Shana's POV

I am sitting in my first class of the day AP chemistry and I am just hoping to get thru the day without any issues, but that hope came crashing down when Micheal walked in he's the biggest bully in school. "Hey Shana how are you?" he asked. I just kept doing my class work and also my homework since I was so far ahead. "Oh since you live with the Avengers you're too good to talk to me?" Micheal said since I didn't answer him. Later in second period his girlfriend Shelly and her friends continued to torment me by throwing things at me and since their parents donated so much money to the school they got away with it. I had two classes without my bullies in them they were gym and geometry so I really enjoyed those classes. I went to lunch and I was eating in the courtyard of the school when Micheal, Cole, and Marcus walked over to me and I knew this wasn't going to be good. "So Shana we need you to help us with something. Is it true that IronMan and Captain America are fucking or are they just saying it to get more attention ?" Cole said. I held my anger in and didn't answer. "Oh you probably had to sign a waiver to live in that tower so you can't really talk about what goes on there. I bet you whore yourself out to them all." Marcus said as he got close to me. "Shana is Captain America's personal whore he's the one who adopted her." Micheal said. I stood up and said "Say what you want about me but leave my family alone or else." "Ms. James I think you need to remember what happens when people make threats they get detention." Mr. Aimes said as he grabbed my arm and took me to the office. I was given a detention and the others got away with harassing me just like always. After school I sat in detention waiting for it to finally be over so I could just go home and drink some tea. When detention was finally over I began to walk home when I get pulled into a van, I'm terrified thinking it's a enemy of the Avengers until I see it's my bullies from school. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Let me go!" I yell. "Not til we teach you who's boss." Micheal said as he Cole and Marcus gathered around me. Micheal hit me in the face and it was a knock out punch.

Steve's POV

Shana is late and she's never late getting home from school even tho she had detention she should've been here two hours ago. We are all worried Jarvis can't even find her phone signal. Clint and I are about to go out and see if she is anywhere in the neighborhood, when a van pulls up and Shana is dumped out,before the van speeds away. Shana is beat up and she is wrapped in a sheet with word slut written on her forehead. I lift her up and have Jarvis rush us to the medical bay while he calls Banner. When he's done examining her he says " Shana has a black eye a bruised cheek bone, two broken ribs, various other bruises. She was also raped multiple times and sodomized." "Who would brutalize her like that Shana is just a kid she didn't do anything to deserve this?" Clint says as he strokes Shana's hair. "Nobody we've ever fought had tried to hurt Shana and they all know about her." Tony said as he held my hand. I stand there and think about why we adopted Shana and it seems crazy but it's like she's my kid. When Shana finally woke up she began to fight so I had to hold her arms down until she realized who I was. She then hugged me and said "Don't make me go back to school Steve please Jarvis can teach me but I can't go back there. They did this to me and I can't." "Okay kiddo you don't ever have to go back. I promise I won't send you back, but who did this to you?" I asked as I held her close. "Does it matter since they have rich parents it will be swept under the rug just like at school." Shana said as I carried her to the elevator. When we reached the common floor I laid her on the couch as Dr. Banner made her some tea. "Tony call Pepper we are suing the school." I said as Shana cuddled up to Bucky since he was her favorite person. "Doll you gotta tell us who did this to you." Bucky said as he hugged Shana. "Micheal Hammer, Cole Marks and Marcus Davies, they waited til I got out of detention and they attacked me." Shana said as she began to drink her tea. "Well let's call the police then and Clint go collect the sheet she was wrapped in when they left her here." Natasha said as she brought Shana's favorite blanket into the room. "Ms. Romanoff I sent the video of Ms. James outcry to the police and they are coming to collect the evidence." Jarvis said. "Steve will you and Tony stay with me?" Shana said. "Sure sweetie."Tony said as he texted Pepper.

Shana's POV

When the police came the collected everything that Bruce used to examine and treat me when he realized I had been raped he put them in zip lock bags. The cops took me to get a rape kit done at the hospital since Bruce isn't a real doctor in their eyes. When they are done poking and prodding me we go to the police station where they separate me from Steve and Tony. Once they are done questioning me the female detective says "Shana we need to do a lineup and then we will send you home." I pick all three of the boys who make my life a living hell everyday. "Well Stark you can't shut down my company so you have your little nothing lie and get my son arrested." Justin Hammer says as I come out of the interview room. "Shana ignore him let's go home Bucky says he made you something special to eat." Steve says as he puts his arm around me. When we get back to the tower I go and take a shower after I am dried off I pull on my robe and head to my room to put on pajamas I see one of Bucky's shirts on my bed with a note that reads : Since you say I make you feel safe maybe my shirt will Bucky. I pulled on the shirt and a pair of my pajama pants then went out to the kitchen where Bucky was pulling something out of the oven." Hey doll I made this just for you and you don't have share with anyone but me." Bucky says as he smiled at me. Once Bucky and I begin to eat I feel like everything was normal and my bad day had never happened until I caught a glimpse of my bruised and battered face. I started to cry and Bucky pulled me close and said "Doll come on you know it hurts me to see you cry." I stopped crying and then Bucky fed me the rest of my dinner, Clint came and said "Ok short stuff it's movie time for me and you." I sat on the couch with Clint and we watched 'Beauty and The Beast' my favorite movie. When it was time for bed I wanted to ask Bruce for a sedative but I didn't want to seem weak so I went into my room and got ready for bed.

Bucky's POV

While Shana was at the hospital and the police station I was busy wrecking punching bags then Natasha told me how the police were treating her and I knew my lyubovnik (lover) would need some comfort so I made her chicken pot pie since I knew it was her favorite meal. I am laying awake worried about Shana cause she's such a sweet person and she needs to be treated like the princess that she is. "Sargent Barnes , Ms. James is in distress she is having a panic attack." Jarvis said. I rush to Shana's room since we both live on the same floor. Shana is in the corner with a knife in her hand. "Hey doll put the knife down it's me Bucky." I say as I stand there with my hands up. "Bucky they are gonna do it again they are already out on bail I'm not safe." Shana said as she held the knife. "Hey who am I? I am your soldat (Soldier) and I always protect you so I won't let them get you I will go everywhere with you." I said as I move closer to her. Shana dropped the knife then rushed into my arms. I lifted her bridal style and carried her to my bedroom and I laid her in my bed and she fell asleep in my arms and I know it's not the way I wanted it but at least I get to have Shana in my arms. When I first came to the tower she was just an annoying kid who helped me become a member of society, now I'm completely in love with her. I know she's way too young for me cause she's seventeen and I'm a hundred and two but god she's beautiful inside and out. Shana isn't like most women her age she doesn't wear makeup or skimpy clothes, she's not trying to be like anybody else she's just herself and she has curves that make me crazy sometimes.I told Steve and he said to go for it ,but Tony said" Barnes I can't say no but be careful cause not everyone will understand it." Shana is my main focus now cause she fixed me and I will take care of her.

Flashback Bucky's POV

Steve and Tony walk me into Stark tower and a girl walks up and says "Tony Clint broke my phone again. Oh hi you must be Bucky I'm Shana." "Okay kiddo I will fix it in a minute since I need to help Steve get Bucky settled." Tony says. "No you fix this and I'll help Steve." Shana says as she loops her arm with mine and hands the phone to Tony and pulls me and Steve into the elevator. She talks to me and shows me around like I'm just a person not a weapon is she crazy. The next day everyone is going crazy looking for me and when they come to the floor that Shana lives on they see us at the counter eating cereal as she tells me about the book she just read. "Hey short stack you know he could kill you with that spoon." Clint says as he walks in. "Yeah he wrote a note offering to kill you if you break my phone again." Shana said with a smile. After a week of Shana being around me one morning I go to eat breakfast to see her dressed in a school uniform and I raise an eyebrow. "Hey Bucky spring break is over I've got to get back to school so see ya at three." Shana said before lightly hugging me, then kissing the others on the cheek. Steve seems worried since I don't do anything while Shana is gone. When Shana comes home she is covered in red stuff and she sneaks to her room and showers before changing. She never says why she was covered in red stuff when she came home. The next day I sneak out and follow her to school it looks like one of those rich kids schools and Shana gets harassed all day but she keeps her head up and doesn't let it get to her unless they talk about the others. I knew she didn't want the others to know so I just made sure to have extra clothes for her in case they ruined her clothes again. One day Shana was doing homework when she said"History is so hard they expect me to find out and remember who was president during world war two and Steve says asking him is cheating. Bucky I bet if you remembered you'd tell me." "It was FDR and Steve thinks anything but doing it yourself is cheating." I say quietly. "Thanks Bucky." Shana said as she kissed my cheek before finishing her home work. A week later she came in and said "Bucky thanks to you I got an A on my history homework." "How did Bucky help you?" Steve asked afraid I did something wrong. "He told me who the president was during world war two." Shana said. "He talked to you." Tony asked. "He always talks to me when we are alone cause unlike you I treat him like a person not a ticking time bomb." Shana said as she stuck her tongue out at them and I began to laugh out loud for the first time in what seems like forever. Everyone was staring while Shana ran up hugged me then said "I like hearing you laugh it's sexy." When she walked away I suddenly noticed she wasn't just a kid she was almost a woman. Over time my crush increased and I just had no idea what to do but I know I can protect her and make her feel safe.

Shana's POV

I needed to go pick up my things from school, plus Tony and Pepper had to make sure my home school transition went smoothly. I begged Bucky and Clint to go with me so I wouldn't be alone in the halls since the boys were out on bail and they had lots of friends. I was gathering my personal stuff while stacking the books to take to the office when I heard a voice say "Let's just kill her and get the money these guys aren't even Avengers just bodyguards and by the time Stark gets here she'll be dead and we'll be long gone." "Yeah I mean Hammer is willing to pay big bucks to get rid of her." another guy said. I feel Bucky get right behind me as I notice Clint go into his pocket and pull out a small black pouch. I finish up quickly and we head to the office, all of a sudden I am grabbed by Bucky while Clint is throwing knives the school security guards are down on the ground. Tony comes running out of the office along with Pepper and the principal. "What happened ?" Pepper asked as she hugged me. "Hammer put a hit on her and they were trying to collect." Bucky growled as he looked at the downed men. When we got back to the tower everyone was filled in and for some reason Loki was there. "Shana I know you hate me but I am here to fix your face after what some awful mortals did to you just because of who you live with. I also want to personally apologise for what happened to your family during the attack, but one question how did you survive?" Loki said. "I was arguing with my parents at the time and I stormed so I came in after those things killed them and I stabbed one then took it's gun and shot my way out. I accept your apology but how can you fix my face?" I counter. Loki pulled out some cream and then put it on my face after Thor explained what it was. "Shana you and Barnes are going on a vacation since Hammer is trying to kill you. Pepper have my private jet fueled and ready to head to Malibu tomorrow morning."Tony said.
