My life was never normal. Even when I was young. I was a secret to the world because my father had a reputation he didn't want to tarnish by inviting a child into the picture. At least that's what I always thought. Even when I was young. The ten year old secret child of Tony Stark. Iron Man if you will. Savior of New York. Of the world.

But there was one soul he couldn't save. One that would haunt him for quite some time.

That was me.

"Amy come on in here, I want to show you this cool blue box thing!!" I smiled, running into the room.
"Tony are you sure we should be bringing her in here-" "she's my daughter. Smarter than she looks" my dad knelt down next to me. "She can handle herself better than you can sometimes. Right, freckles?" I nodded, giggling. He ruffled my hair, standing back up and lifting me off the ground. My eyes caught the glowing blue cube in the large container. "That's awesome! What's it made of?" I looked at my dad with nothing but interest in my eyes. "We have no effing clue kiddo. Maybe you could tell us?" He smiled, and I looked back at it. "Looks like a glow stick but a cube. Magic glow thingy. What does it do?" "Oh it does a lot of things. Pretty powerful too." I gasped. "So it is magical?! Awesome." I grinned. "You wish. There's a scientific explanation for absolutely everything and one day I'm gonna be able to prove it to you. No such thing as wands, or flying broomsticks, or dragons. That's your imagination. Facts before fairytales, Amy." He said, setting me down. I stood on my toes and peered up at the glowing blue box. "What's it called?" "Well everyone around here calls it the Tesseract, but to be honest, magic glow thingy is much much better. You see, we're trying to figure out what to do with it. " I smiled and looked around the room. There were some other adults, a blonde guy in a flag suit, a girl with red hair and pretty eyes was wearing all black, a guy in a purple shirt with glasses and curly hair, and another guy in a red cape with long blonde hair. He kind of looked like a Barbie. "Dad I thought real superheroes didn't wear capes" the blonde raised an eye brow and everyone else chuckled. "Do you want me to introduce you to everyone or are ya just gonna stand there and think up weird names for them?" "Sure." "That's point break" "I call him super Barbie." "That's the Russian three faced spy Natasha." "She's pretty lady" "over there is the big guy Bruce." "I don't know about him being big but I think he's more of the weird guy who has anger management issues" "thats capsicle" "American Draco Malfoy." "And everyone, this is my daughter Amy-"
The room began to shake as the tesseracts glow pulsated stronger and stronger. "Everyone out!" Cap shouted. Instead of listening, I ran towards the cube, out of curiosity, and ignorance. "AMY!!" I heard my father shout as guards tried to rush everyone out. One of them lifted me up and ran towards the door.

But they were too late.

A sudden, powerful burst of energy and the room exploded, my world going black.

Maybe it really was a bad idea to bring me in there.

Or maybe it wasn't.

I woke up alone, floating in space. It was dark and cold, but somehow I was alive. I blinked my eyes. Was this real? How did I get here? How was I alive? The questions filled my head as everything became so real. So real, and so so much worse than anything a ten year old should go through.

I floated around for hours, waiting to wake up. Every year I shed turned to ice on my skin. I was on the edge of giving up and floating there forever until I saw a light. It came closer and closer, a figure visible in it.

I could make out blonde hair and warm brown eyes, and the gentle arms of my savior before I blacked out once more.

When I came back around, I was in a room surrounded by green creatures. Then someone barely familiar came in. The girl who saved me in a ball of light. "Hi there. How are you feeling?" "Ok I guess. Who are you? How did I get to space?" "I'm Carol. And if I have no clue how you got here. Do you remember anything? Where are you from?" " I remember going to see something called the tesseract with my dad... but it exploded and I don't know what happened after that, and umm New York... Earth... the Milky Way..." I said, still dazed and confused. "I'm from Earth too! I mean they aren't but I am. What did this tesseract look like? Was it a blue glowing cube?" I nodded. She looked a little stunned for a moment. "Be right back...?" "Amelia" I said, relaxing myself around the green people. "Amelia. That's a really pretty name."

I stayed there in silence while she talked to a tall green guy for a while. I heard one thing that stood out: "I think she's like me"

Carol came back over and knelt next to me. "I know this seems random, but I want you to think about things that make you mad." I was confused but I did so, thinking about triggering things: trigonometry. Not having any friends. Being trapped out in space with a bunch of aliens and a blonde. With each thought I got angrier and angrier, and I felt a weird sense of power in my hands. I looked down at them and they were glowing red. I screamed, and the light ran up my arms and a pulse of power shot out and hit the floor. "Whoa whoa whoa. Calm down. Breathe in, breathe out. You're ok, Amy. I want to tell you what's happening."

And she did. She told me everything.

For a while I stayed with Carol, probably five years passed and I began to realize I could either go back home or stay on that small ship and protect the universe with a woman who was a lot like me: we were both kind of like that over powered but badass character in an action movie. She explained how she got her powers from the tesseract years before my dad found it and she's been up in space for quite a while. She also explained that the tesseract could teleport, and that was probably how I ended up in space. When I was, was hard to figure out since Carol hadn't had much contact with time or people in general for a while.

Despite having a good friend to guide me with these new powers, I still had a void that I couldn't fill. I missed my dad, but had no idea how to get back to him.

I decided I'd ask carol about it.
I suited up to go patrol around the ship with her, deciding that would be the best time to ask. We flew off of the ship together, keeping a careful eye out for any danger. "Carol I was thinking about something." I said awkwardly, slowing down and looking at my hands. "What's on your mind kid?"
"My dad. Earth. My home there. I was hoping that maybe I could go back... but I don't know wher-" "she grabbed my hand and we flew back to the ship. She lifted my hand and looked at my wrist, typing in coordinates. "I've been waiting for you to ask me that for so long. You're right; you need to go back, and I'm not gonna stop you. But just remember, whatever happens... you know how to find me." She smiled, her eyes watering. I gave her a hug, my eyes welling up as well. " thank you." I said. She nodded. "Always."

Within a few hours I said goodbye to everyone and prepared to leave.

"Hey Amy? If you ever see a guy named Nick Fury... he'd... have an eyepatch" she pointed to her eye. "Tell him I said 'wait a minute mr postman' I think he'll like that." She smirked. "Inside joke?" She nodded. "Gonna tell me about it?" "Nope" "alright, keep your secrets." I grinned, before hugging her one last time and leaving.

I followed the coordinates she gave me, unsure for what I'd find once I got to earth.

And here we are. There's your intro. Your super hero flashback.
