Austin Walker is feared, untouchable, and always in control...except when it comes to Katya Perez. She's kind, fiery, and unpredictable. She's the first person who makes him feel things he can't ignore. Katya's life is simple: school, workouts, movies, and the little joys that make her happy. Danger isn't on her radar, but Austin can't look away. He watches, he's obsessed, and he starts pulling her into thrilling situations...and risky. The more time he spends near her, the more he feels: protectiveness, longing, and a love that terrifies him. Katya senses something too, glimpses of kindness beneath his dangerous exterior, moments that make her heart skip. But when a shadow from Austin's world edges closer to Katya, he's forced to choose: stay consumed by the obsession that's always defined him...or risk everything to keep her safe.

Glenn Winnow had only known pain since as long as she could remember, no family, no friends, just experiments. And when those experiments failed, she was cut off from the rest of the world until she was found and taken in by Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff. She had finally had a home, a family, and a purpose for what she felt was a curse. However, when the world seems doomed, and she loses not only Nat but also Steve by the time they came out the other side of the war, she is hopeless again. All that she had left was Bucky Barnes, who swore to care for her after Steve left. However, the world is in shambles, and so is Glenn. She finds no purpose in life until Bucky sends her on a mission to take in five of Valentina Allegra Fontaines agents, a simple mission before she ends her hero career forever. But the mission becomes much longer than anticipated, and she finds in it the possibility for another family. Their threat is perfectly catered to Glenn's powers, and she's likely the only one who can save them, the city, and the world.

*Rating this PG-13 for mentions of physical torture (canon), and heavy mental health topics such as PTSD, depression, s*icidal thoughts, etc. Read with discretion.* Saving my brain power for the actual content in this story, basically Steve Rogers (MCU) has a younger sister named Rose (I'm so sorry I know this name is really basic but it was really popular in the 20s when she was born) who fought in WWII with him and she and Bucky Barnes were engaged before he "died" and Steve and Rose were turned into ice cubes (derogatory). Rose and Steve are now in modern times (2016) having issues with their superpowered roommates (The Avengers) and trying to get their PTSD ridden third member of the trio (Bucky) to remember that he cares about them. I swear there's actually substance to this story I'm just so unserious please read it so I feel important
