Steve and Millie Rogers were in an old boxer training room, punching at punching bags. Both remembering the war. Steve remember the sacrifice they both made and Peggy, the girl he loved as Millie remembers Bucky.
"I won't let you fall." she press his hand to her chest; Millie punches harder. Remembering the train. "Take my hand!" she shouts, reaching out to him; Anger boils in her blood; "I love you, I will always love. No matter what!" Bucky shouts up to her. Then slips from her grip. "NOOOO! BUCKY!" she reaches out for him; flames flicks her arms.
Then a memory of her and Steve laying on the operating table pops in her head; "Oh my God, they're still alive." a man states. Then with on swift kick, Millie knocks the bag of the bars and burst it open as Steve did the same with one hard punch. They both pant, the flame on her arms die down, Steve walks over and pulls out two more, then hooks them on the bars, Millie nods at him and started with light punches. He smiles a little and punches at his bag. "Trouble sleeping?" Fury asks them. They both look over at him, Millie sighs and walks over to the bench, picks up the water bottle and took a sip from it.
"We've slept for 70 years, sir. I think we have our fill." Steve tells him and punches at the bag again. Millie place the bottle down and took the towel and damps her forehead, getting rid of the sweat. "Then you should be out, celebrating. Seeing the world." Fury tells him. Steve stop punching the bag and walks over to the ring. "We went under, the world was at war. We wake up and they say we won." Steve states, taking of the bandages. Millie set the towel on her neck and unwraps bandage from her knuckles. "they didn't say what we lost." Steve adds. Millie flexes her knuckles, feeling her muscles loosen a bit. "We've made some mistakes along the way, some more recent than others." Fury adds.
"You here with a mission, sir?" Steve asks him. "I am." he answers. "Trying to get us back in the world?" Steve asks him. "Trying to save it." he handed a file to them, Millie took the file and looks at it's contacts inside. "Hydra's secret weapon." Millie mumbles, sitting on the ledge of the ring, Steve looks over her shoulder. "Howard Stark fish that out of the ocean when he was looking for you." Fury informs the. Steve and Millie look up at him. "He thought what we think, the Tesseract could be the key to unlimited sustainable energy, that's something the world souly needs." he tells them. Millie sighs, closing the file and handed it back to him. "Who took it from you?" Millie asks him, "He's called Loki, he's not from around here." he answers her. Taking the file back. "There's a lot we have to bring you to speed on, if your in. the world has gotten even stranger than you already know." he tells them.
"At this point I doubt anything will surprise us." Millie states and stood up, Steve stood as well, pulling his bag over his shoulder. "Ten bucks says you're wrong." he states. Millie took his bag as Steve took a punching bag. "They're a debriefing file back at your apartment." he tells him as they walk to the door. "Is there anything about the Tesseract that you can tell us about that we ought to know now?" Fury asks them. "You should of left it in the ocean." Millie answers and they both walk out of the boxing room.

Later that night, Iron Man place took care of a damage pipe in the river, then burst through the surface, flaying in the air, "We're good on this end. The rest is up to you." Tony tells his girlfriend, Pepper, "You disconnected the transmission lines, are we off the grid?" she asks him. "Stark tower is about to become a beacon of self stain and clean energy." Tony informs her. "Assuming the arc-reactor takes over and actually works." Pepper states. "I assume. Light her up." Tony tells her. Then the tower lighted up and was now on. "How does it look?" Pepper asks him, "Like Christmas, but with more... me." he adds, with a smirk.
"We got to go wider on the public awareness campaign, you need to do some press. I'm in D.C. Tomorrow, working on the zoning for the next three buildings." she informs him, "Pepper, you're killing the moment, remember. Enjoy the moment." he tells her as he lands up tight. "Then get in here and I will." she giggles. Then the walkway that Tony walks on pulls off his armor. "Sir, Agent Coulson of S.H.E.I.L.D is on the line." J.A.R.V.I.S informs him. "I'm not in, actually I'm out." Tony jokes. "Sir, I'm afraid he's insisting." J.A.R.V.I.S informs him. "That's find Jarvis, I got a date." Tony tells him as the last of his armor is pulled off and he walks inside.
"Levels are holding steady, I think." Pepper tells him. "Of course they are, I was directly involve, which grips me to my next question; how does it feel to be a genius?" Tony asks as he pulls out his blue tooth and toss it to the table. And turns of the hologram, "Well, I wouldn't really know, now would I." she states, turning to him. "Why, all this, came from you." he tells her. "No, all this came from that." she taps the reactor in his chest, "Give yourself some credit. Please, Stark tower is your baby, give yourself some... 12% of the credit." he states, "12%?" she asks him, "An argument can be made for 50." he throws him, "12% of my baby?" she asks him, walking away, "Well, I did the heavy lifting, Literally. I lifted the heavy stuff. Sorry but the security sanff-foo is on you" he adds. "Ohh." she states, kneeling down and pulling out the champagne. "My private elevator." he adds. "You mean our elevator?" she questions him, pouring herself a glass.
"It was teaming with sweaty workmen. I'm going to pay for that comment about percentages in some suttee way later on, aren't I?" he asks her as she hands him a glass of champagne, "Not going to be that suttee." she informs him. "Tell you what, the next building is going to be Potts on the tower." he promises her. "On the Lace." she states and went to clinks him, but he pulls back. "Call your mum, can you bunk over." he offers, making her giggle. "Sir, the telephone. I'm afraid my protoal are being overwritten." Jarvis informs him, "Mr. Stark, we need to talk." Coulson informs him over the phone, tony sighs and reaches over to his phone. "You have reach the human model decoy of Tony Stark, please leave a message." Tony jokes, Pepper giggles. "This is urgent." Coulson informs him. "Then leave it urgently." Tony states, then the elevator door opens.
"Security breech. It's on you." Tony jokes yet again, "Mr. Stark." Coulson place his phone away. "Phil, come in." Pepper greets him, standing up. "Phil?" Tony asks. "I can't stay." he tells them, "Um his first name is agent." Tony tells her. "Come on in, we're celebrating." Pepper ignores him, "Which is my he can't stay." Tony adds. They both smile at him. "We need you to look this over as soon as possible." Coulson handed him a file. "I don't like being handed things." he exclaims. "That's fine, cause I love to be handed things, so lets trade." Pepper took the file in exchange for the glass of champagne, then she handed the file to Tony and took his glass of champagne. "Official consulting hours are between 8 and 5 every other Thursday." Tony informs him, "This is a consultation." Phil reports. "Is this about the Avengers? Which I know nothing about." Pepper reports. Phil eyes her. "The avengers infinite was scrap, I though and I didn't even qualify." Tony states as he walks away, opening the file.
"I didn't know that either." Pepper adds, Phil smirks a little. "Apparently I'm validate, self-obsessed, don't play well with others." Tony went on. "That I did know." Pepper adds, "This isn't about personal profiles anymore." Phil tells him. "Whatever. Ms. Popps, got a sec?" Tony calls her over. She walks over to him. "You know, I thought we were having a moment?" Tony asks her, "I was having 12% of the moment." she threw back at him. He shot a look at her. "This seems serious, Phil is pretty shaken." he shot a look at Phil. "How would you know, why is he Phil?" he question her. "What is all this?" she asks him. "This is uh.. this." he widens the screen, projecting it in the room; World War 2, New Mexico incident, and the Hulk sightings.
Pepper exhales, "I'm going to take the jet to D.C. Tonight." she tells him. "Tomorrow." Tony injects, "You have homework. You have a lot of homework." she reminds him. "Well what if I didn't?" he asks, turning to her. "If you didn't, you mean when you finish?" she question him, he nods. "Well... um, then..." she leans up to him and whispers into his ear. His jaw drops as he held an amused look on his face, Phil just rolled his eyes. She then pulls back, "Square deal, flash A." he states, Pepper smiles at him then press her lips against his, and pulls back. "Work hard." she whispers to him and walks away. Pepper walks over to Phil and they both rode the elevator down. Tony then turns his attention to the hologram of the Tesseract, he took a hold of it and glares at it cautiously.

Later that morning, a S.H.E.I.L.D air craft flew over the ocean, "We're about 40 minutes from home base, sir." the pilot informs Phil, Phil took off his headset and stood next to Steve, that wore the plaid shirt, pants, romeos and a brown leather jacket. Millie sat next to him, a white tank-top, tight dark blue pants, boots and a black jacket. Along with her hair in a side braid that sat on her shoulder as the both look at the holo flies. "So this doctor Banner was trying to reeducate the serum used on Millie and me?" Steve asks him. "A lot of people were, you two were the world first superheroes. Banner thought gamma radiation was the key to unlocking Erskine's original formula." Phil informs them.
"Look where that got him, big, green, and with major anger issue." Millie states, watching the video, "Not that much, when he's not that guy, he's like a Steven Hawking." Phil states, the two look at him, "Whose Steven Hawking?" Millie asks him, "He's... like a smart person." he adds, Millie nods and flips through the files. "I got to say, it's an honor to meet you two, officially." he states, Steve looks up at him as Millie sets her file down and looks up at him. "I sort of meet you, I mean, I watch you while you were sleeping." he states, Millie raise both eye brows at him as Steve looks away from his. "I mean... I was present while you were unconscious from the ice." Phil shudders over his words. Steve stood up and Millie follow him as they look out the pilot's window. "You know, it's just really a huge honor to have you on broad." he adds.
"Well I hope we're the ones for the job." Steve mumbles. "Oh you two are, absolutely. We made some modifications to the uniforms, I had a little design input." Phil tells them. "The uniforms, aren't the stars and stripes a little old fashion?" Steve asks him. "With all the things that are happening, the things that are about to come to light, the people might just need a little old fashion." he tells him, Millie sighs, looking out at the horizon.
They soon then arrive of a military base on water. The back then opens and the three walk out, "Get the captain's and Sollertis's gear." Phil orders the two, "Agent Romanoff, this is Captain Rogers and Sollertis." Phil introduce this to a redhead. "Ma'am." Steve states, "Hi. They need you on the bridge, they're starting the Phase strage." she informs Phil. "See you there." he tells her and walks off. "It was quite the buzz around here, finding you both in the ice. I though Coulson was going to swoon." she smirks as they started to walk. "Did he asks you to sign his Captain America and Sollertis's trading cards yet?" she asks them. Millie smirks. "He was coming around it, but I think he didn't want us to think he was creeper." Millie answers, Natasha looks at her. "I'm a telepathy remember?" she reminds her. Natasha smirks again. "He's very proud." she tells her, Millie smiles. "I can tell." she answers and they see a skittish man that was rubbing his hands together.
"Dr. Banner." Steve calls out and Bruce walks over to them, "Ah yes. They told me you two be coming." he shook Steve's hand. "Word is that you can find the cube." Steve states. "Is that the only word on me?" Bruce asks him. "That's the only word we care about." Steve tells him, Brice nods at him. "It must be strange for you with all this." he said, jesting to call the 21st century. Millie shook her head, "This is kinda of familiar." he states, "Nice to see that they keep some of the old tradition alive." Millie crosses her arms. "Gentlemen and lady, you'll need to step inside for a minute. It's going to get a little hard to breath." she informs then, then the alarms went off. They all look around, seeing everyone retreat inside.
"Is this a submerge?" Steve asks, "Really, they want me in a pressurize metal container?" Bruce question, Millie walks to the edge and gasp with wonder. "Guys, you really mean to see this." she states, the two walk over to her and look over as well. Seeing huge blades spinning at a really fast rate, and was lifted of the water and into the air. "Oh no, this is much worse." Banner states, Steve pulls Millie away from the edge, at a safe distance. She looks at him and smiles "This is awesome."
~8~8~8~
Natasha then lead them to the control bridge, everyone was moving around and/or at a computer, Millie watches from the railing seeing all the computers. She the looks out the window, seeing the clouds and blue sky. Then saw Agent Fury, giving out commands. Then the Helicarrier was cloak and out of sight. Millie slowly walks around, looking at the control bridge. She then saw Steve hand Fury ten buck, she giggles and walks over to the table, looking down at the symbol. "Doctor thank you for coming." Fury shook Bruce's hand. "Thanks for asking nicely." he tells him, pulling his hand back.
"So uh, how long I am staying?" Bruce asks him, "Once we get our hands on the Tesseract. You're in the way." he tells him. Bruce nods at him, "Where are you with that?" he asks him, Fury jesters to Coulson who was below. "We're sweeping every wireless production camera on the planet. Cell phones, laptops, if it's connected to a satellite, it's eyes and ears for us." he states, Millie looms over the railing, as Steve stood next to Coulson, his hands stuff in his pockets. "It's still not going to find them in time." Natasha adds. "You have a familiar field, how many spectrometers do you have access to?" Bruce asks him, "How many are there?" Fury asks him, crossing his arms. Bruce pulls off his jacket. "Call every lab you know and to put the Spectrometers and calculate for gamma rays. I'll rough out a basic arrhythmical vibrations, I can rule out a few places, you have somewhere for me to work?" Bruce asks of him.
Fury nods, "Agent Romanoff, show Dr. Banner to his laboratory please." Fury orders her and she obey without question and she lead him to the lab. "You're going to love it Doc, we got all the toys." she informs him. Millie sighs and looks at the agents at work.
