Melany Banner has spent her entire life being watched, protected, and managed - all because of who her father is. When a classified S.H.I.E.L.D. protocol forces her into close quarters with James Buchanan Barnes, she expects another soldier following orders. Instead, she finds someone who sees her. Someone who waits. Someone who never takes what isn't freely given. But attraction inside the Avengers compound doesn't stay private for long. As HYDRA resurfaces and old loyalties twist into something dangerous, Melany becomes a target - not just because of who she loves, but because others believe they know what's best for her. In a world where protection can turn into control, choosing Bucky may be the most dangerous thing she's ever done.

"People like him don't change. He is the god of mischief, after all." Bruce Banner has a niece; Eryn Banner. She works by his side at S.H.I.E.L.D. When Loki mysteriously returns, she finds herself intrigued to him. He's not all mischievous and full of lies as much as he's said to be. Beneath his tough facade, is a broken man with a story to tell. Too bad, no one else but Eryn sees that. So what happens when Eryn helps Loki escape from S.H.I.E.L.D? Loki isn't called the god of mischief for nothing. *UNDER EDITING*
