((A/N: No, I haven't forgotten about my other stories. Just waiting on one muse to step back and let others have some time.

A wonderful thanks to my friend Lady Moonhawke, who is also my co-writer, co-conspirator, Idea tester, plot hole finder, monkey wrench thrower, and ghost editor.

Italics usually means another language that I'm too lazy to have translated into that language. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and/or Holidays - whatever tradition you follow!))

Chap 7

Epilogue

It had come to the point where the Avengers had to split up. There were just too many in one location for their enemies not to be tempted anymore. Several of the Avengers had also voiced their desire to relocate. So after much debate, the UN had finally given their approval to split the Avengers into two groups.

The East Coast Avengers would consist of Captain America as leader, with Agent 13, Black Panther, Falcon, and Vision on the team. Several other candidates were considered as well, including Peter Parker, better known as Spider-Man. They would be located in upstate New York still at the New Avengers Facility. Steve had an apartment in Brooklyn for when he was off duty. Sharon had one in Manhattan. Having officially started dating, they often spent time at each other's place. T'Challa stayed most of the time at the Wakandan Embassy when he wasn't taking care of his duties back home. Sam still returned to the DC area where he still volunteered to help Veterans. Vision was the only member not to have a personal abode to call home when he was off duty.

The West Coast Avengers would have Iron Man in the position of leader/advisor, the Black Widow, Winter Soldier, War Machine, the Scarlet Witch, and Ant-Man. Their primary candidate was a young woman named Katie Bishop, who rivaled Clint Barton in skill with the bow. Johnny was also a candidate but let it be known he would only be a reservist and deployed when there was no one else that could be called upon. Tony could operate out of any of his labs, but prefered to personally oversee the construction on the new west coast facility. Once it was completed, he returned to the San Francisco area and managed out of his labs. Natasha and Bucky moved in with Johnny and his family. Rhodes was transferred to the LA AFB and being both a bachelor and military didn't have to worry about housing. It was taken care of for him. Scott kept close to his daughter, though he did upgrade his living arrangements when his status as 'Avenger' became official. Wanda found a small community of displaced Sakovian refugees where she was welcomed with open arms and open hearts.

When it came to the division of assignments, the ECA took on the assignments that needed a larger team while the WCA took on the assignments that required fewer members, usually solo or pairs. Another difference between the two teams was that the WCA tended to be less serious all the time, more fun-loving and relaxed. Not to say the ECA were a bunch of stiffs, but they did tend to be the more serious of the two groups. So when a prank war between the two groups occurred, it was hard to believe it was Steve and company were the ones to start it.

Like with everything, the old must give way for the new. Old heroes retired or died while new ones took their place.

Eventually Steve had finally started showing signs of aging and decided that it was time. He retired from the role of Captain America and passed the title and shield to Bucky. He took the suggestion offered him once, and invested in furthering his education to become an American History teacher who specialized on the times between 1918 and 1944. He still sketched and painted on the side. His relationship with Sharon ended mutually when their career paths started going in different directions.

For a while Bucky held the title and shield then decided to pass it on as well. When he took a leave of absence from the Avengers, he found himself at loose ends. With encouragement from Steve, as well as Johnny and Natasha, both of whom he was still living with, he started searching and researching for any living relatives he might have had. After reconnecting with his past, he found himself itching to get back in the field. It didn't take long for him to be welcomed back to the team.

When Natasha had retired, she became a private instructor in the art of ballet, gymnastics and self-defense for young girls. On the side, she would take special assignments for SHIELD to keep in practice. She would join Johnny when he had jobs to do as well. The rest of the time, she enjoyed the position of 'Mom' she had acquired when she became part of Riley and Alexei's life.

And life continued on.
