One thing Mazzy Stark has always found peculiar is how her scraped knees always seem to heal within a few measly seconds while the other kids have scabs over their knees for several days. Her dad always says it's medicine, but Mazzy isn't so sure about that. It isn't until Mazzy is faced with a familiar metal-armed man that she begins to realize that it isn't medicine that makes her the way she is; it is a little, red star and a man with a crooked smile. • ⚠️ This book has mature themes, like anything else you might see in a typical Marvel movie.⚠️ Updates set in Captain America: Civil War.

Needles, serums, guns, and violence; all the hallmarks of her childhood, everything that raised her, shaped her, marked her. The laboratory they formed her in personified, cracked and scarred. Angry and violent, that is who she is. Raised voices and sharp hands moulded her, so raised voices and sharp hands are all she knows. If someone could mellow her out, she'd only describe it as a miracle, or maybe not. Without her anger, without her punches, she doesn't know who she'd be. Maybe she wouldn't be anyone. And so, when that person comes along, when someone finally tries to undo what has been drilled into her, she has to decide whether it's worth it, whether it's worth losing everything she's known as herself for so long to maybe become someone else, someone better. #1 in #jamesrhodes, November 2025 #1 in #peterparker, November 2025 updates set in avengers: age of ultron published: 1/09/2025 finished: ??
