Steve stepped into the lab. Tony and Bruce were both staring open mouthed at Felicity.

"Is there a prob-"

"Sh sh sh sh sh" Tony waved his hand, silencing him. "She's doing magic." He whispered.

Felicity's fingers were flying. Her enhancement made her reflexes faster, so she was able to work the computer with more speed than Steve had ever seen Tony use. In the center of the room a program was beginning to assemble in the center holo-table.

"That's-" Steve said.

"SHHHHHH" Tony and Bruce glared at him.

"You called me up here." Steve hissed.

"That was before I knew we were in the presence of Athena incarnate." Tony retorted.

Steve fell silent and watched in amazement as Felicity completely rebuilt JARVIS's entire program. Backing away from the screens, she started swaying. Steve grabbed her and steadied her.

"Are you okay?" Tony said rushing over. "Do you need water or a towel or a Nobel Prize, because I am willing to buy all of those for you and more."

"Tony." Steve grumbled.

"Do you realize what she just did?" Bruce asked.

"She resurrected JARVIS." Tony said. "She must have created a backdoor in the computer system during the first Ultron attack which allowed enough of his program to escape, making it easier for her to go back and find him later. Then she reconstituted the parts that didn't make it." He gaped at her. "I'm in love."

Steve looked down at Felicity. "Are you okay?" He looked her over for any signs of injury.

"I just feel woozy." She said. "I…got the feeling that I knew how to do it

and – " She shrugged, a brilliant smile breaking over her face; "I did it!"

Steve nodded. "Yes." He couldn't help smiling back. "Yes, you did."

"Stop hoovering." Tony said. "You're overwhelming her." He gave Steve a shove. "Marry me." He said to Felicity.

"I'm pretty sure Pepper might have some objections." Steve said, pulling Felicity closer to his side.

"Then she can marry her too." Tony said. "I'm willing to share…with Pepper."

Felicity was shaking her head at Tony's antics, when she suddenly froze. Her eyes grew wide. Steve noticed that she was looking down at the infirmary…where Barry was standing next to Pietro. She stood, walking down the steps; she opened the door and walked over to the Scarlet Speedster, her expression confused.

"You seem…familiar." She said softly.

"Felicity it's me." Barry said. "It's Barry, Barry Allen."

She backed away from him, her hands coming to her head. She let out a small cry of pain.

"What's wrong?" Barry said.

Steve came to stand behind her, as a steadying force. Gently putting his hands on her shoulders he looked at Barry and indicated to meet him outside. Barry stubbornly planted his feet and crossed his arms, refusing to move. Helping Felicity over to a chair, Steve waited until Pietro came over to take Felicity's hand, before pulling Barry out of the room. Leading him down the hall, and up a few floors, he brought him into the common area.

"Her mind was wiped by Hydra." He explained, indicating a seat.

"We figured that; our Felicity would never kill." Barry said, sitting on the couch and crossing his arms.

Steve felt a stab of anger. Though he was sure Barry hadn't meant it, his use of the word 'our' implied that the woman in the lab was somehow not equal to the woman he'd known. "She's still the same person, she's just gone through a trauma the likes of which no one should be able to imagine." Steve shook his head. "It causes her pain every time she tries to remember something. Sometimes, things come on their own and that seems to be okay, but when she tries to force it…" He trailed off.

"How long have you had her here?" Barry asked.

"We found her during a bust of a Hydra facility the day you contacted us." Steve said.

"What did they do to her?" Barry asked.

Steve took a deep breath. "Have you ever heard of the Winter Soldier?"

About an hour later, Barry was sitting on one of the couches with his head in his hands.

"How the hell am I going to tell the others?" He asked.

"I don't know if you should." Steve said.

"Why? Are you afraid that Oliver and the others will try to take her?" Barry asked, then his eyes narrowed. "Wait…that is what you're worried about, isn't it."

"Yes and no." Steve said. "I'm concerned that forcing her to confront her past directly could irreparably damage her."

"She's already been irreparably damaged." Barry hissed. Steve looked at him in shock.

"This is exactly why I held off on telling you. She's not broken, but that doesn't mean that she isn't vulnerable. You can't expect her to be the person she was and get angry because she no longer fits your image of who you believe she should be. You saw what happened in the lab, she was blindsided and tried to force her memories; it does more bad than good. What do you think is going to happen when you tell her team? Do you think you'll be able to stop them from coming here? Do you think if I had called you up when I found her, that you'd have even waited a second before running here?"

Barry looked at the ground in shame. "She's never going to be the same again is she?"

"No." Steve said.

"Two years." Barry's voice was hoarse. "I guess we should have expected that the Felicity we'd find…" He closed his eyes. "You're right. She's better off here for now. I can hold off on whether or not to brief the others after we deal with Ultron."

"Thank you." Steve said.

"I just…I wish you could have met her before." Barry said. "she was…"

"She is." Steve corrected.

"Cap." Tony said, rushing into the room. "We've got a situation; Crazy Red, and I don't mean Nat, just showed up in the infirmary because she had a feeling. After checking over your girl, she told Bruce he should call Dr. Cho. No one's answering. Maximoff says it's bad and that she thinks Ultron's behind it. You, the spy kids, the super twins, and Speedy red-zales are going to check on her."

"Where's Thor?" Steve asked.

Tony rolled his eyes. "On some sort of vision quest to 'find answers'," he made air quotes. "If he wanders out of the woods before you come back I'll hose off the animal blood and send him your way."

"Felicity?" Steve asked.

"Wanda made her sleep. She's fine, but she needs rest." Tony "No worries, I'll watch her while you're gone." He faltered at the look on Steve's face. Sighing he corrected, "no worries, Bruce'll watch her while you're gone." Then he glared at Barry. "BTW, all your future playdates with Smoakie have been canceled."

"Tony." Steve said.

"We can't risk any damage to her psyche." Tony insisted. "Until she asks for him, he's not seeing her. That's final." He puffed out his chest in an attempt to look threatening. Barry got a bemused expression

"Yes sir."

Steve tried to hide a smile. Though he often tried to hide it, there was no denying that deep down, Tony cared about those around him. He was surprised at the speed with which the billionaire had taken to Felicity; usually it took Tony years or an alien invasion to be able to trust someone and be protective of them. Steve's amusement must have shown on his face because Tony shifted uncomfortably and cleared his throat before saying:

"Right. Um…get out there and do some Avenging…don't die." He turned and walked to the lab.

"Wow." Barry said. "That's…encouraging."

"Don't worry." Steve smirked. "I'll make sure your dessert privileges haven't also been revoked."
