Then the battle was over, all of them were exhausted and munching on their orders of Shawarma. It wasn't half bad, being that it was both her's and Steve's first time trying it as Steve sat right beside her.

"You did great Lady Shannon," Said Thor breaking the silence finally, "You are a mighty fine warrior woman."

"Ah thanks Thor." You say, "Nice work with giving the Nuke to up Mothership's butt Stork."

Everyone laughs.

"It's Stark and good job on making that joke Ms Capsicle." Said Tony.

"Really Tony? Awe dang it I wish I had a better comeback for that." She said. If Melly by my side she would have thought of something much better than that.

"Don't worry you'll figure something out." Said Steve, smiling at her, "Hey ah Shannon can I talk to you later?"

"Sure."

"Oh please, just Kiss her you moron." said Tony.

"Stark!" They both called out together.

"Yay, you got my last name right Miss Capsicle."

"Great, he's never going to let us get away with it is he?"

"I'd wouldn't be surprised." said Clint Barton/Hawkeye.

She sighed as you guys went back to the Helicarrier to freshen up then go back to Central Park to see Thor and Loki return home to Asgard with the Tesseract.

"So ah Shannon you live near by eh?"

"Yeah," she replied.

"Are you doing anything later?"

"This was supposed to be my week off actually." Shannon admitted.

"Can you show me around, I'd like to see what had changed since I've been here."

Without hesitating she replied, "Sure, but I'm going to need a ride home first, since Coulson was my ride to work originally, and Natasha already left so..."

"You think that was a hint?" Steve jokes as he escorted her to his motorcycle.

"You're guess is as good as mine." She chuckled.

Shannon and Steve went around New York as they visited areas that Steve remembered back in the day, as Shannon explained what she could to him of what happened until now.

"You know Shannon you should be a tour guide." He spoke when they arrived at her apartment.

"Maybe when I retire." She joked getting off his bike, "The serum slows the ageing process. I have more time than than most people."

"I lost a lot of time."

"And now you have a second chance."

"Nice apartment."

"Thank you," She said, "This place was built in the 1960's during the Cold War area."

"The Cold War? What was that about?"

"In rough terms Russia and America were at each other's throats, competing for better nuclear bombs, the race to go to space and the moon and so on. Just a battle egos clashing more like."

"That sounds scary."

"It was, the Cuban Missile Crisis was just as Hairy too, but as time went by the paranoia subsided. That's almost how things were with the War on Terrorism too but there were so many conspiracy stories linked to it no one is sure which was truth or fiction because even the evidence was near convincing."

"I see... Oh right I almost forgot, here." He said as he gives her back her sketchbook that she forgot that gave to Steve after they first met. "Take a look at the last few pages."

She does so as she sees the last page is her drawing of Melly with Steve's drawing of Bucky on the same page. Bucky holding Melly close to him as she has the ring that her Great Aunt wore on.

"I asked Coulson if he had a photo of the ring so I can add that."

"Steve this is so sweet of you thank you."

"It was Coulson's idea."

"Fury is planning his funeral... I'm going to miss him."

"It's never easy seeing someone you known all your life go before your eyes like that."

"He was doing what he believed in, and he believed in us." Shannon spoke as she tried not to cry, "I hate crying."

Steve hugged Shannon, "Shannon, it's going to be okay."

Shannon took off Melly's ring as she gave it to him, "Now you have something to remind you of Bucky."

"Thanks Shannon but Melly's family gave it to you and honestly all I'd like a copy of the drawing we did together... And since I had been out of the ice for about 2 months now, this world you live in still scares the crap out of me. I need your help this time."

"Consider it done Captain."

"Friends? I'm not ready to jump into a relationship right now."

"I don't see why not." knowing she wasn't exactly ready either... Or so that's what she thought originally.

During events of Winter Soldier 2014

Shannon and Steve got transferred to Washington DC. Peggy's condition was doing alright as Shannon decided to go and see Peggy that day.

"Shannon dear how are you sweetheart." Said Peggy.

"I'm doing great Aunt Peggy."

"I'm doing fine, how about you?"

"Oh you know me fine one hour terrible the next perhaps." She replied, "I hate being in this bed half the time, but my legs aren't as good as they used to be."

"I know Aunt Peggy."

"How's Steve and the Avengers?"

"Their good, I live in the same building with Steve with Kate remember."

"Oh right, had you found the right partner?"

"No... Most guys doesn't appreciate me like everyone else does."

"Oh Shannon, I didn't think that it would get even harder for you to find a man that is you're equal to you. Have you seen the Captain America exhibit at the Smithsonian?"

"There's an exhibit on me and my gang there too you know that?"

Peggy laughed, "I know I just figured a trip to Memory lane won't hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if Steve be there too."

"Aunt Peggy are you trying to me the hint or something?"

She laughed, "who knows child."

"Jee thank you Aunt Peggy." She muttered sarcastically for Peggy's amusement.

"Now go there for me and have some fun while you're at it."
