*A sequel to Path to Protection (BuckyBarnes x OC)* Willow has fought many battles against the evil threatening her loved ones and that left her defeated and damaged. Once she finds out that not everyone has gone down in the plot of Hydra's tentacles, she sets on a race to serve herself and the love of her life the justice they deserve. > Edited by @flickerinfireflies and @mxev37 *Due to the flow of the story, the events between CA: The Winter Soldier and CA: Civil War will be changed*

Once a street rat, now a part of the Special Operations Executive as an agent, Willow's life is different from the one she imagined. Instead of wasting her life away on the streets of New York, she finds herself deeply involved in a world that looks simple at first glance but develops into a world full of secret agents, enemy spies, and lovely soldiers. What can a simple woman like her do to protect what good is left in the world? NOTICE: Due to the flow of my story, the events between CA: The First Avenger and CA: The Winter Soldier will have a different outcome. STORY IS EDITED; I apologize to all the users who left comments, as most of them have lost their place and can now only be seen under the general comment button. Thank you all!

A/N: first few chapters are a bit 'cringy' with spelling errors (I write this on my phone) but if you can get past those two things, I PROMISE the story and writing get better. Will be doing heavy editing/construction once the book is complete Agent Amelia Hayes is the newest recruit to the Avengers team after getting a second chance at life thanks to none other than Tony Stark. While learning how to use her powers for good and what it truly means to be a hero, shes also creating bonds with everyone on the team as they help her along her journey. All except James Buchanan Barnes that is. She doesn't know why the moody super soldier has such a vendetta towards her but she does know that she can't help but get flustered and ogle around him. Getting to the root of everything is one problem. Figuring out where to go when she gets her answers is another. But Amelia Hayes never backs down from a challenge.
