ZEITGEIST

/ˈtsītˌɡīst,ˈzītˌɡīst/

the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time.

                                                          ~~~~~

Of thirty-two women captured by HYDRA in 1939, Lucille "Lucy" Opal Baker is chosen to become a weapon labeled "Decay", used to aid the Wehrmacht in World War II. After she receives a serum allowing her to see and change molecules, HYDRA deems Lucy ready to fight on the frontlines. 

But she refuses to kill.

After a year of captivity, Agent Elizabeth "Peggy" Carter, undercover as Nurse Elizabeth, rescues both Lucy and Dr. Erskine from Schmidt's clutches. They travel to Camp McCoy, where Lucy strikes up a friendship with James "Bucky" Buchanan Barnes while making a name for herself as an SSR agent.

When Project: Rebirth produces Captain America, HYDRA is suddenly at her heels, and Lucy realizes their spotlight is not only pointed at her, but also on James Barnes. 

Suddenly, Lucy is very susceptible to compromise.

                                                          ~~~~~

{ excerpt }

"You mean that." She stated softly and James slowly tilted his head forwards.

Their lips touched- soft and sweet.

He gently pulled away after a few seconds.

"I mean every word I say, sweetheart, till the end of our days, and our world. Always." 

                                                           ~~~~~

in which an idiosyncratic woman's choice can save thousands, or kill millions.

"What do you expect me to do? Click my fingers and teleport away." "...Yes?" Alessandra Esposito has never had much in life, never wanted much either.

AMNESIAC || Finnick Odair by Alex_Novas

❝Who are you? Who 𝘢𝘮 I?❞ ✑✑✑✑ All tributes know when and how they get in the Arena. The Victor, however, never knows when or how they get out. Not until Claudius Templesmith announces their name and district to the entire nation. Once the tribute becomes a victor, they're taken out of the Arena. Only to eventually realise they never truly escaped. The nightmares, the cameras, the deals, nothing ever lets them forget. Their entire lives, they're reminded of what they did. The mask of luxury that covers their sleepless nights and destructive thoughts, is kept in place by the finest glue known to President Snow; a bit of hope mixed in the bowl of darkness and fear. There's but one problem with that mask. For it to work, the victor must have two essential things; haunting vivid memories and loved ones they would trade their lives to protect. One without the other is to no use. So when Olive Navin Cresta survives the 69th Hunger Games with no recollection of her time in the Arena, the mask gets destroyed before it's even placed. Please, don't forget, the odds are never in our favour. ✑✑✑✑✑✑✑✑✑ 𝕒𝕞𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕚𝕒𝕔 /𝕒𝕞ˈ𝕟𝕚ː𝕫ɪ𝕒𝕜/ 𝕟𝕠𝕦𝕟, '𝕒 𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕠𝕟 𝕖𝕩𝕡𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕒 𝕡𝕒𝕣𝕥𝕚𝕒𝕝 𝕠𝕣 𝕥𝕠𝕥𝕒𝕝 𝕝𝕠𝕤𝕤 𝕠𝕗 𝕞𝕖𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕪.' ✑✑✑✑✑✑✑✑✑ I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES I only own my OC and part of her family.
