Everyone knows of the Black Widows, but very few know of the Red Thorn. "Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe she exists, those who do call her the Red Thorn. She is a ghost story, even to my own agents. I can count the amount of people who know her true identity on one hand." The first fifteen chapters or so will be Red's place withing the MCU up until Civil War, that is where the timeline starts to really diverge from that of the MCU, with no Thanos and Infinity Wars. My true Marvel Nerd comes out in this story with loads of difference references and cameos from my favourite characters. TRIGGER WARNING: This story does touch sensitive subjects such as Eating Disorders, Self Harm Severe PTSD. I have taken the time to consider whether or not to put trigger warnings at the beginning of such chapters, but it is a common theme throughout the story as it is a big part of what makes Red, well, Red, so I have decided to put this one here to explain that if these are subjects you are sensitive to, I believe it in your best interest not to read. Just in case. One final disclaimer, I do not own any of the Marvel characters, only Red and a few others that depend entirely on her story. With that, enjoy!
