Thanks again to everyone.

"I- I," Fury said. Lizzie could tell that he was having trouble believing his eyes, but that didn't mean she didn't like watching his squirm. With an amused smirk she decided to milk this for all it's worth.
"I'm waiting" Lizzie said cupping her ear and leaning forward.
"I... believe," he said through gritted teeth.
"There, now was that so hard?"
"Yes."
Suddenly they started circling the hellicarrier like vultures.
"What's happening," her father whispered to her.
"I-I don't know, I've never seen them act like this," she whispered back.
"You don't think that they're after Fury do you?"
"No, they loved Skrill, but they also respect him and his beliefs."
"So?"
"If there's one thing I know about Skrill, it's that he lived by 'An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.'"
"Then what are they after?" For this she had no response, she couldn't bring herself to say it. She looked at the dragons with a look she could not explain.

Lizzie let her feet dangle over the edge. Briarus was swimming with his brothers and sisters. Lizzie just smiled as she watched the dragons play in the clear water. She just hid herself from everyone else on the ship like she had always done in her life. She preferred being alone, away from people. She leant her chin on her arm as she kept her eyes on the swimming beasts below her. Briarus looked up and egged her to join them. She shook her head in rejection. He began to swim to the helicarrier and hopping up to where Lizzie was hanging over. His nose touching her bare feet. She giggled as his warm snout touched the soles of her feet.
"No Briarus. I don't like water that much." She knew he understood with the emotion in his eyes. He rose his head before diving back into the water. She heard a door open behind her. She looked over her shoulder to see Steve walking behind her. He was carrying a small tray of food. She smiled at him before returning her focus back to the dragons.
"Thought you might want some food." Steve said placing the tray down next to her.
"Thanks." She said looking up to her father.
"How come you are not playing with them." He asked.
"When I was younger I nearly drowned. So I am not a huge fan of open water." she exclaimed clenching her fist.
"How are you feeling and everything?" He asked.
"Feeling better." She said thinking about Skrill. A few tears tell down her cheek, before she quickly wiped the with the sleeve. "Do you ever miss anyone Steve?" She asked.
"I miss a lot of people Lizzie. My parents. The Howling Commandos. Peggy. My friend Bucky. He felt the knot feeling in this throat tighten. So to answer your question Lizzie. Yes I do I miss a lot of people Lizzie. You have to deal with the fact that they are no longer walking among us, but their memories live on in our minds." He pointed to his head.
"Tell me about them." She asked as she looked at him.
"Where do I begin? Well the Howling Commandos were the most bravest men you would ever know. We fought against Hydra in WWII. They were Dum-Dum Dugan, James Falsworth, Jim Morita, Gabe Jones and Jacques Dernier. Bucky was my closest friend. We were at the same orphanage together. He was like my bodyguard. He protected me from all the bigger kids."
"You a skinny little runt? No not possible. Don't believe you." She said with humour in her voice.
"Sure was." Steve laughed.
"Who was Peggy?" Steve sighed.
"She was a Agent for S.S.R. She was the one who made me into 'this'." He exclaimed gesturing to his body. "She was one hell of a beautiful girl Lizzie." He stopped there. Lizzie moved closer to her father. She placed her hand over her father's.
"I am sorry if this is hard for you to talk about."
"It is OK. You are the first person that I can talk about them."
"Did you love her?"She asked. Steve looked at her surprised. "Sorry I should not have asked."
"Its is OK. Yes I did."
"I bet you miss all of them loads."
"Yes I do." He paused before looking at Lizzie. He could see the sadness in her eyes. "You really do miss Skrill don't you?"
"Yeah. I do."
Steve watched his daughter look unhappy. "At least you have the dragons now to keep the memories alive."
"I guess you are right. But I am scared for losing the image of him forever." She said.
"Maybe you don't have to. I can draw him for you."
"Are you sure you want to do that for me?"
"Of course think of it as a gift from me to you."
"Thank you Da-Steve." She corrected herself.
Steve noticed what she said. He smiled. "Lizzie I am sorry for what happened earlier in your life. If I had known-"
Don't. Don't do that to yourself. You were frozen Steve. Don't blame yourself. It was S.H.I.E.L.D's fault I was created."
"Can we try and make this work."
"Dragons too?" She asked pointing down to the dragons.
"Ha. OK dragons too. As long as they dont chew the furniture." She smirked at his remark before nodding. There was a awkward silence between them for a while. Steve watched his daughter. She was him in every way. Her image. Her personality. Her heard and soul. He smiled.
"So what do you want me to call you. Dad? Daddy. Well I can say I am too old for the last word."
"Whatever you want. Well its late you better get some sleep." He stood up and walked over and kissed her head. She closed her eyes. The only one to ever do that was Lucy. She smiled, as the tears began to think of Lucy. She opened her eyes, looking at her dad. He saw the tears but he didn't bother to say anything. He just stood back.
"Sure. Ill eat this before I head for the sack." Steve nodded before leaving her alone. She sighed. Awkward.She thought to herself.
She sat alone in the shadows eating slowly. She watched the dragons as they were beginning to fly away from the carrier. She saw Briarus fly over to Lizzie and landed next to her.
"Where are they going Briarus?" She asked. Briarus lay down next to her and closed his eyes. Lizzie knew they went back to the island to rest.
"So how will they come back?" Briarus had something in his mouth. He dropped it next to her. It was a small gold whistle with a dragon design on the metal. She placed it in her mouth and blew. It didn't give a pretty little song like a song bird would in the early morning but it had a soft melody. She smiled as she fell back and lay her head on Briarus' body. He moved his wing to cover her body.
"Good night Briarus." Before she fell into a deep slumber. Briarus watched her before closing his eyes.
"Good Night Elizabeth." He whispered.
