Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the idea of this story.

Primus walked down the sidewalk through the crowded streets of Brooklyn in her human form. She absently looked around the street, overhearing several conversations of those she passed by. And they were all talking about the same thing: the war.

Primus knew that she could have made this Earth not have any type of war, like her home, but she knew that having free will would be better for humans. That was why after she created Cybertron and her first children, she created the Archangels and the Angels to help her monitor the planets with life. But around the same time that her firstborn – the Primes – were killed by the Fallen, her second eldest son of the Archangels had fallen into sin, causing him to fall into hell, and to be locked in a cage to prevent him from starting the Apocalypse. But that hadn't stopped Lucifer creating demons, hellhounds, and other vile creatures that preyed on the humans that Primus had created.

So, on top of creating Steve Rogers who would become Captain America and Bucky Barnes who would become the Winter Soldier, as well as the idea of the rest of the humans that would be the guardians of Earth, she also created humans that would have the knowledge of protecting humans from the beings unleashed from hell. The combined grief of losing the Primes and for her second eldest son and other Angels that had fallen with him, Primus disappeared from all of her children, and had been walking among humans for many years.

Her attention was pulled from her thoughts as she heard a cry from down an alley that she was just getting ready to pass.

Primus stepped into the alley to see a few males beating up a smaller, more frail one.

"Hey!" Primus shouted, drawing the attention of the attackers and victim. "Leave him be!"

"What's it to you, sweet cheeks? He's just a pathetic, little weakling." The leader said, giving another kick into the victim's stomach even as he leered at her. Primus felt a presence behind her that gave the slowly advancing males pause.

"I think the lady said for you to leave him alone. Now leave!" the man behind her commanded. The three males quickly ran out of the alley and Primus silently commanded the ground in front of the retreating men to trip them and watched silently with amusement as the three of them sprawled onto the ground when they got to the mouth of the alley.

The man that had helped, moved forward and helped the other one to his feet.

"Sometimes I think you like getting punched."

"I had him on the ropes."

Primus watching the two realized that they knew each other. Best friends, and their names popped into her head as she looked at them closer. Bucky Barnes. Steve Rogers. The Winter Soldier and Captain America. If she hadn't been the creator of all Life in this universe, and among other things, if she had still just been Percy Jackson, she would have begun to fangirl. But she was a Primoridal being now. She could only fangirl inwardly and in the back of her mind so she wouldn't act like a 'Seaweed Brain' her Wise girl had fondly called her all of those years ago.

"How many times is this?" Bucky opened a paper in his hands. "You're from Paramus now? You know it's illegal to lie on the enlistment form. And seriously, Jersey?"

Steve finally finished wiping himself off of the dirt and blood on his clothes and face and focused on the uniform that Bucky was wearing.

"You get your orders?"

"107th. Sergeant James Barnes, shipping out for England first thing tomorrow."

Primus was just feeling awkward now. By the gods! These two are making the creator of the universe of life of fate, feel uncomfortable in their prescence. She hadn't felt this since one of the young cybertronians had asked her an awkward question. Orion Pax, she believed his name was. She tuned back into the conversation when the two men turned to her.

Bucky extended a hand to her. Primus placed her hand gently into his and let him raise it up to lay a gentle kiss on the back. "Thank you, ma'am, for stepping in to help Stevie boy here."

Steve's face turned red at Bucky's words and even redder when Primus turned to him after she had had her hand released from Bucky's hold.

"I can't stand bullies, Steve, Steve's friend. So I was happy to step in and help." She extended her hand and placed it gently in Steve's and allowed him to kiss the back of it.

After withdrawing her hand, she surprised both men by leaning forward and placing a kiss on both of their foreheads and decided to give the two of them some parting advice. "Steve's friend, you are stronger then you think. Don't let your shield hide you fasely even from yourself. Remember that you are kind and sweet and that you can show it to the outside world and not be ashamed of it. Because there will come a day in which you will wish you had some emotion. But this is not that day. Steve, keep trying. Keep trying to follow your dreams, in to doing what is right. We need more of the two of you in this world. And don't ever leave a man behind, ya got me?" The two males nodded, confused as she walked away.

"Bucky!" Bucky suddenly called out, causing Primus to turn around. "My name's Bucky."

Primus smiled. "I think I would rather call you James. It is your name, isn't it?" As the two men stared at her frozen on how she knew Bucky's real name, Primus left the alley, turned the corner and used her power to flash away just in time for when the two darted out of alley to search for her.

"Okay, who the hell was that?" Bucky said. Steve shrugged.

"She was a weird one, Buck." Bucky shot him a look.

"But she was hot. Hot trumps weird any day, Steve, any day."

Steve barely managed to stop himself from rolling his eyes. "Anyway, let's go. I've got the two of us dates to the Stark Expo tonight. Let's go and enjoy my last night on American soil."
