Fanart of Felicity Stark

## History

### Early History

When Felicity was little, her cousin Tony came to take her away from her abusive parents. Shortly after, Tony was kidnapped in Afghanistan. When Tony returned and began the Avengers Initiative with S.H.I.E.L.D, Felicity wanted to join, despite her age. Of course, Tony didn't let her at the time. However, Felicity's age didn't get her down. She trained hard so that one day she could become an Avenger with Tony, because all she wanted in the world was to be able to protect him and the rest of the world. When she was about to turn 12, Tony sent Felicity on what he thought would be a small mission with Steve Rogers. On this trip, Felicity and Steve became extremely close while searching for Steve's lost friend, Bucky Barnes. The mission ended up being much bigger than they could have possibly imagined, but Felicity came out on the other side of it, and from then on was trusted by all of the Avengers to stand her ground.

### Sokovia

During Ultron's attack in Sokovia, Felicity was sent in as a last resort because the Avengers needed help with getting civilians out of the city. Felicity was in the heart of the city when Ultron's bots attempted to topple a building over on Felicity. Although she managed to run from the building, some of the rubble landed on her. While trapped, Tony and some civilians hurried over to help her out. As she managed to escape, Tony eagerly checked on his cousin while she was thanking the Sokovians in Russian. It was then that Ultron's bots sent a bomb into another building, which fell on 23 civilians.

After Sokovia, neither Felicity nor Tony could forgive themselves for what happened. Tony disappeared for a bit afterwards, which worried Felicity; but it strengthened her relationship with Steve. She looked to him like a father, which was why she would choose to stick with him though anything.

### Civil War

Just before the beginning of the Avengers' Civil War, Felicity went on a mission with Steve, Wanda, Natasha, and Sam to Lagos. There, Wanda accidentally sent a bomb into a nearby building, thus triggering the events that would lead up to the Civil War. Felicity took Steve's side, and ran to Europe with him before Secretary Ross could stop them. During Peggy Carter's funeral, the United Nations meeting was blown up. Nervous about her cousin's wellbeing, Felicity flew to Vienna to see Tony. When she got there, he told her to run and stay with Steve, no matter what because Secretary Ross was filing for her arrest. On the way out of the country, Felicity's powers flare up, and she passes out.

When she wakes up, Felicity's alone and unsure of where she is. When Steve and Sam return, they tell her that they found Bucky, and that they have him. They know that Bucky's innocent, and in an attempt to prove it, they need to find the guy responsible. In order to do that, however, they must leave through Germany. They call in support and make their way to the airport in an attempt to flee, however, they are stopped by Tony and his team.

During the fight at the German airport, Felicity and her friends meet Spider-Man, and he is the one who captures her under Tony's orders. Left with no option but to flee without Felicity and his other friends, Steve gets Bucky on a quinjet and they fly away. As their racing away from the scene, Rhodey, Sam, and Vision chase after them. While trying to stop Sam from getting to Rhodey, Vision accidentally attacks Rhodey, sending him crashing into the ground.

Though all of Felicity's friends were captured after the battle in Germany and sent to the RAFT, Felicity was sent home. There, Tony explained that he negotiated a deal with Secretary Ross that would keep Felicity out of the RAFT. In order to keep her safe and out of prison, Tony got Secretary Ross to agree to sending Felicity back to her parents in Queens, New York. She is not allowed to have contact with Steve, Bucky, or Tony. She is going to be sent back, practically alone. Devestated by this news, Felicity burns the bridge that held together hers and Tony's relationship-- but at the last minute, to try to cheer Felicity up, Tony gives her another suit, since she's no longer allowed to have her Selestra suit.

### New York

After being sent back to live with her parents in Queens, New York, Felicity discovered that Steve had successfully cleared Bucky's name, but he was unable to come get her, seeing as he was now a fugitive on the run. Felicity reluctantly understood and attempted to make the best of her situation, though she quickly finds out that her cousin sent Spider-Man to keep an eye on her, which she was very unhappy about.

When Felicity started school at Midtown School of Science and Technology, she met Liz Allan, and they became extremely close. Liz was Felicity's first friend her age, and the first person she met at her new school. As such, Felicity ended up being dragged into the Decathlon club with Liz. There, she met Michelle Jones, Peter Parker, and Ned Leeds. While Felicity didn't immediately click with any of the other students, she was later partnered up with Peter for a school assignment, which brought them closer. Felicity offered to go to Peter's house to work, when they discovered that they live in the same apartment building.

Later that day, Steve comes to visit Felicity before leaving again. Felicity begs him to take her with him, but he refuses. He thinks that a new life like this one could be good for Felicity. All he wants in life is to know that she's safe and that she has a good life. He knows that if she goes with him, she'll never have either of those things. In their final goodbye to each other, Steve gives Felicity a burner phone from Wakanda that she can use to call him in the case of an emergency.

When Felicity went over to Peter's house to work on the project, she met May Parker, Peter's aunt. There is an extreme tension between both Felicity and Peter, yet she can't quite put her finger on why. She wonders if he hates or is just infatuated with her because she was an Avenger. Upon reading his mind, Felicity realizes that Peter has a crush on her. And that night, Felicity has a nightmare, much like the ones Tony had after Ultron. Seeking some kind of comfort, Felicity goes to Peter's room and they talk about it. She explains that while sometimes it's a blessing to have telepathy, other times it's a curse. When she was young, before she could control her powers, she would accidentally read Tony's mind while she was asleep. She would see his nightmares about New York, and they would then haunt her. Since then, she had learned to control her powers, but sometimes, when something tolling had just occurred, her powers would slip and she would read his mind again while asleep. This happened after Ultron when Tony couldn't stop having nightmares about all of the Avengers dying and blaming him. His nightmare had since become hers. So, in an effort to console Felicity, he offered up his bed for the night, and he would sleep on the floor. Felicity slept soundly after that.

The next day, Tony comes to visit Felicity under seemingly innocent circumstances, however, Felicity figures out that Secretary Ross sent him in order to find out where Steve went. However, Felicity didn't have that information, making Tony's trip to see her pointless... But it wasn't. While Felicity really wanted to hate her cousin, she couldn't. She couldn't bear to think that he was the only blood left that mattered to her, and she had pushed him away. So they made up.

Later, Liz decides to host a party at her house so that Felicity can meet other people from their school. Felicity asks if she can invite Peter, and Liz puts together that Felicity likes Peter. While setting up Liz's house for the party, Felicity meets Liz's dad, and notes that something is off about him-- specifically that he uses blockers. But this fact didn't distract Felicity from trying to do right by Steve and Tony by seeking out a normal life. She thought that she could have a normal life with Peter, and was excited to see him at the party. However, after quickly meeting at the party, Peter completely disappeared without a word, and Felicity feared that it was her fault.

A few days later, Spider-Man landed on the fire escape just outside of Felicity's window. When she pulled him in, she tried to stitch him up the best she could.

## Powers

### Power Mimacry

Felicity was born with Power Mimacry. As a young child, her hands would always glow red, which scared her parents to the point of abusing and neglecting her. If she touched anyone with powers, she would drain their powers from them, and gain them for some period of time. If she touched someone with no powers, she would drain their life force-- and if she did it for long enough, she could kill them.

In attempt to get Felicity's powers under control, Tony took her to Professor Charles Xavier when she was still very young. When she met him, she was so fascinated by his wheelchair, that she ended up holding his hand too long. To all of their surprise, Charles' powers didn't fade from Felicity. His ability to read minds stayed with her, and never left.

When Felicity's powers flare up still, her hands glow a bright red and sting. She easily hides the glow with gloves, but those who know her, know that this uncommon and cause for worry.

### Telepathy

Felicity's telepathy comes from Professor Charles Xavier of the X-Men. She gained his powers whilst meeting him at a very young age. While they weren't concerned with her having contact with him beforehand, both Tony and Charles were extremely concerned when his powers of telepathy did not fade from her.

Felicity doesn't like to use her powers for no reason. She and Steve went back to Professor X later to seek help in order to get her powers under control, but some times they slip. Felicity feels weird using her telepathy some times because she feels like the power isn't really hers-- it was stolen.

After Tony found out that Felicity's powers sometimes slipped in the night, he created "blockers". These small pills could be taken by anyone, and Felicity would never be able to read their thoughts. Tony made sure that not many people knew about it, and ensured that they weren't abused. He knew that if the blockers fell into the wrong hands, it could be very bad for Felicity. However, Liz's dad managed to get his hands on some, and Tony later gave Peter some in order to keep his Spider-Man identity a secret from Felicity.

## Suit

### Original Selestra Suit

Felicity's original Selestra suit starts with a dark purple mask covering her eyes. The suit itself is a long sleeve carbon fiber and vibranium woven shirt with purple hues. There is a belt on her abdomen with an S for Selestra embroidered on and an Avengers symbol is buttoned on her top left shoulder. The pants are carbon fiber and vibranium woven leggings with a thick purple stripe running down the outside of the leg. To finish the look, she has purple leather boots.

### New York Selestra Suit

When Felicity was sent back to New York, she wasn't allowed to have her Selestra suit. But Tony knew that Felicity wouldn't just sit around and do nothing. He knew that she would go out and fight crime, no matter what she was wearing. He would rather she be safe over anything else, so he made her another suit.

The new suit he gave her was a golden chest plate with a red carbon fiber and vibranium body suit underneath. On the left shoulder of the suit was an Avengers emblem, but when she would pick the suit up, the emblem would disappear. There

## Felicity's Parents

"She hated how her parents sullied the Stark name by being washed out, abusive drunks. But that was what happened after her dad was sick of living in his brother’s shadow." --Selestra: Book One.

Off the bat, Felicity's parents were extremely scared of her because of her powers. Because of their fear, her parents were never kind to her. The abused her, thinking that it would get rid of her powers. She grew up in an abusive home with addict prone parents. She never loved them, and she never forgave them.
