A/N: This is my entry to the Marvel Rare Pair Bingo Round 2 2023. Annie MRP-066.

Marcos felt betrayed. For years, he and Lorna had been inseparable. They had shared laughs, secrets, and adventures together. But all that changed that fateful day.

Lorna had decided to join the Hellfire Club, a dangerous and feared gang in the city. Mark couldn't believe it—how could Lorna choose that dark path instead of staying with him so they could have Dawn protected?

He sat in his room, staring at the picture of the two of them together. He remembered how they used to walk in the park before the chaos started, laugh carefree, and dream of a future together. Now, all that seemed so far away.

Marcos couldn't help but feel abandoned. He wondered what he had done wrong and what had led Lorna to make that decision. Hadn't it been enough for her?

Anger and sadness gripped Marcos. He had to do something to keep them safe; he knew Dawn should not be in that place, as she was more likely to be in the sights of enemies.

He decided it was time to look for answers and, if possible, take his daughter with him. He knew where to find them, so he went to the place, but instead of confronting her, he decided to observe from a distance.

He saw how Lorna looked like she belonged there and how she was developing. He wondered if he had ever really met her. Was this the real Lorna? Or had she simply been swayed by the influence of her new "friends"?

Mark stood there, hidden in the shadows, watching Lorna as she interacted with the members of the Hellfire Club. He wondered how it had come to this—how the girl he had fallen in love with had ended up like this.

For several more days, Mark continued to go, needing to carefully observe everything. As time passed, Marcos began to notice a change in Lorna. Her gaze became colder and more distant, and her laughter was no longer sincere.

He knew he had to act, not only for his own sake but for Dawn's as well. He couldn't allow his little girl to be exposed to that dangerous environment.

He decided it was time to talk to Lorna, to try to make her see the reality of the dangers Dawn was exposed to. Although it seemed that all communication was impossible, she wouldn't even return his calls.

The last time he went to spy on her, he noticed that Lorna seemed distant; something strange was going on, although he didn't know if she talked to him. He wasn't sure if she would be able to forgive him. However, what worried him more now was Dawn's safety.

Mark knew he had to somehow get Dawn to safety, but he couldn't be alone. He was sure he needed help to change her mind; he had to go get the rest of the team.

It took him a couple of hours to get back. As soon as he entered his bedroom, he got a big surprise: there was Dawn. Next to her was a note where Lorna asked him to take care of her; later, she would explain what had happened.

Marco was worried about what would happen to Lorna.
