Fairy

Ten years later in Manila Philippines the most populated city in the world. Maria Reyes was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. Antonia Reyes was 15 and going to be alone in the world. Knowing that her daughter couldn’t be caught now Maria wrote her a book of the truth. Sure Antonia knew some of it but a lot of what happened was fuzzy. She couldn’t let her not know who she was and how far they have come. At the end of the book, she wrote a small thing of how happy she was about their life. How happy she was to be there to watch her grow into a woman that she was proud of. Now that her daughter was older she had more to keep secret. Both for her safety and for others around her. The day that Maria died the book was handed over to Antonia along with a lode of money. Antonia read the book from front to back taking the next month while the rent was stilled paid and thought. She decided to go to the library and read every book she could get her hands on about programming. It was only once she started to program that she found something odd. With her new-found knowledge, she decided to take a look at this ‘SHIELD’ her mother wrote about.

To say that she wasn’t impressed was an understatement. She hacked into SHIELD without any problems. She had just learned how to hack too so it was really a sad day for them. No one noticed a thing or was even bothered about her being in the system. She searched them longer than she probably was supposed to. She read everything about them finding out all the information. Like how Peggy Carter was no longer an agent. She had been diagnosed with altimeters. She found the hospital that Peggy was in. She remembered her aunt Peggy because she was someone that her mother wrote about in the book and she knew Peggy was her Aunt. Deciding to go and see her was the first choice she made then she would go somewhere and set up camp that wouldn’t notice her.

Sneaking into Peggy Carter's room she sat by the bed for a moment looking at the woman before her. She seemed so weak compared to the woman in her memory. The book told her about how this woman had helped them so much, and yet here she lay in a hospital bed. It didn’t take long for Peggy to wake up and stare at her as she sat down.

“Who are you?” She asked confused about where she was and why she was there. Antonia knew how to read people after spending so much moving and trying to read her mom. She got into fights all the time to keep herself safe and the things that she claimed as hers. It just became easier to read someone rather than try and fight on a whim.

“I’m Antonia Stark,” She said looking the woman in the eyes. It took a moment before her eyes widened and she sat up looking her up and down.

“You look so much like your mother,” She said smiling her eyes wet with tears. Antonia couldn’t believe that this woman was so kind after the stories. She thought she would be mean or scary but she wasn’t. Sure lots of people told her to take but not with tears in their eyes. The look of joy at seeing her.

“Thank you. I go by the code name Fairy now though” She said smiling at her. Antonia found the nickname everything that she wanted. She would be someone that could fix anything and everything. There wasn’t going to be anything that couldn’t be fixed if she was the person fixing it. She had a goal and she was willing to do anything to anything to make it come true.

“Code name?” Peggy asked her smile falling off her face. She wondered if after all those years if she failed at protecting them. If someone else found them and turned them into spies or worse. Would it had been better to stay with Howard after all? No that couldn’t be. She kept running through all the thoughts that she could about it.

“Yes I’m not an agent and I don’t plan on being found anytime soon. I know that the winter soldier had a code name even though he’s not an agent” She said trying to justify herself. She wanted to impress this woman and she didn’t know-how. Peggy took a moment just looking at her.

“I see, I think that it fits you... What happened to your mother?” Peggy asked taking a glance at the window Antonia had gone through.

“She died last month,” She said frowning hating every last moment of it. Peggy looked down at her hands were resting in her lap. She didn’t know why it hurt to have Peggy's eyes off her rather than on her.

“I’m sorry for your loss” Peggy finally said after a few moments. She remembered Maria for the bravery that she showed. It scared her to think that she wouldn’t remember things like that soon. Now at least she got an answer to her long-awaited question if they were doing alright. If they were safe and how they were doing before it all disappeared. Now she didn’t think there was anything that she regrets. Sure she would do things a little differently but if she had to do it all exactly again she wouldn’t regret a moment of it.

“Thank you. I’m sorry for your loss as well” Antonia said standing up she had come and met the woman. Now she had places to be and chaos to create.

“Where are you going to go?” Peggy asked reaching out but not touching. She knew better than to touch a trained fighter. No matter how Antonia tried no one knew how capable she was other than Peggy who was the person to train her trainer. The only other person that could know how dangerous Antonia was had died a month ago. Now Antonia Stark was one of the most dangerous people alive and no one could know about it. That idea was solidified after She looked back with a smile that made her look more like the fairies of old that would kill you for giving them something they didn’t want. Then she disappeared into the world beyond the window. Peggy could only think about what was just released onto the world and yet she couldn’t be prouder.

Antonia headed for a poor area that had a junkyard. There it wouldn’t matter who came for her she would be ready. She knew that the winter soldier killed her father and his new wife. But she also knew that he was Sergeant Barnes and was being forced to commit the crimes. Sure she wanted to find him and take vengeance against him but the more information she found on him the more she didn’t want to. He was being tortured enough. Not to mention there was no way she could take on a powerful organization like hydra alone. She had too much work to do before she was ready to do that. He would have to wait his turn on her todo list. For now, she had a base to create and a world to dominate.
