A.N. Thank you guys for the reviews! This chapter is all about Phil and the little plot hole from the last chapter and the next chapter is the wedding! Enjoy!

Morning,

"It is the wedding of the century Captain America, Steve Rogers and Kida Stark are engaged." The anchorwoman said "We've received word from Ms. Potts herself that the captain proposed last night and the two Avengers are now planning for the big day."

"I'm sad to report that Steve Rogers is officially taken." The talk show host said

"The details about the wedding are unknown but some believe that the wedding may be held in Asgard, home of Kida and her fellow Avenger Thor." A reporter said. "And designers are practically lining up for a chance to have Kida Stark wear their dress."

At that point I turned the TV off, I poured myself a cup of coffee and my mom walked in. She carried two large binders with her.

"Hey sweetie how are you?"

"I'm alright, I can't turn on the TV without seeing my face on it." I said "Reminds me of the old days."

"Well we got a lot of work to do, I have some bridesmaid dresses you might like and floral arrangements."

She handed me a massive binder and I looked through some random pages, pretty soon all the flower bouquets started to look similar. I raised my head up when I heard the front door slam shut, I looked up and I saw Steve.

"Hey Steve is everything ok?" My mom asked

"Pepper I need to have a few words with Kida, in private."

"Alright"

When she left he looked back at me with an angry look on his face, I was taken back. This was the first time I've seen him so angry.

"What's wrong?"

"I was just with Thor, planning the bachelor party when he told me you never visited them." He said "So where were you?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"You lied to me, you are just like your dad sometimes." He said "I made a promise to you when I proposed that I will never keep a secret from you. Why lie to me?"

"Because he's alive."

"Who?"

"Phil."

"Kida he died years ago, you saw what happened. And I saw his body, he's gone."

"Fury used my blood to make a miracle cure he planned to use it in case one of the team members was killed, and he gave me coordinates to find him." I said "I saw Phil with my own eyes, he's alive."

"Why would Fury keep it a secret then?"

"He said the team needed the push." I explained "Sitwell told me before he died and while we were in the hospital Fury gave me the coordinates to find him."

"So you've been keeping this from me since SHIELD was compromised?"

"I didn't tell you before because I didn't have proof, I didn't want to raise your hopes up."

"This is crazy" He turned away and ran his hand through his hair. "That's impossible"

"People said alien life was impossible, that gods didn't exist, you of all people should know that not all things are impossible."

"But this is bringing someone back from the dead."

"I can prove it, we'll take the jet and I'll show you myself." I said "I'm not lying to you."

"Kida, I don't want any more secrets between us." He said

"I know I'm sorry I lied, I knew Phil's death was a touchy subject and you were so upset about Bucky I didn't want to open up any old scars."

He sighed and pulled me into a hug, we decided to bring Phil to New York and tell the team. Pepper walked back in and the three of us started to make the wedding arrangements. Mom just kept going on and on about every miniscule detail to make it 'the most perfect wedding in history'. When she finally left I felt exhausted by listening for her for so long.

Meanwhile,

Thor threw the doors open and walked with a huge smile on his face, Odin raised his head and sat down on the throne.

"You seem very happy today my son, do you carry good news from Midgard?" He asked

"I do Father, and I know you're going to love it." He said "Kida is engaged."

"Engaged? To who?"

"A friend named Steve Rogers, he's a good man and a great warrior. He is most worthy for Kida's hand in marriage."

Thor noticed that Odin appeared more stunned and shocked than happy. Odin turned his eyes away for a moment then smiled.

"If this is the man she truly loves, then tell her they have my blessing." He stood up and walked down the steps.

"Father I was hoping the wedding could take place here in the palace." Thor said "Just like you and mother did, and we'll have the ceremony here in the ballroom."

"If Kida wishes to have the wedding here then she can, I only want to make her happy." He patted his son on the shoulder and walked away.

"Father is everything alright?"

"Yes I'm just tired, a foe you'll face when you become an old man too."

Odin walked down the halls to his chamber, the magic façade fell and Loki sat down on the large couch. His face resting in his hands, the woman he loved for centuries is now engaged to a mortal. And not just any mortal, the captain who had defeated him years ago. He used his heroic charm to woo Kida away from him. Rage boiled in his blood and he flipped a table over in anger. He felt her lips kiss him goodbye as he pretended to be dead and he saw her cries as he faked his death. He knew she cared about him the same way he cared for her. He knew deep down she still loved him.

But he also remembered the way she used to think of him, as a monster. She hated him because he hurt her. She's moved on, and she's happy with him. He could give her anything in the universe, make her queen. But Rogers could give her the happiness she deserved, he had to swallow his pride and jealousy because he didn't matter. Only she mattered.

Earth,

Steve and I invited the team over to watch the football game and enjoy a BBQ dinner. While Steve stood on the patio with my dad on the grill he turned to me and nodded his head. I walked back to the guest bedroom where Phil had been hiding for the past hour, He paced back and forth and cracked his knuckles.

"Are you ready?"

"I feel nervous, I haven't been nervous since high school."

"I'll be right back."

When I walked back in the living room the team was circled around the TV, I grabbed the remote and paused the game. Everyone moaned and complained while I stood in front of the TV.

"What's the deal Kida?" Clint asked

"Do you have an announcement?" My dad asked and I nodded my head,

"You're pregnant!" Natasha said, my dad's smile dropped but I shook my head no.

"There is something I really need to tell you, all of you. While I was with Steve and Natasha in D.C. former Agent Sitwell told me about a classified SHIELD project. Called Project Tahiti, and while Steve and I were in the hospital Fury confirmed this to me before he disappeared."

"Why are you telling us this?" Bruce asked

"Because it involves a close friend we lost, but I think it'll be better if you guys see for yourselves."

I raised my hand and they all turned around, where Phil was standing with Steve next to him. My dad's glass of whiskey fell to the floor and the glass shattered. Thor stood up and walked toward Phil, everyone slowly did the same.

"Son of Coul?" Thor said "Is that you?"

"Yeah, it's good to see you big guy." Phil smiled, Thor smiled too and pulled Phil into a bone crushing hug.

"I cannot believe my eyes, you are alive."

"Phil?"

"Hello Romanoff" When Natasha walked up to him she threw her signature right hook and knocked him to the ground. "I probably deserve that."

"You were dead, we saw your body on the slab." She said "You had no pulse, no brain activity."

"How is this possible?" Bruce asked

"Fury created a back-up, something to use in the case of a fallen Avenger and Fury decided to use it on me."

"What was this back-up?" My dad asked

"It was a mixture of my DNA and some alien DNA SHIELD had discovered a few years before." I answered "It brought him back."

"And we decided to tell you guys now so you wouldn't be so surprised at the wedding." Steve said

My dad stepped up and pulled Phil into a hug, Phil returned the gesture and my dad decided to make him a drink. Clint said nothing to Phil and just hugged his old friend, I sat down next to Steve on the couch. I'm getting married to the man I love and I have my friend back. Even though SHIELD is gone I still have my family, the Avengers.
