' "Put her down, Bucky." It was Steve. Staring up into Bucky's eyes that were now glued to the captain, Brenna saw the soft blue turn to steel. A low growl grumbled in his throat. He gently placed her back onto her feet, whipping a knife out of his belt. He pushed Brenna behind him protectively. Backing away with caution, Brenna could only watch as the suspense rose. "Don't make me do this," Steve pleaded, his voice sounding tired. But Bucky was gone once again, taken control of by the Winter Soldier. And the only thing that mattered now was completing his mission. The two lunged for each other. ' • • • Brenna Halliday Stark. She'd never dreamed that one day she would have superpowers; that one day, she would kill. One day, she would fall in love with an assassin under the control of HYDRA. But it happened. What starts as innocent curiousity almost costs Brenna her life many times. However, with new abilities arrising seemingly everyday, she becomes an incredibly powerful opponent. Including her grettest ability yet: the power to calm and even heal the Winter Soldier. • • • Takes place mostly during The Winter Soldier and the unfilmed events after that movie. For the sake of this story, Civil War and any movies afterwards never happen. I want there to be a nice, happy ending. ♡
