"I need help." ~ For years, she's been a pawn in their game. They've been using her to get what they want, using her as little more than a tool. And she's been clueless to how far they've actually gone. Lithium has no idea how extensive their manipulation truly was. That is, until she met the captain in her quest to find the Winter Soldier once he's vanished from Hydra's repertoire. With the help of the man she's idolized for years, the man she attempted to shape her life after and gave up everything she had to emulate, Hydra's blinders are removed. And the world has become a dangerous game of give and take. In her attempts to find a new place, not quite unable to let the old one slip away from her just yet, she stumbles across another man. The one she'd been unwittingly sent to find, the one she likely would've caused to get killed: James Buchanan Barnes. The Winter Soldier. Neither Steve Rodgers nor Bucky Barnes is aware that she knows both. At least, neither knows for now. But in this game of push and shove, Lithium is learning quickly who can cause pain, and who can take it away. She's learning who to run to and who to run from. The question will eventually become something she never thought she'd have to answer, something she'd never contemplated before: would she rather be the painkiller, or let him be the painkiller for her? This fanfiction takes place after Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Stay: Book Three I have no idea who I am, to put it simply. Supposedly I was engaged, but I doubt that now. I constantly wear a bracelet with someone else's initials, at least, I think they belong to someone else. My name is Jasmine Brookes, according to the paper I found in my pocket the night I woke up. I don't know what kind of nightmare I'd been trapped in, but I certainly hope it's over now. I just wish the nightmares I somehow can't remember for the life of me would cease. Waking up screaming in the middle of the night? Not my favorite hobby. And through all of the torture and the glamour, I can't help but feel I'm missing something in my life. I just wish I could pinpoint what on Earth it was. I feel like . . . there's a gaping emptiness in me. And nothing I do can make it cease. The amnesia blocking parts of my life is destroying me, without making a single sound. And no one knows how to fix me. The latest movie Daniel's having me do, though? Somehow I feel that it's going to change everything.
