Zydrate Anatomy | MCU

Needles, serums, guns, and violence; all the hallmarks of her childhood, everything that raised her, shaped her, marked her. The laboratory they formed her in personified, cracked and scarred.

Angry and violent, that is who she is. Raised voices and sharp hands moulded her, so raised voices and sharp hands are all she knows. If someone could mellow her out, she'd only describe it as a miracle, or maybe not. Without her anger, without her punches, she doesn't know who she'd be. Maybe she wouldn't be anyone.

And so, when that person comes along, when someone finally tries to undo what has been drilled into her, she has to decide whether it's worth it, whether it's worth losing everything she's known as herself for so long to maybe become someone else, someone better.
