You were supposed to be out with your friends-dressed up, laughing, celebrating your 23rd birthday. Not bleeding on the sidewalk in the middle of a downtown explosion. Not waking up in a hospital bed, confused, aching, and staring straight into the eyes of a man you'd only seen on screens. He wasn't supposed to be there. But neither were you. Bucky Barnes had no reason to remember you. You weren't an agent. Not a genius. Not anyone important. Just the girl who'd thrown herself between a child and falling debris, and ended up with fractured bones and scars she couldn't see in the mirror without flinching. But he came back. Again and again. At first, you thought it was guilt. Then you realized... it was something else. Now, your life is anything but normal. Secret training sessions. Shadows that follow you home. Enemies whispering your name like you matter. Like you're the crack in his armor they've been waiting to find. And still, when everyone calls you his weakness... He leans in close and whispers: "You're the only reason I haven't given up." You didn't choose this world. But maybe-just maybe-you'll survive it for him. Hi!

Katherine Stark - daughter to Howard and Marie Stark, sister to Tony Stark, Winter Soldier. "Of all the people I chose to love. I chose the one who has just as much trauma as me." In December 1991, in the crash that killed her parents, Katherine survived but was taken by the Winter Solider to form The Winter Soldiers - HYRDA's elite group of assassins - but being a Stark, Katherine became very valuable to HYRDA, especially when the Super Soldier Serum not only enhanced her agility, strength and speed but also provided her with powers - elementalism. As a Stark, Katherine is most valuable to HYDRA. When faced with a mission to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D., Katherine is forced to come face to face with those HYDRA had hid from her - The Avengers. While Steve fights for his best friend back, Tony fights for his sister and the Bucky fights his best friend for her. When her memories are restored, it is up to Katherine to chose her destiny - as a Winter Soldier or an Avenger - Bucky or Steve. Katherine's adventure takes us through the plots of AOU, CA:CW, IF, EG, FATWS.
