Redress (n.) remedy or compensation for a wrong or grievance. Margaery Alvarez Morozov. Head of the Annihilators. Assassin. Billionaire. CEO. She's the adopted daughter of Alexei, former Pakhan of the New York Bratva, and Alexandra, former head of the Annihilators. She's a legend in the underworld. One of the most powerful woman. She rescues trafficking victims and dismantles trafficking rings. Her life was going perfect. She finally had loving parents. A doting sister. And all the power she ever yearned for. But, it's always at the pinnacle of glory when the breaking point comes. For Margaery, it was a mistake by her soldiers that lead her right back to those who wronged her. The Cosa Nostra. Or more accurately the underboss, Alessandro Romano. Her biological father. And a family of four brothers and a twin sister. She hated them with everything in her. Why? Because they had blamed her for the death of her mother while giving birth to her. Because they had neglected, abused and abandoned her in hell. And, now they wanted forgiveness. Margaery had plans and forgiving wasn't one of them. But, when someone from her wretched past comes back to destroy her present, with her heart at stake, Margaery must fight all over again for herself and everyone she held dear. Because if she doesn't, she isn't sure she'll survive this time.

I felt the push of the first impact, from just mentally reaching out to it fifty feet away, knock me a few steps back as I mentally latched onto the hood, pushing on it with metal telekinesis, my jaw clenched from effort. But the semi was barely slowing down. I backed up slowly as it came closer, the force of it slowly pushing me back, my feet digging into the concrete road. Time slowly started to speed up back to normal as I lost concentration. Behind me, two cars, stunned by the sight of the semi, came flying towards each other, and towards the school bus; the counterproductive response of the drivers was making my job all the harder. "Humans," I cursed, and flung the cars across the intersection like pucks on ice to a safe distance, breaking their gas tanks away before their cars could feed them sparks. I focused all my energy on stopping the semi. Soon, it registered that I wasn't going to be able to halt it completely, so I threw the truck driver and his seat out onto the sidewalk. Planted in the middle of the intersection, using the magnetokinesis as an anchor on the lampposts, I took a deep breath.
