Chapter 1

Leaning my head on the aircraft window I stared out at the clear blue sky. It had been just over a whole year since the Brooklyn incident. A lot had happened in that time so maybe I should start at the beginning…

It had been around three months of life as a Shield Agent, when it was decided that I was to be given a more permanent partner. At first the thought hadn't excited me… I'll be honest, I'd had trust issues ever since my parents died. But I didn't expect the surprise I had. My new partner's name, well she was referred to as 'Hydro Blade'. Her real name was Amelia Harbour, but the crazy thing was… the fact I knew her. When I had lived in Iowa until I was nine, her and her parents had lived next door to mine. We had grown up together and had been close friends. Even at a young age I was bullied and Amelia had stuck up for me. In the same year that we both turned six, each of our parents were brutally murdered. Amelia had left to go and live with her grandparents, I hadn't seen her since. We had re-connected on that day. I discovered she was involved in a crash when she was travelling to her grandparents. She had some form of mutation allowing her to control water. From that day onwards she had been raised by Shield and worked as an Agent as long as she could remember. The two of us along with Steve and Clint had spoilt the plans of 'The Witch'. The Witch was a notorious villain who controlled the elements Fire and Ice. His real name was Nathaniel Rowan, and he was the man who had murdered my parents. We had stopped his plans, during this I had gained my own superhero identity. I had been called 'Cosmic Winter', with help from my new friend Colin Williams, who was entering his early teens. I had formed a strong brotherly-sisterly relationship with him, which I'm sure his single mother, Rachael Williams, greatly appreciated. Well we had destroyed many of The Witch's bases, in which I had nearly died in an explosion. Luckily I had managed to drag myself out the wreckage, to receive a bone crushing hug from Amelia.

After all of this, I had helped Steve with a problem of his own. We tracked down an assassin known as 'The Winter Solider' with the help of Sam Wilson or the 'Falcon' as he was better called. We found out this 'Winter Solider' was no other than Bucky Barnes, friend of Steve who was presumed dead when he fell of a speeding train about what… around 70 years ago. He was now a brain washed, bionic assassin who was working under 'Crossbones'. A mercenary who stood by all of the standards that 'Red Skull' had created. We stopped his assault on New York where Steve had nearly died destroying the plane. It was after this that the two of us, well he showed that he felt the same way I did. After visiting a retired Peggy Carter and giving her that dance Steve had always promised her… we made it official, me and Steve became a couple.

What had me most curious was the disappearance of Bucky, he had regained his memory and was so terrorised by what he had done that he fled without another word.

Steve was so shook up by Bucky, that neither I nor Sam knew what to say or do.

I shut my eyes, shaking my head to disperse the flashbacks of the past year or so. Smiling to myself I looked through my phone contacts; Phillip Coulson (who was surprisingly alive, from what I heard the guy had nearly died at the hands of Loki), Peggy Carter, Sharon Carter (niece of Peggy and agent of SHIELD), Sam Wilson and Rhodey.

The aircraft then jerked slightly as we landed. The pilot turned to me, "We've arrived Agent Winters."

I nodded opening up the door.

"Thanks Agent Nielson," I cried out my shoulder as I jumped out the aircraft. Bag over shoulder and phone in hand I walked from aircraft. I entered through the back entrance of the SHIELD base. It was simply set out with doors to offices and training areas.

I stopped outside a door, knocking on in.

A familiar voice replied, "Enter."

I walked inside to see Agent Maria Hill sat behind a desk, filing paperwork.

Reaching inside my bag I grabbed my mission report.

"Agent Hill," I said as I handed her the report. She pointed to the desk where I placed it.

I turned to leave.

"Winters," Hill called.

I turned back meeting her gaze.

"Enjoy your 21st birthday," she told me with a smile.

"Thanks Agent Hill," I replied as I left through the door.

It was true, I had a whole week off and on the Saturday was my 21st birthday. I had no idea what I was doing, but I presumed a 'party' of some kind had been organised by Pepper and Tony, due to all the whispered secrecy.

Walking down the corridor I headed towards the main entrance, phone in hand I pressed the buttons ringing Steve. He was supposed to be picking me up and taking me back to Stark… no we referred to it as Avengers tower now.

I waited patiently as I heard the phone being picked up, good that was a sign he was driving.

"Hey, how far away are you?" I asked with a sweet tone in my voice.

"I'm parked outside," he replied.

My smile grew wide, I hadn't seen him since two weeks ago and to know he was just outside… well it was hard not to squeal with glee. Containing myself, I hung up then I walked at a quickened pace towards the double doors. My grin widened even more as I spotted him. There he was, stood beside his jet black American chopper motorcycle waiting for me.

Steve looked up meeting my gaze, his grin was not easily concealed as I walked over.

He leaned down wrapping me up in his arms, he whispered in my ear, "I missed you."

Wrapping my arms around his neck I smiled whispering back, "I missed you too."

Planting a small kiss on his lips, I smiled at him cheekily.

"So can a girl get a lift to New York City?" I asked teasingly.

He smirked, "Do you need to ask?"

"Not really," I winked. He climbed on front starting up the motorcycle. Sitting behind him, I wrapped my arms around his waist. We took off from the base heading out onto the back road leading to Manhattan…
