Laura Kinney's life ended in one world and began in another. Gifted three extraordinary wishes by a cosmic being, she is reborn in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the powers of Wolverine, enhanced by a Vibranium skeleton and claws, an immunity to pain, and an unparalleled healing factor that ensures her survival even at the atomic level.
But this is no ordinary second chance-Laura finds herself dropped centuries before the events of the MCU. The world is raw, unshaped by the heroes and villains she knows will one day rise. For the first time, she feels a spark of excitement. She has time to prepare, to build, and to thrive in ways no one else could.
Determined to carve out her own path, Laura uses her knowledge of the future and her extraordinary abilities to exploit untapped resources and build an empire. From the discovery of rare materials to innovating technologies far ahead of their time, she establishes a powerful company that grows alongside history itself. By the time Stark Industries and Oscorp make headlines, Laura's corporation is already a silent giant, controlling industries, shaping economies, and setting the stage for her eventual return to the world's spotlight.
As decades turn into centuries, Laura hones her skills, amasses wealth, and prepares for the challenges she knows will come. From Hydra's rise to Thanos's invasion, she plans to be ready. But as the world changes and new players emerge, Laura must decide how much to reveal, how much to interfere, and whether she can keep the timeline intact while ensuring her survival and the safety of those she comes to care about.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
