[ she wasn't precisely alone, but for years, she'd only had pietro at her side after the loss of their parents, both only driven by the need of survival, of trying to piece their world together beginning with fighting the oppression the people of her country had been facing. but she'd ultimately lost him too, leaving her only this power within her, the one thing left to her after she'd lost everything else to obtain it.
the avengers were at her side then, providing her a place in their team, in their home, and she thought that could be enough. but they never have truly understood her, and then the world placed their label of "monster" upon her, she'd known with the look of their eyes that a part of them still saw the threat in her too.
