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...
The next morning, the ex-assassin sat across from the genius Stark sister as they ate breakfast in silence before one of them spoke.
Bucky finished his plate and put his fork down on the table before he wiped his mouth and stared at Elizabeth for a moment. "You seem different."
"Well, that's what a year in a coma could do to you." She mumbled, merely under her breath but Bucky heard her loud and clear. "I guess I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that I've been asleep for a year, wake up with an anger control problem and have to go on a mission alive with the one person I hate in the world one week later."
"I'm sorry."
All Elizabeth did was laugh. Dropping her fork onto the table she had completely lost her appetite and wanted this mission to end as soon as possible, but, it would be nice to go home not hating the guy who gave her butterflies last night. "I have a deal for you, Barnes."
He leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes. "I'm listening."
"I see that you want me to forgive you so badly so, I will give you till the end of this mission to make me do just that and then you'll get to cross my name off in your little journal of yours."
--One Hour Later--
"Tony rented the ballroom this evening where the party was taking place last night so we can see if we find anything." He handed Elizabeth a little black bag labeled: Noir.
She raised an eyebrow at Bucky.
"It's your suit."
A/N: This is your suit but without the mask.

It was beautiful. Elizabeth was so in love with it that she never wanted to take it off. It made her feel powerful like she could rule the world, or perhaps a little team that went by the name Avengers.
Coming out of the bathroom, Bucky smiled at her. "It looks good. Now, I'm going to put this knife here, and your two guns here." He gently placed the knife on the right slot of Elizabeth's belt by her thigh and her two guns on both sides of the belt. "Here's your earpiece. If you find something, tell me right away."
Elizabeth joked. "Right, I don't want to fuck up the mission this time. Do I?"
----
Buck was on one side of the ballroom, looking for anything that Killgrave could have left behind, a glass, a strand of hair but it was hard looking for something that could be right in front of him in a place that could contain anything someone left behind.
"Wow, I mean the janitors didn't even bother picking up one punch of trash last night huh?" Elizabeth spoke to Bucky but she got no reply.
He almost lost hope, until he noticed a very long narrow hallway leading up to an office but didn't bother telling Liz, just in case there was danger.
As Bucky was searching through the office until he noticed a box, filled with 13 flash drives. Each flash drive had a name on it. Tony Stark, Stephen Strange, Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanoff, Wanda Maximoff, Nick Fury, Elizabeth Stark, James Barnes, Steve Rogers, Thor Odinson, James Rhodes, Clint Barton , and Sam Wilson. Holy Shit.
Elizabeth kept searching thinking Bucky was still empty handed before the doors of the ballroom opened wide, she was sprayed with bullets. "BUCKY!"
He managed to quickly stuff all 13 flash drives into his pockets and run back to the ballroom to help Elizabeth but gosh, she had it all under control. 6 men were already on the floor and she was in the middle of pining the seventh.
She stood up and moved a strand of her hair behind her ear, revealing the scar on the side of her left face next to her golden eyes. "What? Are you shoc-" She began but stopped when she noticed Bucky was right in front of her, staring at her face.
"We need to get this cleaned up before it gets infected."
"Barnes, It's just a cut."
"Let's go." She grabbed her wrist with no excuse and brought her back to their hotel room. Sitting her on the bed she started playing with her knife. "Where'd you learn that?" Bucky asked her in curiosity, starting to clean her wound.
"I've seen you do it a couple of times."
Facing each other, they didn't say a word. He was so close to her yet he felt out of reach. Maybe time had stopped when his lips met hers, but the flutter only intensified. Elizabeth's heart pounded in her chest as her knees got weaker even though she was sitting down. She could only focus on how soft he felt against her mouth, how addictively he invaded all her senses.
It still wasn't clear if she dreamed this moment to life, but there was raw emotion in the way his hand slipped around Elizabeth's neck. Bucky kept his eyes half open, sneaking a guilty peek at her every time he came back for air, just to make sure this wasn't a product of his imagination like he thought most things were.
He wasn't sure if it was true or he was being brainwashed to feel some sort of way, but every breath he took tempted himself to undress her, he didn't feel shy. If anything, the warm feeling of her breath, although destabilizing, was inviting. This time around he draped both arms around Elizabeth's small frame and met her lips again halfway.
As their lips slowly parted, Elizabeth's eyes kept incense with his. Just sitting there and looking at each other she knew he would do anything for her. Was love or was just what she thought love was?
"I'm sorry. I-"
"It's ok." Elizabeth interrupted him, moving another strand of hair. Bucky didn't speak, he just stared at her as she looked down at the floor. "Did you uh- find something? You were gone for a good amount of time."
"How about we get ready for bed first and I'll tell you all about it."
(outfit)
Sitting on the bed, Bucky sat across from Elizabeth and dropped 13 flash drives on the bed.
"W-where the hell did you get these?!"
Bucky picked one up and stared at Elizabeth. "You know what these are?"
She nodded. A huge lump grew in her throat. She thought it was going to rip her open. "When having a powerful team, a villain could always turn them so it's good to have a plan to stop them if that ever came to light. When everyone joined S.H.I.E.L.D and the team, he made flash drives for everyone. He even made one on himself if anything were to happen."
"Why do you have one? You're not part of S.H.I.E.L.D or the team."
"I wish I knew."
Only if Bucky Barnes knew, Elizabeth did know why she had her own flash drive. And she wasn't going to tell a single soul.
Elizabeth didn't know what time it was thanks to the hotel losing power from the huge storm going on outside. But she was also bored. Bucky was on his side of the bed sleeping peacefully. A little too peacefully for her liking.
"You feel scared. You should. I put something in his drink that would make him sleep like a baby."
"Who's there?" Once those words bounded off her lips, Elizabeth felt dumb. She knew in everyone's movie once the person said Who's there? or What could go wrong? That something bad was about to happen. And this time, that bad thing came walking out of the shadows. Zebediah Killgrave.
His purple skin was showing this time. So was his purple hair, purple eyes, purple suit. Everything was purple. At this point, Elizabeth even felt purple. "Oh, Betty. I think it's time we got to know each other."
