This little story, or big depending on how you look at it, is not something that you would expect to hear about. It is not a story of great deeds, or about a great hero. She wasn't a hero. She was a fisher from Alaska doomed to a life she never would have chosen and quest that wasn't even hers. Her adventure was entirely unexpected. Or at least, that's how the story went.

The past cannot be changed, but neither can it be forgotten, and Beatrice Hartley's past was as entangled with Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes as S.H.I.E.L.D. was with Hydra.

"You cause me concern," Fury said plainly, sliding the folder closer. She read the information, an increasing look of alarm making its way onto her face. When she got to the last page she put the file down, closing it quickly. "Apparently, you aren't the only one I cause concern for. Does the government have files like this on everyone? Or am I just special?" Now: post-Avengers

After finishing Season 3 and painfully watching the flat romantic subplot involving Michael Gray dissipate before my eyes, I decided to make my own.

Although, there is one member of the family that can't seem to get enough of her once she's recruited into the Shelby business.

Rondel Aves didn't expect to be promoted to head of security for General Organa. She didn't expect to be one of the Leia's most trusted, nor did she expect that she herself would be on the Resistance's next secret mission.

Book Two is up!]

(starts disjointed, originally intended as connected drabbles and evolved)
