i. IDENTIFY YOURSELF



CALLADRIS Gosblien lived in Arizona with her parents. Her dad, Mark was a park ranger and her mother, Martha was a scientist who studied desert flora and fauna.

Growing up in a vast, dirty, and hot environment, Calladris had a strange yet good connection with the animals around her—especially reptiles.

Whenever her mother would study any kind of reptile, she was drawn to them. She felt like she can hear their thoughts and communicate with them. Martha thought she was just being a kid though. However, Calladris was a bit different than them.

She had very strange activity that led her to not having any friends and getting picked on. But Calladris was always bright, so she was always kind back to them.

Now back to her strange activity, she could remain perfectly still for hours, like a monster waiting to attack a happy meal. She was also able to move very fast, darting the movements of reptiles.

Finally, when the girl hit puberty, that's when everything happened. Her "mutant genes" began to rapidly and violently grow..she was extremely confused and scared—also didn't know what the hell to do.

At thirteen, her arms that were so smooth began to harden into dark blue scales, but they were just patches that scattered throughout her arm..Calladris had to wear long sleeves for the rest of the school year and also from her parents...no way in hell she was telling them any of that.

She was fine when she turned fourteen, yay for her.

Fifteen years old and her eyes were able to change colors due to what mood she was in. Black is happy, blue is sad, red is angry, green is disgust, yellow is sick, purple is injured, pink is love, orange is fear, and finally..brown is just her normal eye color. Sorry, that was a lot.

A month after that, Calladris's two front teeth were razor sharp like a snake and she was also able to make her nails turn into claws, not forever though.

This was finally when her parents caught on. Calladris was filled with worry on what they might think but also she felt out of place. She was worried that her sixteenth birthday she was going to turn into an ugly lizard monster and not look like this forever.

Her body felt..like an alien to her and she struggled with figuring out her own abilities, she knew she had some. Her parents didn't know what to do also and they were scared that their own daughter would hurt them...

They were frightened and didn't know how to handle the situation. So, they did what any scared parents would do. They took Calladris out of school and kept her home, hidden away from the world.

This made Calladris feel lonely and isolated. She wanted to at least walk in the sunlight or sit outside on her own porch..

A couple months passed and Calladris still never left her home fully. She would sneak out only at nighttime, go to the reptiles, sit..talk with them and hear their thoughts.

Her parents became less and less found of her and it made Calladris feel even more shitty. She wanted to leave, to get away from them...but she wasn't even close to being old enough but with no money, no way to get a job, no way to have her own life.

While Callidris was stuck in her home, there was a huge battle in New York, Tony Stark became increasingly curious about unusual cases flagged by SHIELD—the special law enforcement, they're kinda scary..not really. Anyways, Stark studying these cases were honestly was just a distraction from his own PTSD.

Awkward...

Now, a file labeled "Subject: Gosblien, Calladris—Potential Mutant" piqued his interest. Stark, intrigued by the description of her reptilian...stuff, flew out to Arizona in his suit to investigate.

When he arrived at Calladris's home, he was greeted by a tense and nervous family. Calla's parents were desperate to protect their daughter but overwhelmed by her condition. Stark, with his characteristic bluntness, made his entrance...I guess you can say memorable.

"Alright," he said, stepping into their living room. "Who's the lizard kid, and why does SHIELD think she's either going to eat someone or save the world?"

Calla, who had overheard from her room, confronted Stark. Her eyes turn a dark black, her scales showing since she had a t shirt on. "Hi! You're Tony Stark?'" she exclaims, smiling.

Stark immediately saw how kind this girl was and there was no way she could hurt anybody, for no reason at least. So, with her parents permission, Calladris agreed to go to his tower in New York...her parents were scared but they couldn't do anything about it, her mom didn't want to study her.

Tony did want to partly study her condition but also to keep her out of SHIELD's hands. But honestly, he felt sympathetic for the little girl. "Thanks for saving me." Calladris says to Tony in her new room that was in the tower. "Anytime, kid. Just need to make sure you don't bite anyone I like."

Under Stark's mentorship, Calladris began training with the Avengers. She was fucking dummies up with her reptilian abilities. She could camouflage herself, climb almost any surface if she doesn't fall and eat shit, and her tail served as both a weapon and a tool.

Despite her abilities, she did have a slight problem liking herself in the mirror and also trying to go to school while being that...weird looking kid. But, the kids who didn't like her were jealous when Tony Stark came to pick her up from school.

She did call her parents every Friday, but eventually..they stopped calling her. And she waited on her bed in silence. Tony didn't want to tell her that Martha was going to have another baby, but she found out a month later. It didn't go well..

A couple years passed and she did eventually learn his abilities, she helped her "dad" with missions and such. A lot happened but she met some great people out of it, people who helped her.

She got closer to Peter Parker and they became good friends. She may have helped him a bit on some missions he would've fucked up on but...we don't talk about that.

She eventually graduated highschool and was still living with Tony, who didn't mind having her at all. They were good to each other and Tony felt like Calladris was his daughter, even if they weren't blood related at all.

Calladris became an official Avenger at nineteen years old, hell yeah dude. But..Thanos came, some mortal god that was too powerful for anyone. So, everything was fucked up now, whoops.

She joined the team in Wakanda, using her climbing and camouflage skills to ambush the "Black Order." She worked with Black Widow and Okoye in a scary ass battle that left her out of extreme breath...surprisingly.

However, when Thanos snapped his fingers, Calladris was one of the ones who vanished... Her last words, she whispered to Tony Stark over their comms, "Dad, good luck." Get this, that was the first time he heard her call him dad.

Five years later, when the Avengers devised a plan to reverse the Snap, Calladris was brought back during the climactic battle. She was happy she didn't age to be honest, she looked so good.

Anyways, she fucked bitches up with the avengers, using her abilities to take down Thanos's forces. At one point, she shielded Rocket Raccoon with her tail once it grew long, earning a gruff "Thanks, scaly" from the Guardian.

Calladris played a huge role in retrieving the Infinity Gauntlet. Once it as all over, she was excited when she came back to the battlefield, she wanted to see Tony because of how worried she was.

But, when she came back with Peter..Tony was lying against a metal post, dying..

Calladris's eyes turned blue as she knelt down in front of him, beginning to cry.

Tears rolled down her lizard colored eyes. This was also the time her hair turned blue. She placed Tony's hand on her hair when she was sobbing, where it faded from a dark brown color to a dark blue color.

"I love you, kid." Was all that she could hear under his gasping breaths and his whispers, even if he didn't say it fully..she still heard him. Calladris was never the same since that day. She tried everything she could to dye her hair back to brown or black but..the blue just came back the next day.

At Tony's funeral, she stared at the ground and when everyone left, she didn't. She stayed there, remembering not just Tony, but everyone else who died...all because they wanted to save the world.

With Stark gone, Calladris struggled with grief, but she was liked by a lot of people when she walked down the sidewalk and it helped her. People cared about her and she was doing a good thing to the world, just like her father—Tony would've wanted.

Peter and Bucky offered her a place to stay but she denied. A little after that she eventually moved out with the will she was left with.

A year later and she now lives in some tiny house in the middle of nowhere...in New York. She probably made a stupid decision since it does get very cold here, but..she genuinely had no excuse.

She's still in contact with some of the her friends from her team. She acted happy whenever she called them, lied about being okay. Calladris didn't wanna burden them, she just wanted to leave them alone.

Calladris also strangely found comfort in princess movies, but Cinderella..she watched it on repeat and didn't know why she related to them all. She was definitely not a princess, she doesn't think she'll even look pretty when she gets older..

As a result, the lady started to wear mini tiaras, add lace to the color of her clothes, only wear blue for her hair..she did all this to feel pretty, she tried to dress like a princess to make herself feel pretty..

But none of it worked. She never felt pretty, whenever she saw the scales on her arms or her claws come out from her hands—who would love someone like that?

Calladris wants to try dating and going out there but everybody knows who she is, they don't see her as also a human, nor will they see her as beautiful. Again, who would love her?

She's still a human and nobody can see that through her. She can eat normal food, sleep normally, use the bathroom normally, shower, talk, laugh, cry, sing, dance, she can do basically anything..

But, maybe all Calla needs is her reptiles, they're genetically the only ones that can really understand her anyway.

Maybe somebody will care for her..in a good way.
