AN: I would like to thank When I Make It Shine, for bringing to my attention the fact that some of my readers may be questioning Anna's healing factor and I thought that I should explain. Her healing factor is very much like Wolverine from X-men, which is why she is still alive and looking like she hasn't aged. Just to clear that up for everyone and will try to edit that into the info chapter when I get the chance.
Chapter Three: Awake
Steve sits next to Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the backseat of a large black SUV on the way back to headquarters after the whole Time Square fiasco. As he looks around outside he remembers all that he has been through, his mind immediately flashing to his now dead best friend Bucky Barnes and his sister Annabelle.
"Angel." He whispers to himself, causing Fury to glance at him and raise an eyebrow. "I need to know where Annabelle Barnes is."
"She's waiting for you at HQ, she might not be what you'd expect." Fury replies with a smirk. Steve glances at him with furrowed brows before calmly waiting to return to the building he had been so quick to flee from.
When they reach the building, the men get out and quickly ascend the steps to enter the large building. Looking around for an old woman, Steve is shocked to see a very familiar face emerge from the crowd of agents.
"I warned you," Fury states before addressing the woman standing a few feet away, "Ms. Barnes, I believe you can take over from here."
She nods and takes a few steps toward her friend as Fury walks away. Steve stares at her in shock for a moment before being pulled into a tight hug. "A little late on your promise, aren't you Captain? Welcome home." She whispers against his chest as tears fall from her eyes.
AN: I apologize for the short chapter, but it seemed like the most logical place to cut off. I also apologize if I don't update for a while, but I'm playing with a few ideas to bridge the gap between Captain America and The Avengers, if anyone has any ideas or constructive criticism PM me or review.
