11 parts Ongoing MatureY/n Mellbank used to live in Hydra, was taken there at the age of 13, held prisoner and now experimented super soldier, The Winter Widow turned into The Goddess of Fire. The Avengers just happened to be attacking a Hydra base, the same one where she was located and managed to save her. At age 21, she is now living in a new place- one with velvet curtains, polite smiles, and locked doors.
Labeled a threat. Monitored like the prison she thought she escaped. Haunted by a past soaked in blood and fire.
Things change when Y/n is asked to join the Avengers- not out of trust, but necessity.
Then there's him. Bucky Barnes is cold, closed off, and reminds her too much of home. Assigned as her trainer, he watches her with careful precision, like he's waiting for her to mess up and fail. There's something dangerous and calculating in his gaze, but also something to trust if he'll let happen and her getting over her hatred of the man.
When old enemies resurface and new enemies are made, Y/n must find out who she really is- the monster of Hydra forged and created, or the hero who is terrified of her feelings and who she's becoming.
