❝My job was to keep them safe. I didn't." Frank sighed deeply. "I didn't do it." "You can't blame yourself for your family's death. Sometimes no matter how much you want to help, you can't stop someone from dying.❞ --- [Frank Castle◇Oc] [Season 2]

She doesn't trust anyone. He doesn't let anyone close. Rowan Vega - former combat medic turned ghostlike vigilante - never planned to cross paths with Frank Castle. But when a mission turns bloody and she's left injured, the last person she expects to drag her out is the Punisher himself. What begins as an interrogation in a safehouse turns into something else - a reluctant alliance stitched together with shared scars and unspoken grief. He's violence wrapped in silence. She's rage with a heartbeat. This isn't a love story in the way the world recognizes one. But beneath the silence, something fierce grows - forged in blood, trust, and the quiet comfort of not having to explain the worst parts of yourself.

Alex McKinley, sometimes known as Olivia Anderson (it's complicated) is an ex-SHIELD officer. Instead of retiring her skills, she put them to use and became an assassin. She runs into Frank Castle on a mission one evening. When she returns to New York, she searches for Frank, who's supposedly dead. She helps him finally finish the mission he started. They find that they're much more similar than they're willing to admit. The realization leads to much more violence, cursing and a complicated friendship (if that's what you want to call it). *I don't own Marvel's Punisher.
