Background
A long time ago in a far away land there lived a peasant woman with two daughters. She had lost her husband in a great war so to feed her children she would take in clothes for mending and washing.
So great was her skill with a needle and thread that she became famed throughout the land. It was said of her that under her hand the worst tear or rip would be mended better than new and so people came from far and wide to employ this seamstress. She enjoyed great renoun yet for all her skill she remained humble and kind of heart for she had known loss and hardship and wished it on no other.
So it was that an old blind beggar woman arrived at her door one day, her clothes in tatters with nothing to pay with but a bag full of oats.
Smiling she brought the old woman into her home, sat her down at her fire place and began to sew. Very soon the old woman's clothes were as new and as payment she took only half the bag of oats.
It was then that the old woman threw off her disguise revealing herself as the old witch Baba Yaga. At first the woman cowered in fear but Baba Yaga spoke saying 'Fear me not for you have shown me kindness this day, so in return I shall show the same to you. From this day on all the daughters of your line shall be blessed with kind husbands and healthy children. However once in every seven generations daughters shall be born, and they shall be hand maidens to me and before the woman could reply the old Witch was gone.
This was the story that was passed down through Evka's family, from mother to daughter. So it was that when Evka and her sister showed powers greater than the norm her parents began to wonder if the story was true. Evka's power was speed, she could run faster than the wind.
It was not however a supernatural entity that came for the Matusek sisters. Instead it was the KGB. Arranging for their apparent death the sisters were inducted into the KGB's super soldier programme. Manipulated into serving a people not their own Evka was given the code name Infra-red and soon started to work with KGB operatives like Ivan Menzikhov aka the Menace.
So successful was Infra-red that working together with the Menace they managed to capture the Guardians.
All seemed lost but the Menace's victory was not to be, for the KGB had taken something that was not theirs to taken and forgotten something they should not have forgotten. They had forgotten that there are worse things in the Russian night than cold and darkness. They had taken the Hand Maidens of the Iron Crone Baba Yaga. They had forgotten to be afraid.
On her own, in a room, just round a corner from where the Guardians were being held, Evka underwent a horrifying transformation. Baba Yaga's magic flowed through her, changing her, breaking the mental bonds her kidnappers had put in place granting her power over death itself.
The KGB agents died screaming, the Menace fled and the Guardians were victorious. The bodies of those who died vanished mysteriously, for the pot of Baba Yaga was their ultimate destination.
Evka however knew that her job was not finished. Her sister was still in the clutches of the Russian government, and Baba Yaga's revenge was not complete. She searched with the Guardians for weeks, but now that they knew fear the agents holding her sister had hidden themselves hoping to survive this supernatural onslaught.
Evka would have to wait.
