A.N. Hey everyone I'm sorry for the late update I'm struggling with a little bit of writer's block and stress from starting my senior year of high school. But I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

The next day, Avengers Tower

I woke up in my bed with something warm next to me, I looked to my right and saw Steve asleep. The sunlight shined through the white curtains leaving the room in a warm glow. I moved my hand and grabbed his hand. He woke up and I smiled.

"Good morning handsome. How long have you been here?"

"All night" I tried to sit up but felt a strange burn.

"Don't get up, doctor's orders." He sat up and held my hand. "You got a broken rib in there."

"Just one?"

"Thank god there wasn't more." He reached up and brushed the hair out of my face. "Do you want some breakfast?"

"That sounds great"

"I'll go get it"

"What no you don't have to serve it to me." I said

"No I want to." He smiled and disappeared down the hallway.

While he was gone I changed into a dark grey tank top and black shorts. I walked out and saw Natasha standing up in the balcony above the living room. When I walked closer to her she had a stern look on her face.

"Nat, is everything ok?"

"Yeah"

"You're lying"

"I'm finally rubbing off on you" She smirked as she looked down. "It's complicated Kida you're too young to understand."

"Try me" I crossed my arms and leaned against the railing.

"Kida I'm worried about you, because I care, you gave me something I can never repay you for." She said in a serious tone.

"I'm very confused right now."

"Kida when I was your age I-"

"Kida you're supposed to be in bed." He said "Breakfast is ready."

"Team meeting" My dad yelled as he walked across the living room, we all walked up to the lab with Steve carefully watching me. "Ok Bruce and I have been going through all the files on SHIELD that could lead us to the man with the metal arm."

"And?" Steve said

"There's nothing" Bruce answered "no one knows anything about this guy."

"Not exactly" Clint said

"Do you know something?" I asked

"No Nat does,"

"Nat" I repeated

"It was years ago, back when you were just a baby."

"Wait" I said "the ambush? He was there?"

"What ambush?" My dad asked

"When Kida was a baby, Barton and I took care of her. I was taking her to see Barton, we were just a few miles away when he attacked the caravan. Our car flipped over the road into a creek, I was able to get out with Kida and ran. Before Barton arrived he tried to shoot Kida through me." She lifted up her shirt and revealed a bullet wound on her lower side. "Kida was unharmed, but the man disappeared. I haven't seen him since."

"Why wasn't I told about this?" My dad asked

"It wasn't relevant until now." Clint replied

"Why did he wait so long?" Steve asked

"That's because after that we took Kida to the orphanage and that's where she hid until you adopted her a few years later." Clint answered

"Well what do we do now?" Bruce asked "How do we stop a guy who can vanish?"

"We can't" Natasha mumbled

"Well he might know where you live." Steve said to me. "Everyone does, so what if you just stay somewhere else for a little while."

"Where?"

"What about my apartment?"

"Do you want to run that by me Rogers?" My dad asked

"Kida could stay with me at my apartment." Steve repeated

"She's perfectly safe here." My dad said

"This guy almost took her from your home," Steve's voice escalated "if he could do it once in California he could do it again in New York."

"It's one thing that I'm letting you date my daughter but there is no way in hell that I will let you take her from me after she just came back."

"How about I make this decision?" I stepped between them and pushed them away. "How about I stay here with the team and Steve? That way we're all happy."

"Fine" Steve said

"Fine" My dad repeated

They both turned and walked off, that night my dad stayed up in the lab and Steve stayed in the gym. Both were working out their frustrations.

"Hey Natasha" I ran up to her as she walked to her room. "What where you going to tell me earlier?"

"I'll tell you later."

She smirked and closed her door, I sighed and walked into the kitchen for late night snacks. When everyone fell asleep I waited for Steve in the living room. When he saw me he walked over to the couch and sat next to me.

"How are you feeling?" He asked

"Fine"

"You don't sound fine." He replied "Do you need something?"

"No it's just…I'm worried."

"About what?"

"Everything is changing so fast, one day everything is fine and the next one of us is on the brink of death and you and my dad are at each other's throats." Steve moved closer and pulled me into a hug.

"Kida I know your dad and I don't get along very well, but I promise I won't let things escalate."

"Thanks Steve" I moved my head up and kissed his cheek.

"It's late, time for bed." In one quick motion he wrapped his arm under my knees and carried me to my room. I smiled and gave him a quick kiss as he closed the door behind him with his foot.

Morning,

I woke up the next morning with a giant arm around me, I gave Steve a kiss on the cheek before grabbing us some coffee. When I returned with two coffee mugs Steve woke up.

"That coffee smells good." He mumbled, I sat on my edge of the bed and handed him his drink.

"So what do you want to do today?" I asked

"Stay in this bed for a few more hours."

"I know something we can do." I grabbed my TV remote and turned it on.

"What are you doing?"

"We are going to binge watch some TV shows and movies to catch you up on the modern world. Starting with Star Wars."

We spent the majority of the day watching shows and movies and cuddling on the bed. When Return of the Jedi was almost over I felt a warm kiss on my cheek.

"What was that for?" I asked

"Because…" He paused when I looked up at him "I think I'm falling in love with you."

I was so shocked by his words, it was clear in my face because Steve looked worried too.

"You do?"

"Yes"

"Steve…" A little smile grew from my lips. "I love you too."

One month later,

After a month free of the Winter Soldier the team lowered their guard. Clint went on a few missions while Steve and Natasha went back to D.C. I taught Steve how to text so we could stay in contact. I spent most of my time as my dad's assistant in the lab with Bruce. Until I was assigned another mission by Fury.

"You want me to go undercover as a high school student?" I asked

"Yes"

"Why do I need to get all '21 Jump Street' for?" I stood in my room, I stared up at the large screen that showed Fury's face.

"Because there is possible candidate for the Avengers."

"Who?"

"We don't know who he is, he's known as Spiderman in the news."

"You want Spiderman to join the team, why?"

"He shows some promising talent, I will send you a device that will change your appearance and a file containing all the information you need." He said "There's a student at this high school named Peter Parker. He's a photographer who is able to get close to Spiderman for a good shot, so watch him for a while and find Spiderman."

"Yes sir,"

I turned the screen off and did my research on Spiderman, after reading a few articles and seeing videos from Youtube I understood why he would interest Fury. I got the package from Fury and smirked at the image of Spiderman on my tablet screen.

"This is going to be interesting."
