Charlie Fury, a child adopted from India as a toddler, was brought up in New York by the infamous Nick Fury. She is used to hustle and bustle of the city around her and knows all there is to know about life. She has everything figured out and planned. Except when she doesn't. Charlie works for SHIELD as an agent/assassin. She hides in the shadows and listens to the secrets people spill. She only has a few friends, two of which are Clint and Natasha. Charlie loves them both dearly but is ignored by the rest of the Avengers. Until she isn't. One mistake was made and she is shoved into the light. Charlie was used to it but she was finally noticed by James 'Rhodey' Rhodes, the man she's admired and loved for a long time. They grow close, as James is curious about the quiet and almost skittish assassin. One night a party was thrown and Charlie meets with Rhodey. They talk and laugh, thoroughly enjoying each other. One thing leads to another and the night ends in another mistake. One that could cost Charlie the love of her life.
