Firewall // Avengers
Two sides of the same coin-bound together, yet always facing opposite directions.
Judith Barnes never belonged in her time. She had always felt it, a restless pull toward something greater, something beyond the war, beyond the limitations of her era. But fate had a cruel sense of irony. One moment, she was fighting to survive-then, she woke up 65 years later in a world she no longer recognized. Alone. No family. No friends. No past except the one that haunted her.
And then she met him.
Tony Stark. The one man who could infuriate her beyond reason, who made her want to throw a wrench at his head-and maybe kiss him in the same breath. She swore she wouldn't let herself feel again, that the ice had frozen her heart forever. But Tony had a way of making the impossible happen. And that scared her more than anything.
They were inevitable. They were fire and metal, wit and war, meant to be-just never meant to last.
Because a villain will burn the world for you.
And a hero?
A hero will burn himself instead.
