AN: For those of you who don't know, Becca Barnes is Bucky's little sister in the comics. I picture her as Melissa Benoist

Pulling up to his new home, Steve stared out the window with a mixture of shock, awe and admiration. They set up base at an old military fort. The place looked sturdy and strong. The fences looked newer than the rest of the place and before he could question anything, Bucky began giving him the run down.

"This place was built during World War Two. Whole place is made out of fortified concrete. We redid the fences ourselves. They were wrought iron before but Tony, our resident genius and engineer, had better metal with him. Vibranium or something like that, right Tasha? Anyway, they're much stronger. Doesn't matter how much walkers pile up against it, it isn't going anywhere. There's officially eight buildings on the property. Four is for housing people, one is for the animal, one's is the armory and storage place, one's a garage, the other's a library and soon will be a theater too. We've got farmers here and hunters plus we stock up and preserve so don't worry about food and drinking water. There's a reserve of water underground we siphon into camp with a well system so we've got plumbing and showers. You could use one, you don't exactly smell like a flower field."

"Thanks." Steve deadpanned but didn't disagree.

"What kind of friend would I be if I didn't tell you the truth? I'm sure the little lady would love one too." The car stopped inside a building where there was four other cars, a greenish-gray bus and two motorcycles inside and a car outside. Thor had arrived before them. Natasha stepped out of the car without preamble or a goodbye, got some stuff from the trunk and walked towards a man with spiky dirty blonde hair. Bucky got out and shouted after her.

"You complete me!" She flipped him the bird in response before smirking at him over her shoulder and continuing on her way. He was smiling as he opened the door for Steve and Shannon.

"Your taste in women hasn't changed." Steve commented, shaking his head.

"Implying the need?"

"I don't wanna say. Natasha might have bionic hearing and I'll end up with a ninja star in my neck." Bucky laughed as he took Shannon from Steve's arms. The baby happily accepted the attention and affection he immediately began showering her with. She didn't meet new people often and it was Bucky so despite Steve's separation anxiety he didn't take Shannon back once he got their bags out of the car. Bucky didn't seem like he had plans of giving her back anytime soon anyway.

"You want me to show you to your room first or to Becca?"

"Becca." Steve said without hesitation. He wanted to be sure she was okay, he wanted to see her with his own two eyes. Bucky led him outside the building and around the corner. There were cars there too but they were on platforms like at a body shop and at the front there was a car with the hood popped open. Legs stuck out from under the car on the left side and a slim foot hung out the driver's side window. The body attached to the legs under the car made it's appearance. He had on a greasy wife beater and a welder's mask so Steve couldn't see his face. He went to the front and used a blowtorch on whatever he was working on under the hood before he hit the side of the car twice. Suddenly the ignition ignited. The car stalled for a second before roaring to life. Bucky started clapping beside him and after a while Shannon joined him.

"Say 'yay', Shannon."

"Yaaaa." Shannon said, clapping her hands.

"Close enough."

"Am I gonna get my daughter back?" Steve asked, smiling at the two.

"Nope. Go say hi to Becca before flies start swarming her mouth." Steve turned back to the car and saw Becca standing there staring at him with her mouth hung open. He nearly dropped at the sight of her. The last time he saw her she was 14, two years had passed and she had grown so much. She had gained five inches, now putting her at 5'8. Her brown hair was longer. She'd lost the lingering baby fat, making her face leaner and she was skinnier. The only thing that hadn't changed were her bright blue eyes, the same as Bucky's.

"Look whose been eating their spinach since I've been gone." Steve commented with a grin. That snapped Becca out of her stupor.

"Steve!" She exclaimed running at him and jumping into his arms while her legs wrapped around his waist. He chuckled but held her tightly back.

"I thought I'd never see you again."

"You and me both." She didn't ask about Peggy or comment on his smell, she just hugged him even tighter before finally pulling back but she stayed in his arms, her legs still around his waist.

"Oh man Big Bro, you need a shave. Your face has almost lost the battle."

"Bucky said almost the exact thing."

"Well, he has to be right at least once a month." She teased sliding down until her feet hit the ground but her arms replaced them.

I guess she's keeping me close. I don't mind. Steve thought.

"Hey! Offended." Bucky exclaimed.

"Okay, okay. Once a week." He glared at her while she smiled largely and Steve chuckled. It was just like old times growing up together. Steve had moved into the Barnes home when he was ten after his parents died. Bucky's parents were his godparents so they took him. Becca was born a year later. Despite the age difference the three of them were as close as siblings could be, Steve being no exception. Being with them again along with Shannon made him feel like even though the world had gone to shit he still had a home and something good to live for. Becca suddenly turned behind her and waved the mechanic over.

"Come meet my brother." Steve could hear the man clanking around behind him and turned along with Becca once he heard footsteps behind him. The man before him was tall with dark skin that glistened with sweat and car grease and smelled of motor oil. His eyes were a warm brown that stood out to Steve for some reason.

"So you're the one bringing all this excitement to my garage." He said in lieu of a greeting.

"Yeah, I guess. Sorry." Steve answered apologetically.

"No, no need to apologize. I take any form of entertainment I can in here." He replied smiling widely. His smile threw Steve. It was so bright. It was like the friggin' sun was shining out of his dimpled face. Steve mentally shook himself before he did embarrassing.

"I'm Steve Rogers."

"Yeah, I figured. I'm Sam Wilson. Becca talks about you so much, I feel like already know you. I don't think it's normal to know a person's favorite movie, color and animal before you meet them. Or the fact that they tripped down the stairs and broke their arm when they thirteen because their crush walked by."

"Becca!" Steve exclaimed, having to try hard not to turn red because he was a full body blusher as Bucky started laughing behind him.

"I remember that. Hilarious." He commented between chuckles.

"Sorry Steve. The stories kind of got away from after awhile." Becca said apologetically, removing herself from Steve's side and going over to Shannon who she had been eyeing critically for the last few seconds.

"Don't worry. I'm sure we'll get to know each other well enough. Knowing me, you'll have embarrassing dirt on me in no time." Sam said in appeasement as Bucky and Becca began moving out of earshot while fighting over Shannon.

"That is if you're staying." Sam continued.

"Even if I wanted to leave I don't think those two would give me my daughter back." Steve replied smirking as he heard Bucky exclaim in pain, Becca hum in satisfaction and Shannon begin giggling.

"Cute kid, looks like her father."

"Are you calling me cute?"

"I'm sure under the bush you call a beard there's probably a half way decent looking guy under there." Steve scoffed and laughed while Sam smiled that mega watt smile at him again.

"Hey Steve, come on and we'll show you to a room and a shower." Becca called after him. He turned around briefly and saw Bucky standing with his arms folded across his chest pouting while Becca cooed over Shannon. He shook his head before turning back to Sam.

"I guess I'll see you around, Sam."

"Well you'll find me here most days. Welcome to Shield, Steve."

"Shield?"

"It's what we call this place."

"Thanks again." Steve smiled at him before turning and following Becca, grabbing Bucky while he past the still sulking man. It wasn't until he turned the corner he realized he was flirting with Sam and he had enjoyed it, however brief it was.
