In a house in Romania, a woman Irina Dalca is in labour. Hidden away by her family since the discovery during the pregnancy. Outside the room waits Irina's father and a man to take the child away as soon as its delivered.
"What will you do with the child" enquires Irina's father as he shifts uncomfortably in his chair upon hearing another scream coming from his youngest daughter. "I fail to see how that is of any of your concern, your wife sold it to us" the man replies. Another scream is heard and Stefan (Irina's father) stands and walks to the window. "I just want to know that thing will not be brought back or be around Irina, she suffered enough when her sister was... taken care of". The man stands, "as soon as the child is born I will take it and you will never see it again, it was part of the deal your wife demanded when we paid".
Stefan does not hear this reassurance, instead he is drawn back to the discovery his eldest daughter was a mutant. He and his wife instantly disgusted by their child they abandoned her, swore never to speak of her again, that was until Irina's unborn child presented with abilities similar to its mothers sister. He questions why them, why is their family being punished with unholy children. He knew the fate for this child will not be good. Locked away being tested on it's entire life but he and his wife needed to get it away from Irina and their family, it was for the best so when Hydra offered $250,000 dollars they took the easy decision to sell it.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH"
A new born's cries are heard through the door, Stefan's wife walks out with a crying bundle of blankets and hands it over to the man. "Take that monster and leave". "Has the child presented any powers?". "Her eyes have changed colour, shes the same as Raven... just not blue". She turns and goes into the room to her daughter, followed by Stefan.
The man holds the child, rocking it and shushing the baby. "So a girl hm, you will be perfect little one." He leaves the home and gets into a waiting car and makes a phone call as the baby falls asleep in his arms.
"Its a girl" he informs the person on the other end. "Shape shifter.. Yes she is healthy" he adjusts the blankets around the infant. "The mother requested she be named Ilona Maria Dalca... I agree, this is only thing she'll do... They called her monster". At the other end of the phone, a voice shouts back "A MONSTER, WHO SOLD HER, THEY ARE THE MONSTERS THIS CHILD WILL HELP US TO BRING US TO RULE THE WORLD". The newly named Ilona wakes and starts crying. The man ends his call and picks her up into his arms "Hush little one, your safe."
As the car is driven away into the night the Dalca family are hopeful they will forget this and Ilona will be taken care of, how wrong they will be
