Elizabeth Stark, a rich and genius woman. Daughter of Howard and Maria Stark, a brother to the famous Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man.
After their parents death caused by The Winter Soldier, both Tony and Elizabeth hit rock bottom. They did drug...
Elizabeth walked out of the ball room holding on to her clutch- that only had some cash in it and a safety button on the side which alerted Bucky's watch if she was ever in trouble. She looked to the right and saw no one and started to walk left, as she turned her head and bumped into Zebediah Killgrave. "I'm so sorry. How clumsy of me." Elizabeth said in her British accent, looking up at him with a polite smile.
He took her clutch and threw it in the trash next to them and grabbed her wrist, leading her into the parking garage. Elizabeth didn't know what to do, or what to even think. The only call for help she had was now in the trash. Why the hell did she even bother to go after him in the first place?
After guiding her into the parking garage, he pushed her up against a car. "Who the hell are you?"
"My name is Aurora Brown." Elizabeth tried keeping the act up with her British accent her kind smile but it just wasn't working. "And you are?"
"You know who I am." Zebediah smiled at her, putting his hand on the vehicle, next to Elizabeth. That one moment in her whole life she didn't know what to do- she knew she wasn't ready for this and she knew she wasn't getting out of this alive. Of course she was. Why would she even think that? Bucky promised to protect her. Right? RIGHT?
"Wrong." Zebediah smiled wide. "I know who you are. Your name is Elizabeth Maria Stark. You used to date my son."
The name escaped her lips. "Benjamin."
Bucky's voice came from a distance, here to save her. "ELIZABETH!"
"Gotta run, Betty." And just like that Zebediah was gone.
Elizabeth took a deep breath and started walking towards Bucky. "I'm fine. Let's go." She grabbed his wrist and led him to the hotel room.

"Where the hell did you go?" Bucky slammed the door behind them. "If I ever lost you, do you know what your brother would do to me?!"
"So, what?! You're just protecting me because of him?!" She snapped back, instantly regretting it.
"Who cares!! You could have-" His voice rose. "You just jeopardize this whole mission, Elizabeth! The whole team could lose their lives or worse!"
Fear. Horror. Terror. It was all shown in her eyes as they both looked down to her wrist that was clutched by Bucky's metal arm.
"Elizabeth. I- I'm sorry." He let her go and took his jacket that was on his bed before closing the door behind him.
And just like that he was gone.
Elizabeth fell in defeat onto the king bed and lied down with her legs hanging off the end of the bed. Almost 30 minutes passed as she stared at the ceiling thinking about...nothing. Okay, that's a lie. She was thinking about Benjamin Killgrave. Her first love. But it wasn't time for her to tell anyone that story. She just wasn't ready. The only person who knew what happened was Tony and she wanted to keep it that way.
The clock read 12AM. So, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to change.

Before going to sleep, she vented to her journal since no one else was around. Benjamin Killgrave. A boy I haven't thought about since that day of his death. His black hair and his crystal, blue eyes. What a sight. Until he hit the deep end. Then the nice, sweet boy I knew was gone. Forever. And so was the kind little girl that went by the name Elizabeth Stark.
The doorknob started to turn as Elizabeth dropped her journal on the bed and fell to the side so whoever walked in, wouldn't see her right away.
The floorboards creaked when the man's footsteps moved closer to her. Then she heard the mini fridge in the room open and close as she poked her head out. "It's just me, Elizabeth."
"Hi, Bucky." Her voice was soft. She slowly stood up, moving a piece of hair behind her ear as she took a seat on the bed, closing her journal so he wouldn't see. "Where did you go?"
"It's late. You should probably go to bed. We have to wake up early."
"Okay. Goodnight."
All Bucky did was glance and flash a quick smile at her before drinking from the beer can in his head and thats all it took to remind Elizabeth of her past.
