- IF THEY HAD WANTED TO BE KIND, THEY WOULD HAVE NEVER BROUGHT HER BACK FROM THE DEAD. Very shortly after her first breath had come her last. A glimpse of the world, she'd only gotten, as her organs started shutting down, her lungs struggling to keep up with the horrors that were promised to a being as fragile as she was - no longer protected by her mother's womb. A sharp inhale, a small gurgle, a slight squeeze of her mighty fist wrapped around a slender finger ; that was all she had to give the world before Death stole her breath and called her back to a realm that would be far kinder than anything she could experience here. No sorrow but a mother's accompanied her as her lungs failed and her breathing slowed. And when her corpse had been ripped from the only loving embrace she would ever know and passed around to greedy opportunists who poked and prodded at the most vulnerable mankind had to offer, no one mourned. There were only their dejected sighs at the sight of an accident turned experiment that had failed to generate anything substantial. And when her head collided with the bottom of a metallic bin, everyone had given up on her... ...until determined scientists willing to play God had injected her with the accursed substance so many of their soldiers had dies for. Her lungs mended, her broken bones re-assembled like pieces of a puzzle, her heart started beating again - only the smallest dose had done the impossible. And while the child would never be anything but a weapon, an opportunity for the Red Room and HYDRA was reborn.
