Canary and Blackbird again

Amira Kline was raised to be a weapon - her father Alejandro, a former Marine, taught her and her siblings to be deadly for their own safety, alongside his brothers- and sisters-in-arms.

At 18, with an arranged marriage to Ethan Calloway closing in, Amira uses Marine tech to call for a way out - and her brother Aiden pulls her from it. Ethan never appreciated her: she wouldn't kiss him or sleep with him, he slept with other women, and he broke her rib at her birthday for refusing him.

Her father places her under the command of Frank Castle, where she earns the call sign **Canary** - and the instruction of Lieutenant Billy Russo, the **Blackbird**.

What starts as training becomes a slow burn neither of them can afford: not with Ethan watching, the Calloways pulling political strings, an old enemy of her father's circling the program, and a war that doesn't care about their rules.

A Punisher slow-burn romance: found family, hurt/comfort, and a girl who was never going to be anyone's cage.
