Within a month after the Wanda incident, Rebecca was initiated as a full-fledged member of the Avengers. Steve helped her design her own suit. Tony helped with the structure, making it incredibly strong and durable. It was similar to black widows in construction but was a dark blue. It had two thigh holsters since her gun training had been going so well. It was equipped with gloves that could be easily removed in case she chooses to use her powers.

She fell in love with the suit as soon as Steve presented it to her, ready to take on the world. Soon after that, she started to go on missions with Steve, and they became nearly inseparable after that.

Her first mission was to take down a new designer drug that was causing havoc in the UK. The drug ended up being laced with some crude version of the super serum, causing people who took too much to lose control. Steve, Natasha, and Rebecca went undercover at some clubs, a common distribution center for the drug. They were trying to track the drug down to its source. Steve and Rebecca played a couple, while Natasha played a professional party girl. Using the photostatic veil to disguise Steve and Natasha, they all blended right in, and quickly infiltrated the source, taking down the distributor, getting the drug off the streets.

She was on cloud nine after that success, with much encouragement from Steve and Natasha.

When the next two missions with Steve were just as successful, she felt the confidence in herself and her abilities skyrocket. She knew this is where she belonged, where she was meant to be. She was home, with Steve, with the team. She loved finally knowing her place in the world.


2 Months Later


Rebecca was sitting in her room, reading a book when Steve came bursting into her room without even a knock.

"Suit up, wheels up in 15 minutes." He told her. She looked at him for a second before she jumped to it, following him out.

"What is going on?" She asked. He stopped just for a moment.

"You'll find out in about 15 minutes, hurry," He said all business. She nodded to him, knowing she shouldn't use the girlfriend card right now, before going to the locker room, to get dressed for the mission. She saw Natasha there.

"Do you know what is going on?" Rebecca said in Russian, getting dressed.

"Not a clue, He'll let us know on the quinjet, but I'm guessing it must be time sensitive." She explained in English. Rebecca nodded, trusting in her team. Trusting in Steve.

They made it to the hanger to see Steve walking into the quinjet, quickly followed by Sam.

"Natasha you have the wheel," Steve said.

"Sure, where are we going?" She asked.

"Madrid," He told her. She nodded, before going to pilot the quinjet.

Sam and Rebecca sat down as the quinjet started to take off. Steve handed them both tablets.

"How good is your Spanish?" Steve asked her.

"My German is better…" She said honestly.

"How many languages do you know?" Sam asked her.

"German, Russian, English, a little Spanish, and French." She told him.

"HYDRA kept you busy," Sam said, before receiving a dirty look from Steve.

"My mother taught me them," She explained. "HYDRA just forced me to use them," She said honestly before she started to read the information she was presented. Steve smiled at her as she read, thankful she could brush off the mention of HYDRA so easily. He was proud of how much she's grown in the past few months.

"Rumlow… you got a lead on Rumlow…" Sam said, knocking Steve out of his thoughts and getting Rebecca's attention.

"Yes, I think we might have a shot at him," Steve said. Rebecca looked back at the reading over Rumlow, about how he was a HYDRA agent who had infiltrated SHIELD, before their downfalls. How he helped on project insight. How he tried to capture and kill Steve before nearly dying in the Battle at the Triskelion after fighting with Sam.

"Guess you all have some bad blood with this Rumlow…" She said to Sam and Steve, without even looking up from her tablet.

"Something like that…" Steve said. She kept reading about how he woke up in the hospital, finding out about HYDRA and SHIELD's downfall. He assaulted his nurse before escaping. Now he's been robbing banks all over Europe. She got to the end, feeling that the rest of the information was inside Steve's head.

"You have an idea of his next hit?" She asked Steve, handing him back the tablet.

"We got a reliable tip that his next target it the Banco de España," He told her

"The Bank of Spain…" Sam said. "When is he planning on hitting it," he asked.

"Tomorrow, 12:00, Madrid time."

"It is about 17:00 in New York so that would be…" She said thinking for a moment, "23:00 in Madrid. So we have 13 hours to prepare," Rebecca said.

"With 6 of them being in the quinjet," Steve said.

"So 7 hours once we hit the ground… no wonder you hurried us out." Rebecca said, grabbing her tablet back from him, typing on it.

"Any information on the bank?" She asked.

"Hill should be sending it whenever she gets the info," Steve explains. She nodded, looking at the recently received files, before noticing nothing had been received. She set an alarm on the tablet, to alert her as soon as anything was received. When she was done, she put it down and looked at Steve. He was smiling at her.

"What?"

"You and Technology. How is it you've mastered it within a few months yet I always have trouble with it…"

"It is a hard thing for the elderly to learn," She joked with a smirk. He raised an eyebrow at that. Sam stifled a laugh.

"Really, you're gonna bring age into this…"

"Tony's been giving her lessons…" They hear Natasha say over the coms. Rebecca let out a laugh. She should have known Natasha was listening in.

"Tony's not even there that much. You've spent what? A total of 2 weeks with him?" She smiled at him.

"I am a quick learner…" She said, giving him a flirty smile. They hear the alarm go off on the tablet. She quickly looked at the information, as she hears Sam muttering something about 'saved by the bell.' She gave him a quick glance. He smiled at her and she rolled her eyes.

She quickly found what she was looking for, before turning the screen holographic, showing them all the 3-D blueprints of the bank, placing it on the floor of the quinjet. Steve and Sam lean to the edge of their seats, looking at the blueprints.

"Any information on how he's going to hit it?" Sam asked.

"No, just the time and date."

"Fun," She said, grabbing Sam's tablet, typing something into it before pulling up another display, of a few blocks around the bank, placing it next to her tablet. She watched as Steve and Sam looked over both tablets, their minds racing with plans. She smiled at him. After a few minutes, he noticed it.

"What?" Steve asked.

"You and strategizing…" She told him. He rolled his eyes with a smile before looking back at the maps. She decided to give them the time to work up a plan, so she went to the cockpit and sat next to Natasha.

"I'm surprised you didn't tell him about your online chats with Stark," Natasha said as Rebecca shrugged.

"I do not tell him everything," She said softly, in Russian. Natasha smiled at her. Rebecca liked her native tongue, and she loved having a person to speak it with. Natasha obliged her.

"That surprises me since it seems like you two are inseparable," Natasha teased. Rebecca smiled at that.

"I am allowed to have a life," She said looking over the controls of the quinjet. "Still think you should teach me how to pilot this thing," Rebecca said with a smile. Natasha shook her head.

"I know you are smart, but Sam, Steve and I all have piloting experience…" Natasha said.

"And I do not?"

"Was that something HYDRA taught you?" Natasha asked. Rebecca looked at her for a second.

"No… that would have been too much of a liability for them… but I am a quick learner… you know that Nat," She begged. Natasha let out a laugh.

"Not going to happen… tonight," She said, giving Rebecca a glimmer of hope.

"I will take it," She said. "So, it is going to be my first bank robbery," She said after a while. Natasha smiled.

"Lots of firsts for you lately, but like you said, you are a quick learner. You will do fine," Natasha told her as they fell into a comfortable silence.


Rebecca was sitting at a table in the bank. She was dressed in a pantsuit, tapping on her tablet. Natasha was sitting across from her, in a wig, looking like a customer. Rebecca looked at the tablet again, looking over the security cameras, not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

"You sure about that info?" She heard Natasha whisper. Rumlow was already an hour late.

"Positive," They heard Steve say into their earpieces. He was currently in one of the back offices, out of sight.

"Maybe he made us…" Sam said from his vantage point, the roof from the building across from the bank.

"We were careful…" Steve said.

"Maybe he has an inside man…" Rebecca offered. "And we scared him off when we alerted security."

"He's kind of pissed at us, I don't think us being here would have scared him off," Natasha said honestly. Rebecca sighed, looking through the cameras again. She was feeling Steve's powers starting to taper off. She knew if anything happened, she was going to have to rely on her own strength. 'As well as the guns you stashed,' she thought with a smile. She noticed something on one of the cameras, giving it a funny look.

"You got something, Rebecca?" Natasha asked.

"Give me a second," She told Natasha as she looked at the footage again. She watched it for a moment, not sure what she was looking for but something seemed off… she swore she saw that employee go out for a quick cigarette break already. She looked up from the tablet, looking around the lobby, seeing the same employee currently at work.

"Scheisse... I think someone has tampered with the camera, back alley."

"On it," They hear Sam say. Rebecca heard the click of a gun. She saw Natasha pull her's out before she trained it on someone behind Rebecca. That was when Rebecca felt the barrel on the back of her neck.

'Shit, they had been set up,' she thought before Rumlow and 7 men, all in full tactical gear came busting in from the back of the bank. One of the men quickly trained a gun on Natasha.

Steve came in, shield out, gun trained on Rumlow. Rebecca's eyes locked on Natasha's.

"Rogers…" Rumlow said behind his mask. "Nice to see you again," He said, motioning to his men as they started to rob the bank, the one on Natasha not moving. For one second, Steve's eyes betrayed him, as he looked at Rebecca. Rumlow noticed the glance, looking over at Natasha and Rebecca.

"Worried about your girls?" Rumlow asked.

"Not really, they can take care of themselves." He said honestly. Rumlow took one step to Rebecca and Steve did the same, Rumlow noticing the anger in his eyes.

"Ohhhh," Rumlow said before they all heard a commotion from the back. Rebecca saw the signal from Natasha and she jerked to the side, out of the way of the gun, before grabbing the security guard with her bare hand around his wrist, taking his energy quickly, as well as his gun.

Natasha quickly jumped to action, fighting and then disarming the man with the gun trained on her. Steve threw his shield, catching Rumlow off guard. It knocked Rumlow back before going back to its owner. When he got his balance, Rumlow looked, seeing Steve, Rebecca, and Natasha with guns trained on him. Rumlow chuckled at that.

"What's with you and the red hair?" He asked, pointing to Rebecca and Natasha, not fazed at all by them.

"Give it up, Rumlow," Steve said.

"And why should I do that, Rogers?" Rumlow asked as the grenade rolled in beside Steve and Natasha. Natasha and Rebecca ducked for cover while Steve took his shield, covering the grenade as it explodes. Steve looks up from the explosion, seeing the men trying to escape, with duffle bags worth of money, followed by Sam and Natasha. He sees Rebecca heading for Rumlow.

She quickly caught up to Rumlow, fighting him hand to hand, trying to see a way into his armor so she could drain him. Subdue him. She saw him reach for a gun as she heard the familiar sound coming towards her. She grabbed Steve's shield, holding it in front of her as Rumlow gets a shot off. She bashes him with it before turning to block an incoming attack from the side. Steve caught up with them, attacking Rumlow while 3 of his men started to attack Rebecca. She blocked one with his shield, punching another before she heard the shot and the pain in her side. She felt the punch to her face before she hit the ground, the shield hitting the floor as she fell.

Rumlow used the momentary distraction to kick Steve in the chest before they all ran to the exit. Rebecca's hands went to her side, feeling the blood starting to pool there.

"Scheisse…" She said, knowing she would survive, but damn did it hurt. She had never been shot before…

"Rebecca!" She heard Steve say.

"I am ok… go get him," She told him. He shook his head, looking around for something to stop the bleeding.

"Nat and Sam's got it," He said. A bank employee offered his jacket and he used it to try and stop the bleeding. She grabbed it with her own hands.

"I am fine… get him…" She told him. Steve looked at her, before nodding, leaving her to go into the alleyway to find, nothing.

"Nat? Sam? Where are you?" Steve asked.

"Getting lost in the sewers. They knew what they were doing…" Sam said. Steve sighed. It was a great escape plan, neutralizing Sam's abilities.

"Keep tracking them. See if you can find anything," He said.

"You take care of her…" Natasha said. "We've got it," He smiled to himself before going back into the bank, to check on Rebecca.


They had been on the quinjet for a few hours, in silence at their defeat. Rebecca was sitting in a pair of jeans, long sleeve shirt with gloves on. Steve was sitting beside her, in a t-shirt and jeans.

"I can not believe he got away…" Rebecca said, breaking the silence. She was holding her aching side. She had gotten patched up at a local hospital before they left.

"He knew we were there… he had the advantage…" Steve said, giving Sam a look. Sam nodded before leaving them to talk, joining Natasha in the cockpit.

"You would have got him if I had not got shot…" She said. Steve sighed at that.

"Maybe...maybe not, but you were and we need to move past that," Steve said.

"I am just... not sure how I missed the gun…" She said.

"It's because it was Rumlow who shot you…" Steve said. She looked at him a little shocked. He wouldn't look her in the eyes.

"Rumlow?" she questioned. Steve nodded.

"He pulled a gun on me, and I quickly grabbed it, pushing his arm away from my body, but I think that's what he wanted me to do. He smiled at me, and pulled the trigger, shooting you instead. He played me… he played us…" Steve admitted, looking guilty.

"Hey… He is the one who shot me," She told him.

"It's still my fault," He argued.

"Why is it your fault?" She asked him.

"When he moved to you… I got angry… he saw. I let my emotions get the better of me…" He admitted. "I let my feelings for you show, and he used that against me…"

"Feelings?" She prompted. He huffed out a breath. He turned, looking into her eyes, giving her a small smile. He moved his hand to her cheek, caressing it, letting her take in his power.

'Feelings…' He said in her mind. She felt how much he cared for her. How scared he was when he saw her shot, how angry he was at Rumlow, as well as himself.

'Hey, We are human. We are not perfect.' She said, caressing his cheek with her gloved hand, pulling him into a quick but passionate kiss before they both let go.

"I do not blame you… I blame him," She told him. He nodded, pulling her in gently, as they made it back to the facility. Dr. Cho quickly looked over Rebecca, helping her heal quickly from her ordeal.
