Merula was damn near dead when Steve Rogers found her giving up on life right outside the perimeter of the Avengers Tower. He carried her inside, let Bruce and Tony work their medical magic, and eventually introduced her to the rest of the team. She couldn't remember how she had ended up there, but she did know that she wouldn't be safe if she left; The Avengers did the only thing they knew how to: they trained her. But it was James Buchanan Barnes that made her break. [This is not set on any specific timeline. All characters and their concepts are claimed by their respective owners, aside from Merula(c).
