HannahRubyGarrett
At sixteen, Katya Volkova was one of the Red Room's deadliest assets - a ghost in the system, trained to kill without hesitation. When S.H.I.E.L.D. sent John Garrett to eliminate her, he saw something else: potential. Instead of killing her, he faked her death, and disappeared with her into the shadows.
Wyoming became her prison and her battleground. Alongside another teenage recruit - Grant Ward - Katya was trained by Garrett to become the perfect operative. Hidden from the world, the two learned everything together: how to fight, how to survive, and how to lie.
By twenty, Katya resurfaced at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy's Operations Division. Officially, she was a new recruit. Unofficially, Victoria Hand knew the truth - and chose to trust Garrett's judgment.
In 2013, she and Grant were assigned to Coulson's team. Their mission? Infiltration. Observation. Control. But as lines blur between loyalty and love, Katya begins to question who the real enemy is - and whether her heart is the greatest threat of all.
Because falling for your partner in the shadows of a crumbling world? That was never part of the mission.
