Prologue

Breath in. Breath out. Those were the two things she tried to focus on as she stood in front of the apartment door. Why was she so nervous? It wasn't like she was meeting her grandfather. For the first time. Oh, and he just happened to be Captain America. She tucked a strand of curly brown hair behind her ear and let out another deep breath. She raised a hand and knocked on the door. A minute later the door opened and Steve Rogers appeared looking like he had just gotten out of the shower.

"Captain Rogers?" Wendy asked timidly.

"What does Fury want with me now?" Steve said, not unkindly.

"Well, I do work for SHEILD, Fury didn't send me. I came on my own accord," Wendy replied.

"Look," Steve said with a sigh. "I really don't feel like signing anymore autographs."

"I don't want an autograph from you. My name is Agent Wendy Rogers. I'm your granddaughter," Wendy told him firmly.

Steve looked at her in surprise, not taking his eyes off of her. Wendy cleared her throat, shaking him out of the trance.

"Come in," Steve said and stepped aside to let her in.

Steve smiled as he closed the door and watched her as she looked around the apartment. What she didn't know was that he had already known who she was from the moment she stepped through the door of his apartment.
