Metal Arm, Meet Metal Leg

Chapter 2

It was such a nice day out, but my leg attracts too much attention. I didn't really know much about my past because at one point when I just discovered my powers, I erased all my memories. I had no idea how to bring them back. 

I've meditated. I've dug so deep into my brain only to find nothing. I was hopeless. The only stuff I know is what my father has told me, but he only knows what he's been told. 

I sighed, pulling on a pair of black Adidas sweats. I put on my training shoes, and slipped on a tank top. For where I was going, I can't be recognized. I let my hair fall and I tied it in a side fishtail braid. I placed a black hat on my head and grabbed a paid of sunglasses. 

I slipped on a thin sweatshirt and I was ready.

"JARVIS, do me a favor and don't let my father know where I'm going." I asked him.

"If I find anything online I will notify you right away, Ms. Shay." JARVIS informed me. "Good luck." he wished me as I walked out of my room. Every chance I get I go in search of answers. A few days ago, I found out they added a part to the museum and it was for me. I made sure JARVIS wiped everything about it from wandering eyes, AKA my father and anyone else who knows me at the Avengers tower.

I walked swiftly toward the museum, eager to find out more about me. While I was walking, my mind swarmed with thoughts of who I could've been. I could've been a rich girl with snob problems before I was recruited. I could've been a farm girl with the farmers tanlines. 

I entered the museum, pulling off my sunglasses. There was a sign as I entered. 

War Exhibit 
Straight ahead
New Exhibit

Didn't have to tell me twice. I walked forward and entered the war exhibit. I felt emotions wash over my body the second I walked in. There were so many things that took me back to the war. I took a deep breath, my curiousness getting the best of me. 

I looked at each exhibit, looking over every aspect of them.

It was of Steve and a man named Bucky. Childhood best friends. I analyzed his face. He looked so untouched in some images, and in others he just looked so lost. 

I continued on, reaching my exhibit. 

Cassiopeia Lea Shay was born February 10th, 1993. She was born in the small town of Marshville, Wisconsin. Her parents were Alexander Ray Shay and Beatrice Bella Shay. They were aged 18 and 15 when they had her. Her father was dishonorably discharged from the military at age 19 for murder of another soldier. He was sent to trial and found guilty. He was sentenced for life without parole.

I gasped. Sure, I've killed thousands of men and women, but they were evil with ill intentions. My biological father killed with no remorse. I continued reading.

The soldier he murder was found in pieces all over the S.S. Saratoga. When questioned, her father stated that he "wanted to play a game of Scavenger Hunt." 

I am the daughter of a mad man.

When the news was brought forth to the mother of Cassiopeia Shay, she killed herself in front of authorities, claiming she couldn't live without him. Cassiopeia Shay was aged 1 at the time and was put into child services. She was put into over 30 foster homes. She was unwanted due to her parents mental health's.

She was discovered at age 15 that she could manipulate the mind. She was taken into the government for tests and it was then discovered she could control minds, manipulate memories, and erase them. She could make people her puppets. 

She used her powers for good and took down thousands of people who were dangerous to the well being of others. 

Until one day, on a combat mission, she was blown from a land mine and her right leg was never found. She was taken to Tony Stark in the hopes of rehabilitation with a new leg so she could continue her enlistment in the army.
