As Renee gets older she starts wanting more out of life. Being a Stark means being in the Spotlight. Renee just wanted a normal life. But normal doesn’t exist when you’re a Stark.

=====================
Tony closes his eyes as he looks over the info he was just given. Once again, he let Renee down, his Little Star. She told him and he knew deep down she was telling the truth, but of course that Stubborn Stark pride. Tony just sighs. He sent Peter off with Happy who wasn’t happy at all at the way he treated Renee.
“I swear Tony if you don’t fix this mess and get them back home, I’m going to...” Tony holds up his hand nodding at Happy. Rhodey who was recovering looks up at him.
“Please, we should have just listened to her and Steve. None of this would have happened.” He mumbles. Tony just nods feeling all the hits. He fucked up he sees that now. He takes a breath.
“I promise I’ll get them back. Besides Renee has a wedding to plan right?” Tony smiles at that as he turns to find them and fix this mess.
“Hold tight Little Star I’m coming.”
=====================
Renee cradles Luna tight.
“Luna you need to stay on the jet okay.” She whispers holding her close. Luna meows as Renee kisses her head.
“You’ll be safe to stay here.” Renee sits her down as Luna tries chasing her as Renee quickly shuts the door. Luna cries for her as Renee walks to Bucky and Steve.
“You should stay too,” Bucky grumbles as Renee rolls her eyes at him.
“And you let you two have all the fun? Please.” Bucky growls a low growl he wasn’t liking this idea. These other Winter Soldiers were ruthless were nothing like him.
“We could tie her up?” Bucky shakes his head as Winter pokes around. Renee takes a breath as they walk inside. Steve leads the way as Bucky quickly puts Renee protectively behind him. Renee grabs his arm.
“Hey, I’m fine I’m a big girl Bucky.” He stops his eyes staring deeply in her big brown eyes.
“I know my Brown Eyed Doll, but… I can’t risk you being hurt. Stay with me and stay out of harm's way.” Renee grabs his arm as she holds it tight.
“You stay out of harm’s way; I can’t risk you being hurt Buckaroo.” He grumbles as Renee smirks.
“You won’t win so don’t try.” She winks as Bucky mutters watching as she walks up the stairs the doors start opening as Steve and Bucky ready themselves. Renee eyes the door as her power surges through her. The doors open as there stood….
“Tony.” Renee lets out as she pushes past Bucky to quickly get in front of him. Tony flips his mask down as he eyes Renee. Renee stares at him.
“I come in peace.” Renee studies him as Steve puts his shield down. Tony takes a breath.
“I should have listened to you Little Star, I’m sorry you were right, and I was wrong. Same to you Steve I’m sorry.” Tony’s eyes go to Bucky.
“You To James or is it Bucky?” Bucky just stares at him as Renee walks closer and hugs him.
“Good to see you.” Tony smiles ruffling her hair as they all walk inside. Bucky quickly getting protective again as he places Renee behind him. She sighs as Tony watches the interaction a small smile forms on his face.
“Scanning heat sensors.” Steve looks at Tony.
“How many?” Tony makes a face.
“One.” Renee’s eyes widen as she sees them all dead.
“What the hell,” Bucky mutters as he tightens the hold on his gun.
“They passed away peacefully in their sleep.” Renee’s eyes look around as Tony and Steve both try blasting the holding cell.
“This was designed to withstand bombs Captain; your little shield won’t take it down.” Bucky still keeps Renee behind him.
“Miss Renee Stark, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you.” Renee peaks around as Zemo’s eyes take her in.
“Your beauty, your brown eyes it’s all true. Photos do not do you justice.” Renee eyes him as Zemo looks around.
“You killed people in Vienna for what?” Renee asks as Zemo slowly smirks at her.
“For this Miss Stark.” A TV turns on as Steve and Tony eye it.
Tony tenses seeing the screen seeing the footage. His eyes widen.
“I know this road… What is this?” Bucky is still tense as Renee peaks around her eyes take in the screen. Tony closes his eyes as he sees the footage. Renee takes a shaky breath.
“Tony…” He shakes his head as Renee watches him. She didn’t want to see this.
“Bucky… I Don’t have a good feeling about this.” Winter whispers in his head as Bucky closes his eyes.
Tony’s heart stops seeing… His eyes flash as he watches Bucky murder his father, and then… His mother. Tony looks up. His eyes catch sight as Bucky takes baby Renee out of the car.
Renee slowly stands in front of Bucky.
Tony’s eyes flash as he looks up, he flinches as Bucky starts to remember everything.
“Tony…” Renee warns as his eyes meet hers. His eyes then go to Steve.
“Did you know?” Steve takes a breath. Bucky starts to shake as he realizes what he did. His eyes start to water.
“We…. I… Killed Renee’s parents… I…. I almost killed her.” Bucky hears in his head. Bucky shakes more as he sees it all replay in his head.
“I knew Tony,” Renee says as she stands in front of Bucky. Tony’s eyes flash to her a flash of betrayal in them.
“You what?” Renee keeps her protective stance in front of Bucky her eyes not leaving Tony.
“I’ve known since the events of DC that mom and dad’s accident wasn’t an accident. So, I did some digging.” Her eyes go to Buckys.
“I found it that same footage you just saw, I didn’t realize this copy existed… I destroyed all the others… I never blamed you Bucky or Winter. You killed them but it wasn’t you, you didn’t have a choice… I also finally found the person who saved me that night, you and Winter.”
Tony just eyes them both his emotions boiling. Renee goes back and looks at Tony.
“I’m sorry Tony, I didn’t think I needed to tell you. Why tell you this, what was it going to accomplish? I honestly felt I was protecting you.” Tony flinches as he stares her down. His eyes then go to Bucky.
“Move Renee.” Renee’s eyes widen she shakes her head.
“No.” Tony glares
“I SAID MOVE RENEE!” Steve puts his hand on Tony, Tony losing it raises his arm and sends Steve flying as he marches towards Renee and Bucky. Bucky quickly shoves Renee aside as Tony Charges Bucky down.
“TONY STOP!” Renee swirls her hand around as she forces Tony off Bucky.
“Stop it right now Tony stop it.” Tony turns his eyes full of fury.
“How could you for what? Him, this poor excuse for a human.” Renee gets angry at those words as she pulls Tony up with her strength.
“How dare you speak about him like that.” She shoves him down as she helps Bucky back up.
“How dare you choose him over me.” Renee just shakes her head.
“Come on Bucky.” She whispers as they start to walk.
“I don’t think so.” Tony starts firing his blasters off as Bucky pulls Renee back. Renee looks around as Steve tries to take Tony down.
“You have to go,” Renee whispers Bucky stops as Renee points up.
“Go Steve and I will hold him off. You have to go you have to get out of here.” Bucky shakes his head.
“No not without you.” Renee cups his cheeks as she kisses him.
“I’ll find you, but I have to keep you safe to go.” Her eyes plead with him as Bucky sighs but nods as he starts crawling up the escape.
Renee turns and holds off Tony.
“It wasn’t him Tony.” Steve pleads as Tony tries fighting his way to Bucky. Renee uses her power to hold him back as Tony fights against it.
“Renee move! MOVE!” Renee stands her ground as Tony eyes where Bucky has crawled and focuses as he fires a missile up. Renee gasps as the missile hits causing the escape to collapse. Renee rushes over.
“Bucky!” She forms her power as she tries to break his fall. Tony shoves her aside as Steve grabs onto his boot.
“Tony stop!” Renee yells as Steve tackles Tony sending them tumbling down.
Renee rushes to Bucky and pulls him up. Bucky’s eyes go to where Steve’s shield lays. He looks down seeing Steve and Tony fight.
“I have to help.” Renee sighs as Bucky grabs the shield and jumps down. He charges at Tony with the shield as Renee makes her way down.
Bucky and Tony start fighting fiercely as Renee tries to stop it.
“Stop it please.” She pleads watching two important people in her life fight was breaking her heart.
Tony tries to hit Bucky with his blaster, but Bucky ends up grabbing his hand causing Tony to blast off Bucky’s metal arm. Bucky falls down as Renee rushes to his aid.
Tony stands ready for the kill as Renee shields Bucky.
“You’re so bent on revenge and hate that you can’t see what you're doing. You want to kill someone so bad then kill me, Tony. Kill your Little Star.” Renee snaps.
Tony flinches at that as he stares at Renee his heart pounding.
“Move Renee.” Renee shakes her head. Tony stares her down.
“I said move.” Renee doesn’t back down.
“Make me Tony.” His eyes full of anger and hurt stare her down as Steve jumps in and starts attacking him. Renee pulls Bucky in her arms as she holds him tight.
“I’ll fix your arm, Buckaroo. I promise.” She holds him tightly as she feels herself losing it. She looks over watching Steve and Tony fight, it breaks her heart so much.
Renee’s powers try to heal where Bucky’s arm is hurt but it does no good. Renee strokes his cheeks as Bucky looks up at her.
“I killed you…” She puts her fingers on his lips.
“I’ve known since DC and that didn’t change my feelings then and it won’t now.” She whispers Bucky just nods.
Renee looks over as Tony lays beaten as Steve walks over, he helps pull Bucky up as the three of them start to leave.
“Renee Maria Stark, you choose him that murder over your family? You choose him and leave with him then your nothing to me ever again. You are a disgrace to this family.”
Renee stops as she turns around and eyes Tony, her eyes start to fill with tears.
“I love him, Tony, Bucky didn’t have a choice when he killed our parents, they brainwashed him and made him do it.” Tony just shakes his head as he spits up some blood.
“I should have just left you when you were a baby if I knew you’d turn out this way. You are no Stark, and your certainly not my sister or my daughter. So go, go be with the man who murdered our parents. Go. You're not even fit to be their daughter.”
Renee’s heart breaks hearing Tony’s words. She looks at him for the first time in her life with disappointment.
“Goodbye, then Mr. Stark.” Renee turns and helps Steve with Bucky.
Not once did she look back.
As far as Renee was concerned, she was no longer Renee Maria Stark. She was simply.
