MarvelGirl_011
Born in 1965, Selena Bell should have lived a normal life. Instead, at fifteen, she and her twin brother were sold to HYDRA-their childhood erased in a single transaction.
Separated from her brother, Selena is sent to the Red Room, trained to obey, to survive, to become a weapon. When her training ends, HYDRA takes her back. For decades, she and her brother are used as experiments-frozen, thawed, and forgotten by time itself.
In the present day, the Avengers finally destroy the facility and rescue Selena.
Her brother is missing.
Taken in by the Avengers, Selena becomes a constant source of light, smiling, kind, and endlessly optimistic. No one questions her happiness. No one sees the mask she's perfected to hide the scars beneath.
No one... except Bucky Barnes.
He sees the silences. The nightmares she laughs away. The pain she never speaks of. Bound by stolen lives and broken pasts, their connection grows into something neither of them expected-slow, fragile, and real.
But HYDRA's shadows still linger, and Selena's story is far from over.
Will she ever find her brother?
And can love survive a past that refuses to stay buried?
I do not own any Marvel character, but Selena and Ryan Bell and the storylines and events surrounding them are all my own creation.
