Rani Barnes, the daughter of Bucky Barnes, was raised in the shadows of Hydra-trained to hunt, obey, and survive. Now 19 and rescued from that life, she's thrown into a quiet existence she doesn't understand, living with a father still grieving the loss of his best friend and trying-failing-to be something like a dad.
Haunted by her past and hollowed by the silence of peacetime, Rani feels trapped in a luxurious house that feels more like a cage.
When a mysterious woman named Valentina Allegra de Fontaine approaches Rani on a rainy night, offering purpose, danger, and payment-everything Rani was born to crave-the temptation becomes impossible to resist. After one final argument with her father, she walks away, card in hand, and makes the call.
This is the story of a girl bred for war, trying to make sense of freedom, and a father desperate to save her before the shadows claim her again.
Thunderbolts* spoilers.

The Weight of Her Wake
PLEASE READ!!! •Haunted by the traumas of her past, Elara has spent years trying to suppress the memories-and the violent powers they trigger. • Taken as a child, weaponized as a teen, and tortured into obedience, her emotions became a loaded gun... and someone always pulled the trigger. • Now free, she's trying to live in the shadows. But the ghosts never left. • When a new threat emerges, the Thunderbolts are forced to confront not only an external enemy, but the unpredictable force that is Elara herself. • As her control slips, her powers spiral-and so does the line between victim and weapon. • The team must decide: is she their greatest asset... or their biggest threat? • For Elara, survival isn't enough anymore. She wants redemption. • But first, she'll have to face the weight of her wake. I don't know if it should have a trigger warning, but just so you are aware there is some dark themes in the start of this story Enjoy reading!Complete
