So long story short I have what I call Super Stealth Power or SSP. This means I can make myself disapear but not fully. I can turn into a one dimensional shadow on the wall, kinda like Peter Pan's shadow in Peter Pan when it's not sewn onto his feet. It's called an idependant shadow.

This means wherever light is present I can hide, and you can't fight a shadow because they do not have mass or matter and just an obstruction of light

This means wherever light is present I can hide, and you can't fight a shadow because they do not have mass or matter and just an obstruction of light. That being said I can also change my form as a shadow to appear as just about anything, whether a shadow of a dog or of a broom.

Once upon a time, believe it or not, I was once a normal person who lived somewhat of a normal life, just my dad and I. I didn't always have powers; I wasn't born with them, more like I was cursed with them. . . However after the freakish event giving me my powers, everything between my dad and I changed.

All of this started right before my dad and Banner succeeded in building Ultron, the rogue robot. (in my opinion it was my dad's fault and not Banners) I had overheard Banner and my dad talking about Ultron, so I decided to ask him about it. While Banner was not there, I went into his lab, where he was neck deep in tech stuff, trying to program Ultron.

"Hey Dad... what's up?" I asked nervously

"Nothing, just genius stuff. Is there something that you wanted?" Tony answered back without looking up from his work.

"I-"

"Done. Tell Pepper your allowance has been raised" he interupted

"No...dad...I..."

"Fine. We can remodel your room, I just can't talk about it right now."

"No Dad! Thats not what I was gonna ask"

"What? What do you want then? You can clearly see the genius is at work." Tony screamed back at me.

"Dad I just want to help you, or at least learn from you. I know about project Ultron. It sounds absolutely amazing!"

"Y/N NO ONE CAN KNOW ABOUT THIS! Please leave now, its too dangerous for you."

"OR IS IT BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS PERIOD! OR DANGEROUS BECUASE YOU ARE GOING BEHING THE AVENGERS BACKS? EITHER WAY I DON'T CARE I JUST WANT TO HELP YOU OR AT LEAST JUST SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU. EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS STUPID MISSION YOU HAVE ISOLATED YOURSELF FROM EVERYONE...and me. Why?"

Tony went silent.

"Why? ANSWER ME!! WHY DAD!!!!! I LOVE YOU AND YOU ARE THE BEST DAD IN THE WORLD! DO YOU JUST HATE ME OR SOMETHING OR AM I JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH? OH YEAH I GET IT! I AM JUST THE SHADOW OF TONY STARK AND THATS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU! I NOT SMART ENOUGH, WITTY ENOUGH, CREATIVE ENOUGH TO BE NOTICED BY YOU!!" I screamed in anguish

What I hadn't realized is during this conversation, my dad had subconsciously, or maybe the staff had a certain power over people, picked up Loki's staff.

"MAYBE YOU ARE! LEAVE NOW YOUNG LADY!" he said and struck me with a power blast from the staff.

I don't remember much after, everything kinda just went black. Natasha later told me that the blast had gotten everybodies attention and that they rushed into the lab. She said that my dad said the staff had malfunctioned causing a blast in the room. Steve carried me out to the med center. I was in a coma for about 3 months and when I woke up, I asked where my dad was. Pepper and Steve were there and told me he had to leave on business. I don't think I saw him at all for five months after that.

After that my powers slowly started to develope, much to my horror. At first I couldn't control them and I may have went missing for about a week...or at least spent a week as a shadow around the avengers tower trying to get the other attention as they were frantically searching ror me.

I guess the mind stone in Loki's staff revealed my dad's real thoughts of me: nothing more than a shadow, something so trival that it's not to be noticed.

I was and kinda still am ashamed of my power so I keep it hidden from everyone. I have to say that it does come in pretty handy when pranking people or trying to steal the last ice cream cookie sandwhich before Thor realizes and then blames it on Banners.
