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!
Cassidy Martin didn't ask for any of this, and she doesn't want it.
Her powers came to her by an accident, a fluke, and now they're threatening to ruin her life. But she can control metal now. She can turn invisible. She can fly. And she has no idea what to do about it.
When Cassidy stumbles into the world of the Avengers, she has two choices. She can run from herself, or she can embrace what she is. And maybe along the way she can teach another lost soul to embrace himself as well.
Loki.
He was sure he was a villain, then he wasn't quite sure what he was, and now he may only be sure of her. But what is sure is that something much bigger than all of them is threatening the home they love, and its name is Thanos.
So, she now has the superpowers and the Avengers at her back, but don't be fooled.
Cassidy Martin is no hero. She couldn't even save herself.
A/N: This story takes place a few months after the events of Civil War, and right after Ragnarok (so before Infinity War). This story is in a lot of ways my replacement to Infinity War.
