Being related to a stark had its perks. Endless amount of money...an amazing apartment in the Stark Towers and anything you could ask for. The only issue was that no one knew I existed. I was off-limits...but I fell. And I fell hard. **** "Who the hell are you?" My heart dropped into my stomach and I turned around slowly to see the one person I never wanted to meet. Bucky Barnes. "Well? Who are you?" "I'm...I'm no one," I said quietly and slowly edged my way out of the kitchen. "Emily?" Tony said walking towards me with anger behind his eyes, "What the hell are you doing here?" Bucky looked over at me then smirked, "Oh, I see. We're you one of his whores before-" "Ew! How gross!" Tony and I said in unison and we pretended to throw up. Tony took his glasses off and sighed, "Bucky, meet my sister, Emily. Emily, meet Bucky," "Sister?" Bucky's eyes went wide. *** I do not own any of the Marvel characters. I only own the character Emily and a few others.
