I am actively filling this in so it will make sense eventually I promise!!
Her backstory was so ignored so I'm putting the pieces together and filling in the gaps. This won't affect the portrayal of the character since the basis of it is canon and I am only filling in details, I simply cannot live with the unfinished crumbs the show gave us 😔😔 so here you go:
factsish:
Blue angels (grandma's stories)(grandma raised her?)
Low as fuck self esteem (very good at faking confidence though
the daddy issues of all time (prone to falling for manipulation from 'fatherly' figures; Garett, Cal, presumably her actual father)
Cal picked her up off the streets so presumably her grandma died and she had nobody left
PLEASSEE tell me if I've forgotten anything, I can't watch the show rn so this is from memory 😭😭
filling in gaps:
mom??-> dead probably, never knew her?
dad?? -> shitty, conditional love (more a boss paying in "love" than a father), criminal? -> using her to get away with things?? ->therefore shes been manipulating & using people since she was a kid -> alliances > friendships, personal gain > actual genuine care from people
grandma?? -> actually cared, died pretty soon after taking Raina in, died of illness maybe??
I feel like a conspiracy theorist with red string and a cork board rn 😭

Insights launching in sixteen hours, we're cutting it a bit short here." Nat said from the backseat.
It was a very awkward arrangement. The car only fit four people. Sam was driving, Steve was in the passenger seat. Nat and Sitwell sat in the back. The only option for you was to sit on someones lap. Since Sam was driving and you hated Sitwell (Steve wouldn't have let you even if you wanted to anyways), you were sitting on Steves'.
It didn't really bother you to much, but you wondered if that fact should bother you.
It wasn't that you didn't love Tony or even that you wanted to cheat on Tony. You never wanted to cheat on Tony, he was the only one that you loved.
But there was an attraction to Steve- how could there not be? But it was more of what you'd said after you'd woken up. You kind've just wanted to know that there was someone out there, who wasn't designed to love or care about you, that did.
Steve just happened to be that person.
"I know." Steve said. "We'll use him to bypass the DNA scans and access the helicarriers directly."
"What? Are you crazy?" Sitwell asked. "That is a terrible, terrible idea."
Suddenly, there was a crash as something landed on the car. The glass on Sitwells side shattered and a long, familiar looking metal arm reached in, pulling him out.
Nat suddenly jumped into the front seat, smashing you between herself and Steve as you heard gunshots. You fought frantically, feeling the breath close up in your throat as your claustrophobia started to rise up.
Sam slammed the brakes and you finally managed to break free. Now there were two ladies in Steve's lap. You glanced out the window and saw a man standing there, the silver arm with the red star attached to his body. He had long brown hair and his eyes and mouth were covered by a mask.
Suddenly, something rammed into you from behind and you started going straight towards the man.
"NAT GET OFF ME!" You shouted, panic almost giving in.
The man did a fantastic flip, landing on top of the car. You tried to wiggle out between the two of them. A hand suddenly shot down and ripped the steering wheel right out of Sam's hands.
"SHIT!" He shouted.
"Hang on!" Steve shouted as the car started to flip. You could feel his arm tightening around you, while he reached out to grab the back of Sam's jacket.
You were suddenly falling out of the car, landing harshly, though it didn't feel to bad since you were landing on Steve instead. But you started to panic, now noticing that it was both Sam and Nat on top of you.
'Breathe in'.
'Don't panic.'
Steve yanked you to your feet and you tried to pull yourself together.
"Y/N-" Steve said and then his arm was wrapped around you again. You didn't even know what happened, except that you went flying. You crashed through something. You heard screams. The thing you crashed into crashed.
"Y/N! Y/N!" Steve shouted and you groaned. You were bloody useless on this trip.
"Steve?" You asked uncertainly. "What-?"
"Are you alright?" Steve asked, blue eyes worried.
"Uh, I think so." You mumbled, checking your pockets for the guns. "What the hell just happened? Who is that?"
"The Winter Soldier." Steve said. "He killed Fury."
You wanted to shoot to your feet, but you suddenly realized that you were in a bus that was tipped sideways. People were crawling out windows and you looked around. You could hear gunshots.
"Let's get out of here." You suggested.
Steve helped you to your feet and the two of you started to run through the bus as bullets pinged in and out. Amazingly, Steve and you didn't get hit, although you think you might've gotten nicked along the back of your left calf, but through the adrenaline, you weren't sure.
Steve caught his shield outside of the bus and blocked the two of you from more bullets. You fired your gun at one of them, making him duck out of the way to avoid getting shot. You hit one of them, but you were pretty sure it was just in the armor.
Steve used the shield to bounce a bullet back at someone else. He started to walk forward slowly, leaving you exposed, but you took that moment to turn tail and start sprinting down the street.
You could see the Winter soldier walking calmly down the street. You sprinted, wanting to catch up. You'd jump on his back and hopefully incapacitate him with a sleeping agent that Tony had designed for you.
You watched him bend down, throw something under the car and then after it blew up, Natasha leapt on him. The two of them fought and you ran faster. She managed to incapacitate his arm and then the two of you veered away from him.
Now that you didn't have the element of surprise, you knew it would be useless. The two of you ran down the street. You ducked when you heard a gunshot, but Nat fell to her knees.
"Nat?" You asked, crouching down in front of her, seeing her hold her shoulder. "Move your hand, let me see."
"No, run." Nat demanded and the both of you looked up to see the Winter Soldier pointing his gun at you. You immediately lifted your handgun and shot at him, but he blocked it with his metal arm.
Steve was there suddenly, the metal fist landing into Steve's shield.
You froze, watching the two of them fight. They were basically equals, neither having the upper hand of the other once Steve's shield was gone. Watching Steve defend himself as the Winter Soldier attempted to stab him with a knife was amazing. And even the Soldier was smooth and fluid in his movements, tossing the knife with one hand, only to catch it in another to stab Steve.
Stab Steve.
You launched yourself back into action, running over to the van where Steve's shield was stuck, yanking it out with all your strength.
You stood there, waiting for an opportunity to pass it to Steve. You watched as they flipped each other over their backs. The Soldier's arm always made a weird buzzing noise before it shot forward, like it was powering up and then shooting. Finally, Steve was right in front of you and you handed over the shield easily.
Suddenly, Steve flipped him forward so that the soldier lost his mask.
You watched Steve freeze. "Bucky?"
"Who the hell is Bucky?"
But he had stopped fighting, the two of them staring at each other. Steve suddenly ripped his shirt from his chest, showing the golden retriever tattoo that was along his rib cage. He pointed to it and shouted, "You're my soulmate."
Your mouth dropped.
"Bucky, you're my soulmate!" Steve started running towards him. He even dropped the shield and then wrapped his arms around him.
You tensed and watched, until the man that Steve called Bucky put his arms around Steve.
He trembled for a second, blinking. He looked so broken and confused.
And then Bucky pushed Steve away, looking scared almost. Then he pushed Steve completely so Steve went flying back towards his shield, seconds later an explosion going off near Bucky.
You scrambled to your feet, grabbing Steve's shield and handing it to him. Sam had landed near you guys and Nat was kneeling on a car, the one who had bombed him. Steve went, probably to yell at Natasha, but then the cars suddenly started coming up.
You saw Rumlow right away, who pointed his gun at Steve. "Put the shield down. Get on your knees."
Rumlow roughly shoved your to your knees. He kicked the back of Steve's legs.
"Not here. But the gun down. Not here." Rumlow hissed to someone else who had a gun to Steve's head. And then, just for you to hear, he whispered in your ear, "We're going to have some fun when we get back."
🎃 ::::: 🧡 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧡 ::::: 🎃
"It was him." Steve said, staring at his hands as the four of you sat in the back of the armored truck. "He looked right at me like he didn't even know me."
"How is that even possible? It was, like, 70 years ago." Sam responded.
"Zola. Bucky's whole unit was captured in '43. Zola experimented on him. Whatever he did helped Bucky survive the fall. They must have found him and-"
"None of that's your fault, Steve." Nat mumbled.
"Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky." Steve sighed.
"We need to get a doctor here." Sam said in a harsh voice. "If we don't put pressure on that wound, she's gonna bleed out here in the truck."
One of them threatened him with the zapping stick. And then two seconds later, shoved the zapping stick into their partners' chest. He fell to the ground almost silently.
"Ow. That thing was squeezing my brain." Maria Hill said as she emerged from the helmet.
Maria.
Oh shit you'd forgotten about her. Coulson had died and had been her soulmate. Fury had been her secondary soulmate and now he was dead too. Fuck.
"Who is this guy?" Maria asked.
🎃 ::::: 🧡 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧡 ::::: 🎃
Steve and Sam helped Natasha between the two of them, following Maria while you brought up the rear. You were starting to feel dejected and useless. You'd done jack shit during this entire trip except have Steve catch you, carry you, protect you, or throw you around like eighty gazillion times.
You were an Agent and a well trained one at that. Fury had wanted to send you out on missions. How the hell were you so useless when it came to the actual thing?
Because you knew, something had been holding you back. You hadn't wanted to shoot the Winter Soldier. You had wanted to protect him subconsciously and now you knew why. Because he was Steve's soulmate.
But how could you fight and help the other three, if you were unwillingly to protect them?
Maria led us down, shouting to someone and then she said something that you ignored. You had no idea where you were, but you were hoping there would be a phone around. You really wanted to talk to Tony.
Maria pulled plastic aside and you stopped short, seeing the man lying in the hospital bed.
