The Black Rose

Lilith Rosalie Barnes-Lilly, if anyone ever cared enough to call her that-is known within Hydra by a very different name: The Black Rose.
A weapon. A ghost. A warning.
At just sixteen years old, she is one of Hydra's most lethal assassins-silent, precise, and nearly impossible to stop. They shaped her that way from the moment she was born.
Because Lilith wasn't just trained by Hydra.
She was made by them.
Born in the depths of a Hydra facility, Lilith never saw the world beyond cold steel walls and flickering fluorescent lights. Her mother, a former Hydra scientist, died hours after giving birth-murdered to keep secrets buried. And the greatest secret of all?
Lilith's father.
James Buchanan Barnes-the Winter Soldier.
He doesn't know she exists. Hydra made sure of that.
They raised Lilith on stories of strength, obedience, and survival. They trained her relentlessly-combat, weapons, languages, psychological conditioning. They told her emotions were weaknesses. That mercy was failure. That loyalty to Hydra was the only thing that kept her alive.
And for a long time... she believed them.
