"Awake and Alive"
Please enjoy and review!
After Thor left the base, Davey and Veemon had spread out, searching for any signs of the invisible man.
Sneaking into the area that held the security footage, Davey watched the videos and saw that the strange man had completely disappeared and no one was able to see him.
She didn't know if the man was still wandering around the base, but she kept her guard up in case, trying to sniff him out.
Searching the base for the rest of the night, the duo of Miracles was able to safely determine that the invisible man was no longer there since his scent was faint.
Once she was sure everything was handled, Davey went off with Veemon to take a nap in her and Clint's trailer while the archer took over the duties of acting as look-out, aware of the invisible man who had been seen by the duo of Miracles.
Waking up the next day, Davey showered and changed into her uniform, then made her way to where breakfast was being served.
When she arrived at the area, she found Clint nursing a traveler's mug filled with coffee and she bit back a grin of amusement.
"Think you have enough coffee?" She asked walking over.
"Nope." Clint said before chugging it down.
A blonde woman then walked over to the duo, smiling at them as Davey grabbed a mug and poured in sugar and milk into her coffee.
"Pretty sure coffee's not meant to be chugged." Barbara 'Bobbi' Morse commented.
"Kinda need it after the late night shifts." Clint said.
Bobbi shrugged at that, knowing her former partner was right and simply sipped her drink, enjoying the scent of the dark roast.
Looking over to where Davey was standing, Bobbi watched in amusement as the hybrid snatched a mug from Veemon's hands.
"No way, you are not having coffee. The last time I let you drink this stuff; you were bouncing off the walls for over an hour and were sick in bed for two days." Davey scolded.
Veemon pouted and crossed his arms, looking very annoyed by the fact that he wasn't getting his way.
"You go through one caffeine high and no one ever lets you forget it." The dragon muttered.
Bobbi simply giggled at the interaction between the two partners.
Coulson was then seen walking into the room, on the phone with someone.
Whoever he was on the phone with, it appeared that the conversation was important by the way the man's blue eyes grew wide.
Glancing around the room, Coulson spotted Davey and started making his way over to the hybrid which made Clint and Bobbi look at her, wondering what was going on.
"What's up, Coulson?" Davey asked curious over why the man had sought her out.
"It's Fury. He has some important news for you and you need to return to headquarters now." Coulson said seriously.
Confused over this, Davey accepted the phone and held it up to her ear.
"Rose Cat." She greeted, her tone taking on a serious one.
"You have a new assignment. Get back to New York right now." Fury ordered.
"But what about the hammer?" Davey questioned.
"This is a shit done more important than the damn hammer! Get over here right now." Fury demanded as he raised his voice.
Ears lowering at the sound of the angry man's voice, Davey then hung up and handed the phone back over to Coulson.
"So, do I have transportation waiting for me?" She asked.
"Yes. Morse, you're going with her. You know how to operate the jet. Use it to take Motomiya back to headquarters." Coulson ordered.
"Yes, sir." Bobbi nodded.
Taking their coffee with them, the two female agents took off to gather their things while Veemon swiped the box of donuts, carry it with him since he didn't want to skip out on breakfast.
Quickly packing up her things, Davey boarded the jet with Veemon and Bobbi soon rose the air craft up into the sky, taking off in the direction of Manhattan.
They arrived at headquarters in a few hours and Davey thanks Bobbi for the ride before rushing off to where Fury was located.
When she entered the building, the first thing she noticed was how everyone inside seemed to be in an uproar.
Something big was happening and she needed to know what it was.
Spotting Brock Rumlow, someone she didn't like but still worked with on a few assignments when she had to, Davey walked up to him.
"Rumlow." She said making him stop.
"Rose Cat." He nodded.
"Where's Fury? He called me in for a new assignment." She told him.
"He's in the medical bay. You're going to lose your mind when you find out what's going on." Rumlow said.
Confused by this, Davey nodded at Rumlow and started jogging to the medical bay, Veemon jumping up and clinging to her back as she raced off.
Arriving at the room, Davey pushed her way passed some the agents who were rushing about, looking over charts.
Finding Fury standing in front of a glass wall to one of the rooms, Davey walked up to stand beside the man.
"What's going on?" She asked making the man turn towards her.
"Last night, we got a call from one of our agents who were on a mission in the arctic. He and his crew found something. I can't believe that this is actually possible. Howard Stark had been trying to find him for years, but we finally managed to track him down by accident." Fury scoffed.
"What are you talking about?" Davey demanded.
Turning her head to look through the window, Davey's eyes grew wide in shock when she saw what appeared to be the body of a man covered in ice.
He was being slowly thawed out by the doctors who were hovering around him, checking his vitals and pulse very carefully.
"Holy shit... Is that really who I think it is?" Davey whispered in stunned awe.
"It is. And he's alive." Fury reported.
Gasping in shock, Davey kept her eyes glued to the defrosting body of the legendary Captain America, unable to believe that he was really only teen feet away from her.
As a child, she had been in awe of Captain America and looked up to him just like everyone else had, but after being turned into a super soldier herself, Davey wasn't certain how she felt about the man.
Looking down at the girl, Fury saw how she was staring intently at the Captain, knowing she had mixed emotions about the man being here.
Just then, the heart monitor started beeping wildly and the Captain groaned as he started thrusting his arms around, knocking out the doctors who tried to subdue him.
Recognizing the signs of PTSD, the female super soldier burst into the room, making her way over to the blond and pulled the doctors to safety.
"Stay back! He's having a nightmare!" She warned them.
Turning her attention back onto the man, the illusion of the great Captain America shattered and all she saw was Steve Rogers, an innocent man who had been through hell and needed someone to help him.
People seemed to always forget that super soldiers were humans and needed to be helped and taken care of just like ordinary people did.
Making her way over to the man, Davey placed her right hand against Steve's cheek, making him stop his thrashing, but he did nuzzle into her hold, seeking the warmth of her body.
"Shh, it's all right. No one here is going to hurt you. You're safe." She told him.
Some of the doctors were about to stop the girl from interacting with the Captain, but Fury stepped into the room and called them off, allowing Davey to do whatever she had to.
Noticing that the man was slowly calming down as she whispered nonsense to him about being safe, Davey started to run her fingers through his damp blond curls.
"C-Cold...so cold..." He shivered.
"I know. Don't worry, hun, we're taking care of you. You have to let the doctors do what they need to. You'll be warm and in a bed soon enough. Just try to relax and let them work. I promise, no one here is going to hurt you." She said.
Taking comfort in the sound of the soft voice and the warmth that was being provided, Steve desperately tried to open his eyes, wanting to see who was helping him.
Eye lids slowly opening, Steve's greenish blue eyes landed on the face of a beautiful young woman who had a gentle expression as she stared down at him.
He had never seen anyone with hair like hers before, wishing he had his sketch pad and pencil so that he could sketch her and hoped that he would be able to find a colored pencil that would match the gorgeous color of her hair.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw doctors walking over to them and he tensed up.
"Hey, it's okay. They're not going to hurt you. They're here to help. Just relax and let them do their job, okay, Blue Eyes?" She gave a small smile.
Nodding slowly, Steve nuzzled into her hand that was on his cheek, feeling his eyes closing, still too weak and tired to stay awake for very long.
"I'll be here when you wake up. Sleep now." She whispered, lulling him back to sleep.
Once she was sure the man had fallen back to sleep and wouldn't be having an episode, Davey backed away and allowed the doctors to continue their work, defrosting his lower half.
Sensing Fury walking up behind her, Davey crossed her arms and kept a vigilant watch over the man.
"You handled that very well." Fury commented.
"Thanks. So, he's my new assignment isn't he?" She asked him already knowing the answer.
"He is. You're the only person here who can understand him best. You already showed off that you can help him out when he needs. He needs someone and you're the only person I can trust to become his handler." Fury told her.
"Fine. But I want him in my apartment. He'll be living with me where he'll be safe and can get some peace to work through everything that's happened. Also, he may want the files on his old friends to look them over and help him adjust to the new time line." Davey said.
Fighting off a smirk at how easily the girl was taking on the role of taking care of her fellow super soldier, Fury nodded.
"Very well then. I'll let you do what you think is best for him. I'll get those files ready for you." Fury said as he walked out of the room.
Allowing the man to leave, Davey stayed where she was, watching over Steve carefully.
As she did this, she wondered if this was how Winter had felt when he had become her handler and taken on the role of watching over her.
As soon as Steve was defrosted, he was dressed into a pair of brown pants, shoes and a white shirt with the symbol of SHIELD before he was taken to Davey's apartment.
Tucking the man in, making sure he would be warm and comfortable; Davey then left the change into her civilian clothing and to cook food for when Steve eventually woke up.
Later on, Fury had the files on the Howling Commandos, Howard Stark and Peggy Carter so that Steve could read them later on.
