Seven-year-old Aurora has spent most of her life in the foster care system, bouncing from home to home, leaving behind a trail of anger and broken furniture. She fights everyone - other kids, foster parents, even the social workers. But when she's placed for adoption, it's not with another ordinary family. S.H.I.E.L.D. has made their decision: Aurora is now the legal responsibility of Captain America himself. Neither of them wants this. Steve, forced into the situation by S.H.I.E.L.D., is furious about being saddled with a kid he never asked for. Aurora, convinced that no one ever truly stays, refuses to trust him - or anyone. Their first meeting ends in a screaming match, and things only go downhill from there. But as much as they push each other away, neither one is allowed to leave. And when Steve gets a visit from a friend from his past, stuck together, they'll have to figure out if family is something you're born into-or something you fight for.

Indigo Price was supposed to be dead. She wasn't supposed to survive, but fate clearly had a different idea. Now her blood might be the key to saving the world, humanity, and all its faults. Dragged out of hiding by the Fireflies, she gets shoved into the care of an angry smuggler who has a strange disliking to her, and a past he won't talk about. Indi had a simple plan: stay quiet, stay alive, and don't trust anyone. Especially not him. But the road ahead is long, twisted, and way too traumatising for a 14 year old. She doesn't know whats worse; dying young- or surviving like this.
