Maria Morrell had run away from the battle at the hospital after seeing Henry. She kept thinking back to the argument that ended all between them.
Henry was trying to talk to Maria.
"Maria... please, listen to me... you gotta trust yourself more... have faith in yourself." said Henry.
"Yeah? Easy for you to say... I can't do it, Henry... I can't act on impulse again... I almost allowed the hostages to be killed!!! You could have saved them with all your powers, I'm not that strong." said Maria. Apparently, she was too stressed and tired to talk.
"E-easy for me to say? YOU'RE TALKING TO THE NOBODY OF MY FAMILY!!! My father, always respected by friend and foe alike... my mother, a fighter to the end... my sister Sasha, she has managed to find her place with her own people... BUT WHAT ABOUT ME? YOU THINK IT'S EASY TO BE SEEN JUST AS MAR-VELL'S SON? AS JUST A CARBON COPY OF MY FATHER?" said Henry, getting ticked off.
"STOP IT, HENRY!!!" yelled Maria getting angry as well. "If you think that, then you're a fuckin' moron!!!"
"SHUT UP, YOU GODDAMN--!!!" yelled Henry before they both noticed what they said.
Maria was shocked... how could she say this to the man she loved? Henry trembled. He was yelling at this beautiful girl who gave him a chance.
Maria then ran away, completely afraid and ashamed of herself. She turned a conversation into a very heated argument.
"Maria, wait..." said Henry, feeling guilt as well.
Back in the present, Maria headed for a bar. She then paid for a bottle of booze and instantly started drinking, feeling alone and useless.
"It's all my fault... if I just had listened to him instead of whine and complain..." said Maria sadly as she drank.
Then, she covered her face with shame and regret.
"No one can help me now..." whispered Maria.

A hand grabbed the bottle. "Short term solution. Seeking penance in the bottom of a bottle is not the way Milady." Holding it was a strong looking blonde man. "I know of you Miss. I am an ally of your mother's, and a fellow patriot who bears the name of Steven Rogers' alias...of a sort." He smiled at her. "I am Stefan, and...I do not wish to see one who bears the shield of our mutual heroes to falter so."
"Oh God, can you stop with the ponificating? We go out for one drink and..." A man sat there beside him. Oddly enough it looked like Steven strange, but his hands seemed to be steady and in working order. "Forgive my friend for being so forward. He...we DO work with your Mom. She kind of acts as our liason in your reality." He offered his hand. "Steven Strange...not the wizard. Never was one. This clown is Stefan Rogen, Knight America. His timeline reverted back to the Dark Ages. He kind of is a legacy hero."

"I... sorry... I have a lot going on in my mind right now." She then looked at the bottle and put it down. "Sorry... I just had... a bad love experience..." said Maria sadly. |

"No. But we know you. You were almost an Exile. But Clarice respected your need for privacy." Steven said to her. "And I have had...whew...tons of those. You tend to get used to it." He smiled as he recalled a few incidents.
"Forgive MY colleague. He lacks humility." Stefan said. "And yes, we almost added you to our roster. But we felt you going to the Web Warriors was a better call. By the way, we work int he same building." Stefan said. "Well you will see the Palace soon i wager."

I..." said Maria, not knowing what to say. "Thank you... I just... am at a loss for words." She looked at them and tilted her head. "So... if you know who I am... then you must know my father. Trying to avoid him 'cause he might fall in love with me instead of mother due to our... resemblance." said Maria. She then looked down a bit and thought about Henry. "Man... I really behaved like a bitch with him... he didn't deserve it... he was just trying to help." thought Maria aloud as she started tearing up. |

"...Hey, I am your kid. Don't try to kiss me. Seems a simple solution." Steven turned. "Not that I could blame a man for noticing your beauty."
"Don't. Lady has enough issues without an egomanical womanizer trying to pick her up." Walking up was another man, blonde and hairy.
"Wow Victor, wonderful that you came." Steven glared at Sabretooth, who sat down beside here. "With us, good guy, please don't hit him."

"Strange is right in one thing... you are beautiful." said Mariko Yashida, also known as Sunfire back in her reality. "It's good to finally meet you face to face, Maria." said Sage. |

"You keep in in your pants too Yashida." Creed sat there. "God...did we leave anyone with Clarice back at base?"
"Namora." Strange said. "She refused to come."
"I wonder why." Knight America said mockingly.

Knight America said mockingly. "Yeah, she wanted to stay there." said Sage. "You sure seem like a nice bunch to hang around with." said Maria. "Well, some of us more than others." said Mariko. Maria then glanced at all the Exiles. She was flattered by being considered by them to be a member, but she looked down a bit. She didn't feel like she deserved a position anywhere. Her insecurity kicks in once again. She then looks at her shield. Did she deserve to wield it? Why did she feel like she was unworthy? "I... I'm sorry... I... I..." said Maria before standing up and walking out. She cried as she walked out, leaving her shield behind. "Man... isn't this weird? She looks exactly like Peggy Carter, yet she is much more meek and sensitive... it's kind of a strange combination." said Mariko as she glanced at Maria walking out. Maria then sat on the alley near the bar and looked down. She huddled against the wall. "I don't deserve to be part of any team... I don't deserve the shield either..." said Maria. "If only I could be as strong as mother... as brave as father... but I never will be..." She then looked up. "Henry... I wish I could tell you that I'm sorry... but even then... we'll never be able to be together again." said Maria as she teared up. Sage looked at Maria from afar. "Poor child... she really is suffering." said Sage before turning to Knight America. "If only there was a way we could make her feel at ease with herself." |

"So accept the things you cannot change, and fix what you can."
Standing by her was another gentleman. With slicked back red hair. He looked a bit solemn. "My name is Raphael-Raven Darkholme, I too, am an Exile. Mystiq. I too know the loss of failure. It cost me my Irene, and my sweet child Anna." He knelt down beside her. "But if it is what you want...to be worthy of that shield, then know this: To stand in spite of pain and continue to do good IS that proof. This pain...you must conquer it. For it is in that bravery that heroes are made." He smiled at her. "Can you be that heroine Maria Morrell?"
-----------
"Raph is on it." Creed smiled. "Don't worry."

I want to be worthy... but I never will be... mother did so much with the shield... all I've done is shame it and undo all that she has done... I'm just such a failure... can't even get my love life straight." said Maria with regret. "I know I must conquer the pain... but it's so hard... I sometimes am so jealous of my friend Lisa... she is much better at conquering her pain than I am..." --- "Good... I really hope he can talk through to her." said Sage. "I wonder if I could have a chance with her." said Mariko. "She's so beautiful." |

"Take it from a shapeshifter, stop looking at being others. You try to be them, it's done, it's over. You are not Peggy Carter, this Lisa, Me....that homeless guy over there in the Dishwasher box." Mystiq pointed as a sleeping man. "You are you, try to find out who and what you are before you raise the bar. Make your mistakes, learn...and who knows...maybe that is how you learn you're totally wrong about not being worthy? I think you are, and I am a pretty good judge of character. Have to be. Part of the art is acting." He smiled.
--------
"Someone has her priorities i see." A blue and passed her a drink. "What did we miss?" Sitting there was Nocturne, Thunderbird and a man with a white streak in his head, fully suited.
"Magnus doing ok? And not much, recruiting Maria Morrell for the side of good." Creed asked.
"Being alive again...is taking time to adjust to." Magnus said.

I am worthy?" asked Maria with disbelief, feeling somewhat shocked that someone thought she was worthy. --- "Yeah... we're just trying to make the girl feel at home." said Sage. |

"The most important thing about being worthy is that the most worthy are from humble starts. Hercules once thought he was worthy, and that destroyed him. He is now because he fell and rose back up from it. And he was tricked by his Stepmom into doing terrible things to loved ones." Mystiq said to her. "I want to be worthy...because I want to make it up to my late wife and child. You, your parents and friends. Consider this our twelve labors then." He grinned.
---------
"Good. She needs that. I can tell." Thunderbird said.

I just feel that this shyness prevents me from being as great as other people..." said Maria. --- "Yes, we... hold it." said Sage as her glasses were lighting up. "Son-of-a-bitch... we're under attack." |
