Vienna Stark grew up privileged.
Big house. Famous last name. A billionaire father who would do anything to keep her safe.
Then her dad became Iron Man.
At eight years old, she stood on the sidelines during the Battle of New York... until one moment changed everything.
Vienna spotted Loki's scepter lying unattended, glowing and unguarded, she reached for it. the Mind Stone reached for her back.
Everyone thought she was fine. She passed out, woke up, was fine.
But then the headaches started.
And then the voices.
Bruce Banner ran the tests because Tony didn't trust anyone else.
"Tony... her conscious processing speed is a hundred times normal. Her brain's lit up like the Fourth of July. If you'd taken her to a hospital, S.H.I.E.L.D. would've locked her in a holding cell."
From that moment, Tony Stark swore to protect her.
By fourteen, Vienna's powers are spiraling.
She can hear every thought around her, absorb and manipulate energy, and move objects with her mind. Her brain runs at lightning speed - a hundred times faster than anyone else's. It's exhausting. It's isolating. And it's slowly tearing her apart.
And then the Sokovia Accords are introduced. Registration. Government control.
For Tony, it's a tipping point. Wanda's powers killed innocent people in Lagos - and Vienna could be next if she loses control. Signing means she's protected... but it also means she becomes government property.
It's a choice between control and freedom.
Between safety and trust.
Vienna Stark never asked for greatness.
But the Mind Stone chose her.
From here on in, history has its eyes on her.
