Steve woke up to the sound of his alarm clock ringing in his ear. He tiredly slammed his hand on the snooze button, it was already 10: 30 am, but he was so tired from working late last night. All he wanted to do was go back to sleep. He rolled over onto his side and lying next to him he saw his wife, Melody. She had light fair skin and straight long dark brown hair. Steve watched as she slept. Her chest rising and falling with every breathe and the way her hair fell perfectly into place even as she slept. She looked like an angel. How did he get so lucky? He never thought he would fall in love with anyone again, but he did. Everything about her was flawless, her hair, her eyes, her voice, her personality. And she loved him back. He still didn't understand why. Why has she loved him for almost 10 years? He was an old man trapped in a young man`s body, he was a super hero without any real powers. …and yet she loved him with all her heart.

Melody`s eyes started to flatter. Her green eyes revealed themselves as she opened her eyes.

"Good morning." He said with a smile.

She smiled.

"Good morning." she replied with a yawn. "Are the kids up yet?"

"I don't think so, I haven't heard the TV blasting yet."

Melody laughed.

Melody moved closer to her husband and laid on his shoulder. He put his arm around her and she rests her head on his chest. Steve kissed her head, she looked up at him and kissed his lips.

Suddenly the two heard the door slam open. They looked over to the door and saw there 8 year old daughter Amelia (nickname Mia) standing in the doorway. Amelia had long curly blonde hair and brown eyes. She had freckles on her cheeks and light skin. She was wearing pink PJs and holding broken Barbie doll in her hand. She ran over to her parent`s bed and climbed in-between Melody and Steve.

"Daddy! My doll broke! Can you fix it for me?" Amelia asked. Showing him the doll and the detached head.

"Of course I will." He promised. He kissed her head.

Steve and Melody began to cook breakfast. As Mia played peek a boo with her 3 month old brother, Todd.

"So I have the best news to tell you." Steve said excitedly.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Fury has approved your request to join the avengers!"

She turned to him with a huge smile on her face. Then shoved him playfully.

"You're kidding!" she said excitedly.

"I`m not kidding, you start today." Steve told her. "After you asked to join, shield has been keeping an eye out for your battles and he thinks you are incredibly skilled."

"I can't believe this! Oh my gosh!"

She hugged him then kissed his lips.

She turned toward her kids.

"Did you hear that kids? I`m gana be an avenger!" Melody said excitedly.

"Awesome I'm gana be the coolest kid at school now." Mia replied. "No one else has two parents on the avengers."

Melody laughed. Then kissed Mia`s cheek. Then she took the baby in her hands and put him in his high chair for breakfast.

The couple stood with the avenger in downtown New York City. They saw new villains were causing chaos. The villains all looked the same they were tall men with spikey green hair and green eyes. He had blue skin and dressed in a yellow robe and white pants. His back was towards them. Steve held her hand in his not wanting to let her go. He worried about her, he knew in this line of work anything could happen. He kissed her passionately.

"Get a room you two!" Tony joked.

Melody blushed. Steve smiled at her than turned to the team.

"Does everyone know what they have to do?" Steve asked his team.

They all nodded.

"Then everyone get into position!"

All the citizens were shivering in their short shorts and tank tops, some even turned pale. Melody out stretched her arms and opened her palms toward the sky. The air became hotter and the snow began to melt. Then she made her palms face towards the villain and a burst of wind came out of her hands and knocked down the villain. The crowd cheered. The villain got up slowly. He faced toward Melody.

"You have no idea what you are getting yourself into." He growled.

Melody rolled her eyes.

"Please I've been doing this hero thing for years I've seen it all and herd every depressing back story imaginable."

"You've never seen a thing like me."

"Actually I'm seeing a lot of you. If you haven't noticed your whole team looks exactly like you."

"You talk too much. "

Melody put her open hands in the air then slowly brought them down to the level of her chest. Then ice crystals came out. But the villain moved out of the way she moved her arms as he moved. The villain used his abilities to make a gun float out of one of the cops, on the side lines hands. He pointed the gun at melody. As the villain pulled the trigger Steve ran in front of her and blocked the bullets with his shield.

The villain yawned.

"Is that your best?" he asked. "This is boring."

Melody bangs her fists down in the air and fire comes out. She ran toward Asena, he didn't move he only went into his pocket and took out a very small ray gun, about as small as a pair of glasses. He aimed it at Melody and shoot it. The blast was huge it knocked Meg back and into a building.

"Now it's time for the end of your days." The creature told her.

Steve ran toward the villain and punched the villa in the face. Steve ran toward Melody.

Melody got up slowly, but she was disoriented. Steve ran toward Melody. He grabbed her hands and helped her up.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

She held her head in pain.

"I'll be okay."

The villain stepped away from the building, and with only his mind he set the building go on fire. The people in the building`s screams were loud and full of pain. The villain smiled with pleasure. Steve and melody looked around and saw the building falling apart in front of them. There were children crying and families huddling together in fear.

"We have to help them. " Melody said. "I'll put the flames out with my powers. You save the people."

"Mel, you're not strong enough!" Steve told her. "Just get out of here, I'll save them."

"I have to try! There are 23 floors. There is no way even you can save everyone!"

"But I don't want to lose you, Mel."

"You're not going to lose me."

She kissed his check quickly.

Steve searched the building, but as he went higher up in the building he found more dead people then alive. He rescued all the people he could. Then he only heard a single yell for help he ran to the direction of the scream and then all of a sudden…..it stopped. He ran faster and into the room where sound came from. There in that room he saw his wife lying on the floor.

"Mel?" He said with sadness in his voice. He kneeled beside her. She looked up at him.

"Steve? …..is that-that…you?" she was struggling to get the words.

Steve picked Melody up, and held her in his arms. Tears screamed from his face.

"Don't talk," he told her. "I'm going to get you help, I promise. There's an ambulance outside I'll bring you to them and they fix you up."

"Its…it's too late…."

"No don't say that. Please!"

"….I love you and the kids very much. And…..just take care of the kids….don't leave them alone in this world…."

"Please don't leave me." he begged.

But she didn't respond. He knew she was dead.

He carried her out of the building. There was a crowd of people and police men surrounding the area. The crowd started to murmur. Steve brought her to the ambulance. His team gathered around him. None of them knew what to say.

The Avengers arrived at the front porch of Steve`s home. They had won the battle but you wouldn't be able to tell that from their faces. They all looked mournful and sad. They lost an avenger and friend in the battle. Although she wasn't a part of the team for very. They all knew her and they all considered themselves her friends.

"I can't do this." Steve said as he stopped in front of the door. "She's going to be crushed. I can't do this to her."

"You have to be the one to tell her you're her father." Natasha told him. "she`s gana need you now more than ever."

"Natasha is right." Bruce agreed. "Mia needs to know that she may have lost Melody, but you're still going to be here for her."

He nodded.

"I know your right." Steve agreed.

Steve walked into the main room of the house, the others following behind him. Amelia sat at a table with her babysitter as they worked on her homework.

Amelia was dressed in a striped pink and white sundress and white sandals. As soon as his daughter noticed he was home her face lite up with a huge smile. Then she ran over to Steve and hugged him. He picked her up and cradled her in his arms. She looked up at him with her big brown eyes.

"Mia, we need to talk." Steve told her.

Steve put Mia down and took her hands in his.

"What's wrong, Daddy?" Mia asked.

Steve took a deep breathe.

Suddenly Steve heard the baby crying.

"I'll get him." the babysitter told Steve, as she ran into the baby`s room.

"Mia, something happened to your mom." Steve said finally. "She was fighting a battle and well she didn't make it back."

"What do you mean?" mia asked a bit scaried.

"She was killed. I tried to save her, I promise I did! I tried all I could. But there was nothing I could do. Then when they took her to the hospital she was already dead."

Tears started streaming from her face.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart." Steve said.

"Why would someone do this, daddy? Why would someone want to take mommy from me?"

"…well you know your mom and I aren't like everyone else, we have super powers and we save the world. Not all fights end well…. sometimes the good guys get hurt or even die. "

"So does that mean you could die to?"

"I won't let that happen, I promise." Steve told her.

He kissed his daughter`s forehead. Then Mia kissed Steve's cheek and hugged his neck.

"Don't leave me daddy! I love you, daddy." Mia told him.

"I love you too." He replied.

"You know if you ever need any help were here for you." Tony said. "I mean were a team but were also your friends."

The others nodded in agreement.

Steve smiled.

"Thanks, guys. That really means a lot to me."
