A/N: Please read and review!


Steve met with Sharon Carter, the niece of Peggy Carter. She had a file with her, and she knew what she wanted to speak to him about. She had to be the one to tell him about what her aunt had done over the years since he was declared killed in action. That was not something he could ever look forward to.

"I know this is going to be painful for you," Sharon said to him when he sat across from her.

He let out a deep breath and close his eyes for a moment. "I'll have to learn sooner or later."

Sharon nodded back at him. "Of course." She opened the file. "Let's get started."


In the years following the war, Peggy was able to create an organization for the world after HYDRA, knowing that the world was going to change. S.H.I.E.L.D. After that, she had met, and later married, a man named Peter Kane. He had served in the Army during the war, and he was one of the men Steve had saved from that first HYDRA camp. Peter Kane was a rich man, but he was a kind soul. They had two children, a boy and a girl.

The son, Phillip Kane, became a lawyer, and he was heavily involved with the Civil Rights movement in the Sixties. He had one daughter, Kathy Kane, who took after her grandmother in so many ways. She joined the Army for a period of time before being a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent for an even shorter time. That all ended when she married and had a daughter, Bette Davis. She helped her father with his law practice while sharing custody of her daughter with her ex-husband. Bette Davis had recently started college and was a tennis prodigy, and her parents had to be on good terms for her sake, even with Kathy Kane preferring other women to men.

The daughter, Martha Kane, had been heavily involved in the Civil Rights Movement, like her brother, and she was heavily involved in the Women's Rights Movement. When she was older, she worked to help make her city, Gotham, really close to New York City, better, and that was how she had met a doctor and businessman named Thomas Wayne. He came from a wealthy and well-established family of Gotham, but like her father, he was a kind and caring soul. They married and had a son named Bruce. When their son was ten, they were coming home from a movie one night, and a senseless act of violence caused Thomas and Martha Wayne to be gunned down, leaving their son to witness the whole thing.

That case was never solved.

Bruce Wayne grew up to be like his parents, and when he witnessed the deaths of an acrobat family, leaving only their son, Dick Grayson, alive after having their deaths, he took in the boy and raised him as his own. Around that same period of time, his own blood daughter, one he never knew about when she was born, came into his life after her mother was killed.

Helena Wayne.


"Helena Wayne?" He asked Sharon. He thought back to the young woman who had caught attention back at the gym to the young woman who had caught his attention back at the gym.

"Yeah," Sharon said. She closed the file, quirking up an eyebrow back at him. "She met you?"

"Gave me her card," Steve said to her.

Sharon did not seem too surprised about that sort of thing. "She does that."

They spoke a little bit about Peggy before he left Sharon. He spent more time thinking about what he heard about Peggy and what her life had been like after the war. She had appeared to be very happy with how her life had been, and even though it had pained him, he was happy for her. Happy that she was happy.

Something had caused him to stop walking to look around him, and he could see Helena Wayne was out there with a couple of young women. She was clearly spending time with her friends. That was why Steve found himself walking towards them. He could feel himself being pulled towards Helena.

"We need to talk, Miss Wayne," he said to her, causing her to look at him.

"You can call me Helena," she said to him, and she looked to her friends and made a hand gesture to tell them what she was going to do, and they nodded back at her. "What did you want to talk about?"

"I talked to a cousin of yours," Steve said to her. "About your great-grandmother."

She knew who he was talking about and why he would have had a problem with her. Helena had been wearing a look of understanding.

"You needed to learn this about yourself," she said to him. "You wouldn't have believed me if I did."

"It would've eventually proven you right," Steve said to her.

She appeared to be thoughtful over that. "Maybe. . .or. . ." Her bright blue eyes looked directly into his, trying to get him to understand her. "Not a very good thing to hear, Captain. I'm sorry to hear that you were in a frozen time capsule. Hope you get used to the world's that's completely different from what you're used to. Oh. . .remember your girl? Yeah. . .I'm her great-granddaughter. Let's have lunch sometime."

Steve grimaced at that. "There's no way to tell that to anyone."

She nodded. "No. There's not. What Sharon did was probably the better option."

"Then why did you reach out to me?" He asked her.

"Don't hole yourself away from the world," Helena said to him before she walked back towards her friends. "Make friends. It'll help your transition to this new era."

"You didn't exactly answer my question, Miss Wayne," Steve said to her.

She looked back at him over her shoulder, wearing a playful smile as she winked back at him.
