If there was one thing that Elliot was good at doing, it was running.

Ever since she was a little girl, she had been running. Whether it be for her own survival, the wellbeing of others, or just for the hell of it, she ran.

It started when she was a young child living with her brother. It had always been obvious that her older brother, Bucky, was never suited to be the sole caretaker of her. He was a mere teenager himself. The type of boy that fawned over girls like they were nothing and would much more prefer to go out at night and hang out with others rather than spending a decent moment with his parents or little sister.

But then their parents had passed and the older boy couldn't bring himself to part with the young girl, so he took up the responsibility of taking care of her.

And with that, many issues followed.

A neighbor had reported the siblings to the authorities, claiming that they hadn't seen the two individuals' parents in a long time. So when the authorities came and took Elliot away from her brother, she took the first opportunity that she got...and she ran.

After that, her and her brother had always been on the run from the cops in Brooklyn. They never stayed in one place too long before they were up and moving to a different place.

Bucky then turned eighteen.

That seemed to be the calm before the storm. The two siblings thought that everything was going to be okay for the two of them. Bucky was now legally able to take care of Elliot, who was only eight at the time, ten years younger than her big brother.

And for a while it was.

The two spent six blissful years together. Most of the time they were accompanied by Bucky's best friend and the man that Elliot viewed as an older brother, Steve Rogers. The trio had always been seen together, even though the girl was drastically younger than them. They spent their time going parties, more like sneaking into some of them. Other times, the two young adults would drag Elliot to the conventions that had happened—one of the most memorable ones being the one that took place in 1943 in celebration of her brother getting assigned to a regiment.

As much as it broke her heart to watch her brother leave and then soon after Steve, she was happy for them. But when he was claimed as dead, she didn't know what to do with herself, so she ran.

Elliot had made her way to a different Burrow of New York, not wanting to spend a moment longer in the place she had grown up, where memories were abundant of her big brother.
