(This is going to be my first attempt at an actual, linear story. I probably won't update this frequently, due to school and all that jazz. Anyways, if you liked it, please leave a review and tell me what I could do better!)
Obviously, I don't own these characters.
(Song: Triumph - Wu-Tang Clan)
It had been a normal day at Avengers Tower for Steve Rogers when his new cell phone rang. At first, he had expected it to be one of his teammates (probably Stark just trying to mess with him). Who he got was completely different.
Steve's first reaction when he saw the name on the burner phone was complete and utter shock. After all, he had never expected to come into contact with her after he had crashed Red Skull's plane into the Arctic, saving the Eastern US in the process. He briefly remembered thinking that he was unable to say goodbye to either of the women in his life before he seemingly sacrificed himself. He had tried to reconnect with Peggy Carter, but she had grown old. It actually kind of depressed him that so many people from his past life had either grown old or passed on naturally. But this woman... she was different for sure. Steve had to double check the name to make sure it was who he thought it was. He was correct.
Diana Prince.
Most people had simply assumed that Steve was the world's first superhero, what with the whole supersoldier story being very, very public. They were wrong. The first superhero had debuted in World War One, in a town known as Veld, Belgium.
Steve had met Diana, or the supposed "Angel of Veld" on a battlefield in 1943. The two of them had hit it off very quickly, what with the two of them being the only so-called "superheroes" of their time. Diana had more experience and raw power of the two, but she greatly respected Steve as a person rather than as another soldier.
The two of them had ended up developing a chemistry of sorts, on and off the battlefield. Diana had even taught Steve some of the moves he had ended up using over the course of the rest of the war, but he always had her beat in shield throwing. Actually, one of the moves he had taught him simply involved using his shield as a launch pad for an attacker.
Speaking of shields, one of the most memorable moments of Steve's life came towards the end of a particularly exhausting battle against a few Hydra squads in Italy. The rest of the Howling Commandos had been called away for some stealth related mission, leaving Steve and Diana to face a few hundred Hydra goons by themselves. You know, casually.
Of course, Hydra's men never had a chance. Between the raw power of Diana, going by Wonder Woman at this point, and Steve's superhuman strength and skills, most of the Nazis were removed from the equation in a matter of minutes. The finisher was seared into Steve's mind.

The vast majority of the enemy's forces had been injured lethally or killed outright by the combined forces of Captain America and Wonder Woman. However, a few dozen of the enemy still resided in the tallest building of the village they had fought in, taking potshots at the two superhumans. Steve had taken cover behind some of the rubble, shield in hand, while Diana was blocking bullet after bullet with her bracelets. Strangely, both seemed to have smirks on their faces.
"Diana," screamed Steve above the sounds of firing bullets. His grin seemed to get even larger. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
Diana glanced over at Steve, momentarily confused until he saw him tapping his shield with one hand. Then, her lips curved into a smile to match his.
Quickly, she rushed behind Steve, blocking bullets the whole time. Steve stood up from under the rubble, blocking bullets that were suddenly being fired at him as well. The two heroes locked eyes, before Diana spoke.
"Go ahead, make the call."
At the top of his lungs, Steve screamed, "SHIELD!"
Suddenly, Diana bounded towards Steve, covering a few dozen yards of distance in a heartbeat. Steve immediately raised his shield, and Diana leaped up onto it. As Steve pushed up, Diana took another, significantly larger jump.
Steve could only watched as Diana soared towards the building Hydra's remaining forces were stationed in like a missile, fist cocked back, ready to strike. At the same time, Steve broke into a full sprint onwards the base, reasoning that Hydra would be too occupied with the demigoddess flying towards them to notice him.
At that point, Diana crashed into the complex Hydra was in. Suffice it to say, the complex didn't fare so well. The earth seemed to shake as the building crumbled into pieces. Most of the Hydra operatives were knocked unconscious instantaneously.
The only Hydra operative that remained was, oddly, the communications operator. He was quivering in fear, desperately trying to send an SOS to his higher ups as Diana approached him, sword drawn. Before she could strike him down, a loud clang could be heard as Steve's shield made contact with the back of the man's head.
Diana turned to see Steve catch his shield and approach her, a worn smile on his face. "Well, I guess that means mission accomplished," he spoke.
She matched the smile. "Indeed," she responded, glancing at the message the communicator had been trying to send. She let out a soft chuckle, causing Steve to look at her quizzically.
"Oh, it's just the message he was trying to send. I found it kind of funny is all.'
—
"Send help. Two superhumans. Gods even."
Steve remembered that message vividly, especially now that superheroes and literal gods had gotten much more prominent after he woke up from the ice. 1943 seemed so much simpler to him, what with him and Diana being the only heroes of the time. Sighing, he looked back to his phone before pressing Accept Call.
"It's been a long time, Diana." Steve said, not knowing what to expect from the Amazon. He was hoping that she wouldn't be too angry.
"Yes, it has, Steve. I was the happiest I had been in years when I heard that you had been found. But we need to talk."
(So that'll be my first chapter. For the record, this story picks up after the end of The Winter Soldier, but before Age of Ultron. I'm thinking of integrating Wonder Woman into that movie. We'll see how it goes. Anyways, leave a review if you liked it!)
