Chapter 4

After the confrontation with Fury, Steve and Anna walked back to the apartment to gather their things. The bedroom had had two beds for each of them, but they mostly used one when they were together. Steve and Anna packed up clothes as they headed for their departure. Outside, a black truck waited them to take them to their destination. Steve let out his hand, gesturing 'Ladies first.' Anna, happily, replied by going forward and taking her seat. The truck took them to a secure S.H.I.E.L.D. location where a jet, containing Phil Coulson and Melinda May, waited for them. As the two super-soldier's entered the jet, Phil and May approached and did their greetings, although, Phil, himself, was incredibly anxious on shaking their hand and were stumped on why, but they thought nothing of it. May looked to Phil and rolled her eyes as if she knew that he would this. As the plane took off, she gave the super-soldier's a tablet so that they could study people they would be working with. For Steve, it was Tony Stark, Natasha Romenoff, and Bruce Banner. Anna, on the other hand, had Peter Parker, James Rhodes, and Melinda May included, But she also had a few notes about Banner as well and reviewed it.

"So, this Dr. Banner was trying to replicate the serum they used on us?" Anna questioned.

"A lot of people were." Phil replied. "You two were the world's first superheroes. Banner thought gamma radiation might hold the key to unlocking Erskine's original formula."

"Didn't really go his way, did it?" Steve said as he started to look at the results.

"Yeah, not so much." Phil answered. "When he's not that thing, though, the guy's like a Stephen Hawking."

Steve and Anna looked up to him with a face when people were lost.

"He's like a smart person." he restated. "But, I gotta say it's an honor to meet you two officially."

Steve gave his usual all-around good guy smile as Anna gave her smile that would the sun to shame.

"I've sort of met you." he continued. "I mean watched you two while you were sleeping."

And with that information, Steve and Anna smile quickly receded into a awkward look. May, on the comms area of the jet, bowed and shook her head but couldn't help but crack a smile upon her stonic face as her long-time friend and partner was screwing up his first impression with his favorite heroes.

"I mean, I was present while you were unconscious from the ice." he tried to recover but with little success.

"You know, Phil, since you've told them that, maybe you should tell them about the trading cards that you have and ask them to sign them." May suggested.

Phil sharply looked at her with burning eyes as she looked back with a toned down smile. May knew that outside he was trying to be a welcome wagon for them, but inside, she knew that he was fangirling as it was obvious that he was in that stage.

"Trading Cards?" Steve and Anna questioned in union.

"Their vintage, he's very proud." May continued.

Anna once again had that smile that the sun hated.

"Anyway." Phil interjected. "As I was saying, it really is just a honor to have you two on board this."

"Thank you, we just hope we're the right people for the job." Anna said.

"Oh, you two are." Phil reassured them. "Absolutely. We made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input." he said so proudly.

"The uniform?" Steve questioned. "Aren't the stars and stripes and green a little, uh, old-fashioned?"

"Well, with everything that's happening and the things that are about to come to light...people might just need a little old-fashioned." Phil replied.

May heard his words and knew that he was telling the truth, but before she could add her words, the jets comms started to sound, indicating that they were near the helicarrier.

"We're here." May announced.

"Good." Phil said.

As the jet landed on the platform, the four of them walked out. Natasha walked to them.

"Stow Captain Roger's gear." Phil ordered nearby crewmen.

"Yes, sir." they replied.

"Agent Romanoff, Captain Rogers and Captain Arendelle. Phil introduced

"Ma'am." Steve replied.

"Hello." Anna greeted.

"Hi." Romenoff regreeted. "They need you on the bridge. They're starting the face-trace."

"See you there." Phil said.

"It was quite the buzz around here, finding you two in the ice." Natasha started. "I thought Coulson was gonna swoon."

"If he didn't, he made up for it in the jet." Steve joked.

"Hmm, did he ask for you two to sign his Captain America and Lady Liberty trading cards yet?" the agent wondered.

"I think he was too nervous to do so." Anna answered.

That received a small smile from the hard agent. Anna notice a man in a brown jacket and brown pant with a purple shirt underneath, staggering and avoiding being a problem for the people on the deck, she assumed that that was Banner.

"Dr. Banner" she called out gaining his attention.

"Yeah, hi." he greeted. "They told me you two would be coming."

"Word is, you can find the Cube." Steve said.

"Is that the only word on me?" Bruce questioned.

"Only word we care about." Steve answered.

"It must be strange for you, all of this." Bruce guessed.

"Well, believe it or not, this is actually kind of familiar." Anna said. "Surprisingly, this is still the same."

"Lady and gentlemen, you might want to step inside in a minute." Romanoff came in. "It's going to get a little hard to breathe."

The three heard clanking and whirring around them and the P.A. Announcer ordering everyone to secure the deck.

"Is this a submarine?" Anna wondered.

"Oh, really?" Bruce scoffed in disbelieve. "They want me in a submerged, pressurized, metal container?"

The three walked to the edge and found that that was not the case, the carrier sprouted propellers from it's sides and started to fly to the sky.

"Oh, no this is much worse." Bruce restated.

"I think we just lost the bet." Anna said to Steve as she got out a ten dollar bill.

"Oh yeah, we did." Steve agreed.

"Captain Arendelle, we have a jet waiting to take you to a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility in California." Romanoff announced.

"I thought I was staying here." Anna said in a confused tone.

"No, you and your team will be heading to California in search for Enchantress." the agent explained.

"Oh, okay." Anna said as she turned to Steve. "Be careful up here, it's a long way down."

"I will." he said. "Be careful over there, it's not same as it used to be."

"Aren't I always?" she said with a smile and came in to kiss Steve as he did the same.

Anna turned and walked to the jet, still containing Melinda May but now contained one more person. Anna could feel herself already missing Steve as well as him missing her. The jet doors open and she saw May talking to a young man looks like he just got out of high school. The young man turned and saw her and was too shocked for words. He slowly took out his hand and shook it with Anna's, then she started to notice his excitement.

"Oh my god, I am shake hands with one of the living legends." the man said.

"Mr. Parker, I presume?" Anna said.

"She know's name?" the young man questioned with a gasp. "Best day ever."

Anna smiled and thought.

"I'm guessing this is what Agent Coulson would've been like if he wasn't an agent."

The jet door closed and lifted to the air and made it's way to California.
