Skin and Bones

Alessia Monroe's life was defined by Red Room captivity and the emergence of magical powers, leaving her with little hope for freedom. Her days were a brutal routine of training and little else, plagued by the side effects of her powers.

A mission turned into a rescue by Natasha and Ophelia, leading Alessia away from the Red Room's control.

Years later, Steve Rogers asked her to watch over Bucky Barnes during his deprogramming. Initially, Bucky was resistant, but their shared experiences and the lingering touches between them hinted at a possibility of hope for a connection, moving beyond their difficult pasts.

She has the lips red as cherry wine
A poisonous kiss, she's part of the swine
My salvation won't be sacrificed
Wrap me in your skin and bones, yeah, you're electrical
Oh, I'm gonna lose control, yeah, as you pull me close
