Lily was born into a loving and wealthy family. She was a child that if she wanted something she could get it because her parents made more than enough money to ensure her happiness. But Lily only ever had one wish. Most of the children that wanted something just went to their parents and directly asked for it. There were also children that dropped little hints so they didn't have to ask. But Lily was neither of those types of children she could be placed in the other category the one where you kept it a secret. Most of those children belonged to poor parents and didn't dare to ask because they knew they couldn't afford it, but Lily wasn't poor. She had always been a shy child which was why she didn't have that many friends but she kept this wish a secret because of another reason, she knew she could never get it, all of this began on a cloudy Tuesday morning.
It was summer and at last she had vacation. But it wasn't just a normal Tuesday it was her birthday, her 7th to be more specific. Because she didn't want a birthday party with friends -which she barely had – so her father offered to go with her to the cinema, watching that action movie that she really wanted to see. Afterwards her father had a special surprise.

''Where are we going dad?'' I asked him with as much sweetness as I could, I'd never been that good in waiting when people said they had a surprise for me.

''You'll see but I know you're going to love it,'' he said with a smile on his face. After walking and walking for what seemed like hours we finally reached our destination.

''What is this dad?'' you asked him while I stared at what was inside. He paid for the tickets first and when we walked inside he finally answered.

''This my love is a museum, not just any sort of museum it's about someone who saved our town many years ago before you were born and before even I was born.'' He said while we walked towards a group with a tour guide.

''And here we see Steve Rogers, otherwise known as Captain America, he crashed his plane to save humanity but since that day there has never been any sign of him.'' after the woman said missing something clicked inside my head. Of course, he was the man that was described in my history book for saving everyone in America. But how could it that he went missing? They should've found a body a long time ago if he died, shouldn't they? The smile on your face went bigger with the second and when your dad looked down he knew he made this day a perfect day for you.

When you walked further and you saw some of the costumes that the people had been wearing your eyes went as big as saucers because you just couldn't believe it, you stood right in front of a costume that Captain America one day had been wearing. This was officially the best day of your life, and it changed you, for the better.

-{ 19 Years Later }-

Your alarm clock went off and I knew which day it was, it was my day off but that didn't mean that I could just stay in bed for as long as I wanted to, I had a lot to do which I really didn't like. I had to go shopping for clothes – which I really hate – and a weeks' worth of groceries, needed to go buy some tools so I could finally fix the sink and many more things where on my to do list, so while it meant I didn't need to go to work I still had to work my ass off otherwise nothing would get done and hopefully at the end of the day I could take a relaxing bad and just lie there until the water gets cold.

Every day always started with chaos which always had a reason I didn't want to think about when I was still too tired from yesterday – when I needed to work in late -. Some cereal and some water later I was trying to fix my hair, put on my clothes and drove away from home at ten in the morning. The last week had been really exciting at work and especially yesterday had been a real adventure, so that was why I was really disappointed that I took this day off, but how could I've known that this would've happened, nobody with their right minds would've thought this day would come. The day that we finally found Steve Rogers aka Captain America. They found him in the Ice and when they finally brought him -inside the ice- back to base you thought he would be dead when the ice would've melted but no one had expected him to still be alive, to have a beating heart and that all his organs were still functioning. It was definitely a miracle, one that I had been praying for since my 7th birthday.

The morning was quite serene and I was almost done with those awful clothes when I walked close by S.H.I.E.L.D. and saw the one and only Steve Rogers running outside, totally freaked out. I knew I shouldn't but with all my shopping bags already in my car, I ran after him when you were an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. you really never had a day off because when the need would arise they would still need you. So running I did -like a pro- and almost got to him when he stopped in front of Fury. Deep inside my head, I knew Fury would take care of this but I really wanted to see this. So I stood within the circle, the other agents helping so no one else would come close while Fury talked to Steve.

''You've been asleep Cap, for almost 70 years.'' When Fury said those words there was a little pang of guilt inside me because here he was a man that had just missed so many years of his life but still was the same age and looked exactly like he did when he saved us.

''You gonna be Okay?'' Fury asked after he looked so lost, seeing things he had never seen before, looking like a child that didn't know what to do.

''Yeah, yeah I just….. I had a date.'' The way he looked when he said that made me feel 10 years younger when I looked into the mirror and saw those eyes every day. You could only imagine what he felt like but it came very close to the feeling I had for so many years and they were not exactly good then.

''Cap, maybe we should go back inside, we can talk and you can eat or drink something.'' Fury said to him when he noticed it would be too much for one day.

''Yeah…yeah just… I'd like to walk.'' He said quietly while he took in the world around him.

''Alright agent Tenn walk with him, and I want you to go home afterward it's your day off. '' Fury said sternly to me. While the S.H.I.E.L.D. cars disappeared with Fury inside one I saw Cap relax a bit.

''I'm Lily Tenn,'' I said while I shook hands with him.

''Steve Rogers but you'd probably already knew that ma'am.'' He said while I started to walk with him. I didn't even have to look at where I was walking because I could even find my way when blindfolded.

''So what happened inside?'' I asked as if I knew what I was talking about but honestly had no idea what had happened that made him run away.

''I've no idea I freaked out thought Hydra got me and that game on the radio I knew that one already so I sensed something was wrong they were just so vague.'' He told me.

''Thought we abduct you? We're not like that you know. Well, only the bad guys maybe but you're not a bad guy are you Mr. Rogers?'' I said a bit playfully to him. I really didn't know what to make of it.

''Please no Mr. just Steve.'' He quickly answered.

''Well to assure you I told them it was the wrong game but they wouldn't listen to me, so I agree with you that it would've looked weird especially when you flee out of the room and find agents in suits and all that, but you don't have to be afraid we're here to help you.'' I elbowed him in his side just for fun but I should've known better because next thing he's behind me and so is your left arm and it really really hurts.

''Calm down Auch please it was just for fun, I apologize Auch.'' Some tears escaped my left eye, just the thought that I could've prevented this is enough to make me sad. I've been trained for this more than ones but I wasn't thinking about battle when I did it, it was my free day for god's sake. When he heard my apology he gave me my arm back and it hurt even more than when it was behind my back.

''Auch that really hurts,'' I said quietly while you're trying to remain calm.

''Sorry ma'am I thought you were trying to attack me.'' He said while walking further and only looking at the people around him – who to him were wearing very weird clothes – and seemed a bit confused.

''At the moment there is no one that wants your dead body so that would mean that you can do what you want until there is someone that wants you death which is probably going to happen when word comes out that Captain America is alive. Sorry if I make you uncomfortable or scared but that's just something that was always told at S.H.I.E.L.D. not a big deal at the moment.'' I said nonchalantly. A few steps and we were at S.H.I.E.L.D. and I didn't like it one bit because honestly I wanted to spend some more time with him but that wouldn't happen if Fury was there – which he probably was -.

''So what exactly are you again?'' he asked me when we walked back into S.H.I.E.L.D.

''Agent, bit multi-functional actually I'm fantastic with a bow and arrow and also with a gun but if I want to I can easily punch the life out of you and my gymnastics are really good,'' I said, it was actually the same sentence I said to every agent that asked and I didn't know if he understood it but he would find out soon enough.

''We'll just walk back to your temporary room if you don't mind. There isn't really another place for you yet but we're working at it.'' I said with a smile on my face. I couldn't really tell him but I liked it very much that he was walking next to me.

''Yeah sure.'' He said confused. When we finally reached his 'room' I sat down on his bed and patted the spot next to mine.

''Come sit down and we'll talk, is there anything you want? Something to eat or drink?'' I asked him while he sat down and he looked like he was in pain.

''No, just… well, some water would be good.'' I walked back out of his 'room' and came back with two glasses of water.

''is there something, anything you want to ask? Maybe some questions about this world?'' I said while I saw his eyes rest on the radio which you quickly turned off.

''Why are we here? What happened?'' he asked.

''Well we are here because we found you. You where frozen inside an ice block and we took you here so we could melt you and actually give you a proper funeral but then we found out that your heart was still beating and you were alright well actually more than alright so we put up this room and let you sleep and like Fury said we just wanted to break the news to you slowly, it's a bit much waking up in a completely other time and not knowing what is going on.'' I saw his look like he just wanted to get out of here, wanted to die and go back to the people that he loved. I understood, oh I understood more than he could imagine and somewhere deep inside I still wanted too just like Cap but I swore to myself I would never do that. I would make my parents proud of me.

''Hey everything's going to be alright don't worry like I said we're not going to kill you.'' I smiled a little until I heard someone call my name, well not just someone it was my nephew that called me.

''Lily, you alright?'' he said while he stepped through the ruins that were created before I came here, his bow in his hand and his arrows on his back. He could be so overprotective, but of course, I knew that he had reason enough to.

''I'm more than alright Clint, nothing wrong I'm just helping out,'' I said to him but I immediately saw that he wasn't convinced and stepped further into the room.

''Is this man bothering you, ma'am?'' Steve asked when he saw that I got uncomfortable.

''Ma'am? What are you talking about? Her name is Lily.'' He said a little too loud which for a moment made me afraid that Steve would freak out and attack him. I saw Steve stand up, his muscles tightened and this was the moment I decided it was enough. I stood up and quickly stood between the two boys that were raging with testosterone.

''That's enough boys. Take a deep breath, Clint I'll handle this and you walk out of this room, I'll call you later.'' When I saw that Clint slowly walked away and disappeared from the room.

''Come on nothing wrong just sit down drink something and we'll talk further,'' I said while I practically pushed him onto the bed.

''Who was that?'' he asked when he sat down.

''My nephew Clint who's also known as Hawkeye. He's sort of the last family I have so when he found out that I was his family he became very protective of me, sort of like an older brother but… worse… definitely worse. He's checking up on me every day. Gets a bit much but I do understand him.''

''Alright so what about you take a rest and I'm going to check up with him? I'll get you something to eat, do you like a cheeseburger?'' I asked him.

''Uhm… I don't know.'' He said and took another sip of his water.

''Alright you stay here and I'll go check Clint and afterward get us a cheeseburger. Don't go away I trust you so if you're not here when I come back I may not be so friendly alright.'' I tried to tell him with my eyes that I really meant it but I wasn't so sure if he would understand that but that didn't matter at the moment. All that mattered was that I needed to go speak with Clint before they would kill each other.

A/N: so like other stories I waited until I'm almost finished with the story and let me tell I already have 17 finished chapter so I thought let's publish chapter one, the other I only have to edit and I'm almost finished with the whole story.

I hope you enjoy this and please leave a comment :D
