So this is an intro to a verse i have in mind. Stephanie Rogers is the femsteve. Enjoy!


She was a frail and pale being. Stephanie Rogers was your typical victim from the depression; she was weak, famished, and very sick. Though her physical aspect was sympathetic her character was strong and she would always defend herself from any form of unjust behavior. She was a gifted person with a very kind heart. She knew what was right and wrong and always chose to be on the good side. She was also a gifted artist and was attending a fine arts school when rumors of a second world war began. She wanted to make a difference and help her country with whatever way possible. However, her ambitions were probably too high on par with what she was capable of physically doing. Bucky, her best friend since child hood had just registered into the army and she thought she could do it too.

Her mother had just passed away with pneumonia and Stephanie was feeling very down. Bucky couldn't seem to get her out of her small apartment in the heart of Brooklyn. It had been weeks since Stephanie had seen sunlight; she even gave up on finishing school.

"KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!"

"Hey Steph come on out I brought you some lunch!" Bucky exclaimed after he knocked on the door.

The door slowly opened to a small figure covered completely in a blue blanket and all he could see were piercing baby blue eyes staring back at him. This in retort made the broad shouldered man giggle to a great extent. The figure covered with the blanket just made a 180 spin and went back to her worn out couch. Bucky sat right next to the figure and immediately went to uncover the soul from her suffocating device. Try as she might the figure fought as much as she could to keep the blanket on her but failed tremendously. She then gave the man a pout to his actions.

"You look so cute when you pout, you know that?" Bucky said as his right hand went for his pocket to take out something. "Here I brought you some candy to cheer you up." With that he gave the small girl the candy.

Immediately, the small girl gave Bucky a tremendous smile and started gobbling down the said candy.

"Thank you so much Bucky! Oh gosh these are so good! How could you afford them?" Said the blonde lady.

"Hey, don't worry about that Steph, now what I want is—"

"I knew this day was too good to be true…what did you want from me Bucky?" Steph had interrupted him.

"Well I've been worried for the past few weeks, and constantly thinking if you're okay. I miss you; I miss us hanging out. It's just not the same without you. I know what happened to your…well to your mom but enough is enough Steph, your mother would not want to see you suffering like this." He regretted even mentioning Steph's mom because now she was teary-eyed trying to hold her tears back.

"Aw chucks, I'm really sorry Steph, I didn't mean to." Bucky apologized as he went for her arm to console her.

"No don't fret it, and you're right I shouldn't be stuck in here anymore. So what did you have in mind?" Steph said as she used her hands to wipe the hidden tears from her eyes. Bucky had ruffled her hair and smiled back.

"Today Howard stark, you know they super rich guy that is super smart, well today he is showcasing his new invention at the fair and well I was wondering if you would want to come with me, besides I want to spend my last day here with you before I leave to camp tomorrow."

"What? You're leaving tomorrow, how come you never told me!" Asked a very hurt and confused Stephanie.

"I tried but you never answered the door! Until today now go shower you look horrible and get ready! I will leave without you and you know it so hurry up!"

"That is so rude of you Bucky! Fine, give me a minute."

30 minutes later she was out and staring at a sleeping Bucky. He looked so happy when he was asleep and she was glad to have him in her life. He was always there for her in school whenever someone made fun of her or bullied her. He was always there for her whenever she would get hurt or injure herself. He always knew what to do and she couldn't imagine living life without him, he was in fact her only friend. She got super close to his hear and yelled,

"BUCKY WAKE UP!" she then laughed as his expression was the least expected. He shrilled like a little girl.

"Ha, So much for leaving without me!" Stephanie said punching him lightly on his shoulder.

"Yeah, yeah whatever Steph let's get going!" Bucky said as he messed her hair up again.

When they got to the fair, Steph was in awe, it had been a long time since she had gone to a fair. They ate funnel cake, got in the rides and were now heading to the feature presentation. Before they got there though a beautiful brunette went up to Bucky and tapped his shoulder.

"Well, well, well Bucky long time no see, I didn't know you had a little brother." The woman smiled and laughed, she knew who Stephanie was but Stephanie was used to being referred to as a boy since she was very flat chested.

"Leave her alone Melanie, I thought I told you we were through now get going will ya, jeez…" Bucky said and dismissed the lady as he put a hand around Stephanie and walked her to the presentation.

"Thanks Bucky, it means a lot that you always have my back." Stephanie said with a huge smile.

Bucky just stared at her and smiled, his thoughts though were interrupted by an announcer.

" Ladies and gentlemen, please give a loud round of applause for the man of the future, the play boy genius, MR. HOWARDDD STAAARRRRRRKKKK!"

Bucky and Stephanie were rushed to find a good spot and out came Howard onto the stage.

"He's so handsome" Stephanie thought as she saw the genius walk around the stage and flirt with all the ladies on stage.

"Thank you thank you thank you! Hehe, I love you too! Now Good Evening everybody! Ladies and gentlemen, what if I told you that in just a few short years, your automobile won't even have to touch the ground at all." Howard says. Some female helpers take the car on stage.

"With Stark robotic reversion technology, you'll be able to do just that." He then pressed a button that had the car go up and float as if it were flying.

"Holy Cow!" Exclaimed Bucky amazed at the invention.

The car though after a long minute fell to the floor unintended.

"I did say a few years, didn't I?" Howard excused still cleaning his presentation and having many people applauding his genius.

Stephanie was mesmerized but took a second to look around her surrounding and saw an Uncle Sam poster; she came up with an idea.

"Bucky, let's go to the examination room for recruiting."

"What? Stephanie no! You are not gonna register!" Bucky said as he tried chasing after her.

"I have every right as a man does, I want to protect this country! I don't want America to be bullied like I am!"

He stopped her. "Steph, this is ridiculous! First of all you're a girl, and second your health isn't so great, it's a waste of time to even think about recruiting!"

Before going into the room Stephanie had thought things over and went up to hug Bucky. She then whispered into his ear.

"I'll be alright, now go on, don't win the war till I get there!" she then ran into the building without letting Bucky convince her otherwise.

What Bucky didn't know though was that this was her sixth time trying to sign up for the war. She had cut her hair short to make her look more like a boy the second time she went to sign up, every doctor after then truly believed she was a boy until she had to remove her clothe. But she wasn't going to give up.

This time around a doctor Erskine was to examine her.

"So you want to go overseas? Kill some Nazis." Dr. Erskine flat out asked the girl.

"Excuse me?"

"Where are you from Ms. Rogers? Mmm? Is it New Haven? Or Paramus? Five exams in five different cities. And all of them stating your true gender.

"That might not be the right file."

"Not, It's the exams I'm interested in. It's the five tries. But you didn't answer my question. Do you want to kill Nazis?"

"Is this a test?"

"Yes."
"I don't wanna kill anyone. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.
Well, there are already so many big men fighting this war. Maybe what we need now is the little gal, huh?" Stephanie tried as much as she could to persuade the doctor.

"I can offer you a chance. Only a chance." Said the nice doctor.

"I'll take it!" Yelled Stephanie.

"Good, but you must try hard to remain your identity as a male. So where exactly are you from?"

"Brooklyn."

The doctor stamped the file and gave it back to Stephanie. He then congratulated her and left.

She had done it, she was finally going to help her country, and be by Bucky's side. Everything was falling into place.
