            [ a weapon was drawn just as soon as she heard quiet footsteps press against the ground, walking alone at night was dangerous in a city where crime and intergalactic invasion ran rampant. lia’s head tilts, the setting the gun down— she’d seen her before, not face to face but swinging about the city. with a sharp exhale, she sets it back into her holster, eyes narrowing. ] please not that it would’ve mattered considering— [ she gestured to her in a circular motion, ] but you can’t sneak up on people like that. 

/  spider woman meets bad bitch malia wilson omg?? 

iii. when she graduated and got accepted into shield, her father pulled a few strings to make it so that she would do less work in the field, becoming the girl in the chair despite her skill set. he wanted to protect her, he said, but it only made her rebel, solving cases and going undercover whenever she could to help if the others were not up to the task. in silence they thanked her, but in front of her superiors they scolded her. that’s not the only secret she has. she wants to soar through the sky just the same, and she’s drafted up her suit. soon, malia wilson will don the name: braveheart. 

ii. the pressure was on for malia, the other students were under the impression that she’d got in because of her father so she worked twice as hard to prove she could belong. while others slept, she practiced her technical skills, studied mechanical sciences and becoming a skilled fighter— the test dummies and targets knew her mark well. she’d painted that school with bullets and sand from broken punching bags but she’d refused to be written off as another nepo baby. 

i. malia wilson is the daughter of sam wilson. when malia was young, she idolized the avengers and believed her father, being a veteran, was similar to them— a hero. growing up she watched him soar through the sky and wished she’d be able to do the same. she’d always been a fighter, and was taught self defense by her parents when she was a child. so, at the age of eighteen, she applied to shield academy behind his back and got accepted.
