After the meeting, Tony returns to the main living area to see everyone teasing Steve about something.

"I can never live anything down can I?" Steve says.

"What are we not letting capsicle live down?"

"Fondue and Language," Sam answers still laughing.

"Oh so the usual."

Everyone starts to laugh harder, everyone but Wanda. Something seems off with Tony, like he is hiding something. That night when everyone was asleep Gabi and Bucky were sneaking through the mansion to get out, but Gabi made a quick stop to Steve's room.

"Gabi not a good idea," Bucky says as they start to pass the room.

"Don't worry, it's real quick," Gabi says quietly opening the door.

Bucky just sighs knowing there is no point in arguing with her, the room was dark and Gabi could hear the faint snoring from Steve. She smiles and quickly places a kiss on his lips before disappearing. The two of them leave before anyone can see them and made their way to the jet Coulson has ready for them.

"Hey Steve," Sam says the next morning on their run, "You've been slower lately. Wanna tell me why?"

"I guess it's just not the same without running with her."

"Oh yea, it's strange without her. Is it true you kissed her right in front of Natasha during the battle?"

"Yeah I did," Steve blushes.

"Clint would have so shot you in the face with an arrow if he was around. I also heard she said she loved you just before she..."

Steve didn't say anything at this point he just nodded, he was also thinking about the dream he had last night of kissing her again.

"C'mon Steve, she would want you to be happy."

"Huh sorry, what did you say I was in my own thoughts."

"C'mon gramps let's get this run in before the others wake up."

"Yeah lets go," Steve says shaking his head to get himself back into reality.

They run for about an hour until Sam is almost dead, they returned to the mansion to see Maria and Wanda in the living room.

"Good morning," Sam says.

"yeah morning" Maria says a little distracted.

"You ok?"

"Huh? Yeah just thinking thats all."

"Thinking about?"

"Something Wanda said."

"What did Wanda say?" Steve asks from the kitchen.

"Wanda should we tell him?"

"Yes," Wanda says.

"Tell me what?" Steve asks thoroughly confused.

"Well to make things simple, Wanda pointed out that ever since the funeral Tony has been acting more strange the usual."

"It's Tony, he is always strange," Sam says.

"You have a fair point there."

"We shouldn't think too much on it. He may just be looking for Bruce since...you know...he's missing."

"Yeah I guess you are right."

"Alright, enough about that," Steve says, "It's breakfast time."

"Not really hungry but I know you two can eat my share," Maria says before walking out of the room.

As time passes they all begin to notice little pranks here and there around the mansion. Most were for Steve so everyone figures it is Tony who is pulling the pranks, this angered Steve but Tony heavily denies it.

"It's not me this time I swear," Tony says after another prank happens.

"Then who is it?" Steve growls wiping the cream from his face.

"I don't know but it's not me, maybe it's Pietro."

"Hey!" Pietro yells from his spot on the couch.

"It wasn't Pietro he hasn't moved an inch," Maria says, "I would know."

Tony grumbles something they cannot hear as he glares at the shadows.

"So you are blaming the shadows" Nat says from her spot at the counter.

"Maybe Shego's spirit is messing with you spangles," Tony says looking at his tablet.

"Not my Ellie, Bucky might but not Ellie," Steve glares.

Wanda looks over at the shadows, her eyes red and she shakes her head.

"Vhat's vrong sis" Pietro asks Wanda.

"It is nothing," Wanda answers, "Just thought I sav something."

"You sure you didn't see anything" he asks her

"I am sure."

"Has anyone seen my hammer?" Thor asks walking into the room.

"How did you misplace that thing," Maria asks not looking up from her book.

"I am not sure, I thought I left Mjolnir in my quarters but when I went to get it, it had disappeared."

"Well ask vision he's the only one who can pick up other than you"

"Unless Shego's spirit took it," Tony adds.

"What is with you and that excuse lately?" Maria says finally looking up from her book.

"Well, Gabi did tell me once that spirits linger around until their loved one dies, so she's stuck here until grandpa kicks the bucket."

"Umm if you say so, now if you don't mind I have a book to finish."

Tony stuck his tongue out at her before looking at Steve's, now, depressed face. Is he really preventing Gabrielle from moving on?

"Don't listen to him Steve, he's just trying to take the attention off of himself so he don't get blamed again," Nat says.

"But what if he is right? Because of me and that...that amazing kiss, I am preventing my Ellie from moving on," Steve says.

"Dude you are not keeping my sister from moving on trust me," Maria says rolling her eyes

Steve sighs, "Alright, Avengers it is time to train."

"How am I to train without Mjolnir?" Thor questions.

"C'mon point break just use those muscles of yours," Tony says.

"Awwe Steve you are making me lose my foot rest," Maria complains.

"You and Peter are joining us," Natasha says.

"YES!" Peter says from his spot on the ceiling.

"Fine" Maria says putting her book down and getting up.

They all head down to the training room and they notice that both Wanda and Tony are smirking.

"Wipe those smirks off your faces I figured it out," Maria whispers to them running by to catch up with Pietro.

"You won't be able to lift it," a female voice says in the training room.

"Then give me cap's shield!" a male voice whines.

"I know those voices but it's not possible," Steve says in confusion.

"No way! It's my boyfriend's so I get to keep it," the first voice teases.

"How the fuck is this thing so heavy?" A second male voice asks.

"Language!" Steve says from the hallway

All three voices breakout into laughter along with Tony, Wanda and Maria.

"Ok please tell me vhat is so funny and vhat is going on," Pietro says confused.

"You vill have to go in and see," Wanda answers.

With that he runs a head and stops short in the doorway. The others catch up to see Bucky trying, and failing, to lift Thor's hammer, Coulson glaring at the rafters and Gabi just sitting on the rafter smiling at Coulson while she holds Steve's shield.

"Hey sis why am I not surprised?" Maria says looking up at her.

"I'm guessing Thor's hammer tipped you off huh?"

"Yeah because I knew vision wouldn't do that."

Gabi just smiles at her sister.

"How the fuck do you lift this!?" Bucky yells in frustration.

"You are not worthy" Thor booms.

"Steve? Are you ok?" Sam asks looking at his friend.

"NO I AM NOT I JUST FOUND OUT MY GIRL IS STILL ALIVE AND MY BEST FRIEND HAS BEEN RIGHT UNDER MY NOSE THE WHOLE TIME!" Steve flips out.

"Sorry Stevie," Gabi says from her spot, "But Fury wouldn't let us tell you sooner."

"FURY YOU SON OF A BI-" Steve was cut off with a slap to the head from Bucky.

"Watch it Punk," Bucky smirks.

"Yeah sorry I'm just annoyed," Steve says rubbing the back of his head.

"Oh and Steve. I was the one pulling all of the pranks. With the help of Bucky and Coulson," Gabi tells him from her spot. No way she's going down there now.

"Really? I'm not surprised about the other two but you?" he says looking up at her annoyed still.

"I told ya Cap, but did you listen? No," Tony teases.

Gabi laughs nervously and smiles a little at Steve.

"Can I have my shield?"

"Nope."

"Not going to hurt you sweetie I want to throw it at Tony"

"Hey!" Tony yells as Gabi laughs.

"You will have to come and get it!" Gabi teases as she disappears.

"I hate when she does that," Steve sighs.
