"Peter are you alright?"

"Yea I'm fine," Peter said looking at a photo. His Aunt walked over and saw the picture of him and his family before the accident. She sighed taking it from him.

"Peter-" She started.

"I miss them, and I never got the chance to meet my younger sister." His aunt wrapped her arms around him as he began to cry.

In N.Y.C a young girl with curly dark brown hair, and brown eyes was on a mission trip to help those who were affected by the attack earlier in the year. She was currently bringing water and food to the Avengers who were helping with the rebuilding process.

"Here you are," She smiled.

"Thank you ma'am but you really don't have to," Steve, Captain America, said to her.

"I know I don't, but I want to. The last time New York was attacked I couldn't help since I was too young, but now I want to help with the rebuilding."

"Well that's very kind of you ma'am."

"Please call me Gabrielle."

"Alright Gabrielle. Thank you."

Gabrielle nodded and went back to work cleaning up the debris and glass. As she did she saw two shadows come up behind her, she turned to see Thor and Tony Stark standing there.

"Hello," Gabrielle smiled.

"My Lady you shouldn't be doing such heavy work," Thor said.

"Oh no it's alright really," Gabrielle said, "I wanted to do as much as I can to help"

"Alright then if you will be ok," Thor said.

"After this you can stay at the Avengers Tower beats staying at some motel," Tony said.

"Oh that's alright I will be heading home after this," Gabrielle said as her face turned a little red.

"Where is your home?"

"Syracuse."

"But that's a three hour drive and we won't be done until 10 at night!" Tony cried his face dropping.

"Well I guess one night wouldn't hurt, but I don't want to be in the same room as any guy."

"Deal."

Soon the sunset and Gabrielle went with the Avengers to their home, once she arrived she quickly called her mother and told her where she was.

"Just be careful alright?"

"I will mom I promise, I love you good night," Gabrielle said.

"Good night sweetie."

After the call Gabrielle took a quick shower and headed off to bed. During the night Gabrielle began to have nightmares, she didn't know anyone in the dream but the sounds of distressed parents and the cries of a baby could be heard. Gabrielle bolt up right breathing heavily. Another nightmare, the same one, for five nights now this dream has plagued her mind, Gabrielle got up and went to the living room to get some water. After she did she sat on the couch and looked out at the city, it was beautiful. She loved the lights and sounds you could hear in the city, but she would never live in one herself far too expensive.

"Beautiful sight isn't it?" a voice asked her. Gabrielle turned to see Thor standing near her with a Pop Tart in his mouth.

"It is," Gabrielle answered, "To think it was almost destroyed again is terrifying."

"Again?"

"It happened on September 11th 2001, a terrorist group attacked the twin towers knocking them down. I was very young at the time, but it is still it has stayed with me."
"That is horrible"

Gabi nodded in agreement. Thor sat down next to her finishing off his Pop Tart.

"Thor?"

"Yes?"

"What is Asgard like?"

"It is a wonderful place always beautiful out, wonderful gardens, everything about it is wonderful."

"I would love to see it someday," Gabrielle said.

"Lady Gabrielle tell me why are you up so late?" Thor asked looking at her.

"I've been having a nightmare for the last few nights and I don't know why," Gabrielle said, "Its the same dream again and again. A man and woman crying saying please take care of her and a baby crying."

Thor listened to her explain her dream and soon she fell asleep on his shoulder. The next morning Gabrielle woke up to the smell of breakfast being made. She looked over to the kitchen to see Steve making eggs, Gabrielle got up from her spot and went to help.

"Good morning Gabrielle," Steve said.

"Morning, would you like some help?"

"I wouldn't want to burden you with this."

"It's no burden at all I love to cook," she smiled.

During her stay Gabrielle felt more comfortable, her family let her stay for the rest of the summer so she could help more with the cleaning. Gabrielle and Steve became very close, the two would always talk about the 40's because Gabrielle was very interested in it. Gabrielle helped Bruce keep himself calm by sometimes singing songs, Clint and Natasha taught her how to fight which she loved, Tony tried his best to make her laugh, but a lot of the times he would act like a father to her, and Thor would talk to her about his home and other gods. Currently her and Steve were in the gym together training.

"You're getting better," Steve smiled.

"Thanks," Gabi smiled back, "Its all thanks to you,Clint and Natasha."

"Oh no ma'am I did do much," He blushed at her praise.

"Please don't be so modest."

"Hey are you two just going to talk or are you gonna make-out?" Tony teased from the doorway. Gabi picked up one of the daggers Natasha gave her and threw it at Tony, it stuck in the wall next to him.

"That was a warning," Gabi said, "Now go before I hurt you."

Tony held his hands up in defeat and slowly left, Steve started to laugh and Gabi laughed along with him. The two went back to their sparring session when Fury entered the gym.

"Captain, your team has a mission," He said, "In the living room you will be briefed."

"Right, we will finish later Gabi."

"Of course please be careful."

Steve nodded and headed out, Gabi started to put things away when Fury walked up to her.

"Miss Gabrielle how much longer will you be here?"

"Only another month school starts the first week of September," Gabrielle answered, "If you would excuse me I should head off to help the senior citizens like I promised."

Fury nodded and Gabrielle quickly went to clean up and changed her clothes. She headed to the senior center and did some chores for some of the elders like cleaning, organizing and such.

"Gabrielle can you help Mrs. Carter please?" one of the head nurses asked.

"Of course."

Gabrielle went to Mrs. Carter's room and walked over to the woman who laid in the bed.

"Hello Mrs. Carter my name is Gabrielle, is there anything you need me to do?"

"Yes dear can you please bring me my album and some water?" She asked. Gabi nodded and smiled at her as she did what she asked. Gabi handed her the album and a glass of water.

She began to show Gabrielle all of the pictures she had in there and explained what happened when they were taken. Gabrielle smiled as she listened, but one picture caught her eye.

"Is that Steve Rogers?" Gabrielle asked.

"Yes it is, he was a lovely man always thought of others before himself."

Gabrielle listened as Peggy talked about the war and Steve and his team. Unknown to the two Steve was standing in the doorway watching the two as they talked. He smiled seeing Peggy smile at the old pictures as she talked to Gabrielle, his eyes moved to Gabrielle who was listening tentatively smiling the whole time. Gabrielle sort of remind him of Peggy, she's sweet, strong, independent, and beautiful.

"Oh the song my husband and I would listen to always reminded me of Steven."

"What song was that?"

"Over the rainbow from Wizard of Oz," Peggy answered, "Whenever I hear it I am reminded of Steven. Oh how I would love to hear it right now."

Gabi smiled at her and took a deep breath and soon started to sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Steve's eyes widened, he never did hear Gabrielle sing and her voice is beautiful. He smiled seeing that Peggy was happy as Gabrielle finished the song.

"You have a lovely voice," Peggy said.

"Oh its nothing special, I'm not that great."

Peggy smiled at her blush, soon Gabrielle said Goodbye and Steve ran off before she saw him. He waited outside for her trying to act natural.

"Oh hello Steve," Gabi said when she saw him.

"Hello Gabrielle," Steve said smiling at her.

"Did you come here to visit ?"

"How did you know?"

"I was working with her," Gabi said as Steve lead her to his motorcycle, "She told me so many stories and a lot were about you."

"R-really?"

Gabi nodded, "I thought it was bad enough when my grandfathers talked about you."
Steve helped Gabi onto his bike, as the engine started Gabi held on for dear life. She had never been on a motorcycle before and it scared her, Steve smiled and blushed feeling her against his back. As they headed back to New York they were attacked, Gabi let out a scream as the bike went out of control. Steve instantly protected Gabrielle as they crashed, he looked around to see if anyone was there, but there was no one.

"Gabrielle? Are you alright?"

"uh...yea I'm fine," She answered quietly. Steve helped her up, but she instantly fell back to the ground. Steve sat beside her and looked at her legs, her right knee had been severely hurt. He sighed and helped her back onto the bike.

"What happened!?" Natasha asked seeing Steve and Gabi come in.

"We were attacked on our way here, but the person left soon after," Steve explained as Clint helped Gabi to med wing.
