The sound of jets flying in the sky echoed in the room. Both Sara and Steve watched the movie 'Pearl Harbor', intently. Steve was no expert in the current technologies available but he was sure that Sara had more difficulty trying to understand the present. He had ideas what airplanes and telephones were unlike Sara who had no idea of what those things are. It was as if everything was foreign to her which helped developed forming a theory that she wasn't a resident of their home planet.
He was fascinated by the way simple things could easily amaze Sara especially when they first met, she had the innocence of a child but according to his superiors, looks can be deceiving and that they should never let their guard down.
Sara looked up at the wall clock before looking back at Steve. Noticing her gaze, Steve looked back at her.
"I do not want to be rude but do you not have to be in the gym?" She told him and continued, "I noticed whenever the clock strikes at that number you usually leave for the gym. I do not want to cause any inconvenience, I amcapable of finishing the movie without causing any damage in this place." Sara laughed as she finished talking, remembering that she nearly set the apartment on fire when she put some grapes in the microwave (thankfully, Steve was there). Steve gave out a short laugh, remembering the incident. Of course, he was scared as hell when Sara nearly set the apartment on fire but with her infectious laugh, how could Steve not find it funny?
"It's not –" He didn't get a chance to finish when Sara cut him off.
"I appreciate your company, I really do. I just do not want to hinder you from living your life." Sara smiled Steve, meaning the words she said. She wasn't aware that Steve was keeping an eye for her because it's his mission and the fact that she couldn't sense that Steve was forced in taking good care of her.
"Besides you can make-up for it by buying me a burger." She added.
Steve took a deep breath hesitant in leaving Sara alone."Alright then but this place better not be in ashes when I come back."
"Yes, sir" Sara saluted, one the things Steve taught her. She didn't have any idea that he was Captain America or that he possess any special ability, for all she knew he was just some sort of soldier.

"Then there's also Steve Rogers AKA Captain America." Clint Barton showed a file with the hero's picture to Loki. Hawkeye continued to brief Loki about Steve's abilities super soldier. As Loki scanned the file, a picture of someone familiar came up.
"Why is she in here?" Loki asked Clint, stopping him from speaking any further about Steve Rogers.
" Sara was being watched by Captain America, himself since they weren't sure if she's an enemy or not. They said she came from your world though she had no memory of anything before she ended up in here." Loki raised an eyebrow,disapprovingly. If they ever lay even a finger to her, they will know what it means for an ant to be stepped on by a boot, he thought.
"Does it say here where she is?" He can't let those foolish mortals surround her any needs her protected, that was the least he could provide her at the moment until became the new king.
"No but I think we can find a way, sir." Clint said.
"Excellent." Loki's eyes twinkled with happiness.

Concentrating with his workout, glimpses of his past flickered in his mind. What made his concentration even harder was the thought of the girl he'd been babysitting. From the first time he saw her, he was quite certain she was different not only by the way she dresses or speaks, there was something in her eyes that was telling him that she was lost and confused something which he could relate to after being awakened from his deep slumber.
As he continued with his workout, a man with an eye patch entered the room.
"When I went under, the world was at war. I wake up, they say we won. They didn't say what we lost." Steve told the man as he continued to give out punches.
"We've made some mistakes along the way. Some, very recently." Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D informed the soldier.
"Are you here with a mission, sir?" Steve asked, knowing that the director didn't just came in the gym to drop off.
"I am." Fury replied.
"Trying to get me back in the world?" He questioned Fury.
"Trying to save it." Nick Fury answered, showing Steve the file of the Tesseract.
" HYDRA's secret weapon." Steve said, surprised to see the file.
"Howard Stark fished that out of the ocean when he was looking for you. He thought what we think. The Tesseract could be the key to unlimited sustainable energy. That's something the world sorely needs." Fury explained to Steve.
"Who took it from you?" Steve asked him again.
"He's called Loki. He's not from around here. Our theory is that Sara came from the same world he lived in. There's a lot we'll have to bring you up to speed on if you're in. The world has gotten even stranger than you already know. " The director informed Captain America. He had suspicions that the soldier became attached to the mystery girl.
"At this point, I doubt anything would surprise me." Steve looked Fury, showing confidence to what just said.
"Ten bucks says you're wrong. There's a debriefing packet waiting for you at your apartment. Sara was already on her way to a secure place along with a few S.H.I.E.L.D agents, in case Sara and Loki work together, Loki would try to contact her." Steve didn't like Fury's accusatory tone.
"I assure you that Sara isn't part of this, sir. " He defended the girl knowing that it was the right thing to do. For over a year, Sara never gave him a reason to doubt her.
"I hope she's not and that she could help trying to get it back. Is there anything you can tell us about the Tesseract that we ought to know now?" The director inquired.
"You should have left it in the ocean." Steve answered.

As the movie ended, Sara can't help herself but pity those people who died in the movie. Steve told her that movies weren't real though the movie was inspired by true turned off the cd player which was followed by someone knocking on the door.
"I'm coming!" She yelled as she runs toward the door. Surprised was the word that described how Sara looked after she opened the door, armed men were looking at her. Confusion flooded her brain, unsure of the situation.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" She asked as normal as possible.
"We're here in behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D, ma'am."
"We're here to take you to one of our facilities to ensure your safety."
"Where is Steve? Does he know of this plan?"
"At this momen-" Chuck!
Out of nowhere, an arrow went through one of the agents' head. Then another set of arrow came but this time it hit the remaining happened so fast and before Sara could do anything, a man appeared in front of her.
"We need to go." The man told her. She opened her mouth to speak but the words wouldn't just come out.
The man was about to grab her arms when an arrow drifted between them.
"Sir, I was just getting her just like your order." The man explained to these two men who was approaching them. Sara looked at one of them who was shorter than the other one accompanied by his arrow and noticed that he was wearing the same uniform as the dead men on the caught her attention most was the tall one who had a scepter with him.
Sara's jaw early dropped in disbelief as she saw his eyes, his green eyes that held a mixture of mischievousness and mystery.
"You did not understand. My command was to assist the lady not to force her." The green eyed man told his soldier with a pleasant voice. It could have deceived Sara but anger was the thing that was coming from him.
"I apologized for his rudeness." The stranger smiled at her.
"I came here to ensure your safety. More men would come and they will try to hurt you. If you come with us, I can assure not only your safety but I could give you something that you long for…Eir" Sara shivered after hearing his last word. How did he know? Sara hasn't told anyone about the man calling her Eir. Not even Steve knew that.
She looked at the man as he extended his hand to her. It wasn't safety that caught her attention but rather the knowledge of this man that might help unravel her past. There was something with this man that lured her into him and so she slowly took his hand. Sara was almost sure that when their hands touched, it felt so familiar.
