Bucky Barnes was always a pain in Betty's ass. Until he wasn't... Betty Rogers was glad that her brother had made a new friend, someone to look out for him. Yeah, he was annoying as hell most of the time, but he could be fun, and kind. This is Betty's story of growing up, finding love, going to war, and being out of time.

"But I am my father's daughter, so maybe I could fix him" ~ "You're insufferable" he says and he sighs running his hand through his hair "You're loving it" I say with a slight smirk. ~ Emmaline Stark is the daughter of the infamous billionaire, Tony Stark. After living away from his superhero life, forbidden to ever be involved in such a dangerous place, things change ever so suddenly on her 19th birthday.

After moving in the Avengers tower, her life changes. But nothing really big is assigned to her for the first 4 months. Until Steve Rogers talks about recruiting an old friend of his.
