. Then Howard and his family walked away.

"You`ll regret this stark!" the man yelled.

After they were done. They went back to the Hotel. The kids ran into the suite excitedly. Then began jumping on the beds.

"Stop jumping on the bed!" Maria yelled. "Why don't you guys go play a quiet game?"

The kids climbed off the beds.

"Let's play Shoots and Ladders?" Ella suggested.

"Okay!" tony replied. The two kids ran toward one of the bags and took out the game and began to play. Maria walked over to Howard who was drinking a bottle of beer. Maria took the bottle out of his hand.

"Howard, we need to go home. " Maria said. "We don't know what that man is capable of, we can be in danger."

"Maria, you worry too much, were gana be fine. There is security guarding this place 24/7. Hess not a threat he is just another nut."

Ella ran over to Howard and hugged him. Howard smiled and patted her on the head.

"Hello princess." He smiled.

"Daddy! Will you play with me and Tony? Were gana play your favorite game next?"

She looked at him with her puppy dog eyes.

"For you? Of course, Princess. "He replied. He kissed her head.

Ella grabbed Howard's hands and pulled him over to tony. Ella smiled proud of herself.

"Told you daddy would play with us." Ella told tony.

"He never plays when I ask him." tony murmured.

Howard sat on the floor with the kids and the three of them played Scrabble. The three of them laughed and had a fun time. As the night came Maria tucked Ella and Tony into their beds and kissed him good night. Howard kissed Tony's forehead and said goodnight as well. As he kissed Ella goodnight, she hugged his neck.

"Daddy will you read me a story?" Ella asked.

He smiled at her.

"Sure, sweetie." He replied. "Which one?"

"Cinderella!" she shouted.

He got the book from the bag then sat next to Ella on the bed, then began to read. Tony rolled over in his bed and watched as his father read to his sister. His father would never do that for him. He only played with Ella, only read to her, he only cared about his "little princess". He felt his mom was the only one who cared about him.

The next day Tony woke up to his mother screaming in terror. Howard woke up rubbing his eyes.

"What happened?" Howard asked.

"She's gone!" Maria yelled. "She's gone!"

Howard looked over to Ella`s bed, he looked shocked.

"Wait what the hell happened?!"

"I don't know!" Maria said in tears. "I woke up and she was gone! Do you think someone took her?"

Howard got up and hugged his wife.

"Don't worry, Hon. We`ll find her, no matter where she is we`ll find her."

Tony sat on the edge of his bed as he watched his mother pace back and forth as his father was calling police, security, hotel managers. Anyone who could help.

"You`ll keep an eye out for her!? What the hell is that gana do?" Howard yelled into the phone. "My little girl is lost and I'm sure she is scaried. She was kidnapped by some strange man. She could be raped or killed! And the best you guys can do is keep an eye out!? Do you know who I am!?"

Maria was in tears. Tony walked over to his mom and hugged her.

"Don't cry mom, they`ll find her." Tony told her.

She just continued to cry. Suddenly the hotel phone rang. Maria picked up the phone quickly.

"Hello?" she said into the phone.

"Hello." The man said on the other line. "I have your daughter."

"Who is this?"

"You know who I am. Mr. Tonski from the place. And I'm sure you know what I want."

"Let me speak to her."

"Hold on."

Maria herd screaming.

"Mom?" Ella said sacredly into the phone. "Mom I'm scaried!"

"Oh sweetie. Were gana fix this! Were gana come get you?"

She heard the phone passed on.

"So I have the girl, will you give me what I want?"

Maria turned to Howard.

"Howard! Mr. Tonski, he has Ella." Maria told her husband.

Howard hung up his cell phone and walked over to Maria.

"Give me the phone." Howard ordered. "I got a couple things to say this jerk."

"Don't get him mad, he might hurt Ella." Maria warned.

"Give me the phone, I'll handle this."

Maria hands over the phone.

"Hello?" Howard said into the phone.

"Mr. Stark, how good to hear from you." The man on the other line said.

"Give me back my daughter!" Howard told him.

"I don't think so."

"What do you want?"

"I want what I wanted before, you to work for me."

Howard sighed.

"….I can't. I can't do that. I told you."

"Then you don't get your daughter back."

"Please…have a heart. " Howard told him. Tears started to come out of his eyes. "She`s my daughter, my own flesh and blood. I love her with all my heart and she is one of the most important people to me. I can pay you anything you want, I can get you a ticket out of here. But I can't betray those who believe in me, those who look to me to help the soldiers keep their country safe. All I ever invent causes destruction and I know that, but I don't to hurt the ones I love. Soldiers and people who know me. I don't want my son to see me as a bad guy. I don't want him to think I'm a trader."

"It's your choice Mr. stark. Your country or your daughter?"

"I can't…give you what you want."

"Then say good bye, Mr. Stark. For your daughter is going to die."

"Wait! What?! No!"

He herd the gun shot go off. Howard dropped the phone then fall to his knees and began to cry even more.

Mr. Tonski shot off the gun off, but the bullet wasn't even near her. It was like he didn't even try. She looked at him shock.

"What's going on? Why did you pretend to kill me?" Ella yelled.

"I want him to know he made the wrong choice. But I don't want the guilt of killing child."

"You are insane!" Ella shouted.

"Perhaps."

Mr. Tonski then bought Ella to an orphanage where she would live up to age 18. Upon arriving at the orphanage Ella tried to explain to the people there that she was Ella stark and didn't belong there. But Mr. Tonski convinced the employees that Ella was crazy. Ella was very sad when she first arrived. She felt alone and she just wanted her parents to know she was okay. There was one worker who became her friend and like mother to her, her name was Lizzie Adams. She comforted Ella and told her things would be okay. Then throughout the years made sure Ella was always taken care of. When Ella was 18. She moved to New York, with money Lizzie gave her, hoping to find her family. But as she got off the plane to New York. She saw on the front page of the newspaper that her parents had been killed in a car crash. But Tony was still alive and living in Miami. She didn't have enough money to get to Miami so she decided to make a life for herself in New York. She had always wanted to be a shield agent so she attended the shield academy and became one of shields top agents. She became very busy with missions and her new life. When she was 26 she met Steve Rogers while working for shield. The two of them easily became best friends. But she never told him that Tony was her brother though, she never told anybody. She was afraid they`d think she was crazy like they did at the orphanage.
