FROM, GRACE MALLORY ! ! !

Marvin,

It's incredibly disheartening to see you, again, involved so deeply in Butcher's mess, even as you insist that this is not affiliated with the things he's wrapped up in. It's also incredibly noble and painfully just like you that you would reach out for the purpose you did.

I've always known that you were better than him. This is proof; being able to go past your vengeance and take this step to help a child, no matter that child's parents. Though I wish you would sit out and step back from this Vought business entirely, it is not my job to command you what to do.

What I said above stands: the girl you asked me to seek out is a child. She was born in 1985. I have sent a few of my team to comb the records remaining at the lab, whether they be there or not, for any details on how this may be. I have also sent a handful of my team to scout out Natalya Petrov and assess the threat of her. She is the caretaker of the girl. They fled Russia after the lab's explosion, and that is all the information I have for you.

If you could, if you have contact to her, please pass along this message with this information to Rose Quartz. It's important to me that you do.

I apologize for my actions in the eighties. It means naught now, I know this, but I needed to say it now that I am free from that hellhole that it was. She was the best of them, and I stood back and let them walk all over her and try to break her down into being just like the rest of the heroes of the time.

I can only hope that what I found is beneficial to you, Marvin, and to her. I'll reach out again when I have translations of the documents they find, if by any chance the remains still have them.

Please, for your family's sake, consider retiring. Seriously retiring.

Mallory
