Age Of Miracles

For some one who has always been on the move, I'm surprised I finally found a stable home. Or as stable as it could get when you have the infamous Anthony Edward Stark as your older brother.
I guess I should start from the beginning. Probably wondering who I am, right? Well I did say who I was related to. Stark. My name is Marie Margaret Stark. Daughter of Howard Stark and Maria Collins Carbonell. At the beginning i didn't go by the name of Stark. I went by Lehnsherr. I didn't know who my family was. Not until Tony found me. Until he explained who I really was. I was named after my mother, and also a close friend of my father. Margaret 'Peggy' Carter.
Anyways I never got to meet my parents. They were both murdered by Hydra. Well that is what Tony claims. They were on their way to some place in Road Island, New York. I was with them at the time of their murder. I guess the Hydra goones thought every one for dead. But they were mistaken.
A man rescued me though. I owe my life to him. He took me in, and raised me as his own kin. In a way, i suppose. We lived in a rather comfortable home in Bayville, New York. Erik, the man who rescued me from my doom, and a woman by the name of Raven did more than raise me. They were my mentors. They trained me. They helped me control these unique powers that I seem to possess. Thanks to the X-Gene. Well that's what Raven calls it. I can mold, bend, control the earth (dirt) at my will. I can manipulate the air around me, as well as the plants and their poisons. I am one with nature. Growing up with Erik wasn't easy at times. He doesn't like humans. I mean non mutants, like us. He sees them as a threat to our kin. Our brothers and sisters. Most mutants don't see eye to eye with Erik though. Thinking it wrong. But I understand him. I know of his past, I know of the pain he carries, the damage that has been done to him. Erik Lehnsherr was no heartless man either. At least in my eyes. At times, he's take me on trips. Trips to a place called Sokovia. At first I didn't know why he's go to Sokovia. It didn't seem like a special place. When we'd go there, he never socialize with anyone, so what was the point of being here?
Well me being a child, I'd often run off to the nearest park and play with the Sokovian kids. After I meat a certain boy though, that's when I understood our trips to Sokovia.
I was playing at the park, kicking my ball around, just playing by myself.
I accidentally kicked the ball to far away from where I was, a boy around my age took my ball and ran off with it. "Hey that's mine!!" I yelled out to him and chased after what belonged to me. The boy was quick though, so I used my powers unnoticed. I made a small part of a soft rock poke out from the ground, causing the boy to trip over. When he hit the floor with a thud, I quickly ran up to my ball and grabbed it.
"Bet you didn't see that coming" I said mockingly to the boy as I stuck out my tongue. The boy winced in pain and he slowly sat up and held onto his scaraped knee. "I was just playing around" he said with his cute Sokovian accent. I childishly puffed out my cheeks and replied. "well you could have asked". I stuck out my hand towards him, and when he grabbed it I helped him up to his feet. "does it hurt? You'll be fine" I mumbled. I took the chance to take a good look at him. He had short blond hair, almost looking snow white. He has pretty electric blue eyes, and a pale complection. "Do you want to play with me?" I asked shyly. Suddenly feeling timid in front of this kid. He grinned. "Da! Can my sister play too?" He asked eagerly. I laughed as I nodded my head. "Im Marie Margaret Lehnsherr!" I introduced myself. "Im Pietro Maximoff, and my twin sister is Wanda, now come on, let's for find her!" He took my ball and held it with his right arm, and grabbed my worst with his left and he took off running.
Ever since then, we'd go visit Sokovia for 2 weeks. And in those 2 weeks, you would most likely find me playing with the Maximoff twins. I remember at the age of 9, Pietro gave me a purple Dog Rose, saying it was a thank you gift for being friends with him and his sister.
With my powers, I was able to preserve the flower and make it into a bracelet. A bracelet I would always have on. Even after the incident.
Sokovia was being bombarded, and I couldn't find the twins. I noticed Erik looking worried. Erik never liked non mutants, so why worry for my friends?"
Back in Bayville I asked him. Why was he so concerned?
"They are just like you. Your brothers and sisters" I looked at him with a baffled expression. How did he know? In the years I've known them, they hadn't showed me anything. But then again, I also kept my powers a secret.
Erik gave me a hard look. He hesitated, but spoke up.
"Wanda and Pietro. They are my biological children".
