-X-23's POV-

Ever since X-23 was born, she lived underground, kept like a caged animal as all sorts of tests and experiments were performed on her.

Using the DNA of Wolverine, Dr. Martin Sutter headed the project to implant X-23's mother with a meta-human child, though she never met her mother.

X-23's earliest memory is the day that one of the female scientists unlocked her cell and rushed her out of the facility under the cover of darkness.

She could still remember how infinitely excited she was to see the outside world for the first time. The sky, trees, dirt, grass, and the smell of fresh air were an absolute shock to someone who lived their entire life trapped in a windowless bunker.

Sadly, their little trip outside of the facility didn't last long, as seconds after their departure, alarms sounded and men with guns came chasing after them.

As they drove down the dirt path away from the bunker, two blacked-out Escalades blocked the path and before X-23 knew what was happening, an expertly shot bullet tore through the windshield and hit the scientist in the chest.

Instantly, the woman lost control of the car and crashed into some nearby bushes.

After the crash, X-23 turned to see the scientist coughing blood and looking in her direction with feelings of both regret and love.

"Your name... is Laura Kinney..." The woman coughed out as she smiled weakly. "I'm so sorry-"

Before she could finish talking, a man in uniform walked up to the driver's side window, pulled out his pistol, and put a single bullet in her head.

As X-23 watched this happen, she noticed a badge on the woman's white lab coat with a name labeled under her smiling picture.

[Sarah Kinney]

"Mom?" X-23 muttered in disbelief as she looked up to see the life drain from her bloody mother's face.

...

After that day, the security around X-23 was upgraded, though that wasn't all.

The experiments that she was forced to undergo turned much crueler as well.

It was as if her mother's presence kept the more sadistic scientists at bay, and without her there, they started to run wild.

They did everything from cutting her skin and beating her black and blue, to making her drink acid and infecting her with horrible diseases, all in hopes of finding the secret of her immense regeneration ability.

Of course, as she was a subject of the Weapon X program, they also began her training as a killer, hoping to turn her into a beast that would slaughter anyone at the slightest instruction.

...

Four years passed since the death of her mother, and X-23's life has been nothing but loneliness and pain.

One day, while Laura, as she liked to call herself in private, was sitting alone in her dark cell, alarms started to sound as men and woman rushed back and forth in the hallway.

Seconds after the alarm went off, Laura was dragged from her cell in a hurry and thrown into a car.

Although she had no idea what was happening, the gunfire and explosions that filled the air told her something big was going down.

Though thanks to her increased security and a secret backdoor exit, Laura was evacuated before any intruders could get to her.

Seconds later, a big golden portal opened up and a masked man in a spidery costume stepped out.

They talked for a moment before another portal opened out of nowhere.

"Alright, I'll get them out of here." The spidery man said. "You can go to the next location..."

As the bald man left through the portal, the masked spider guy said some words before ripping open her cell door like it was made of paper.

Feeling threatened, Laura pounced out of her open cage and slashed her bony claws at him, as she did whenever anyone came near her.

As if he were dealing with a toddler, the masked guy countered her attack with ease and stood there as she screamed and clawed at him, not doing a single speck of damage in the process.

"It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you." He said reassuringly as she came to realize how futile her struggle was and gave up.

'Compared to this guy, the metal arm idiot was a pushover...' Laura thought as her built-up adrenaline disappeared and she toppled over.

The last thing that Laura could remember was the smell of the invincible man, who took her into his arms before she could hit the floor.

-Flashback End-

-Peter's POV-

After dropping off all of the meta-humans at Xaviers School for gifted children, Peter returned to the mission at hand.

'I wonder how Hydra got their hands on X-23?' Peter thought.

Peter knew that Wolverine's daughter was created in an attempt to redo the Weapon X program, which Wolverine escaped from.

'Was Hydra involved with that program as well?' Peter questioned as he worked his way through a hostile Shield base. 'Or did my involvement with Meta-humans somehow change her life's trajectory?'

Saving these questions for later, Peter concentrated on the problem in front of him.

Shield.

One by one, Peter captured base after base, while simultaneously shuttling Avengers back and forth over and over.

Some bases surrendered easily after either a brief conversation or a show of force, and others went into full battle mode.

Peter found it amusing how the people you wouldn't expect always wound up being Hydra agents.

In one building, Peter found a sweet old librarian, who kept track of some physical records for that base.

At first, she seemed about as kind and loving as a grandmother could get, though the second she realized what Peter was there for, she pulled out an assault rifle from behind her desk and started spraying.

'Hydra really is everywhere...'

Of course, not all bases were as simple as capturing everyone inside.

Some of them needed a bit of extra care, like the base he found X-23 in.

Out of the 93 bases, around 20 of them held some sort of captives, which weren't approved by Fury.

Meta-human or otherwise, though they were mostly meta-humans, who seemed to be used for experimentation and possible indoctrination into Hydra.

Speaking of meta-human indoctrination...

"Hail Hydra!" A man whose body was covered in flames screamed fanatically as he jutted his hand forward, shooting beams of fire in Peter's direction.
