730 days. That's what Y/n decided on as she was being taken into custody, just 730 days. She thought she would spend those days alone in her cell, and she would have had the Avengers not needed her. So, she joined the team. At first she hated it as she was taken to and forced to live in the Avengers tower against her will. It all seemed like a string of bad luck. First, the death of her mother, then her terrible excuse for a father, followed by the manifestation of her powers. Being kidnapped by Hydra, the torture, the missions. Now, this. However, her opinion began to change as she got closer and closer to a certain Winter Soldier. For once in her life she felt like she was enough.

It's been two months since Y/N returned to the Compound, but despite her best efforts, she can't seem to escape her trauma. Nightmares haunt her at night, while memories stalk her during the day; a never-ending cycle that she hopes she can smile her way through.
She finds distraction in her busy schedule and a few quiet moments in-between, but no matter how hard she tries, she can't forget. And now that the world knows who she is, she likely never will.
Some see her as a hero, others see her as a weapon. Y/N doesn't know which to believe-especially with the little control she feels she has over her life anymore.
The journey to recovery is never easy, but Y/N thinks it may be impossible.
