As time goes on, Steve, Bucky and I become great friends. Finishing high school as one of the only girl, I was able to get a job. I quickly got a job working under Howard Stark, his security needed a couple months off due to a family emergency and I was hired immediately. The job was simple enough, don't let anything get stolen. Simple.

Steve and Bucky have always wanted to fight in the military ever since I've met them. In person I cheer for them, but mentally I wish they would not. Over the past four years, the three of us have grown quite close. Bucky and Steve treat me like a little sister due to them being 20 and me looking 17, I wish I could grow older. I return the gesture by treating them like my brothers. In fact, I feel closer to them then how I felt towards James and Victor. They feel like my real, biological brothers to me, especially Steve.

"Hey Raven," Peggy calls as she enters the Carter's little house.

"Hey Peggy," I respond as I leave the bathroom.

"You're heading to work?"

"Yes, I don't want to be late for the first shift."

Peggy nods as I slip on some black shoes. As usual, I hate my uniform. A dark grey top covered by a light grey jacket, and a black skirt. Completing the uniform was a light grey hat, with a badge on the front that read 'STARK'. Ever since I ran away with James, I've loathed wearing skirts.

"Raven," Peggy breaks the silence, "do you know if you meet him?"

I stop, "no I don't. Why you may ask?"

"I hear he's a bit of a flirt in person."

I roll my eyes, "don't worry Peg," I begin as I stand tall again. "I've got an eye for someone else."

Peggy grabs my wrist the moment I finish the sentence, "who?"

"First, holy Peg, you are strong. Second, I'm not telling you."

"Raven," Peggy wines with a smirk on her face, "tell me."

"No,"

"I'll guess,"

I smirk, "go right ahead."

"Eric Wheeler?"

"No,"

"Kyle Lappin?"

"No."

"Slade Wilson?"

"NO!" 'Wrong universe,' a voice in my head states.

"Oh I know, Steve Rogers."

My face goes a shade of pink, "n-n-no."

"I knew it!" Peggy cries out. I turn a shade of red as the blood rushes to my face.

I turn to her, lightly pinning her to the kitchen wall with my arms, "I swear if you tell anyone..."

"Relax Raven," Peggy chuckles as I set her down and grab my keys, "I'll keep this a secret." I sigh; I know Peggy's telling the truth, she's fiddling with her sleeve.

"Bye Peggy," I say as I open the door and leave."

I fiddle with the light as I walk around the building. It is the early hours of morning and absolutely nothing has happened. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy no one has tried to break in on my first night, but I was hoping for maybe a little more than just walking around shining a really dim "flashlight."

The guy on the phone, who called himself Phillip, left me a message telling me what to do and what to expect. Pretty much if a thief enters the area, I hand him his butt and tell him where the front door is. Pretty boring, but it's a job.

I begin to sing a tune to myself that I've made up as I walk around the inventions and blueprints. It's not much, but I need to stay awake, "da da dum dum dum, de do dum, da da dum dum dum de de do dum. Dum dum dum de de do dum, dad a dum dum dum de de do dum."

Suddenly I hear banging on the floor below me. Thinking it might just be something falling over; I make my way down the stairs.

Little do I know what is waiting for me.
