Jessica Torres is trapped in her own skin.

Since she was a child, she has refrained from touching another human being in fear of hurting them.

This is because, when Jessica makes contact with another person, she drains them.

Of life

Of power.

Of energy.

Of mind.

After years alone, her heart has found its home with SHIELD.

The people knew and respected her for her field missions, but then something changed.

Jessica Torres is no longer in control.

But she might not be alone in that.

When a certain super soldier comes into her life, Jessica's first instinct is to hide the worst part of herself.

What she doesn't know is that he has his own demons. Ones that bring them to an understanding. Then, to friendship.

But it was always meant to be more.
