Coffee, Courage and a Captain

Charlotte Red is eccentric at best, unconventional at worst.

Working as the head technician of Stark Industries' R&D Department since she was sixteen, and with two PhD's under her belt already sets her apart from most other nineteen-year-olds- not that she enjoys standing out- and her work ethic only serves to further that divide.

Her boss once described her as a bundle of caffeine that was doing it's best to present as human, and her family and friends- if she had any, that is- would most likely agree.

Call it what you want- fate, destiny, or just sheer bad luck- but being transported back in time by unknown forces into a New York ravaged by World War Two was not part of her plan. Neither was making the acquaintance of two young men from Brooklyn by almost falling on top of them in an alleyway or any of the events that followed thereafter.

With no way home, she quickly realises this is her one chance to be normal, to reinvent herself as who she truly wishes to be.

But she's Charlotte Red, and her life was never supposed to be normal.
