September, 1941- A demi-goddess born in 1885, has died and been reborn twice when she is swept into the war between the USA and Germany, 19 year old Natalie Catriona McGregor-Fraser was left an orphan when she watched some men come into her father's bar and shot him when he couldn't produce the money for protection. In doing so, she ended up destroying the bar, and struck fear into the everyday American in New York as a firebird flew across their sky.
In becoming an orphan for the first time since her existence, she signs up for the army, more so for the fact she had served in the first World War as a nurse but passed from the Spanish Infuenza, but the man who was going through her application looked at her and in saying no based on her gender, he got a glimpse of her abilities, and had assigned her to Dr. Erskine, a German-born scientist who was working on a serum for a super soldier.
That is where her story takes place... Interactions with Bucky Barnes, the Avengers and a romance with Captain America.
A cage is still a cage. No matter how golden. For some people, the taste of freedom lingers on their tongue from when they're born.
At times, Melora wondered if everything would have been easier if she had been born a different way. If she was not born with a purpose that locked her in place. She was born to marry. Born to be a peace offering, but there comes a time when a choice appears, and this time? This time, she wanted to live.
