ఌ eris anastasia richards, the only avenger able to manipulate matter at a subatomic level and wield chaos magic. a 24-year-old asgardian-human hybrid, born with her power as the daughter of odin and earth’s mightiest astronaut. her life was built on praise, power, and the belief that nothing could touch her — until, at thirteen, hydra did.

ఌ steve and eris were never easy. he was order, she was chaos. he held the world on his shoulders; she was barely holding herself together. but somehow, in the wreckage, they found each other. he saw past her power, her rage — and she saw the ache behind his loyalty. they loved like it hurt, like it healed. it wasn’t perfect, but it was real. and for two broken people, that was everything.
“ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅɴ’ᴛ ᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴋɪᴄᴋ ᴛʜᴏʀ’ꜱ ᴀꜱɢᴀʀᴅɪᴀɴ ᴀꜱꜱ. ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴋᴇꜱ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ ʜᴀɴᴅʟᴇ ᴍɪɴᴇ?”
ఌ for four years, they experimented on her, broke her, tested how much an asgardian could take. at seventeen, they let her go. no catch. no chains. she ran until her body gave out, and for five years she hid behind a new life. then nick fury came knocking. two years later, the world knew her again — not as a victim, but as an avenger.
