Chapter 20
And So It Goes On

Four large pizza boxes sat on Jamie's kitchen counter. She reached up and grabbed three plates, and set them on the counter next to the boxes, her little troll cell phone wedged between her ear and her shoulder. She was still using the troll phone Taylor had given her because she hadn't bought a new one yet. She had take all her numbers off her old phone and was going to get a new one, but she hadn't gotten to it yet.

Right now, she was getting ready for a get together with Steve and Sam. They were taking an easy night to recover and eat delicious (though not as good as New York) pizza. But until they arrived, Jamie was making some well overdue phone calls.

She had already tried to call Coulson and his team, to which she received no answer. She called the Brits, who did answer. She found out they managed to get to Scitech to help protect the students, and in turn Andy. She talked to Andy briefly, and he assured her he was okay. And she even talked to Johnny, who was throwing a fit, but what else was new?

Her TV played on the news as she dialed. And, of course, it had everything to do with the HYDRA and SHIELD fiasco. "Today, world leaders are scrambling for answers after the world's most advanced spy agency was crippled by a series of attacks. The President contends this is the biggest intelligence leak in world history. But what's even more disturbing the documents released from SHIELD show clear evidence of human experimentation, stockpiles of WMD, all concealed by a massive cover up. With world security at stake, officials everywhere are calling for SHIELD….

"Members of congress are calling for an investigative panel, but it's still unclear who should be held accountable. Many of its leaders have vanished, leaving SHIElD fractured and powerless."

She just ignored it though, because up next on her list was Dr. Taylor Malone. Jamie didn't even know if she'd answer, or if she was okay in the first place.

"Hey. Glad you're not dead..." Taylor said, her voice soft and not as loud or obnoxious.

"How are you, Taylor?" Jamie asked.

"As good as I can be, sore as hell. The Hub got hit pretty hard." Taylor went on to explain.

"I heard," Jamie said. "I heard we only have three SHIELD facilities under our control."

"We're even handling those with caution. We don't know how many agents might still be undercover Hydra agents."

"No, I hear you. You are okay though, right?" Jamie repressed.

"We had a few troubles out here. I'll go into detail another time. All you need to know is I'm alive and praying no one notices I helped you. Coulson looks great by the way."

"Phil's there?" Jamie asked.

"Well he was. Bumped into him briefly along with some of his team." Taylor said.

"I've been calling but haven't gotten an answer.," Jamie told her.

"Coulson is...really busy and will be for a while I bet. How about you guys, I mean everyone knows you're all alive but you know...are you guys okay."

"Well, more or less," Jamie muttered. "Got shot a couple times, so did Steve. Sam's fine. Nat got hit with one. But we'll all live."

"Sweet, we all have a collection of new battle scars. And how about not physically. Emotionally and all that bullshit."

"Well, if it tells you anything, I'm eating my feelings…" Jamie muttered.

"Well...it's better than drinking your feelings...I guess."

"I would if I could..." Jamie muttered.

"I'll drink enough for both of us!" She gave a sigh. "Trust me I'm trying"

"God, I miss alcohol," Jamie muttered, not even touching the subject of scolding her.

"Alcohol is basically my boyfriend."

"Yeah, really didn't need to know that," Jamie told her.

"I just mean that he treats me right, is almost always in my house, and I wake up with headaches thanks to him."

"You need to shut up now," Jamie said, making a face as she walked to the living room. She took the movie out of the case and popped it in. "I don't need the mental image."

"Bitch what are you imagining?! I'm talking hangovers."

"Yeah, exactly. You, drunk and with a laptop hacking who knows what," she joked.

"Meh, I've seen just about everything out there, there's no challenge to it anymore or entertainment...speaking of the internet...you read any more smut yet?"

"I am never reading anymore of that, thank you very much!" Jamie informed her.

"Oh my god so you did read some!"

"No, I didn't!"

"You so want to!"

"Am I allowed to plead the fifth?" Jamie asked.

"Not to me you're not!!" Taylor snickered.

"Okay, so I kind of want to, so what? I'm not going to. I've already perverted Steve's image in my head enough as it is," Jamie said.

Taylor was giggling on the other side of the phone. "You're a pervert, Blue, embrace it!

"I'm not a pervert," Jamie said. "I'm horny. It's been two years!"

"...damn it, why did you have to remind me...we both need to get laid...is Falcon single?"

"As far as I know," Jamie laughed. "Though, I'll say this, not sure if Sam could handle the mysteries of Dr. Taylor Malone."

"Who could?" Taylor chuckled.

"Don't know," Jamie said. "But we'll find someone." There was a knock at her door and she turned to go answer it. "Hey, I've gotta go, Tay, but if you need anything, give me a call, okay? I'll be in touch soon."

"Kay, love you Blue. all you later!"

Jamie opened the door and stepped aside for Steve and Sam to come in. "Come on in guys, the pizza's getting cold…"

Cemeteries always gave her the earliest feeling. She hated staring at the tomb stones. The bodies of loved ones under you. And you were supposed to go visit them and pay respects, but that stone never made her feel like they were really there. It was cold. Doing things that reminded her of the dearly passed always made her feel better than going to the grave.

Steve, Sam, and Jamie were all standing in front of Fury's empty grave. The grace read, "Col. Nicholas J. Fury. The Path of the righteous man…" They were supposed to meet with him there, after everybody had been checked out of the hospital. Everybody was a lot better. Jamie's wounds were mostly healed, nothing to really worry about anymore. She could move around as freely as she wanted. Steve was already completely healed up. And Sam hadn't really gotten anything serious at all, so everybody was doing pretty good.

Fury walked up behind them, joining the group. He was wearing a purplish-maroon hoodie with the hood up, and a black leather jacket over it. His signature eyepatch had been abandoned and replaced with a dark pair of sunglasses. "So, you've experienced this sort of thing before," Fury said.

"You get used to it," Steve told him.

"We've been data mining HYDRA's files," Fury said, getting back to business, of course. "Looks like a lot of rats didn't go down with the ship. I'm headed to Europe tonight. Wanted to ask if you'd come."

"There's something I got to do first," Steve said.

"How about you, Wilson? Could use a man with your abilities," Fury pressed.

"I'm more of a soldier then a spy," Sam answered.

"I don't even have to ask you," Fury said, looking at Jamie.

She smirked and chuckled, shaking her head. "No, you already know my answer."

"All right then," Fury muttered, glancing back at his grave. He offered his good hand to Sam to shake, which he took, and then did the same to Steve. "Anybody asks for me, tell them they can find me right here." He let go of Steve's hand and turned to Jamie, offering her one as well.

Jamie just rolled her eyes and stepped forward, wrapping her arms around his neck carefully. She didn't want to hurt his arm. Fury and her had their differences, but they had worked together enough for her to know that he did everything that he's ever done to protect people. And he had done nothing more than try and help her, though he did use her a bit. But again, that came down to protecting other.

Before pulling back, Jamie kissed his cheek. "Take care," Jamie said. "And if you need anything, you know how to contact us."

"I'll keep that in mind," he told her. He nodded before leaving them one last time.

"You should be honored," another voice said, joining them. They all turned their heads to the right, seeing Nat make her way over to them. "That's about a close as he gets to saying thank you."

Jamie stayed with Sam as Steve walked over to Nat. "Not going with him?" He asked.

"No," she chuckled.

"Not staying here," he went on.

"Nah, I blew all my covers. I got to go figure out a new one," she admitted.

"That might take a while," Steve said.

"I'm counting on it," she said, smirking. "That thing you asked for, I called in a few favors from Kiev." She handed him a folder with whatever h wanted. "Will you do me a favor? Do that thing we talked about. Don't wait too long."

"I don't know, you sure I'm her type?" He joked smirkingly.

Type? She's still trying to fix him up? Jamie thought, biting her lip. I'm going to kill her.

"Well, she's your type. She's nice," Natasha said. She moved in, placing a friendly kiss on his cheek. She leaned around Steve and gave Jamie a wink before turning around and starting her walk away. "Be careful, Steve. You might not want to pull on that thread."

Once she was gone, Sam and Jamie joined him. Over his shoulder they could see the file was everything on Bucky. And it was fairly obvious that Steve wasn't going to let Bucky come to him. He was going after Bucky. And he wasn't going to stop until he found him.

"You're going after him," Sam stated.

"You don't have to come with me," Steve said.

"I know," Sam said.

"Of course I do, who else is going to keep your ass out of trouble?" Jamie said, nudging his side.

"When do we start?" Sam asked.

So that concludes the movie and the beginning of the filler chapter arch that I have in mind! I've got two in particular that I've got in mind, one much shorter than the other, but I know you'll really be excited for one...probably a little pissed at me for the other, but i know it's going to be good! Hope you guys enjoyed the movie chapters and look forward to more to come!

Again, don't forget to go take the poll!

Thanks go to the following fir their reviews on the previous chapter:

Jo- Thank you! We will take that into consideration. I'm glad she fit in! Next chapter was a bit iffy too, but it starts to get better because most of the stuff to come is original arcs.

dleshae- StillDoll13 and I are working on some test scenes to see how they work, as well as the other characters to before we finalize who she ends up with, or dates at some part for a period of time.

Jedi Jelsa777- Oh trust me, I've got 4 more chapters done after this one, as well as more to come so you'll be fine!

Queen of Erebor- Bucky will be in the story, I promise! There are just some transitional chapters that need to come first.

KnowInsight- Of course Jamie finds trouble! It's what she does. You'll see Taylor next chapter, I assure you. You'll find out what her fate is then.

CJ/OddBall- Yes, yes she will. Technically she means more to him now too...he's just using the same excuses Jamie is as to why he's not asking her out. Yes, creepy stalker guy...there's a lot to come from him. He's a lot of what happens between the two movies: Cap 2 and A2. That and something else that brings Agents of SHIELD into the picture but...not spoiling as to why...

seasidewriter1- I'm so glad you liked it. I was so worried about how she would fit. And for me, my busy time is coming up soon. Last week, this week and next are going to kill me...and Finals aren't until the second week of May! Uh, kill me now!
