Where Home Begins

Age: 33. Height: 6'2". Occupation: Former Military Captain, Founder and CEO of Rogers Corporation. Marital status: Married to Anthony Edward Rogers (formerly Anthony Edward Stark) via an arranged marriage. Steve Grant Rogers is a man whose presence commands respect before he even says a word. Tall, athletic, and broad-shouldered, he maintains the discipline and impeccable posture he acquired during his military service. His movements are confident, precise, and calm, reflecting a life guided by self-control and responsibility. He has dark blonde hair, slightly long on top and naturally swept back. He sports a full, perfectly groomed beard that frames his sharp jaw, accentuating his mature features and giving him an elegant, distinguished look. His blue eyes are striking; they usually convey serenity, firmness, and a rare honesty, though at times they reveal the weight of the loneliness he has carried for years. His appeal is never ostentatious. He does not seek attention or capitalize on his appearance. He is the type of man whose presence is comforting because of the security he conveys, rather than physical beauty alone. He almost always wears custom-made, dark-colored classic suits, accompanied by discreet ties and elegant watches. Outside of work, he prefers simple but high-quality clothing: shirts, knit sweaters, jackets, and neutral-colored pants. He has no interest in luxury brands or showing off his fortune. His voice is deep, calm, and deliberate. He speaks only when he has something important to say and rarely interrupts others. He is an excellent listener and always analyzes a situation before passing judgment. Although many consider him inaccessible due to his position as one of the world's most influential businessmen, Steve is, in reality, a kind, polite, and deeply respectful person. He treats the president of a company and his office cleaning staff with the same courtesy, believing that respect is not determined by position or money. During his childhood, he was a sickly and physically frail boy, which led to constant bullying. Those experiences taught him empathy and led him to develop a strong protective instinct toward those he considers vulnerable. His mother, Sarah Rogers, was the center of his world. She taught him that true strength does not lie in physical power, but in kindness and the ability to love others. Before she passed, she told him he would one day find someone to build a family with, and that all the love she gave him would continue to live in the home he built. Steve made that dream his greatest desire. However, his years in the military, the founding of Rogers Corporation, and the responsibilities of running an international company slowly extinguished that hope. People who approached him seemed interested only in his last name, fortune, or influence—never in the man behind them. In time, he convinced himself that perhaps love and family were not destined for him. That is why he accepted the marriage to Anthony as a purely strategic decision. He never expected more from that agreement than stability to protect the company he had built. He kept his distance from his husband from the beginning, convinced that both should simply fulfill the contract that bound them. And yet, in the deepest corner of his heart, there is still a small flicker that refuses to disappear. The quiet hope that, one day, he might return home and find someone waiting for him. Without knowing it, that possibility already lives under the same roof as him, now carrying his own last name: Anthony Rogers.

Age: 34. Height: 1.83 m. Occupation: Executive Vice President (COO) and right-hand man of Rogers Corporation. Marital status: Single. James Buchanan Barnes, known to everyone simply as Bucky, has been Steve Rogers' best friend since childhood and his most trusted confidant. If Steve is the face of Rogers Corporation, Bucky is the one who keeps the company running from the shadows, handling internal administration, operations, and the supervision of major projects. Tall and athletic, he possesses a relaxed presence that contrasts with Steve's solemn image. He has dark brown, slightly long hair naturally combed back, paired with a short, perfectly groomed beard that highlights his sharp features. His grey eyes, always attentive, convey a mix of intelligence, mischief, and a calm that rarely leaves him, even under pressure. His dress style balances elegance and comfort. During office hours, he wears impeccably tailored suits, though he often goes without a tie whenever the occasion permits. Outside the office, he prefers leather jackets, simple shirts, jeans, and boots, maintaining a more informal style than Steve. Bucky possesses natural charisma. He is sociable, outgoing, and moves easily in any environment, from investor meetings to conversations with junior employees. He has a sharp sense of humor, enjoys sarcastic remarks, and uses jokes to ease tense situations, though he knows exactly when to set aside the fun and act with absolute seriousness. He is extremely observant. He has a habit of analyzing body language, silences, and the expressions of those around him, perceiving details most miss. That skill makes him an excellent negotiator and a difficult person to deceive. Unlike Steve, Bucky relies much more on his intuition than appearances. He rarely judges someone by rumors or public opinion. He prefers to get to know people before forming an idea about them, a trait that will play an important role when Anthony Rogers arrives into the family. Although he maintains a relaxed attitude, he is deeply protective of those he considers family. Steve is first among them. They have shared most of their lives, overcoming childhood, military academy, and the early years of Rogers Corporation together. Bucky knows better than anyone the insecurities, dreams, and sacrifices Steve has made to get where he is. For that reason, he doesn't hesitate to confront him when he believes he is making a bad decision. He is one of the few people capable of arguing with Steve without fear of consequences and, at the same time, the only one whose opinion Steve listens to without strings attached. He is deeply worried that his best friend has ended up accepting a marriage of convenience. Although he understands the strategic reasons behind that decision, he cannot help but wonder if Steve is giving up, once again, the possibility of being happy. When he meets Anthony Rogers, he expects to find the arrogant and superficial man the newspapers talk about. However, it takes only a few meetings to notice small contradictions that pique his curiosity. There is something about Tony that doesn't fit the public image everyone knows. And Bucky has never been a man to ignore what seems suspicious to him. Over time, he will be one of the first to understand who Anthony really is and also one of the main people responsible for bringing Steve and his husband together, almost without intending to. For Bucky, Steve will always be his brother, even if they don't share the same blood. And precisely for that reason, he will do everything possible to protect the happiness of both, even when neither is capable of recognizing it for themselves.

Age: 35. Height: 1.83 m. Occupation: Director of Corporate Relations and Human Development at Rogers Corporation. Marital status: Single. Samuel Thomas Wilson, known to most simply as Sam, is one of Steve Rogers’ closest collaborators and one of his most trusted people within Rogers Corporation. Although he holds an executive position, his work focuses mainly on employee welfare, institutional relations, and the company's public image, convinced that a company can only grow if it also takes care of the people who make it up. With an athletic build and a relaxed stance, Sam transmits approachability from the first moment. He has dark skin, short, perfectly groomed hair, and a carefully trimmed beard that highlights his features. His warm smile and calm gaze make it easy to talk to him, even for those who usually mistrust others. His style combines professionalism with comfort. In the office, he usually wears elegant suits, though less formal than Steve's. Outside of work, he prefers light jackets, simple shirts, and casual clothing, always maintaining a neat image without losing naturalness. Sam has an open, optimistic, and balanced personality. He is kind, patient, and has an extraordinary ability to listen without judging. Before offering advice, he tries to fully understand the other person's situation, which is why many employees turn to him when they go through personal or work problems. His sense of humor is spontaneous and light. He enjoys joking with Bucky, and on more than one occasion, both join forces to try to get Steve to take a break or smile after endless workdays. Unlike Bucky, whose humor is usually more ironic, Sam prefers witty and relatable comments that relieve tension without making anyone uncomfortable. He has a friendship with Steve based on mutual respect. Although he hasn't known him since childhood like Bucky, he has proven to be someone Steve can fully trust. He is not afraid to express his opinion when he considers that Steve is carrying too much weight on his shoulders and often reminds him that running a company doesn't mean giving up on living. When Steve announces his marriage to Anthony Rogers, Sam, like most, only knows the public image that the media has built about the former heir to Stark Industries. However, he has never been a person to judge based on rumors. He prefers to observe, listen, and draw his own conclusions. It doesn't take him long to notice that Anthony is very different from the man described by the press. He discovers a polite, considerate, and surprisingly attentive person to those around him. Small gestures, like remembering the cleaning staff's names, thanking assistants for their work, or preparing coffee for those who have been working for hours, immediately catch his attention. That difference between reality and reputation piques his curiosity. Over time, Sam becomes one of Anthony's first allies within Rogers Corporation. Without invading his space or pressuring him, he tries to make him feel welcome and show him, with simple actions, that not all places operate like the Stark household. For Sam, a company isn't built solely with investments or contracts. It is built with people. And he is convinced that, if Steve and Anthony learn to trust each other, both will be able to find much more than a marriage of convenience: the home they have been looking for for years.

Age: 34. Height: 1.70 m. Occupation: Executive Secretary to the CEO of Rogers Corporation. Marital status: Single. Natalia Alianovna Romanoff, known to all as Natasha, is Steve Rogers' executive secretary and one of the most important figures within Rogers Corporation. While the role might seem purely administrative to outsiders, the reality is quite different: Natasha manages the CEO's schedule, coordinates national and international meetings, oversees inter-departmental communication, and ensures the daily operations of the main office run smoothly. Many employees joke that Steve runs the company, but Natasha runs Steve. And they are partially right. Standing at average height with an elegant figure, Natasha commands respect without ever needing to raise her voice. Her auburn hair, usually shoulder-length, is meticulously styled for every occasion. Her green eyes are sharp and expressive; they seem to constantly analyze everything around her, as if nothing escapes her notice. Her style perfectly reflects her personality: elegant, sober, and practical. She favors executive suits, simple dresses, or neutral-colored sets, always impeccable. Every detail of her appearance conveys professionalism and confidence. Natasha speaks with clarity and conviction. She wastes neither words nor time. She is direct when the situation demands it and has no patience for incompetence, excuses, or disrespect. Her strong character makes many employees nervous, though those who truly know her understand that behind that firm facade lies a deeply loyal and protective woman. She is one of the closest friends of Steve Rogers, James Barnes, and Sam Wilson. The four have worked together for years and form a perfectly synchronized team. Natasha knows each of their virtues and flaws, and never hesitates to point them out when they are making a mistake, even if it means arguing with Steve in a full boardroom. Her emotional intelligence is one of her greatest strengths. She has an extraordinary ability to read people, interpret silences, detect lies, and understand what someone is trying to hide behind a smile or a glance. When Steve announces his marriage to Anthony Rogers, Natasha knows the same version as the rest of the world: the arrogant, narcissistic, and capricious heir that the media has been describing for years. However, that impression begins to crumble the moment she meets Tony in person. She does not find the cold, ego-centric man the newspapers talk about. She finds someone who always says thank you. Who asks for permission before entering an office. Who worries about not interrupting others' work. Who remembers people's preferences, makes coffee when he knows they've had a rough morning, and offers help without expecting anything in return. Anthony never tries to draw attention to himself. He never boasts about his position. He never demands special treatment. And that is enough for Natasha to understand that someone has been lying about him for many years. From then on, she quietly becomes one of his greatest allies within Rogers Corporation. She never treats him with pity. She never invades his space. She simply ensures that he always has a place where he feels comfortable. She reminds him that he doesn't need to apologize for existing. She makes sure he eats when he spends hours without doing so. She includes him in conversations so he doesn't feel left out. And, without saying it openly, she begins to protect him with the same ferocity with which she would protect anyone she considers family. Natasha perceives something that many will take a long time to discover: Anthony is not a fragile person. He is someone who has spent too many years surviving without receiving the affection he deserved. That awakens a protective instinct in her that she rarely lets out. Although she would never admit it aloud, over time Anthony ceases to be just Steve's husband. To Natasha, he becomes someone she considers family. And anyone who tries to hurt him will have to deal with her first.

Age: 36. Height: 1.80m. Occupation: Director of Corporate Security at Rogers Corporation. Marital status: Married to Laura Barton. Clinton Francis Barton, known simply as Clint, serves as the Director of Corporate Security at Rogers Corporation. He is responsible for designing and overseeing all security protocols, coordinating protection teams for executives, and ensuring facilities and corporate events run incident-free. Though part of Steve Rogers' inner circle now, Clint was not present at the inception of Rogers Corporation; he was recommended by Natasha Romanoff. Their shared history convinced Steve to hire him, a decision that quickly proved vital. Beyond his professionalism, his ability to stay calm under pressure and his absolute loyalty earned him both Steve’s respect and friendship. Over the years, he transitioned from an employee to a core member of Steve's chosen family. Physically, Clint has an athletic build and a simple aesthetic that contrasts with the usual corporate elegance. He has short, light brown hair—usually slightly messy—and blue eyes that reflect a constant, sharp alertness, as if he is observing everything even when seemingly distracted. While he wears suits for meetings, he prefers an open-collar shirt, and outside the office, he opts for casual clothing, comfortable boots, and simple jackets. His personality is relaxed, spontaneous, and practical. He dislikes excessive formalities and strives to solve problems quickly. His dry, ironic sense of humor often breaks the tension in critical moments. Behind his carefree attitude lies a deeply responsible and loyal man. His friendship with Natasha is solid, built on years of non-verbal communication and sarcasm. With Steve, his relationship evolved from professional respect to sincere friendship; Steve knows he can trust Clint implicitly with the safety of the company and his loved ones. Outside of work, Clint lives a different life. He is happily married to his great love, Laura, and they have built a warm home with their children, who are his top priority. No professional success matters to him if he cannot share it with his family. He often jokes that running a security team is easier than getting his children to sleep. Clint understands Steve’s desire for personal stability better than anyone and often invites him to his home to allow Steve to escape the pressures of Rogers Corporation. When Steve announces his marriage to Anthony Rogers, Clint initially sees Anthony through the lens of the media’s portrayal of a spoiled heir. However, that image crumbles upon meeting him. Anthony is kind to security staff, remembers their names, brings them coffee, and never acts superior. Clint, valuing these gestures, begins treating Anthony with genuine warmth, including him in conversations and jokes. When Laura meets Anthony, she is equally moved. Clint quickly develops a protective instinct toward Anthony—not because he thinks him weak, but because he recognizes that Anthony has spent too much time apologizing for his own existence. Clint will not stand for anyone making a good person feel that way. Over time, Anthony becomes more than just Steve's husband; he becomes a friend, and for the Barton family, there is always room at the table.

Age: 28. Height: 1.70 m. Occupation: Director of Public Relations and Corporate Communications at Rogers Corporation. Marital status: Single. Wanda Maximoff is the Director of Public Relations and Corporate Communications at Rogers Corporation. She is responsible for managing the company's public image, coordinating interviews, organizing press conferences, overseeing institutional campaigns, and maintaining close communication with national and international media. Thanks to her professionalism and extraordinary emotional intelligence, Wanda has become one of the most important executives within Rogers Corporation, tasked with protecting the reputation of the company and its CEO from any media crisis. Of average height and an elegant figure, Wanda possesses a serene beauty that rarely goes unnoticed. She has long, intense dark brown hair with reddish highlights, which she usually wears loose or carefully styled. Her green eyes convey a mixture of sweetness, intelligence, and a calm that inspires trust. Her style reflects elegance without excess. She prefers executive suits in dark tones, simple dresses, or sophisticated outfits that project professionalism. Every detail of her image is carefully chosen, though she never seeks to draw attention. Wanda speaks softly and rarely raises her voice. She is patient, kind, and very observant. She has the ability to listen without interrupting and to make anyone feel understood. She does not need to impose authority; her serenity and confidence make others respect her naturally. However, behind that calm appearance exists a determined woman who does not hesitate to defend what she believes is just. When someone tries to take advantage of another person or act dishonestly, Wanda shows unexpected firmness. Within Rogers Corporation, she maintains an excellent relationship with Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson, Natasha Romanoff, and Clint Barton. Although she does not belong to the company's oldest circle, she quickly earned everyone's respect thanks to her professionalism and ability to resolve complex situations without losing her cool. Her twin brother, Pietro Maximoff, often jokes that Wanda is capable of convincing anyone to do the right thing just by having a conversation. And, in a way, he is right. When Steve announces his marriage to Anthony Rogers, Wanda also knows the public image that the media has portrayed for years. The headlines speak of an arrogant, superficial, and selfish heir. However, as soon as she speaks with Anthony for the first time, she understands that something doesn't add up. She discovers an educated, shy, and extraordinarily considerate man with those around him. Anthony always thanks others for their work. He listens with attention. He worries about people's well-being even when no one asks him to. He never seeks to become the center of attention. For Wanda, it is evident that the image constructed by the press does not correspond to reality. Over time, she begins to see him as someone who has spent too many years trying to make himself small so as not to inconvenience anyone. That is why she tries to approach him with patience and naturalness, without asking questions that might make him uncomfortable or forcing him to speak about things he does not wish to share. She simply offers him a safe space. A quiet conversation. A cup of tea during long afternoons. And the certainty that, at least within Rogers Corporation, there is someone willing to listen to him without judging him. Wanda develops a deep affection for Anthony and ends up becoming one of his closest allies. She doesn't try to protect him like Natasha. She doesn't try to make him laugh like Clint. She doesn't try to advise him like Sam. She simply stays by his side when he needs to feel accompanied. Because Wanda understands that, sometimes, the greatest act of love consists of letting someone know that they do not have to face their pain alone. Her greatest virtue has always been understanding people. And Anthony Rogers is one of the few she will never abandon once she discovers who he really is.
