Finding Family || closed starter for @selfmademechanic
Alina Starkova was only in America because she’d convinced the orphanage that she was able to be on her own. And they didn’t really care, because there were too many orphans in the orphanage anyways. She made her way to America, surviving on the small inheritance from her mother. She found a hostel to stay at, in a sketchy part of Queens, New York. It was cheap, and she didn’t really have a lot of possessions, so she wasn’t afraid of anything being stolen.
She spent most of her days at the library, trying to figure out how she could find her father. She didn’t want to pay for a DNA test, because they were expensive and she wasn’t making any money. After all, who wanted to hire a minor?
It took time, but she was able to make friends with some of the library frequents, and they offered to sponsor a test for her. Only, the results were nothing that she expected. At all. But her mother certainly had a sense of humour. Alina Starkova was the daughter of Anthony Stark.
Well, what better way to find him then to show up in the lobby of Avengers Tower and ask to see him.
