You make me glow

But I cover up, won't let it show

So I'm putting my defenses up

'Cause I don't wanna fall in love

If I ever did that, I think I'd have a Heart Attack

My name is Kathryn Virginia Stark. Yeah, Stark, you know, the genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist? And you can probably guess who my mom is by the middle name. Virginia "Pepper" Potts.

You can probably imagine how both awesome and crazy it would be to grow up with the Avengers as your family. I call them all "Aunt" and "Uncle", other than Natasha and Wanda, who are more like my sisters. It's always ironic to me when they call me pet names like "kid" and "pipsqueak" because I'm the most powerful out of all of them.

When I was a baby, I was experimented on and injected with super-soldier serum, combined with something else, giving me other powers. I won't go too much into the power part, but as you can imagine, growing up with the Avengers means intense training. Combat training with Uncle Steve and Uncle Bucky, Weapon training with Nat and Uncle Clint, and Power training with Uncle Bruce and Wanda. Plus my Dad helps me with technology and lab stuff. I inherited his genius genes.

Anyway, you probably wanna hear about my real adventures now, huh? I'll warn you, it's an intense story. Continue at your own risk.
