He found her drawing in her old sketchbook in Central Park. For the 150th time she was attempting to draw her late and loyal best friend Melly with Bucky but no matter what she couldn't get Bucky's features right even when she practised on scrap papers that she crumbled up. Frustrated she threw the crumpled piece of scrap paper as it hit Coulson.

"Sorry Coulson."

"You weren't answering your cell phone." He replied, "I asked favors to track down you're last known location before you're turned it off."

"It's supposed to be my vacation remember?" She said, as Coulson sat down admiring her sketch book.

"Still working on that Portrait of Melly and Bucky eh?"

"I can never get it right Phil." She said with a sigh, "No matter how many times I've seen his picture and the old videos of him and Steve Rogers I still can't grasp it... I haven't been able to draw like I did since She died..."

"It was supposed to be her birthday present right?"

"Yeah."

"You know I think I might know someone who could help."

"I doubt that."

"Wanna Bet?"

"No... But I'll meet that person anyway."

"He's actually near Stark Tower having a cup of coffee."

Shannon sighed, "Don't tell me this is a blind date?"

"Not exactly, but I think you need to see him more than I do." He said as Shannon looked at her godfather... He was giddy... Like the day when he saw her get her shield from the Wakandan King. Shannon's blonde brow rose, she remembered two weeks ago there was several rumours buzzing around about a man found alive... Who had been frozen, lived and kicked the hell out of several agents... Most of which she didn't like, coincidently, whoever the guy was she already liked him.

"Is this anything to do with the rumours going on my day off two weeks ago?"

"Yes." He said grinning.

"Fine I'll go," she groaned, shaking her head.

He dropped her off at the Cafe as a blue eyed blonde haired man saw her order a coffee and sit down. He was looking at a file as he saw who she was... Shannon Carter... She had darker blue eyes, and very curly long blonde hair... Totally different than Agent Peggy Carter but she did possess the same spirit of the woman as the man looked back to her file. She had a similar story to him yet slightly different. He saw that her group was temporarily disbanded and that she hasn't accepted or refused membership to the Avengers Initiative. Fury asked him to talk to read her file first and talk to her.

Shannon looked for a seat as she saw agents from work taking up most of the cafe's seats. 'Coulson,' Thought Shannon, 'you really want to make this tough for me now do you?'

"Ma'am er you could take my table," Said a Man's voice as she looked into the Blue eyes of Captain Steve Rogers. Shannon was stunned, as her inner Melly said 'You know how celebrities are they want to be treated as equals. And don't go all out fan-girl mode because that's just as embarrassing for both you and the celebrity.' Knowing that was how she wanted to be treated like as well.

"Um ah okay," she stuttered, "Thank you."

"Ma'am." Said Captain Rogers as he offered Shannon his chair.

"Ah... Thanks again." She said as she managed to say, "Um care to join me for a drawing session?"

He smiled, "Sure I don't see why not."

"I'm trying my best not to pinch myself."

"I see that." Captain Rogers said, "This team that you and I are being recruited for."

"The Avengers?" Shannon spoke, "I've was one of the first people Fury chatted to saying he needed a well balanced team of both men and women."

"You and Black Widow are the only ones on that list so far."

Shannon was quiet, "Really?"

"Really." He said, "You've read the reports of my last mission."

"About the Tesseract, yes Sir."

"And before you came back to SHIELD you fought Sinthea Schmidt the Daughter of the Red Skull."

"Yes sir I did but it costed both my first love and my best friend's lives."

"Here's how I see it, you won't be putting your loved ones or you're best friends in lines of danger this time. It'll be just you, Me and the rest of them. So will you honor the Carter legacy and help me finish what I started?"

"It would be my honour sir." Shannon managed to say.

As they heard Coulson yelling out "YES!"

Shannon finally laughed, "That would be my godfather Agent Phil Coulson."

"Yeah he's our ride to Shield HQ apparently."

Shannon started thinking, as she gotten an idea where they were headed to.

"I thought the Super soldier project ended with Banner." Said Steve on a quinjet as Shannon was overlooking her files, now that she finally said yes thanks to Captain America.

"Well it was the Canucks that took it further using an already existing serum that was used to save premature infants, we learned from our mistakes but the guy who developed it died so we don't know what was used to make it completely." She explained, "All I know that serum was used to save my best friend's life since she was a premature infant. We both had a few health problems growing up, but we both fought through in our own way."

"Melanippe Johansen." Steve said as he looked at her file again.

"Melly, we called her Melly." Shannon spoke, "Both she and Cartier died as heroes in separate missions in the same month."

"How about the rest of your friends?"

"Married with children. Black Widow has been trying to set me up with plenty of guys for the past few months err year actually. You however have been the talk of the town ever since they found you. Of course I didn't believe it until I saw you Sir."

"I wouldn't be surprised honestly. But please call me Steve." He said.

"Shannon." She spoke as he smiled at her, as Coulson watched the two star spangled heroes smile at one another then turned to the cockpit to watch the view.
