Through Blood and Betrayal {Bucky Barnes x OC}

Through Blood and Betrayal follows Evelynn Stark, a skilled and ruthless assassin who has always worked alone, using precision and calculated violence to take down her targets. After a failed mission where her quarry is sniped by a mysterious figure, she is forced to confront a new and unwelcome challenge: a partner, James Barnes. Cold, controlled, and just as deadly, James is a constant reminder of her failure-and he is not someone Evelynn can trust.

As they thrust into a series of brutal mock missions, the lines between professional and personal begin to blur. The tension between them is palpable, fueled by her resentment and his cold detachment. But the stakes are always high, and Evelynn is determined to prove herself-no matter the cost. What begins as a forced partnership soon escalates into a battle for control, trust, and survival, as Evelynn struggles to reconcile her loyalty to herself with the harsh demands of the organization she serves.

Haunted by the pain she endured after her failure, Evelynn seeks vengeance-not just for the mission she lost, but for the betrayal she feels at the hands of the one person she has no choice but to rely on.
