Sixteen-year-old Vicky never asked to fall through a green hole in the sky and land in the middle of the Avengers' lives. She's mysterious, sharp-tongued, and hiding scars-some visible, some not. The team doesn't know where she came from, and neither does she... but the voice in her dreams might. Between training sessions, grounding punishments, and late-night talks with Peter Parker, Vicky's building a life she never thought she'd have. But shadows from the past-hers and theirs-aren't done with them yet. And when HYDRA returns to claim what they lost, the fragile balance holding her-and the team-together begins to shatter. Trust is a luxury no one here can afford. Nightmares bleed into waking hours, and secrets claw their way out of the dark. Vicky's choice isn't between hope or fear-it's whether she'll survive the monster inside her... or become it.

No one hated each other as much as Tyler Murphy and Hazel Parker, every glance a slow, venomous burn. Yet beneath the surface, something deeper pulled them in, something they consumed in bitter, silent doses. It wasn't the hatred that destroyed them-it was the poison they couldn't stop sipping. The poison of love.
