"My hands are stained with dirt. And they always will be."

~

Lillian Nightshade; assassin, Captain America's girlfriend, and number one magnet for bullsh*t and bad luck. For her entire life, she's been told what to, who to kill, who she is, and what she's meant to be. And now? Thanks to her history of daddy issues that could rival Shellhead's, she finds herself kidnapped by father of the year Loki Laufeyson and held hostage in a realm far from her favourite boy toy's reach.

Asgard.

Struggling with her own sense of identity whilst simultaneously trying to escape the clutches of a god with fabulously glorious hair, by the time Lillian finds herself returning to the world she knows, she begins to notice a suspicious amount of change within it. HYDRA apparently died with the Red Skull, SHIELD hasn't fallen, the battle of Braga never went down, and Steve Rogers doesn't seem to remember her. It's almost as if she's...

Gone back in time?

Between balancing the timeline, trying not to spoil the future, righting wrongs committed the first time around and dealing with a butt tonne of family drama, Lillian simply can't catch a break from all the bad luck she attracts. Throw a familiar metal armed World War II soldier turned HYDRA weapon into the mix, and the Nightingale might just be in over her head. 

In spite of it all, will the two complete opposites, Steve and Lillian, find their way to each other's lives once again? Or is their romance lost, a faded memory stored away for rainy days? For she may have their love to light the way, but where there is light, there will always be its older sibling.

Darkness.

After 62 long years of serving Hydra, the dangerous female assassin had finally escaped their unforgiving grasp. She was left with nothing. No name, no memory of her life before Hydra, no friends, and no home. The only thing she had was a mission: Find out who she was before Hydra by any means necessary. Three years after leaving Hydra's facility for good, she finds herself in containment on one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s aircraft carriers after a break-in attempt in one of their top-secret facilities. Director Nick Fury has everything she needs to remember who she used to be, and he knows it; however, with the God of Mischief threatening war upon the entire planet, Fury is desperate to collect a group of the strongest and most capable men and women in the world to save the planet from the inevitable alien invasion. And so, a deal was proposed. She must fight alongside Fury's army of six to stop Loki, and in return, she will be given every file and piece of information that he has on her. Although she is reluctant to take orders yet again from another large organization, it is the last shot she has in completing her own mission. She intends for this to be her final battle, but she could never have predicted that her time as Hydra's deadliest assassin was only the beginning of her story. TRIGGER WARNING: violence, torture, gore, PTSD episodes. Takes place during the events of "The Avengers" in 2012. CURRENTLY BEING EDITED Story is also posted on Quotev under the name Addelynne.

She has managed to control her powers it feels like everything in her screwed-up life is slowly piecing itself back together. But HYDRA has different plans, they want their project back because their client is becoming impatient, and they will do anything to try and retrieve what is theirs.

Tony smiled, clearly struggling to keep his voice steady as he hopped off his chair to kneel in front of me, taking my scarred hands in his rough ones. "Having you in our lives makes it more of an adventure. We wouldn't ever want you to leave, you are one of us okay? You're like a daughter to me, to all of us - hey, why are you crying?" "I'm sorry." I sniffled, roughly wiping the tears off my cheeks before I let him wrap me up in a hug. "I just never felt like belonged anywhere before and to hear you say that... it just means a lot to me." "Well, it's true Emily." Bruce smiled back as he put his hand on my shoulder as I kept my head buried into Tony's chest, saturating his shirt with my tears.

I nod my head, "I forgot to ask. What happened to your hand?" "Fell off a train in the mountains. HYDRA found me and gave me this metal one." "Leaving me there and going really did nothing for you huh." "Thea-," he walks towards me. I yawn, stretching my arms and he watches me. My shirt slightly lifts, revealing one of my scars. "What happened?" He comes close to me, and places his metal thumb on my bare skin, trailing the scar. "Nothing," I move away from his touch, trying to ignore the butterflies ricocheting through me. He looks in my eyes, "Every scar has a story." I chuckle dryly, "Then I must be a novel." Bucky leans towards me slightly, my face hardly an inch from his, "You're a novel I'd want to read." Theadora Rogers doesn't know her origins. Correction, she doesn't remember. Correction, HYDRA wiped her mind when she was only 18 and her older brother, Steve, was 20. But like I said, she didn't remember him. She knew 3 things: 1. Her name was Datura and she was 28. 2. She is HYDRA's best assassin and she is kept in cryofreeze unless she is needed in a mission, and that she trained for 10 years before that. 3. All hail HYDRA. Datura is a beautiful flower, but deadly. Many people die every year consuming its seeds. The drug was amazing, but addicting and it kills millions every year. Now, down to business. Our Datura has a mission. To kill Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America. But what happens when, for the first time in 80 years, she fails and the Avengers capture her? What happens when she meets the broken Winter Soldier? Read to find out. 😉 (Takes place during Captain America : The Winter Soldier)

- SHE WAS A SWEET, ROTTEN THING. Born dead, tossed in a metal coffin, reborn as an experiment, Subject RED was destined for great things. Not a child, not a girl, but a weapon. But what she would become was not a mere resuscitation of life. No, she was transformed, shaped by the hands of those who saw potential in her very existence. A puppet, perhaps, in their grand design, but also something more. A creation of flesh and bone, yes, but also of steel and secrets. Subject RED was not sweet innocence; that had been extinguished long before her rebirth. Her sweetness was tainted by the darkness that clung to her, a reminder of the life she had left behind, a life that had been snuffed out like a candle in the night. Rotten, in the sense that she had been marred by the hands that had sought to shape her into a tool of power. "This is the child of two of the most dangerous people on the planet, she mustn't be underestimated." HYDRA and the Red Room's most ambitious project yet, their whispers about her were no more than the sweet lullabies of her childhood as she was nursed with their needles, rocked by their punches and weaned on their commands. She would be better then her predecessors. She would be trained, raised and molded to best them in every which way imaginable. And when she had had completed the last step of the program, she would kill them. Her makers, her progenitors, her parents. And then, Subject RED would help HYDRA and the Red Room heel the world to their feet. WOUNDS WE LEAVE SERIES book 2 - mature content ahead! copyright! 2019 © - aka don't steal my story!
