Born From Ruin

Daria Maximoff, the youngest of the Maximoff triplets, joins the Avengers after the fall of HYDRA, burdened by powers she barely understands. During the creation of Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron, she reaches into his unconscious mind and witnesses a terrifying vision of universal destruction, mistakenly believing he is destined to bring about the end of everything. Instead, Vision proves to be kind, gentle, and endlessly compassionate, and over time the two build a quiet friendship through shared conversations, late nights, and stolen moments. After Daria’s mistake during the Lagos mission in Captain America: Civil War, she is confined to the Avengers Compound, where Vision is tasked with watching over her. Rather than seeing her as a weapon, he sees the frightened young woman beneath her immense power, and their friendship slowly blossoms into a deep, unspoken love. By Avengers: Infinity War, Daria and Vision have finally embraced their relationship, stealing peaceful moments together in Scotland while dreaming of a normal future. Their happiness is shattered when Thanos arrives, forcing them back into the fight, where Daria is powerless to stop Vision’s death before being erased by the Blip herself. Five years later, she returns during the Battle of Earth only to discover that Vision is truly gone. The unimaginable grief finally awakens the full power of the Phoenix Force sleeping inside her, revealing that the vision she saw years before was never about Vision bringing destruction—it was about the Dark Phoenix that would be born from losing him.
