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.

Allie has lived next door to Jon for as long as she can remember. He's always been just... there, the quiet house beyond the fence line, the man who keeps to himself, the one who never quite joins the rest of the world. Now she's freshly twenty-one, and everything feels different. He's thirty-five, a retired actor who left Hollywood behind for a quieter life, and he still doesn't belong to anyone, or at least that's what he seems to want people to believe. But distance has a way of changing shape when you've spent years growing up just out of reach of someone.
