"I'm not a hero. I'm just what's left after the heroes don't show up." Alexandra Nadya Petrovna never asked to be a weapon. Stolen from her childhood and forged in Hydra's shadows, she escaped only to be thrown into another kind of cage - a broken foster home and a life of bruises, secrets, and loneliness. By day, she's a sarcastic, sharp-tongued fifteen-year-old who hides her pain behind humor. By night, she is The Revenant - a ghost in the streets, feared by criminals and hunted by S.H.I.E.L.D. When the Avengers discover her, Alex is forced into a battle not only for her place in their world, but for her own fractured soul. She wants to be normal, but she's too dangerous. She wants to belong, but trust comes harder than combat. And just as she begins to find happiness, tragedy strikes - leaving the world mourning The Revenant. But ghosts don't always stay dead. ------------ I only own the main character, all others are credited to Marvel. ------------ Warning ; This book will contain things like: -violence and injury -child abuse / abuse -addiction / substance abuse -self-harm/suicide -death -psychological trauma -bullying Please take these warnings into consideration before reading, and take care of yourself.
