Sister of the Captain (1)

"I know that we all think we're immortal, we're supposed to feel that way, we're graduating. The future is and should be bright, but, like our brief four years in high school, what makes life valuable is that it doesn't last forever, what makes it precious is that it ends. I know that now more than ever. And I say it today of all days to remind us that time is luck. So don't waste it living someone else's life, make yours count for something. Fight for what matters to you, no matter what. Because even if you fall short, what better way is there to live? It's easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us too, and there'll be days where you feel all alone, and that's when hope is needed most. No matter how buried it gets, or lost you feel, you must promise me, that you will hold on to hope and keep it alive. We have to be greater than what we suffer. My wish for you, is to become hope. People need that. I know it feels like we're saying goodbye, but we will carry a piece of each other into everything that we do next, to remind us of who we are, and of who we're meant to be. I've had a great four years with you, and I'll miss you all very much."

Hope. How would you describe it? A four-letter word yet so deep in meaning, probably even deeper than the grand canyon. The world revolves around us, along with thousands of words that make it what it is.
Hope is one them.
Why am I telling you this, you ask? Well, it's the reason why my life turned so complicated than before. For instance, Spider-man became my boyfriend. I know right, it's hard to believe? Who would've thought the boy at the back of the classroom would actually caught my attention. And he's another reason why I believe hope is a very important thing. I love the idiot of course, that's why he became my boyfriend. Peter Parker and Spider-man are the same person, and quite ironic because those two persons possess completely different personalities.
Eh, Peter never fails to surprise me anyway. He gives hope to people, and especially to me. Someday, I actually hoped that this amazing man or spider-man in front of me will always be mine. That's how Peter had his effects on me, he loves me and I love him. Hope brought us together, we hoped long enough to be the person in our arms right now.
That's how I describe hope, and it brought another important thing, person, in fact, in my complicated life. It never occur to me that Captain America a.k.a America's new hope and leader of the Avengers, would be my brother.
I mean yeah, it's really great to know that, cause I've heard he's a very nice person, but seriously right now? Suddenly he's jumping into my life? How did that even happen? He's what, 95? And I'm a 19 year old girl.
We couldn't possibly be related...
N-O W-A-Y
Then, they explained how would that even be possible and- okay wait a minute, let me start from the top that happen back then.
Literally way back, like 1940's way back..
March 1942
It was just a usual day, and I'm just doing the usual routine. I was on my way home from school, college, to be exact, and I'm taking up Biology because I love Science. I'm comfortable with it, I get the job done easily, and that's my favorite subject. Not to brag or anything but, I'm the first in my class, and I just love to brag to my brother that I'm way smarter than he is. But he wouldn't care anyways, says he may not be good at academic like I am but he's good at a lot of other things.
"Lyn! Wait up!" A voice reached my ears. I turned around just in time to see my closest friend, trying to catch her breath, beside me. "Give me a minute." She told me, holding up her hand.
"Grace, why are you here?" I asked her, clutching my books in both hands. When she finally caught her breath, she stood up straight. "Well, hello to you too Gwendolyn." I flinched at my name.
I rolled my eyes at her, "You know I don't like to be called that." I told her, walking off. But she managed to catch up with me, before I knew it she's right beside me.
"Why? It's a pretty name." My friend, Grace, retorted. Grace was actually an English girl, meaning she has a British accent. It suits her personality and appearance, probably she inherited her good features from her aunt. "Besides, it's a lot better than my name."
I let out a fake chuckle, "Yeah, it sure is." I said sarcastically, "Look, let's just drop the subject and call me what I like you to call me."
"Fine," Grace groaned, and I smiled triumphantly "So, Lyn. What's the latest news with Daniel?" I looked at her, while she had a big smile on her face while wiggling her eyebrows.
"Would we please talk about something other than my personal life?" I asked, or more like stated. But, I tried to stop myself from becoming red like a tomato. Every time I just hear that name, my heart becomes unstable. You see, Daniel's a guy in my Biology class, he's a very clever guy, and a kind one too. He's extremely good-looking, I mean the kind where all the girls in the university are swooning over for. Grace kept teasing me about him every single day, because I've had a crush on him since, well the first day I saw him.
It's just a crush no biggie. Besides, I'm not exactly the type of girl who would be desperate enough to do something stupid just for a guy to notice me. I'm much more wiser than that. I look at myself highly, and not to be conceited but I'm not bad-looking myself.
"Well, you've had a crush on him since first day of school. You're also doing your best to rank one in Biology class."
I raised an eyebrow at her, not exactly getting her point. "Uh, what if I'm doing my best in Biology class? Is there a problem?"
"You know what never mind that, you can definitely make a guy be attracted to you in seconds. Lyn, you're one of the most good-looking girls in school. So Daniel might not be a problem anyways." I ignored Grace. I don't want to be focused on other things rather than my education anyway. This is all me and my brother have and can afford. So I shouldn't be just wasting it.
"Look, I gotta go, my brother's probably worried about me right now." I said, looking at my watch.
Grace nodded understandingly, "It's alright, a brother can be protective sometimes." We both laughed at this. "Tell Steve I said hi!"
I gave her an apologetic smile, before running off. "I will!" I answered back.
We weren't exactly rich, me and my brother just lived at the orphanage, that was until he was old enough to get a job. My father died serving in the war, I couldn't remember much, Steve told me he died of mustard gas. While my mother died because of Tuberculosis, she was a nurse and apparently got infected too.
I don't know what will happen to us now. Our only hope is for me to get a good job.
"Lyn!" I turned to the voice that startled me, and saw Steve waiting outside of our small apartment. He was waving at me with a big smile on his face as always. I fastened my pace, and dashed my way towards my brother. Despite his small figure, he was the most amazing brother anyone could ever have.
"Hi!" I breathed out, still hugging him with all my might. He chuckled at my sudden outburst, before I finally let go of him. I was taller than my brother, despite the fact he's older than me by 4 years. I think during mom's pregnancy she got sick, so it affected Steve's growth or something.
"So my little sister, how's school?" He asked me while we went inside. I took of my shoes, and coat putting them on the shelf and rack.
"It's alright, got a perfect score on my exam. How bout you, you finally found a job?" I asked him with a smile, but I saw his face dropped. I sighed instead, I already knew the answer to that. "It's alright, there's still next time. Why don't you apply for an art job or something? Obviously you're good at it."
"Yeah, art's more on a hobby for me. I wouldn't want doing something like that every day. I'll get lazy." Steve replied, while I chuckled.
"Okay, it's just a suggestion. Is Bucky coming?" Bucky is Steve's friend ever since we were at the orphanage. He's a really great friend to both of us, I already consider him as my brother too. He works in the army, you know a soldier fighting off the bad guys. Steve tried to enlist a lot of times, but he just can't get accepted. But he till won't give up too, being a stubborn that he is.
"Um, I don't think so. I haven't seen him for a quite a while. Did you?"
I shook my head, "No, I just thought since you guys are best friends and all, you'll know." I said, while grabbing my book from my bag.
"Well, I'll just go to my room to study." I told him.
"Oh, in that case. I'll just go outside for awhile, will you be okay here?" He asked.
"Uh, yeah sure. Just be back before dark." I said, quite curious.
"Yeah yeah, stay safe alright?"
He kissed me on the cheek, and went out before I could even say bye.
"Bye.." I mumbled to myself.
Where could my brother be heading to now?
So guys, how was it? Please tell me your opinions..
