   Summary

   As a newly formed team, the Thunderbolts has had troubles both externally and internally. John Walker, the guy that is full with attitudes, and Ava Starr, the sassy loner (she's working on that loner bit), were the recipe for a perfect disaster, especially considering their natural banter with each other. However, as time goes on, they found similarities from each other they hadn't expected. Would this feeling sprouts into something more intimate?
