At great cost to her friend Kim, Kelly's sanity was restored and the corruption wrought by the N'Garai DNA was stripped away.. but there was barely enough left of Kelly to fill a paper bag and she died at the Arcanum. Much to everyone's surprise - not least her own - Kelly dug herself out of a grave several weeks later and found that she was still at Kim's sanctum. Hidden away from the world, Kelly struggled for months to fully recuperate and find some way to come to terms with the things she had done. As a former police officer Kelly believed herself to posses a strong sense of justice but now she simply could not reconcile her past with her judgement. Was justice best served by a final death? A lifetime of imprisonment? Or did she still have something more to offer? Under the guidance of those she had tried to kill just months before, Kelly finally decided to surrender to SHIELD and leave her fate to them. Unknowingly she did so at a time when the Avengers were at a low point of their own and her desire to find some way to make amends was believed by at least one person at the agency and she was provisionally drafted in to bolster their numbers under the watchful eye of Captain America and her sponsor, Agent Morse. Her time in the Avengers was short lived, however, and when the group was disbanded Kelly willingly - though not happily - returned herself to SHIELD custody and has remained there ever since. Hobbies: Working on her car, working out, street racing. Likes: Strawberry milkshakes, jogging on the beach, cars, drinking. Dislikes: Karaoke, magic, vampires, drinking. Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual, with a but. A hot but! Her time with Ludmilla and the many twisted things they did together means she can hardly claim to be heterosexual, but those experiences are something she is keen to file under P for Past. Relationship With Family: None to speak of. As a former NYPD police officer she was proudly following in her father's footsteps until the day she confirmed her fears that she was a mutant. Officially she died that day, and her parents have never had a reason to believe otherwise. Her father died in the five years she was imprisoned and she was privately glad that her old man never learned the truth about his daughter before he passed. With Friends: In one word - grateful. Kelly's friends did their best to help her when she was under the influence of Ludmilla and many stuck by her even after the terrible things she did, though not all have lived to see her recovery. Now Kelly considers herself extremely lucky to have any friends left at all, and would do anything for them. Notes: Kelly amassed considerable wealth and a trunk full of gadgets while under Ludmilla's influence, with safe houses and weapons caches secreted in every corner of the globe. She even had a stolen UAV Predator at her disposal, referenced in her SHIELD file as "Mr Grimm". However, in the interests of full disclosure, the location of every safe house and bank account was surrendered to SHIELD and emptied. Stolen property was returned and most of her gadgets have been locked away. Only her Kukri, forged from the Atlantean blade stolen from Xein, remain out of SHIELDs reach. |
