The New Avengers Book One

A collection of interconnected one-shots following the Thunderbolts*-now operating under the uneasy title of the New Avengers.

As the architect behind the team, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine pulls the strings from the shadows, deploying her assets like chess pieces on a board she refuses to explain. Always at her side is Mel, her sharp, observant assistant, quietly documenting every mission, every failure, and every crack forming within the team.

Thrown together by necessity rather than trust, these anti-heroes, soldiers, and weapons must survive missions designed to test their limits-and each other. Every one-shot explores a different dynamic: explosive confrontations, uneasy alliances, dark humor, and the moments of vulnerability no one talks about after the mission ends.

Team Members (MCU):

Yelena Belova - lethal, sarcastic, and brutally honest

Bucky Barnes - the Winter Soldier searching for redemption

Red Guardian (Alexei Shostakov) - loud, reckless, and strangely protective

Ghost (Ava Starr) - silent, fractured, and deadly

John Walker - unstable, obsessive, and dangerous

Sentry / Bob Reynolds - godlike power trapped in a fragile mind

Y/N / The White Witch - magic, control, and barely contained chaos

Two recurring pets are part of the tower family:
Alpine - Bucky and Y/N's white fluffy cat.
Annihilator - Yelena's brown-and-white guinea pig.
