"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.

Sequel of Rumors of War and The Immortality War. Book Three of Five. Set during Captain America: The Winter Soldier. .•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•. Steve trails off, his shoulders sagging. "It's just not the same." "Nor should it be." I reach over, placing my hand over his. "I know things are different, but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Nostalgia is a dirty liar, Steve. It makes us forget all the horrible things that happened in the old days. And there were horrible things. We can miss the past, but I've tried very hard to also love the present. After all, in the end, it's the only thing we have." .•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•. A lot has changed for Emma Barnes and Steve Rogers since the Chitauri, and mischief god Loki, invaded New York City two years ago. She went from being a fugitive, forced to live outside the United States, and a known murderer to being an Avenger, a welcomed-American, and a hero to many around the globe. Her reputation as Lady Liberty has been reinstated, and she fights along her friends--both old and new--to maintain order in the brave, new world. After Natasha invited both Emma and Steve to re-join SHIELD, the trio have become as close as friends can be. Life is good for Emma, and she finally has some peace about her past. But nothing lasts forever. Long-suppressed secrets start to surface for the first time in decades. Secrets that have kept Emma's sworn enemy, HYDRA, alive and well inside SHIELD. And when a figure from her and Natasha's past shows up in an attempt to kill Nick Fury, Emma, Steve, and Natasha are forced to go against everything they've fought for the past two years. They're forced to become fugitives again, forced to go against the law and organization they helped create, and forced to face the ghosts from their pasts. Especially the ghost with a metal arm.

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)
