Being named after the stars is a common thing, being able to shine like one is not. But, a change from Nick Fury's personal super assassin to being under the watch of Tony Stark and the other Avengers was as abnormal as you could get. Stella, with the power to manipulate any energy she can see, and blood on her hands since birth, tries to fit in in the unnervingly caring eyes of Tony Stark, who has decided, above anything else, that this kid will be his. Or, Tony Stark has a problem not adopting troubled and parentless children, especially ones that shine brightly once he enters a room.

[BOOK 1 OF STARK SERIES] When Tony Stark uncovers the existence of a long-lost half-sister, he discovers she's now Hydra's most lethal operative with a chilling mission: eliminate the Winter Soldier. Trained from birth to be Hydra's perfect weapon, she's lived as their puppet for years. But as she infiltrates Tony's world, she begins to question everything she's known, discovering the possibility of a life beyond her dark past. In an unexpected twist of fate, she finds herself falling for the very man she was trained to kill. -- I don't own any of the Marvel characters and/or places mentioned in the story.
