James was now 16 years of age. He had dirty blonde hair like Steve and green eyes like Natasha. James also trained hard with his uncles plus the serum had made him muscular. He was in a regular high school with normal people, he had classes like everyone else. He got through it all with the help of his friends like Scarlett Stark, Torunn daughter of Thor, Nathaniel Barton, Steven Barnes, Petro Maximoff (Wanda's child), and Luke Wilson.

Natasha had a hard time after Steve's death, but she grew to accept it and focus on raising James. There was a huge monument for the fallen captain in Washington D.C., he's shield was kept in the Avengers Tower on display. Natasha was currently finishing breakfast for James when he came running down the stairs.

"Hey, mom!" James shouted as he made his way over to Natasha and picked up his plate.

"Hey, honey how was your sleep?" James sat down at a counter and ate his eggs.

"It was good, oh and mom. Luke, Steven, Nathaniel, and I are going to hang out after school," James said as he ate his food very rushed.

"Okay, but don't be too late your father's Remembrance Day is today and I don't want you to miss it," Natasha said with a hint of a sad voice. Natasha looked back up at James and smiled, "He would be so proud of you," James looked up from his food and smiled at his mom.

"Thanks, mom, I wish I could have known him," James said as he grew sadder thinking about his father.

"Me too honey, but we can't be sad you got to go to school today, now hurry up our you going to be late." James nodded as he grabbed his backpack from the counter and ran out the door. James meet up with Nathaniel at the bus stop and went to school.

A couple classes later. . .

James was in history class and he was just drawing on the desk to pass the time. James looked up to see the girl he had a crush on look his way and smile, James smiled back. "James!" James snapped out of whatever he was just in and looked up at the teacher.

"What?" Everyone in the room laughed.

"Do you know the answer," James looked around confused.

"What was the question?" The teacher sighed and repeated the question.

"What year was captain America born, and what year did he die?" James knew the answer but it always was difficult talking about his father.

"Umm. . ." As he was looking around the room he saw a hand shoot up.

"Yes, miss Stark?" The teacher asked Scarlett.

"He was born on July 4, 1920, and he died in 2017, April, 6th," James rolled his eyes at the super smart girl that was supposed to be 2 grades below.

"Yes that is correct, miss Stark," The teacher said. Then the teacher looked over at James, "Mabey you should pay more attention in class."

After class. . .

James meet up with Steven in the hallway. "Hey man," Steven said to an approaching James.

"Hey, how was your class?" Steven shrugged.

"Lame like the usual," They walked together down the hall. "Dude, Uncle Tony is giving Scarlett her own suit today. Like what the fuck, why don't we have anything," James just shrugged it off.

"She is a daughter of a billionaire, and Ironman," James said as they walked in the cafeteria together.

"What, you don't want something to kick ass with," Steven asked but James shrugged, he didn't really want to fight evil like his parents. "Dude, I would love to have a metal arm like my dad, don't you want you father's shield?"

"That's his and will always be his, I don't want to fight. My dad died fighting, I want to be different," James said as he sat down at an empty table.

"Okay, but let's look at Nathan. He couldn't inherit his dad's bow because of Cooper, but he found another way. He is using batons now," Steven said as Nathan sat down with them.

"What are you guy's talking about?" James shook his head.

"Nothing, have you seen Luke anywhere?"

"I'm right here," Luke said behind them as they all turned round to see him standing there with a huge smile on his face.

"What are you smiling about Wilson?" Nathan asked.

"Because I have something to show you," Luke said as he gestured for them to follow. The others looked at each other and shrugged and followed.

1 hour later. . .

"Why are we here?" James asked as he looked up at the Avengers tower.

"Because, I have a surprise," They followed Luke up to the top floor to find it empty.

"Why is it so empty?" Steven asked as he looked around the place.

"The Adults are setting up the ceremony, which means no one's home," Luke said with a huge smile.

"What about F.R.I.D.A.Y?" Nathen asked as he walked around the empty place.

"She is currently disabled thanks to a little program I stole from Scarlett," Luke said as he kept on walking further in.

"Wow," Steven said as he kept on following Luke. They walked for a bit until they reached a big door with the words 'DO NOT ENTER!' on it.

"I'm guessing this is the place?" Nathen asked to which Luke nodded and pulled out a card of some kind and flashed it into the scanner and the door opened. Inside was a room full of armor for the Avengers and weapons too, everyone's face lit up except James as they ran in and looked around. Luke was looking at a new winged suit for his dad while Nathan was looking at cool prototype gadgets on the table. Steven was looking at a new design for his father's arm. James, however, couldnt help but fell like he was begin pulled toward an object, as James got closer to the source he saw his dads shield in the process of cleaning and when James got to the source he found a machine that was half covered by a sheet. James removed the sheet to see it in full and he couldn't help but feel like he knew it. James was looking at it more closely when a voice came from nowhere.

"Cool what is that!?" Steven said from right next to James. James jumped and slipped on the sheet and fell backward touching the machine on his way down. The machine lets out a big crank and gears turned and a blue beam shoots up breaking through any floors above and out the roof. "Oh, no," Steven said as he back up from the machine.

"WOW!" Nathen yelled as he saw the beam.

"What the fuck did you do!?" Luke screamed at James as he got to his feet.

"I-i slipped and I touched it by accident," James said as he looked at the machine.

"Well turn it off!" Steven shouted over the noise.

"How?" James asked as he looked between the two.

Meanwhile . . .

"And that should be it," Tony said as he looked at the good work.

"It looks nice," Natasha said as she stood next to Tony.

"Now all we have to do is-" Bucky was about to say something else when a loud noise drew their attention to the Avengers Tower. They saw a large blue beam shot into the sky.

"Not again," Tony said as he sighed and he called his suit to him.

Back with the crew. . .

"What the hell are you morons doing!" Everyone looked over at the door to find a pissed off Scarlett, Petro, and Torunn.

"We can explain, but first we have to shut it off!" James yelled to them. Scarlett sighed and called her new suit Tony gave her.

"I have to do everything!" once the suit formed around her body she aimed her repulsors at the machine.

"NO!" Luke yelled but he was too late as a shot hit the machine. On impact, the machine burst into flames and then it created a giant blue energy ball that was sucking everything in. They all panicked, everyone grabbed onto something as the ball started to suck everything into it. James looked over to see his father's shield start to move towards it. The shield started to pick up speed and just as it was passing James he reached out with one hand and grabbed it.

Steven looked over at James holding the shield, "James let go, you won't be able to hold on!"

"I can't, it's the only thing I have left of his!" James yelled as he hung on tighter but felt his grip loosen.

"James, let go!" Luke yelled but James didn't listen and held onto the shield. James felt his fingers slip and he felt himself be sucked into the blue portal.

"JAMES!" All the kids screamed as they watched James get sucked in.

"I don't care, I'm going in after him!" Steven yelled as he let go.

"What!?" Scarlett yelled as she watched Steven vanish into the blue energy ball. "Don't tell me you guys are going to follow!"

"We have to!" Both Luke and Nathen yelled at they let go.

"They need help! I'm going!" Torunn yelled as she let go and followed.

"Same!" Petro shouted as he did the same.

"Are you kidding me!" Scarlett sighed and let go too. "AHHHH!" she vanished into the Blue energy ball to leaving the room empty. The energy ball closed up, leaving nothing left in that room, everything is gone. Seconds later Tony arrived in the room looking around to find nothing.
