Evie left Thor demanding for more of the sweet things on the stick and went for a walk. She saw Steve in lab on his own reading. "Hello Steve" she smiled, sitting down next to him. Steve smiled and looked up from his book. "Hello Evie, How has your day been?" He asked. She bit into the marshmallow she had been carrying "Ok" she chewed.

"marshmallow?" she offered the other part of the spongy white treat in her hand. Steve chuckled and took the sweet from her "Thank you" he smiled. Evie smiled back, gosh he is kinda pretty, she thought and blushed a little. Evie glanced at the book He was reading "Whatcha' reading?" she asked curiously. Steve sighed, "It's a modern history, but to me" he looked at evie who was listening intently, "It's the future" he said looking back at the book.

"I'm up to about the 80's, I thought the fashions in this era was bad but Jeez, I don't know what happened.." he muttered. "Tony keeps talking about the eighties..maybe that's what happened. Tony happened" Evie giggled. Steve chuckled and nodded, "Yeah, maybe you're right". Evie rolled her eyes at Steve "Maybe? I am always right steve" Evie said confidently. "Oh really?" He asked with his eyebrow raised. "No not really, I don't even know the price of gallon of milk is" she laughed. "2 dollars" Steve smiled, "And now I do" she giggled.

Evie pulled another marshmallow from her pocket, and read some of the book. "You know Steve" Steve looked up from his book "Me and you aren't so different" she mused. Steve raised an eyebrow at her comment. "Don't look at me like I'm crazy hear me out, even though your like 65 years old-""seventy" Steve corrected. "Okay, 70, and I'm 11, we both have been locked away for a long time from the outside world" she nodded, proud of the conclusion she had come to.

"Yes, I guess you're right" Steve smiled, he was glad to have someone who understood, people tried to but never could really put themselves into his potion. Evie is such a bright girl for her age, she acts over double her age, and is a pleasure to be around, steve thought and smiled. "So, how cool was it to shoot Nazi's?", Alright maybe not double her age..'

MEANWHILE..SOMEWHERE IN THE S.H.E.I.L.D BASE...DUNUNUNUNUNUN

"Once she is rehabilitated, we will find a suitable home for her, there is a academy in New York for people like her" Director Fury, said handing the academy's papers to Natasha. Nat hated the idea of her being shipped off, she had been abandoned by everybody else, she sure as hell wasn't leaving her side.

Fury saw the disdain on Natasha's face "Something bugging you?" he asked sitting opposite her on his desk. Natasha sighed. "Look I'll be straight with you, I don't want her leaving for half way across the country" she shook her head at the thought. "Well you do you have any better ideas?" Fury asked, irritated.

Natasha knew it might not work, hell what did she know about looking after a kid, nothing that's what. But she couldn't just leave her, she knew it was hard for her to trust people and to just break that trust, it would break her. She knew what it could do, she had been through herself. All she knew is that she wanted to give Evie a better childhood than Natasha had.

she breathed in "I'll look after her" she said simply, looking dead seriously into Furry's eyes. "Excuse me?" Furry asked, not believing what he had heard. "I want to become her legal gurdian" she stated. Furry was lost for words, Natasha wasn't one for emotions. "You do know what that means Natasha?" he asked, trying to get his head around what she had said. "Yes, I know what it means or I wouldn't say it" she snapped looking away. "I'll look in to it" he said halfheartedly.

"Look, I am not waiting months on end waiting for paper while she rots in an orphanage, once she's better, she's coming with me." she sighed, Looking back at Furry "I will be her mother."
