Prologue:
He was coming to. The sounds of a baseball game assault his ears before he even opens his eyes. But there are other noises. A sizzling hiss and the smell of something burning. He struggled to sit up, seeing the soft glow of light coming in from the windows. He blinked rapidly until his eyes focused, then he looked around the room. Straight out of your typical 'white bread' New York apartment...in the 1940s. All except for what now occupied the corner. A girl sat in a chair 'indian style' with something on her lap, things that looked like parts he recognized Howard's lab, strewn across the dresser. Long hair...that looked like it was cupcake pink, fading into rich black/brow at the roots...was pulled back and put in a braid, that was coiled in the high color of her coat. Her coat was silver with black design, that seemed to be over a blue and white striped top. One that had a corseted look, he'd seen Bucky's Aunt Imogene wearing a top just like it. Then a green plaid skirt and pair of shoes that were pink and black striped. She wore goggles and had on protective gloves. And she paid him no mind. But it looked like she was waiting for something.
Steve's eyes went to the door, his gaze drawn from the girl to a military nurse who just entered the room. It was almost as if the girl was invisible to the nurse. But the slight twitch of the woman's hand showed that she was frustrated, the woman not even bothering to look when Steve pointed the girl out. The woman was actively trying to ignore the girl...which was one of a few signs that something was most DEFINITELY wrong. Steve's gaze flicked to the girl and she was putting her things into her bag, before sitting back down in the chair. Steve's gaze flicked back to the nurse once more.
Steve listened to the game on the radio, ignoring the nurse. He did hear the girl in the corner snicker silently, clearing her throat quietly and actively make noise. He kept an eye on the nurse and she seemed affected by the noise that the girl was making. He looked at the girl a third time, noticing that her eyes were a soft green and they seemed to be smiling at him. It slowly came to Steve that there was something severely wrong there. Steve spoke, turning just right and held his hand out behind his back. He felt the girl's hand slip into his and he pulled her against his back, backing toward the wall. The girl, after being backed against the wall, gave it a hard kick, not phased when a 10x10 square of plywood 'wall' fell. Steve took the chance to bolt, the girl following as she still held on to his hand. 'Code 13' was heard being called over some kind of speaker system. And something about a 'Tony Stark' and 'Maria'.
Steve faintly wondered if that was the girl's name. Steve stopped in the street, when they made it out of the building, completely stunned by what lay before them. The girl tapped Steve's arm, pointing down to where a car was parked conspicuously in the middle of the street. A man sitting at the wheel and a red haired woman seemed to be waiting.
Steve kept the girl close and made his way to the car, dodging men from the building left and right. They barely made it to the car, but they managed. Steve and the girl were sprawled across the backseat, from Steve diving in first and the girl diving in after him. So she was sprawled atop him, smiling light green eyes looking down at him.
"Well," She panted, "that was fun."
