Brilliant, lethal, and unpredictable, she walks a line between charm and danger, knowing every choice could tip the balance between life and destruction. Some powers cannot be hidden. Some destinies cannot be escaped. And some storms, once awakened, cannot be tamed. "Power sleeps in shadows... but shadows do not forgive." "Power sleeps in shadows... and he was about to step into them." fem OC x Steve Rogers

Pain comes in many forms. Heartbreak, headaches, broken bones, and that quiet, soul-splitting kind that doesn't leave bruises. But the kind of pain I've witnessed goes beyond all that. Have you ever heard a man scream, really scream, as he's being beaten and his fingers broken one by one? I have. And as twisted as it might sound, in that moment, it felt... satisfying. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a psychopath. These people, they deserve it. In a world full of monsters, someone has to be worse. Someone has to be the shadow in the corner, the final judgment behind a red-drenched smile. That someone is me. Reanne Anderson. Twenty-four. Assassin for the Anderson family. Secret hacker behind their impenetrable systems but to most, I'm the Red Lady. I respect boundaries until someone crosses mine. Then I become a storm in heels, or combat boots, or whatever the hell I'm wearing that day. And then there's him. Lorenzo Russo. Twenty-eight. Newly crowned Don of the Russo family after his father was butchered by the Russian mafia. Lost his mother in the same bloodbath. He's cold, calculated and ruthless. He looks at people like he's already decided whether they're useful or dead. He's got the eyes of a man who's seen too much, felt too little, and trusts no one. Our paths were never supposed to cross. But war doesn't care about plans. He needed someone who could crack into encrypted systems. He needed a ghost. He got me. But sometimes, even in the darkest corners of the world, two dark souls might just bleed for each other.

"Someone's mother, someone's daughter. Holds your hands through plastic now, Doc I think she's crashing out. And some things you just can't speak about..." "Aviana Campbell, you've noticed her edge, I presume?" he waits for her to nod before continuing, "Capitol manufactured venom runs through her blood vessels from where a snake mutation bit her during her games." They watch as she throws cleaver after cleaver, each one with meticulous precision and brutal force. The projections pixelate almost rhythmically, one after another as she hits their abdomens and crania in turn. "Didn't she receive an antidote from a sponsor?" Katniss asks in confusion, she had watched snippets of the young girls games. Beetee hums, "Yes, the antidote prevented her from dying...the Capitol didn't bother to take away the side effects however. Hallucinations, voices in her head, anger. They've manipulated her perspective of reality to make her more entertaining...that girl has been groomed into the perfect Capitol weapon from the inside outwards." Pre Hunger Games - Mockingjay

He races for Red Bull. She designs his wings. But falling for each other? That wasn't on the grid. As the top aerodynamicist on the grid, her only focus is downforce, drag, and shaving milliseconds off the lap time to build a championship-winning car. Falling for Red Bull's star driver was never part of the blueprint. Max Verstappen lives his life strictly by the data and the race regulations. But love doesn't follow a racing line, and the closer they work together, the harder to it becomes to keep their boundaries intact. Between late-night garage sessions and the intense pressure of the paddock, a quiet connection begins to build. Quick author note; Hey, so first time writing a fic, no idea what I'm doing. But I promise it gets better in the later chaps, haha! Feel free to write any sort of criticism or advice to make my writing better :) This is slow-burn with fluff and no smut. I'd also appreciate ideas for new fanfics.
