My name's Grace Newman, and for almost 16 years I've lived in a society where everything is perfect, equality is strict, and freedom is just some dream. 30 years ago a new president took over. President McCoy. He invented a chemical that he can use to control you, and used it on the government. Now, he is doing it to civilians. We have a rule that when you turn 16 you get "transferred" with this chemical, and become brainwashed as well. Everyone else is ok with it, but I'm not like everyone else. Since the day I could talk I disagreed with our terms. People called me crazy but I thought I was the only sane person here. There have been rumors, rumors of a place outside our city. Where everything is the way it was before. And then I met someone-a boy. A boy who also doesn't agree with the terms, and he's agreed to help get us both out of here. But as we grow closer together, I feel we're getting TOO close... But I will not let the government control me. Not now, not EVER. And for almost 16 years I've lived in torment, not fighting back. But that's about to change...
Hi my name's Blake Henderson. I don't agree with our government's terms, and for years I've worked to find a way out of here. But the governing has our walls loaded with guards, and they will do whatever it takes to keep you in. I've worked in going alone, but now I had to change my plans because a met a girl, and her name is Grace. She also doesn't agree with the terms, and now we are working together to get out of this place. But now that we know each other more, I feel like we're becoming more than friends, and I think she feels the same way.But we WILL leave-together. And no matter what happens, we will stick together till we reach the other side. That is... If we do make it to the other side... But now our plans have changed, people have come into our lives, including Peter Parker and Makayla Stark, and we need to defeat McCoy once and for all. After 16 years of control-it will finally be his turn.

Heaven forbid the wrong person finds this journal. If something is to ever happen to us, I want you to know the truth.
Your father and I are agents for a secret government organization called S.H.I.E.L.D.. My hope is that you will never become involved in their affairs. Our mission is to protect the world. Save lives.
We were sent on a mission about a month ago to take down a Hydra base. You should have learned about them in history, but they are our enemies. Very few remain. With luck, by the time you are reading this, Hydra will be wiped off of the face of the earth for good. During our mission, we came across Hydra's experimentation on a baby. They had not gotten very far with their experiments and the two year old was still perfectly healthy and fully human. We took the baby back to S.H.I.E.L.D with us.
As agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., your father and I have always known that we would never be able to settle down and raise a family. Of course we always have wanted children of our own, but being sent on missions every few months, it would be inconvenient and troublesome. But when we found the baby, we knew that she was our chance at having a family.
That baby was you, Petra.
You gave us the chance to be parents. I pray that you will never have to read this, and that your father and I will be able to tell you ourselves, but I know that in our line of work, there is a chance that we may be gone.
You are a blessing in our lives and we love you very much.
Love,
Mary Parker
