The Avengers Tower…

Bucky ran into the lobby and immediately told the computerized Butler he needed to see urgently all the Avengers

"I apologise Mr. Barnes, but Mr. Stark denied access for you", the A.I told

"Tell him it's something about Steve", Bucky argued while standing in front of the elevator and pressing the button to call it. JARVIS went silent for a moment (Bucky guessing the computer was telling Stark why he was here)

"Mister Stark says, he doesn't care", JARVIS said after a while, gaining Barnes' anger

"Damn it, fucking computer !..", he hissed as he as well noticed that the elevator wasn't come down yet, "..Then tell Natasha I need to talk to her !", he yelled as his patient runs out. He needed to tell someone he just found Steve.

"Bucky ?", Natasha's voice fill the lobby

Barnes nods as he lifts his head, "Natasha. I need to talk to you about Steve…", he told, hearing a sigh of her

"Bucky, I can't -

"..I saw him earlier - downtown Brooklyn", Bucky cut her words. He unfolds his arms and them puts them on his hips, right after he heard the elevator arrive and opening its doors.

Barnes smiles as he nods his head and steps inside the elevator, and guessing by the buttons, he figured out she must be in the red-hourglass button floor, or maybe on Steve's ? Because there's also a button that has Steve's shield logo on it. Oh well, he'll go with the easy one, the main comm floor (the button had an 'A' on it. Referring to the Avengers). Once the elevator arrived to the floor, he quickly stepped out and slightly took a surprise step back as he saw the whole Avengers standing in the entrance waiting for him. Tony and Thor had their arms crossed. Clint was next to Natasha, both staring at him while Bruce had little Steve in his arms, bouncing the boy on his hip.

"Why the fuck you're doing all this ?", Stark gritted through his teeth as he took a step towards Barnes

"I'm not doing shit", Bucky bit back

Clint snarled and dramatically threw his hands to the air, saying, "Oh ! So claiming that Steve it's not dead is a -

"I saw him !..", Bucky stepped forward as he glances between them, and then seeing Natasha, "..I can't forget his damn face - even with a beard", he told her

"Oh my God", Stark said, chuckling humorously while shaking his head

"Beard ?", Banner frowned as he kept bouncing his nephew, who was too busy drinking his apple juice from his cup

"For Odin. What are you human talking about ?", Thor asked, his brows furrowed tightly. Clearly not happy with this conversation

Natasha stepped in before Barnes could've respond, "Bucky..", she started as standing in front of him, "..It's impossible..", she said in a soft voice (she knew exactly what Bucky must be going through. Because she saw Steve several times before he died, she hallucinated Steve on every fucking corner. Everywhere she went, she saw Steve on every human. So she does know exactly what Bucky is going through), "..Maybe it was someone who looked like Steve", she gently tried to explain. But Bucky shook firmly his head and says,

"I know it was him, Natasha..", he told, backing up ever slowly to keeping saying, "..And I don't know why he ran away from me, but I'm gonna prove all of y'all that it was Steve", he vowed as he steps into the elevator, disappearing when the doors closed.

Natasha closes her eyes, hanging her head between her shoulders as she sighs and pinches the brick of her nose. Clint walked towards her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, as he and the rest started to argue,

"Do we believe him ?", Thor asked, letting his arms fall to his sides. Tony shakes his head in negative

"I don't think so, Thor..", Stark said, "..The man was brainwashed by crazy scientists - maybe he's still under HYDRA's influence and here we are letting him enter our home", he finished the conversation with going to the bar (probably for a drink). Thor sighs as he turns around and asked Bruce if he could carry his nephew. The Doctor smiled at him and nodded, lending him the boy, who squeaked as soon as he saw his uncle Thor's stretching arms towards him. He stretched his little arms too to let his uncle Thor carry him away into the kitchen, with Bruce close by.

Natasha was still in front of the elevator with Clint next to her, she whispered, "He looked convinced on seeing Steve", the redhead slowly turns to see her friend. Barton sighs deeply and closes his eyes

"Tasha..", he breathes out and sees at her, "..You know that's not even possible", Clint said with the all the pain in his heart, his hand never leaving her shoulder. Natasha swallowed the knot on her throat as she nods weakly

"I know..", she told in a trembling voice, "..But seeing in his eyes the hope and excitement..", she turned her head back to see her feet, hugging her herself she murmurs, "..It made me believe", Romanoff closes her eyes as she felt Clint replacing his hand with a tight hug.

Moments later, after they all calmed down, (of Bucky's revelation), Natasha decided to go rest and take a nap to her floor while Thor had Steven in his floor. She'll make sure to thank the demi-god for taking care of her son this moment. Of course they'll take care of Steven anytime, but right now, she really needed be alone.

The redhead was laying on the king-size bed with her eyes staring at the ceiling. She had her fingertips running on the collar that the Captain was wearing when he died - his dog tags, wedding ring, and the pendant with her letter N she gave him for their anniversary. Romanoff felt a warm tear fall from the corner of her eye as she fists the collar tightly. And since she couldn't stop thinking about her husband, she sighs deeply and pulls Steve's blanket out of her legs, going to the walk-in closet. Natasha walks to the very end and spots the big shoe box she's looking for on the floor, (which it didn't had any shoes and she didn't dare to open the box since she knew Steve's belongings were there. She didn't had the 'strength' to open it until now. Now that Bucky had lighten this hope up), it had Steve's sketchbooks. The Spy sits on the floor and crossed her legs, taking out the first book in her hands and then opening it, she gasped as soon she saw the very first page.

A rough sketch for her sleeping on the bed. It was beautifully drawn. Beautiful…. simple as that.

She kept flicking through the pages and they were mostly all of her sleeping or her smile, eyes, mouth. It was always her. Until one sketch made her heart rip apart in pieces. This one sketch that has drawn her and Steve on a bed, he was hugging her from behind while she was ducking her head and smiling ear-to-ear.

In love…. That was the first words it came to her mind.

And she remembered that day, and if she's not mistaken, that day was in their first wedding anniversary vacation. They were laying lazily on the hotel bed, spent after having so much sex, so Steve just started kissing her naked back and caressing her sides with his gentle hands. He was whispering how much he loved her as his hot breath was causing her to shiver. She closed her eyes and sighed so happy having her man worshipping her battle scars on her bare back. The redhead smirked when she felt Steve slipping an arm around her waist and kissing the back of her neck, he continued kissing her neck with mouth open kisses (sometimes sucking and leaving a mark of his. Natasha biting her bottom lip, trying to resist the urge to start another round), until he stops, placing a lovingly kiss on the back of her head and murmuring softly into her hair: I love you so much, Natasha...

Romanoff let out a small cry and lets the book fall on her lap as she started to cry softly, her hands to cover her face. She sobbed quietly while leaning her shoulder to the wall and getting control of herself. And she does, she sniffs and cleaning her wet face from the tears.

And because she damn misses her husband so bad, Natasha says the following, "JARVIS, can you track Bucky ?", her voice was still cracked because of the crying

"That's a stalking accion, ma'am", JARVIS slightly warned the Spy

The redhead sighs as she starts putting Steve's sketchbooks back to its place, "I know, J..", she said while putting the last book back and then closing the box with its lid, "..But I need to see him", she placed the box were it was and stood up from the floor. It took JARVIS time to tell her where Bucky was, because he was scanning through the streets security cameras to locate the Winter Soldier. Where luckily, he was on a Coffee shop sipping in his hot beverage, sitting on a table from outside of the store. So she quickly, before Bucky would be gone, put a hoodie and glasses on and took her keys from the bowl next to the elevator entrance, going to that coffee shop.

Once she got to the store, she parked her vehicle next to the curb and got out of her SUV. Scanning into the tables a lonely man with a dark cap on and his head down while staring at his coffee cup. And there he was, exactly how JARVIS told he was. She sighs and shoved her keys into her pocket, starting to walk towards Barnes, she stood a few feet away from him, "Hey", Natasha softly greeted as she sheepishly smiled down at him. Bucky knits his brows and slowly turns his head up, surprised to see her here

"Natasha ?", he asked confused with her presence. The redhead nods and turned her lips into a thin line, nervously feeling about this

"I uh..came so you..", she managed to say after an awkward silence, "S-so you could...tell me where you saw Steve", Natasha told while holding his intense stare.

Brooklyn, NY…

The Rodriguez house…

Stephen was fixing his car, but he couldn't concentrate since he saw that man who called him Steve.

"Steve..", Stephen said, his lips found quite familiarity on the name, "..Steve..", he repeated while leaning on the driver side door as he cleans his fingers with a rag, "..Steeevvve..", he run the name though his tongue again, concentrating very hard to see if that name meant something for him. The blonde furrowed his eyebrows tightly as he repeats the name again, "..Steve", he said it again, bit it was firm, like if he was scolding himself and telling his brain to remember something.

That's when he felt a sharp pain in his head, the pain he feels when he remembers something about his past. Not flashbacks, but memories...

His eyes widened so much that he even thought his eyes would pop out while kneeling down and pressing his head with hands, trying to relive some of the dull pain. He grits his teeth tightly and closes his eyes shut, because he memories flew into his brain, remembering everything. When his mom used to cook for him, when she worked her head out and was able to smile warmly at him as he laid on the hospital bed, taking care of him while he was damn sick. He remembered when he and Bucky went to school and he defended him everyday from the bullies, then, walked back home as he heard Bucky's 'sermons' on how he was a damn punk and stupid to never back down on a fight. He also remembered when his mother died and the Barnes and few other people attend to the funeral, Bucky tried to convince him to move into his house but he refused. He remembered when his best friend told him he was going to the army because he got accepted. He remembered when he enlisted to the army and got several times denied because of his puny and sickly form. He remembered that one day got accepted to the army (for his surprise).

He remembered when he was "training" on the booty camp and then one day doctor Erskine came to tell him of a project called Rebirth. He remembers that he was a scrawny little guy of 5'4 that weight 90 lbs and miraculously was a 6'2 height and 240 guy with just stepping on a wired chamber. He also remember his time in the army and when he met Peggy. He remembered when HYDRA wanted to rule the world with some blue cube called the Tesseract. He remembers when Bucky fell into the snow from the train up high. When after that he sacrificed himself, driving a plane into the antarctic and "stopping" HYDRA as he told Peggy he didn't know how to dance.

Then waking up 70 years later, and Nick Fury introduced him into SHIELD.

That's where everything went pitch black, his memories finished when Fury walked him back to SHIELD's New York Headquarters….

Steve gasps heavily and tries to catch his breath while "all" his memories were flowing through his brain. Breathe, Steve. Breathe... Control your mind, or else it will swell your brain and causing your own death.

So he does, he breathes heavily and controls his breathing, and racing heart. Steve gulps several times as he blinked too, since his vision was a bit blurry. He put his palms to the ground, facing the floor, as he felt big drops of sweat falling through his forehead to the floor he was kneeled at.

Bucky. That man that recognized him on the street was his friend. But then Steve frowns…. How in hell Bucky was alive ? He remembers Bucky falling from the moving train. So how's that even possible ?... Also, it still didn't clarify why he lost his memory. What was he doing that made him end in Jackville ?

Steve just had so many questions.

With a growl, Steve stood up slowly and steadily, trying to focus his vision again. He takes a deep breath and whispers to himself, "I need to find SHIELD for answers", he walks out of the garage. He doesn't even where to start looking for SHIELD (since they're a secret organization). But he'll figure out something. So slowly, he walked into his house, spotting his mother on the dining room, putting some plates on the table, preparing the meal.

"Hey, son..", she gave him a warm smile, "..I've prepared your fav -

Sarah stopped talking when she saw her son's pale and sweaty face, eyes in agony. So she quickly rushes to him and put her hands on his arms, "Stephen, are feeling okay ?", Sarah asked very worried. But instead of answering her, he shook his head and tells her,

"My name is not Stephen..", Steve looks at her with his in-pain eyes. Mrs. Rodriguez frowns as she rubs her hand on his arm

"What do you mean ?", she said. Steve slowly smiles as he now grabs her arms on his hands,

"I remember everything, mom..", he told, "..I still don't know what caused me to lose my memory though, but still", he chuckled and watched his mom's expression to sick worried to helluva happy

"Oh my God, Stephen !", Sarah squeals in happiness as she cups his face but then back her hands away, "Oh ! I'm sorry - what's your name ?", she laughed at her silliness

Steve grins at her and then proudly says, "Steven Grant Rogers"

New York city…

Bucky and Natasha were still on the coffee shop, the redhead asking questions about his experience seeing Steve. She even ordered a tea to calm her highly nerves down

"..I just hope you're right, Bucky..", Natasha's voice pleading him, "..I don't know why I'm believing you if I already know the truth", she lowered her eyes to her nervously flickering fingers tapping on the table. Barnes sighs and rolls his eyes

"You still don't believe me ? - I know it was Steve", he told for hundredth time. Natasha just closes her eyes and senses Bucky's annoyance of her 'incredulity'. And after a while, (after the annoying of his was gone and she was still looking down at her hands), the Winter Soldier sighs and starts, "So..", the redhead heard him and looks up at him, seeing a teasing smirk on his lips, "..You and Steve ?..", he kept teasing as Natasha felt her ears getting hot (and maybe her cheeks - and face - as well). Barnes saw her blushing face and chuckled softly, shaking his head and grinning, "..I knew he had a thing with redheads", he said

Romanoff ducked her head, trying to hide her furiously blushing face, "It was totally unexpected..", she managed to say casually while putting her hand to rub her neck, "..H-he and I were just partners at the beginning, and then, well...it was something more as we continue working together", the Spy pursed her lips as glancing sheepishly at her quite brother-in-law. He smirks as he nods at her, then his smirk turned out to a sad smile

"I can't wait to see his face when he sees his son..", he told Natasha, who holds his stare, "..He's gonna be thrilled", Bucky smirked again as she sadly returned the smirk, "He wasn't there when Stevie was born ?", his question totally was innocently, not knowing the sad story. The redhead sighs and shakes her head

"No..", Natasha lowered her glance, again to her hands - but now staring at her white gold wedding ring, "..Neither when I was pregnant..", she told as looking up at Barnes, who knitted his brows and his face showed quite some anger. She shoved his reaction away and continues saying, "..He left -

"Oh please don't let me he left you with the package..", he interrupted her as he straighten himself, warning at her, "..Because if that's the case, I promise you I will beat his damn punk ass down until he gets responsable from his actions", he even poked down the table with his index a finger on seriousness while telling her that. Natasha raises her eyebrows and looks at him in shock, knowing exactly that he would've beat Steve's ass if he didn't gotten responsable of his acts, (which was totally not the case), Bucky would've maybe force him to even marry her, since they come from an era that everything was totally different from nowadays. Only imagining the scene of Bucky pulling down Steve's ear and dragging him down the aisle, where she was waiting with a huge belly and wedding dress, was hilarious. She chuckles and shakes her head

"That's totally not the case, Bucky", Romanoff told, knowing that Bucky didn't knew

He frowns and knits his brows, "Then what was it ?", he asked in confusion, but as soon he saw Natasha's eyes, he understood. Seeing sorrow and emptiness on them. Barnes slowly sighs, "...He 'died' when you were pregnant", the Winter Soldier stated as he lowered his head in sadness. Natasha bit her lip as she nods, hugging herself

"He didn't even knew he was gonna be a father..", she told while seeing her ring again, "..If only I would've knew, maybe I could've -

"Hey hey hey..", he immediately told when he heard her starting blaming herself. Bucky looks at her and seeing Natasha was still looking down, "..Don't blame yourself. Whatever happened to him, it wasn't your fault", he assured as she slowly looks at him. He smiles warmly at her and says, "Steve is alive, that's what it matters now and I'm bringing him back to you and Stevie - he searched me like crazy and he quite found me. Now is my turn to look for him", Barnes' voice was determined

Natasha smiled sadly and nodded, half believing and the other half just being incredulous. She knew that Steve was dead, but having this hope was so warm on her chest.

Meanwhile. Brooklyn, NY…

"Okay okay, Steve..", Sarah said as she sits down on the table and gestures her son to take seat too, "..Slow down and calm down a little bit", she stares at Steve, who was excitedly rolling on his heels

"But I need to find SHIELD right now, so if you excuse me", he said as he began to turn around, going to exit the house, but his mother, (in motherly commanding voice), says to him before he could even turn around completely,

"I don't excuse you..", that made Steve to turn to see her serious face. Sarah crossed her arms and lifts a brow at him, "..So sit your ass down and take it easy - you just recovered all your memories ! You just can't go running into the streets, until you know which way to go !", she told while Steve was nodding the whole time

"Yes, ma'am", he said and goes to sit on the chair in front of her. And when she was about to say something, they heard the front door shut and steps coming to them

"Hey, guys !", Joseph smile-greeted his family as he dropped his keys on the table. He glanced between the blondes and sensed something was going on, so he knits his brows, "What happened ?", he asked a bit worried and moving to be next to his son seating form

Sarah sighs as she begins, "Stephe - ", she made a stop to correct herself, "Sorry, Steve here..", Mrs. Rodriguez gestures her head at Steve, "..Just had recovered his memories back", she told her husband, who widely opened his eyes and mouth in shock

"Wow ! Really, son !?', he grips on Steve's shoulder and shakes it a bit

"Yeah..", Steve said, grinning at his mother and then looking up to his father, "And I also need to go find SHIELD", Rogers told his father, who tensed at the name

"SHIELD ?..", he casually tried to sound, "..What the hell is that ?", he asked and gave a nervous glance to his wife

Sarah sighed softly and stares at him, "Joseph, he knows everything about it", she told, like in a way worry tone - which Steve noticed (not mentioning the nervous glances between them). He just discovered something they hide from him

"Wait...Did you guys knew about SHIELD and you two didn't told me ? - maybe that was a way to recover my memories faster !", he argued while seeing to his parents

"Hold on, son..", Joseph said as he goes to stand next to Sarah, facing his son's anxiously face, "..We didn't knew you used to work for SHIELD", he told as a matter of fact while putting a supporting hand on his woman's shoulder. Sarah sighs again and put a hand on top of her husband's. Steve's face instantly relaxed, knowing that his parents would never do something selfish against him or anyone

"He says he's Captain America", she blurted out

Joseph eyes widened up again, but this time he had problem to quite breathe, "What ?!", he shouted as he sees between his wife and son, who was timidly rubbing his neck, "Are you serious ?!", Mr. Rodriguez asked in shock mode

"Yeah..", Steve chuckled, but quickly turned serious, "..But dad, I need to contact SHIELD - I just saw an old friend and need some answers, and the only ones who will help me, is SHIELD", he told. Joseph and Sarah saw his determination, seeing each other, they nodded at their son.
