Chapter 38

Opportunities Arise

"We'll meet again. Don't know where. Don't know when, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day. Keep smiling through, just like you always do. Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

"So will you please say hello to the folds that I know tell them I won't be long. They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go I was singing this song.

"We'll meet again. Don't know where. Don't know when, but I know we'll meet again some sunny day. Keep smiling through, just like you always do. Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.

Anna had always been partial to older music. It was primarily due to Phil ingraining it into her, but having spend so much time in the past helped instil it even more. That was, as she did her exercises from physical therapy that they instructed her to keep dong after she finished her sessions, as well as more of what she used to do to keep herself in shape, what she was listening to. Vera Lynn's voice sang out in her small quarters at Avengers Tower, as We'll Meet Again played.

Anna didn't have control of everything in her life at the moment, but she was getting a little bit back. She wasn't back to her peak condition, but she was getting there. Months of very hard work and healing finally gave Anna a very tiny sense of control. And just in time for Steve's birthday, and almost Anna's as well. Anna was going to be turning twenty, technically if one was to go by her birth date. But if you went biologically with the years she spent in the past, she'd be twenty-two.

The song ended and changed to Rosemary Clooney, George Clooney's aunt, singing I'll Be Seeing You. Anna didn't skip a beat as she continued to do her exercises.

"I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places that this hear of mine embraces all day through. In that small cafe. The park across the way. The children's carousel, the chestnut trees, the wishing well.

"I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day. In everything that's light and gay. I'll always think of you that way. I'll find you in the morning sun and when the night is new. I'll be looking at the moon, but I'll be seeing you.

"I'll be seeing you in every lovely summer's day. In everything that's light an-"

There was a knock on Anna's door, and she sat up to pause her music. Once she had done so, she made her way to the door, wiping the sweat off of her forehead with her jacket sleeve. She opened the door and smiles gently when she saw who was standing on the other side.

"Sam, what a surprise," she greeted.

"Hey, Anna, how's it going?" Sam greeted back just as friendly.

Anna and Sam hadn't gotten to know each other all too well. Him and Steve were touch and go with their mission to find Bucky, as well as their goal to help shut down the remaining Hydra facilities that were still operating globally. But she'd talked to him a little bit. He was a nice guy. Funny, and supportive. He was a good companion for Steve: alike in many ways. He needed that. Especially now.

Steve and Anna had distanced themselves a bit. There was nothing going on exactly, neither of them had done anything to anger the other, but there was a need for some space apart. Steve was desperate to keep working to find Bucky. Anna wanted that too, but as stated she needed to focus on getting herself better first before she could do anything. And really, Anna was having a bit more of an identity crisis.

Sure, Steve was apart of SHIELD, but primarily because Peggy had helped build it up. He was there because it gave him a sense of purpose. But for Anna? SHIELD had always been her purpose. She was born for SHIELD. Without it, Steve could move on and do something else, but Anna? Anna was lost. Anna could make her purpose the same as Steve: Find Bucky. But she had always dreamed of so much more for the world. Not being in the public eyes like he was with the Avengers. There were so many other things that were possible with SHIELD.

But SHIELD was gone. And so was Anna's means of making a difference.

"Oh, you know, not too bad," Anna answered. "What can I do for you?"

"There was a drop off at the front desk for you," Sam said, holding out the manila folder that he held in his hands. "Thought I'd save you a trip."

Anna smiled and took it from him. All that was written on the front of the envelope was her name in scratchy handwriting. No return address. No sender. Just her name. It was curious, and though Anna wanted to be extremely cautious about it (seeing as Yassa was still out there and she didn't know if he knew she was still alive or not), she wasn't going to look too deeply into it.

"Thanks, Sam. I appreciate it!"

"No problem, I'll see you around," Sam said, and with that, their conversation was over.

After closing the door and heading to her bed, Anna slowly opened the envelope. It wasn't boobie-trapped, and there was no white powder inside, so things were looking up from there. There were only two things inside the envelope: a lanyard that included all the information from SHIELD with an added update on her last name, and a note.

"Ask for Koenig and the new Director. Tell them Nick sent you." There was also a location, but other than that, there was no other information provided. It was clear that it was sent by Nick Fury, her former boss. Why he was sending it to her, she didn't know. SHIELD was no longer, right? There wasn't a new Director…

Unless someone was keeping it going in secret, and Fury, knowing Anna more than she ever assumed he knew (which was unnerving), knew she needed a purpose and was providing Anna with another change, a new path for her to go down.

So there was a chance for Anna to do more again under SHIELD, however they were doing things. But was it really the best idea? Anna had been to hell so many times that she should've had a timeshare, but it was home for her. It was really all she knew. But that was sad. Someone can't know only pain and lies.

But it wasn't all bad either. Anna had saved lives, made a difference. But she had also done bad things...But wasn't that something someone in any government agency such as SHIELD had to do? The CIA, FBI, anything like that had agents that probably went through things like Anna (though probably not too close to her situation as she grew up in it, and even went back in time and got married to someone that was experimented on and became the world's best assassin…)

It was a lot to process. It was to decide on.

Anna honestly didn't know what to do.

Ooooooh, the future for Anna hangs in the balance. What is she going to do? Go back to SHIELD? Stay with the Avengers? Or do something else entirely? Find out nixt time on Dragon Ball Z- Oh wait, wrong thingy. Lol

I'm kinda tempted to make a group chat thing on facebook, or some other app to talk about the movies/shows if people are interested. If not, obviously disregard this. But if you'd be interested, I think it'd be really cool. I don't have too many people to geek out about this stuff to so it would be really nice to have. If you're interested, let me know and I'll see what I can do (especially if you want to try and keep it so you still have anonymity).

Thanks to the following for their reviews on the previous chapters:

Jedi Jelsa777 - Yeah, my grandmother does too. She doesn't remember me at all anymore, and she doesn't my mother either. It seems cruel to not go and see her anymore, but she doesn't remember us, and it only confuses her more when we do. It's very hard to handle, and so emotional. Nobody should have to lose themselves like that.

zikashigaku - Let me know what you thought of the movie, either here or in a private message, I'd love to talk to you about it! I'm also talking to Jedi about it too!
