← ONCE THERE WAS AN IDEA TO BRING TOGETHER →

Life with the Winter Guard is as it always is. The team serves its function and gets everything done that it needs to. Back from the dead, Laynia enjoys working with them once more and is glad to see that her twin, Vanguard, is doing well ever since her resurrection. Some may wonder about the moral obligations of the Russian based team – especially with their connection to the mysterious Red Widow – but Laynia knows in her heart that she’s in the right place. It’s what makes her happy and it’s what she’s always done.

←  A GROUP OF REMARKABLE PEOPLE TO SEE IF THEY →

✗ NIKOLAI KRYLENKO (616) is Laynia’s twin brother and fellow member of the Winter Guard. He’s fiercely protective of his sister; when she died, he was so determined to either avenge or restore her that it led to a schism in the Guard. Now, Laynia is back and the two have settled into a routine once more. She knows Nikolai would do anything for her and Laynia returns the sentiments. They remain incredibly close.

✗ NATHASHA ROMANOFF (616) was once the target of the USSR that Laynia was supposed to bring in. Instead of doing so she joined Natasha’s team, the Champions of Los Angeles, and became her friend. The two keep in touch some but aren’t incredibly close. Natasha’s disowning of Russia and Laynia’s continual service to the country will always be a huge difference between the two.

✗ BOBBY DRAKE (616) and Laynia grew close when Laynia was a Champion and the two almost dated – which, in retrospect, wouldn’t have worked out since Bobby is gay. Laynia didn’t know that at the time and the two ultimately decided to just be friends.

← COULD BECOME SOMETHING MORE  →

✗ THE WINTER GUARD → They’re Russia’s answer to the Avengers. The team has a rotating roster, and Laynia has served on it in a few different iterations. They’re not the Avengers, though. They don’t have the family kind of vibe even though there’s literal family on the team. Laynia doesn’t really mind. She’s serving her country and making them proud.

✗ OTHER AFFILIATIONS– n/a.
