She was made to be a weapon.
Wings of shadow. Obedience beaten into her bones. Hydra tossed her into the snow when she failed.
But she survived. Bucky Barnes found her—broken and whispering apologies—and carried her home.
At the Avengers Compound, she learns to speak. To fly. To feel safe when someone touches her.
To want things.
To love someone.
To be someone.
This is not a story about becoming perfect.
It’s a story about becoming free.
