It was supposed to be a routine mission, no more was needed than two Avengers and a couple of agents. That was until they uncovered an entire organization of criminal scientists and a 12 year old chained in a basement.
Maya was the perfect lab rat, an unwanted and unnoticed orphan with an IQ to rival even Tony Starks. The price on her head was high and until the network that held her captive had been eradicated, she needed to be somewhere safe. Who better than Tony Stark? An intelligence that matched hers, a fortified tower, and also the only person that had been able to elicit a positive response from the girl.
Maya is broken, traumatized, frightened, and guarded. She's terrified that at any second she'll be taken back to the basement. Tony is out of his depth, recovering from his own anxiety after Loki attacked New York, and determined to figure it out. He's just trying to stabilize her until the criminal organization is taken down and they find her a good permanent family.
This is only meant to be temporary. So why is starting to feel attached?
~~~
In which Tony becomes responsible for a traumatized, genius, 12 year old girl.

Nina is Tony Stark's lab assistant. A thriving college student, or so the Avengers thought. After a horrible end to a horrible relationship, she recovers with the Avengers and starts to properly befriend them in a way she never did before. But two of them just can't seem to leave her mind. *** "Oh my God!" "Wanda!" She was giggling, "Sorry, this is just... so funny." I hit her with the cushion. "When did this happen?" She asked. "You've not been living here that long." "I... I don't know," I replied. "It's... It's like I get this feeling when I'm with both of them that just feels... so right. I get all warm and my heart just feels so... fuzzy? I don't know.

Bucky's Hope (A Bucky Barnes Love Story)
Still being tormented and haunted by the memories of when he was the Winter Soldier. Bucky has tried so many things to help him deal with the trauma of his past but nothing has helped. The Avengers can see how bad the nightmares are affecting Bucky and are really worried about him. Tony has since forgiven Bucky for what happened to his parents all those years ago but can see that he has not forgiven himself. He decides to bring in some outside help though is unsure how the team will react to the secret that he has hidden for 21 years, he knows that she is Bucky's best chance to forgive and heal himself. Her life has never been simple, especially when being the daughter of Tony Stark, but she has dedicated her life to helping horses and people alike heal from past trauma. And now her dad has asked her to help Bucky with his inner demons. But can she help Bucky while still battling her inner demons or perhaps heal each other bringing hope back into their lives? (Author's Note: This story takes place two years after Civil War but with my twist, I debated about adding the Infinity/Endgame storyline but decided not to because I'm still not over all that emotional trauma that the Russo brothers and Marvel put me through. So I decided to bring the concept of one of my favorite Canadian shows Heartland based on my favorite book series growing up. The rescues in my story are either some from the show/books but with my spin as well as some real-life horse rescue cases that I have seen online. Hope you all enjoy it, no pun intended.)

"So after getting shot, your main priority was getting a sandwich instead of getting help" "Hey, they've got the best ones in Queens!" When the avengers are faced with a new, considerably smaller threat, the last thing they expected was to find a tiny, but powerful kid, whose idea of staying safe after the blip was staking out at a broccoli factory.

Adopted By The Avengers
**READ AT YOUR OWN RISK, THIS SUCKS BUT I'M TOO LAZY TO FIX IT** The team didn't know what caused them to want to go to a foster home and adopt a child. Hell, they honestly didn't know half of the reasons why they did things, but this just seemed right. When things start going from bad to worse, the Avengers must decide if having a kid is truly worth while, especially when other parties join the picture. ======= "Oh my god, this hasn't happened before!" Bridget gasps with a smile while clapping her hands. "How many people have you told?" Clint raises his eyebrows. "Good point." She shakes her head. "But that doesn't mean you can tell others!" "Why not?" Clint demands. "I told you before, it's dangerous. Even having me here with you could kill you!" Bridget quickly explains. "And now that you know, every little sign will make sense and then you'll start to go a little crazy trying to figure it out and then-" "Calm down." Clint orders while setting a hand on her shoulder. "We'll figure this out." ===== ------ Cover by @Meowlnir **Yes, this is a remake of my previous Adopted Series, except it'll be new characters and a smoother flow (hopefully)**Complete
