As a child, Goldie felt blessed to have powers. She was able to train with her two other siblings and her parents. It created strong family bonds, getting to see each other's powers grow. Her eldest brother Cerdian was exceptionally gifted at manipulating water, while her older sister Airis was gifted at hand to hand combat. Goldie was gifted at using sound waves from her vocal cords.

In the past, it was something Sirens used to lure sailors and crash their ships because they fed off of chaos and destruction. Now, in modern times, Sirens used them to create chaos in forms of manipulating people's emotions in order to feed.

All Sirens had the ability to use sound waves, but not all were talented at it. Nearly-talentless ones would rarely be able to create chaos to the human mind, while the more talented ones who would be able to control the human mind.

Sharon had never once felt Goldie digging through her mind, so she assumed she didn't have the gift for that, but it was the opposite. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were trained to withstand as much mind control as they could after the Winter Soldier had been controlled for most of his life before he decided to retire.

Now, Goldie was afraid of herself. After humans captured her family because of what they were, she disliked being a Siren. She believed if she and her family were born human instead, they wouldn't be hunted. She had no clue what happened to her family - if they were alive or dead. The fire in her had died out.

Now, Sharon was no empath or Emotion Eater like S.H.I.E.L.D.'s best doctor, Helen Cho, but she swore she could feel the sadness radiating off of Goldie whenever she sat in her favorite loveseat and looked out the window like a puppy waiting for its owner to come home.

"Hey, you hungry?" Sharon asked, offering a raw fish to Goldie.

Goldie's head turned from the window and onto the fish in her hand, then nodded. She stood up from the loveseat and took a moment to remember how to walk, wiggling her toes in the process, then walked over to Sharon and took the fish from her hand before pressing two fingers to Sharon's chest.

"You're welcome," said Sharon.

Goldie didn't have to use words in order for Sharon to understand what she meant. They had been in hiding together for three months now. She picked up a few habits that Goldie had.

Certainly, Sharon was her caretaker, but Goldie believed her to be a friend, and that was what she needed in her life because she had no one else.
