{FLASHBACK}
Hands wrapped around the girl's wrists and dragged her toward the door. "No...stop! You're hurting me! Stop!" she cried, kicking the guard that was dragging her out the door. "Dad! Dad, they're taking me away! Daddy! Help…!" A man, concealed by shadows, called out to her but was incoherent. The girl seemed to understand, though, and her screams turned into muffled sobs. "Why...why can't I stay with him? Was I bad? Please, I just want my daddy…"
{PRESENT}
She awoke startled. Nightmares weren't uncommon to her, but this one was different. She could remember this dream, yet...she couldn't. She wondered who that little girl in her dream was. Why did she look familiar? Who was taking her? Turning around in her bed, she faced toward the clock. 4:30 am. I might as well get out of bed, she thought. Getting up, she grabbed some clothes from her closet, a black sweater with jeans, and headed towards her bathroom. Not wanting to take a shower, she fiddled with her hair for some time before putting it in a side braid that hung near her collarbone. Longer than needed, she stared at herself in the mirror and let her mind wander. Her reflection showed a girl with long brown hair and dull green eyes, features inherited by parents she never knew. She always wondered who her parents were and if they knew she was alive in a country across the world from where she was from, as told to her by S.H.E.I.L.D. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she took one last look at her outfit. Satisfied with her look, she headed toward the elevator. I wonder if anyone ever got lost here? she laughed to herself as she walked through the long corridors to the elevator. Once inside, she decided to go to the roof and watch the sunrise, like she did most mornings. "Jarvis, can you take me to the roof, please?" she asked the AI. "Of course, Brooklyn," it replied back. Tony had put her name into the system when she had arrived there back when she was an early teen. The AI, although not living, had become one of her best friends. It took only a minute to reach the 93rd floor of Stark Tower. There she walked across to the stairs and up to the roof. She pushed open the door to see her chair waiting there for her. She walked across to her chair and pressed a button on the wall next to it, revealing a hidden kitchen. She made herself hot cocoa (she wasn't a fan of coffee) and sat down on her chair. The landscape of New York was one of her favorite sites, especially in the morning, when people are first turning on their lights. 5 minutes had passed before she heard the faint shift of the door and footsteps walking toward her. She tensed at first but then heard a voice. "Sorry, did I startle you?" he said, sipping his morning coffee, as usual. She turned around to see her uncle (as she called him) looking down at her waiting for an answer. "No, sorry, I was just zoned out for a few minutes. I was gonna come down in a few minutes," she said to him. "Ok, well, breakfast is ready when you are. We're starting early today, a mission from HQ just came in," he replied. She simply nodded her head in reply and followed him downstairs.
