AN: I promise this is the last chapter without Bucky! I am literally going to cover the Avengers in one chapter but that is mainly because this is a Captain America story not an avengers fic.

The SSR was demolished, in its wake was a new organization, one they called SHIELD. Peggy and Howard agreed with one thing. There secret mission had to remain secret, Annie Rodgers was nothing but a memory for the time being.

"This all seems a little extreme Peg, why don't you just report her dead?" Peggy had reluctantly let Howard take Annie to New York where he was going use his own resources to thaw her out. "If she is dead there is no one to look for."

"Yes but if we say she is alive in the UK then they are going to go on a wild goose chase to find her, they may even become sloppy and we can draw them out."

Howard took the file reluctantly. Inside there was a profile

ANNIE MARIE ROGERS

Born July 12, 1920 Brooklyn New York

SSR assistant and PA to HOWARD STARK

During the war ANNIE M. ROGERS worked with SENATOR BRANT on the Captain America tour with STEVEN GRANT ROGERS.

ANNIE M. ROGERS was captured by HYDRA forces on September 5, 1944. ANNIE M. RODGERS was revived on September 12, 1944 by AGENT PEGGY CARTER and HOWARD STARK. ANNIE M. ROGERS now lives in London England.

The rest of the file had useless addresses to her "apartment' in London as well as phony contact information as well.

"This will work." Howard says, "Print it."

"Did you make any progress?"

"No, but I am making progress."

...oOo…

Tony Stark was not very trusting, maybe it was his aloof father, or the fact that despite how hard he tries, money isn't buying him happiness. Either way he was now downloading and encrypting every bit of information SHIELD was hiding from them.

Two things popped up, the first was a file called PHASE 2, while that looked extremely interesting, the second file peaked his interest. MISS. LIBERTY: ANNIE ROGERS.

Tony was on a helicarrier with one Roger, and he was an uptight 97 year old virgin. While he didn't agree with Howard's approval of the super soldier, He remembers his father talking about his sister. Annie Rogers was the sister to good old Captain America; she was his opening act for his little propaganda spread. After Rogers went under ice, she moved to London to stay isolated from any U.S affairs. Annie Rogers died in 2006. It seemed such a logical and natural story, so why would SHIELD have a whole file on Steve's Sister?

ANNIE MARIE ROGERS was captured by HYDRA forces and believed to have been returned to the SSR, however recent events have shown she never reached her retirement place in London. AGENT PEGGY CARTER and HOWARD STARK founders of SHIELD ordered a rescue mission for ANNIE M. RODGERS three days after her initial kidnapping, however we could not confirm this, Because of the mental health of AGENT PEGGY CARTER and the death of her late co-founder HOWARD STARK.

That got his attention; never in a million years did he think his father was somehow involved in this.

According to this file in 2010 a man went grave digging in hopes of stealing mementos that are buried with the dead. He unburied Annie's grave and found an empty casket, the only thing inside was her hair ribbons.

Annie Rogers was never buried; she was never seen after September 12th, 1944. It was obvious someone set up the whole story of her life post WWII.

Tony was scanning for what SHIELD found on the case but a red captioned word stuck out to him

PROJECT: LIBERTY

He knew that project; it was one his father worked on for years. He never knew what it was...in fact, he couldn't think of a time when he wasn't working on it.

He was about to read more, when his favorite one eyed director came storming in,

"What are you doing, Mr. Stark?" Fury booms, Bruce shrinks into a corner.

"I was actually wondering the same thing, you know finding out you woke up from a 70 year nap can be hard you don't know who to trust, and when the people you think are here to help you lie to your face… They tend to be less fortunate."

"You're supposed to be locating the Tesseract"

"You're avoiding my statement." He points out

"We have no information on Annie Rogers, all we have is PROJECT: LIBERTY, and we don't know what that even is. Agent Carter is much too gone to get any help from her, and we basically know nothing. If we were to tell Steve we can't locate her body, he would drop everything and search for her. We are not looking for a live person here, and we are looking for a body."

"Okay, you got it Fury, I will keep my trap shut but the moment this is over I am telling him. This is why no one likes you, your secrets have secrets." he looks at his computer switching to a different file. "By the way what is PHASE 2?"

As if on cue the infamous Captain America came in, dropping a weapon on his desk.

"PHASE 2 is SHIELD uses the cube to make weapons, sorry computer was moving a little too slow for me."

"Rogers, we gathered everything related to the Tesseract. This does not mean that we're…"

"I'm sorry, Nick." Tony turns the computer to face Steve, "What were you lying?"

"I was wrong, director. The world hasn't changed a bit". Steve spits.

At that moment, Thor and Natasha walk into the lab. Natasha keeps her eyes right on Banner. Bruce looks at her, clearly upset.

"Did you know about this?"

"You want to think about removing yourself from this environment, doctor?" he sneers at her

"I was in Calcutta, I was pretty well removed."

While everyone fought Tony thought about what Fury said, they had more important matters at hand but while he chose to keep quiet about his knowledge on PROJECT: LIBERTY he couldn't help but think of one thing he overheard several years ago…

"Yes, I know...Look based on these tests Liberty is advanced like her genetic code is abnormal."

Her genetic code

Her, as in Annie Rogers

Project Liberty wasn't a weapon; it was shorthand for The Darling Miss. Liberty.

"Stark?" Steve says, "Are you even listening?"

"No I am not, you know why?" everyone waits for his answer, "Because I got a thing."

"You have a what?" Fury says, clearly annoyed

He runs out of the lab, passing by the weapons room which inside he had his suit, conventionality locked up in a travel sized format.

"JARVIS activate theta protocol one!" his suit started to whir on command; he quickly changed and found an emergency exit.

"Stark, where are you going?" Natasha's voice was still distant in the halls

"I am going out honey, watch the kids."

"God damn it!" She cursed as he jumped out the door.

...oOo…

"JARVIS run all data on PROJECT: LIBERTY."

"There is only one thing, and it is a video message recorded by Howard Stark."

"He tends to do that, play it."

On the corner of his vision he saw his father; standing next to him looked something like a glass coffin.

"Tony if you are watching this then it means I was unsuccessful and that I am dead. This is the one secret I swore to Agent Carter I would take to my grave. Behind me is the casket of Annie Rogers, she was the sister to Steve Rogers a longtime friend of mine as you know. I made a promise the day I found her like this that I would find a way to bring her back, because she is in fact, alive but in a constant frozen state. However the only things I could find out about her is that whatever HYDRA did to her, she is enhanced past normal limitations, if I am guessing correctly HYDRA enhanced her vocal box. Also her brain cells are sharper too, almost like she got inhumanly intelligent. My technology may not be enough for her, but I hope in your day it can be. In this video is embedded her location and all my research. The choice is yours."

"Sir, would you like the location of where Annie Rogers is?"

"Yeah, why the hell not?"

...oOo…

Her father gave his Ice Princess the royal treatment, hidden in the forests of Virginia was an old cabin, the inside completely made of Steel, and it was negative 30 degrees inside, enough to keep her in the same state of suspended animation.

"Is she still alive?" he asked

"Yes Sir."

"Let's put that too the test." Tony powers up his hands

"Wait sir! Not In here, she needs to thaw out over an extended period of time. Change like that would shock her immune system."

"Good point, I am going to drop her off at the tower where…"

He paused, finally stepping close enough to view her face.

She looked like marble, her skin completely white and lips blue, but he could see the similar features in Steve, the long nose and round eyes...He was betting they were also blue. He looked at her neck not being able to contain his shock.

She had an ugly red scar that stretched from behind her ears to across her other ear, It unlike the rest of her body was red with circulation.

"Jarvis, what can you tell me about that scar?"

"All I can see sir, Is that it is a burn mark, It appears to be in the same shape as a neck restraint."

"But that doesn't explain why it is red; she has been frozen solid for nearly 97 years."

"That sir, I don't know."

"Act now, questions later then." Tony picked up the coffin, surprised at the lightness of it.

...oOo…

He was halfway to New York when he got an incoming call from Natasha.

"Accept." He says

"Tony, where the hell are you? You just left in the middle of a mid-life-crisis, so let me give you the rundown. Banner turned into the Hulk, and nearly killed me our engines started to fail so the mighty god of thunder and Steve had to kick start it again. Then Loki tricked him and escaped, maybe it will interest you if you knew that he is planning this attack from your roof top!"

"While that sounds like a lot of fun, I happen to be carrying Steve Rodgers very much alive sister. Turns out good old Dad had him the whole time!"

"And here I thought I was surprising you." she pauses "Is she okay? Is she conscious?"

"Oh I forgot to mention the part where she was cryogenically frozen and my Father spent his whole life trying to thaw her out." Tony hears a loud pop and Natasha curses

"Look, we need you on the field, put her someplace safe...New York is falling apart."

"When is it not… Look I am almost at the tower from there I will lock her up with the suits cover for me?"

"No, Tony did you listen…" He hung up on her, once the white Stark lettering came to view.

Landing on his launch pad he notices the disarray, there was someone pacing in his penthouse… It was Loki. So that's what Nat was trying to warn him about...

The Asgardian looked surprised none the less to see him carrying a glass casket, the god having no idea what it contained.

"Did you bring me a present?" he asks, "Please tell me you're going to appeal
to my humanity, I love it when they do that."

"No I was actually planning on threatening you."

"With whatever is in that?" he asks, "a glass casket."

"The casket is none of your concern, this wasn't part of the plan I just had a side job."

The Asgardian cocks his eyebrow.

"What is it?"

"Not telling, keep your nose out of other people's business, look I'm in my suit, I got a package, so give me a minute make yourself at home."

"That is not happening Tony Stark." Loki raised his Specter; a faint blue aura giving off it shook the tower violently, causing him to drop the casket. Running to check for any damage Annie seemed fine, only to have a stray hair covering her waxy lips.

"Okay, drink it in because it is all you're getting."

"Frozen, like the Captain." He inspects her face

"You say she is nothing, but I think otherwise, the question I want to know is why you are dead set on retrieving her while your team has suffered casualties.

"Casualties?" he growled

"Yes, the one you called Phil Coulson?"

"Oh you son of a bitch!"

"Indeed I am, so let's make this quick Man Of Iron who is she?"

"Annie Rogers, the sister to Captain America."

"Is she?" He muses, "That explains the ice, and I can see the resemblance unfortunate about the scar though."

"What do you know about the scar?"

"Everyone gifted has one, a flaw or imperfection. Thor had his arrogance, I turn blue, and Miss. Rogers here she has an ugly scar."

"Okay, so she is gifted?"

"Yes, I can feel her aura, and I want it."

"No, I am threatening you here, remember that!" Loki scoffs at him and raises the specter shining its blue light on Annie the casket started to sizzle like water on a hot frying pan, the glass melting, and her cheeks glowing. Tony desperately knew if he stopped him the exposure could kill her.

He stops and looks at the casket, in its place was a girl laying in melted frost. She was dressed in a plain grey dress, that was appropriate for the era but made of stiff cotton, and her feet were bare.

"You know Stark, she is rather pretty, and maybe when this is over I will make her my queen."

"That won't happen because last time I checked we have your brother, the demigod; a super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them."

"That was the plan."

"Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you." Tony quickly adds "And the Captain especially with you proposing to marry his sister against her will. Steve is from the 40's a really different time period. You actually respected woman back then."

"Your cunning words mean nothing, you are too afraid to attack me because of the girl, why do you care so much you never met her."

"Because my father said she was a good woman, I am taking his word for that."

"Ah yes, your father the drunk, who was never around."

"This is true, but I am not changing my mind reindeer guy. You won't harm her, did you ever consider that what they did to her could make her superior to you? What's your plan then?"

"She won't be no one is better at magic than me."

"Well it's not magic it's science and it wins every time."

"We shall see about that."

Annie started to cough and stir

"The moment she awakes I am putting her under my control."

He had other ideas, raising his palm without a thought he says

"You also managed to piss one more person off...his name was Phil." Tony blasts the god away; he hits the bar and is promptly passed out.

"Demigod my…"

"Jesus H Roosevelt Christ!" Tony bawks at her, she was standing up without a care in the world. "I am in a dream… I am dreaming!"

Just to make matters worse JARVIS kicks in.

"Miss. Rogers I am sensing a panic attack, the recommended procedure is to take deep breaths follow my count 1, 2…"

"What on earth!"

"JARVIS not now!"

"Of course sir."

"Annie right?" he says carefully

She spins her head to see Tony, still in his suit, of course that would scare her. Instead she a look of relief crosses her face.

"Howard?" she says, "The arch reactor?"

"No, I am not Howard." he clasps off his face plate a look of utter confusion crossing her face.

"But you look like him, but…"

"I am his son."

"That is impossible you are the same age as he was…"

"Annie, I know you are having a hard time but you have been asleep for nearly 70 years."

"I what?" she squeaks, "Maria!" she blurts

"What?"

"Did he marry Maria?"

"Yes, she was my Mom."

"I only saw a picture of her, but you have her eyes." she frowns, "Oh golly, how weird I remember seeing a picture of your mother nearly 70 years ago."

"You are taking this rather well." He commented

"Well, the things that have happened to me recently...I mean back then…"

"What things Annie, if you can help us we can use all the help we can get."

"Why what's wrong?"

As briefly as he could he explained Loki, and the attack on New York, he excluded the part about her brother he felt she wouldn't listen to another word he said if he brought up Steve.

"Well, I am going to stop questioning it Mr. Stark so I ask you to do the same."

"What?" he says, "No questions?"

"For now, you said New York was about to fall apart?"

He nods

"When I was serving in the war, I was captured by HYDRA. They saw the propaganda spread me and my brother started." She paused a lump in her throat forming at the thought of Steve.

"Anyways, HYDRA injected me with a serum that enhanced my vocal chords, it made me stronger too, when I tried to escape I took out four soldiers, but I couldn't use my gift because they had on strange earmuffs… Anyways it gave me the power to force men to comply with my orders, against my will. I can also do it in any language."

"One question Annie." she nods, "Can you really control it? Are you ready to do this?"

She sort of shrugs

"I can't believe I am saying this, but yes."

"Okay Rogers, first up we need to get rid of this guy." Annie looks at the unconscious man.

"Who is he?"

"Loki"

"The one you told me was a god?"

"The very one."

"I don't know if it will work on him...he isn't human."

"If it doesn't, then I knock him out again." He reaches into a compartment in his suit, pulling out some bath salts. Loki inhales his eyes snapping awake immediately.

"My queen awakens." He grins

"You're what?" she snaps at him

"Oh she is feisty, I like you." Annie clears her throat, her voice growing more demanding.

"You will take this rope by your feet and you will tie yourself to this bar, then you will refrain from using any magic unless I tell you so, understood?"

Loki's eyes widen as he reaches for the rope, tying himself as she instructed.

"What in the devil did you do?"

"Science Bitch" Tony says as he wraps an arm around Annie

"That was perfect now we got to stop a huge portal then we are good."

"a what?"

"No questions remember."

...oOo…

Annie Rogers understood the situation once outside. Zipping towards them in every direction Annie saw aliens.

She was having a really hard time processing all of this.

She still couldn't process what happened to her, having her new gift then they throw aliens into the mix?.

"Do they speak English?" she asked Tony Stark

"I have no idea, but they are going to wait for orders once they find out what happened to Loki.

Tony was now on the roof of the building she woke up in.

There a man, in his early forties was gasping in shock; guilt was evident on all of his features.

"It might be able to close the portal." he tells a woman.

.

"Nat, is the Doctor still all wonky in the head?"

"No Tony he isn't" She turns around, her mouth agape

"Is that Annie Rogers?" she asks Tony

"In the flesh." she says, "I'm glad I left an impression."

"Does Steve know?"

"Steve!" Annie squeaks, "He is alive?" she looks over the edge of the building, like he was behind her.

"No Nat, She was a little busy defrosting."

"Where is my brother?" she demanded

"Look Annie, now is not the time we are in the middle of a war…"

"I was always in the middle of a war." She reminded him, "Now I am not asking again, where the hell is Steve? Tell me!"

"Steve is fighting, like he always is in his cute little costume." Natasha's eyes widen and she covers her mouth

"I wasn't going to say that."

"That's Annie." Tony said, "She has the ability to force you to do anything."

Her eyes light up in recognition

"That could be useful; I just found out we can close the portal with Loki's Scepter."

"I have a better Idea." Annie pipes up, "I can order the Army to go back into the portal and never return."

"Wait, you can do that?" Natasha was sizing her up, and it made Annie feel uncomfortable.

"I can speak every language, so that includes whatever this is."

The woman looks at her strangely then nods, pressing her ear she started talking

"Rogers, get to the top of Stark Towers, there is something you need to see."

Oh my god was that her brother?

"I know you're busy, but trust me this is going to change everything."

"Okay Annie, slight change in plans. Stark is going to capture one of these bastards and you are going to have a nice chat."

Tony gave Natasha a salute and blasted into the sky, he swooped down grabbing the first soldier he saw. He let out a string of curses.

"Set me down Man of Iron!"

"What is he saying?" Natasha asks, "He sounds like a screaming girl."

Annie waited for him to say something smart, but she realized the alien didn't understand English.

"Soldier, how nice of you to join me, you will have to forgive Tony Stark, he is only doing what he is asked."

The horrendous creature looks up at her

"You speak my tongue?" he frowns "Impossible."

"I speak all tongues, so that include yours. The Avengers have you beat, and your leader is tied up to a chair do you wonder why you have not received orders?"

"I only need one, and it is to exterminate your pathetic human race." He raised his claws at her about to strike; Natasha aims her gun at him.

"You will not strike me." Anger flashes in her eyes, the soldier looks in awe as he tries to swing at her, but misses her completely.

"I never miss; I am trained to never miss." He hisses

"You come from a society built on commands, so I am giving you one last one. Go to your ship and order your men to go home."

"That is impossible I don't hold that authority."

"Then lie, say the Avengers are dead and Loki ordered you to go back, he wants to rule earth alone without your patrol."

The Soldiers face grimaces in pain as he tries to attack her, but it was like she was untouchable.

"You are forcing me to do this you vile human scum!" his feet were betraying him as he started to walk towards his transportation.

"It's Siren to you soldier."

Annie watched as he picked up a small looking square device and screeched into it, he then flew right back into the portal."

It took a few minutes but then slowly the whole army started to retreat, one by one.

"Oh my god, you did it." Tony says

"Yes, Yes I did."

"Can you speak every language?"

Annie shrugs

"As far as I know"

"Then when this is all over we can have you improve JARVIS' dialect chart and we can…"

"Why is the army retreating did Thor get through to Loki?" Annie froze at the sound of that voice. It was the same voice as…

"Steve" Natasha warned, "Brace yourself for this one okay?"

Whipping around at the sound of his name, Annie's eyes widen at the sight of him, his lip was split and he was in his Captain America costume, if Annie didn't know any better she would say it was still 1944.

"Annie?" he breathes, "Oh my god you're alive." he walks slowly towards her, "What happened to your neck?"

She never had time to look in the mirror although she assumed he was referring to when she got burnt in HYDRA captivity.

"Steve?" her voice cracks, "You're alive? After all this time?"

She engulfs him in a hug, her body shaking as she cried tears of joy; her brother was alive, in this scary world, with aliens flying over her head.

"Oh my god how is this possible?" he said, "They told me you died in 2006." he looks at Natasha, the only current SHIELD agent.

"I didn't know she was alive, everyone assumed her body was stolen, Peggy Carter and Howard Stark did everything to keep her off of SHIELD's grid, they did such a good job that we didn't know she even existed."

Steve stiffens at Peggy's name; Annie feels a wave of guilt that she had not thought of her former best friend.

"How did they find you?"

"I take full responsibility for that." Tony raises his metal hand, "After you left to fight Schmidt, HYDRA captured Annie, and they tested on her. She was cryogenically frozen when my Father found her and he spent the rest of his life trying to thaw her. SHIELD had Intel about this and I connected the dots."

Steve looks at him

"Thank you Stark."

He waves him off

"Your sister is pretty amazing, so it was my pleasure, do you know she can control people's actions and force them to do something against their will."

"You can what?" Steve pulls away from her

"I noticed you were in a dilemma so I told them to go home."

"Where is Loki?" He asked

"Tied to a chair" Tony pipes up, "She prevented a war."

"I just can't believe you're alive all we need now is…" Annie flinched, knowing what he was going to say Bucky, they just needed Bucky.

"It's like I just lost him yesterday, but it has been seventy years, do you know how strange that is?"

He nods

"Just wait until you see a cell phone."
"A what?"

"They are like phones but smaller and..."

"Why don't we go out to eat? I really want shawarma; I don't know what that is but…"

"Do they still have Fizzy's? " She asked, "Because I apparently haven't had one in 70 years!"

Everyone looked at her and laughed, Steve had to contain a grin.

"No, it is called Soda Annie."

AN: Wow! Sorry that the whole Avengers plot is a bit different, but The meat of this story focuses on CAWS and CATA, so there is this movie between it that kind of gets in the way...The next chapter will be a major time jump to CATWS I was thinking after I finish this I will do some one shots in between the time jumps, so let me know if you would read that.
