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.

Her hands bore the scars of violence, and her eyes were dull and glassy, reflecting a lost luster and a soul yearning for release from life's burdens. I encountered evil in my childhood. Trapped in a life she never chose, Y/n is the niece of Alexander Pierce. As the years unfold, she finds herself stripped of her choices, her autonomy, and anything that might lead her to happiness. After enduring significant memory loss and witnessing events that challenge her moral compass, she realizes she must escape and warn someone about Hydra's sinister plans. When she joins Coulson's team, she meets Bucky Barnes-a man she quickly grows to resent, as it becomes apparent that he feels the same way about her.
