Steve Rogers turned around and stared down the one-eyed commander, "I will not do it! Just what do you think you're going to get out of this? I know how to read, okay?"

"It's just a few history lessons" Nick Fury shrugged, "I don't see how you're being so uptight about it. Don't you want to know what happened while you were asleep? In the past 70 years, a lot has changed"

"So I've noticed. But if I wanted to know what happened, all I can do is read" Steve reminded, "I'm just not in the mood to go back into school"

"We've tried that, remember?" Fury nodded to the stacks of books in the corner, "We need you to be up to speed with things. Just to be safe"

"I can function just fine in this world" Steve told him.

"You didn't know how to work a GPS" Nick countered, "In this day; you really need to rely on those things"

"Back in my day, we did just fine with maps" Steve gave a fake happy smile.

"I'm sorry, but you left us with no choice. Besides, I think you two will most likely bond" Nick Fury mentioned, "This woman, Irene Hill, is a mutant. She's also under a watchful eye as an upcoming agent for S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Hill? I've heard of that name before. She can't be related to Maria Hill in anyway, right?" Steve asked.

Almost like as if that was his cue, Nick Fury walked over to Steve Rogers and handed him a file. Steve sighed and took it and noticed that the side had 'Irene Hill' written on the side. He opened it to see a young brunette with slightly curly hair and brown eyes. She was in the middle of two women around her same age, one being Maria Hill.

"Irene is Maria's older sister" Nick Fury informed.

"No way" Steve chuckled to himself, "I always thought that Miss Hill would be an older sibling, not the youngest of three"

Steve Rogers looked back down to the profile and scanned it as much as he could. He noticed that she had a unique extra line that said gifts. One of them was simply written as Persuasion with a slight definition right next to it. It read; the ability to talk another into doing anything, whether it be performing an action or simply into believing anything.

Her second power read, Light Manipulation. The further definition written stated; the power to generate, manipulate and absorb light particles. He tilted his head to the side in a slight nod of approval on how unique her powers were. But it felt almost like as if there was something different in this case then what people have been saying lately.

Like he further stated, he wasn't blind and could very much read. He knew exactly how the people of today's world felt about people like Irene. They were terrified of them, wanted them hunted down and killed like they were beasts. Something S.H.I.E.L.D. forgot to mention to him.

So then that must've meant that there was something special about this woman that Fury hasn't really let on. It couldn't be just because she was the older sister of Maria Hill which he quickly ruled out. He already knew of a few powerful mutants that were out there that should be under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s supervision other than this woman. That was when he had flipped the page and noticed the records that seemed to be as big as his arm.

"I was hoping you weren't going to flip the page" Fury commented.

Steve barely comprehended what Fury had said as he looked at the miles and miles of police reports that she was under. Whatever was made illegal, she had basically done it. He was surprised that this woman wasn't even in jail for half of the things she did. He looked up from the file and faced Nick Fury with his mouth hanging open.

"You want me to work with a delinquent?" Steve Rogers complained.

Steve Rogers closed the file and handed it back to Nick Fury as he walked over to pick up his things. He unrolled the tape around his wrist and knuckles as he felt the need to get out of the room. He knew this conversation was far from over. Steve hadn't known Fury for a while but he knew that this man wouldn't need that mutant's power to convince people to do anything for him.

"She's agreed to work with you under one condition" Fury explained, "That her slate gets wiped off clean"

Steve scoffed as a bit of his dirty blonde hair bounced up as he zipped the duffel bag shut. How many times has he heard that one? Either the person who gets the clean slate dirties it up again or there is no clean slate to begin with. He hoisted the bag over his shoulder and couldn't believe that Nick Fury was buying into this.

He understood that he wasn't giving Irene much of a chance just because of her record, but he really couldn't take the risk. He didn't want to be here anyways. All he wanted more than ever after waking up was to go back to sleep and see that this was all just a dream. And each morning he has been faced with more and more disappointment.

"You realize she isn't going to keep her end of the deal" Steve Rogers told the commander.

"I'm not usually the one to be so easily convinced" Fury shrugged, "But Maria begged me to spare her sisters life and that she would put her down herself if she starts to act up"

"That's a bit cruel, don't you think?" Steve asked.

"We'll just have to find out" Fury replied.

"She's her sister" Steve countered, "Asking her to kill her is practically inhumane. You would need to find someone else to do it, Commander"

"Then you do it, Captain" Fury responded.

"I won't" Steve sighed, "Because she won't break her promise"

Steve walked past Fury and went down the hall of a rundown gym that he's been occupying. He walked over to the elevator shaft and buzzed for the moving room. Fury silently joined him as he door opened and the two walked inside in unison. Steve pressed a button for the ground floor as Nick Fury put on his gloves nonchalantly.

"I'm curious" Fury broke the silence, "How are you so sure of that?"

"Because I won't let her" Steve responded.

Nick couldn't help but give off a smile on his face. He knew the Captain would pull through on this deal. He probably didn't like the whole school lesson crap but it gave him someone to talk to now. Even if Miss Irene Hill wasn't the most ideal person around.

"You'll start in a couple of days"

Steve watched as Nick Fury walked out of the shaft and left out in the main entrance. Steve just stayed back and sighed before taking out a worn picture of Peggy Carter.

He knew she was still alive. But she was going to be old and gray like how he imagined he would be by her side. Steve let out another sigh as he traced his thumb over her pleasant face. What he would give in order to go back in time.

"I miss you. You have no idea how much" he whispered, "I'm sorry. I just don't have the strength to visit you"

Steve put the picture back into his pocket and walked out of the elevator. His heart grew heavy as he pushed open the door and went over to his motorcycle. He could practically recite what Peggy's address was but fear made him think twice about it. He slammed his foot down and his motorcycle jolted to life.

"This will definitely be interesting. Captain America and a mutant delinquent. What could possibly go wrong with that one?" Steve mumbled to himself, "Better get going, Steve. A God awful microwave dinner is just waiting for me at home"
