STEPH!" Tony yelled as she ran off ignoring his cry to come back and in his own special way that he hadn't meant to say that.
"No sense of humor" He mumbled before turning toward Bruce.
"That's the girl dad was crazy about" He told him pointing toward the door as Bruce stared at Tony in total shocked. Tony began to work again.
After an awkward moment of working in silence. The only sounds of tools clinking or the computers clicking Bruce broke the silence.
"I can't believe you did that?" he said shocked as he ran a hand threw his hair.
"Do what?"
"You insulted America's Golden Girl Tony."
"Sooooo..." He said looking up waving his screwdriver back and forth.
"In her time, women were never treated like that." Banner said as if it explained everything.
"So I wasn't a perfect gentleman. Big whoop. She needs to learn that times changed." Tony said trying to forget her kicked puppy face.
"That's not it Tony" Bruce said bringing his glasses to his shirt as he started to clean them.
"Then what is it Brucey. Since you apparently know more about woman then a playboy does." Tony muttered sarcastically giving him all his attention.
Bruce stayed quiet and continued to clean his lens. He took a deep breath and stared at Tony almost too calmly.
"Tony..."
"What Bruce, What!" Tony said impatiently.
"Look Tony, I'll make this as simple as possible." Bruce said as he looked toward the loading screen and walked toward Tony. Softly placing a hand on his shoulder leading him toward the door. Surprisingly Tony let him lead him toward the direction Stephanie ran off.
'How dare that man! He can't even fathom what I had to go through.' Stephanie thought as she wiped a tear that made its way to her cheek. Dressing up in a silly outfit and flirting with strange men in the audience to sell war bonds was downright embarrassing and she started to hate herself for it.
He wouldn't even understand the disintegration, speculations, and just downright hate I've gone through just to be able to survive intact as I am. Instead of me being stuck in a lab till they were able to copy copy the serum, and then place it into a guy, and do who knows what to me. I fought with my friends to become America's hope in the war. Stephanie thought as she wiped the other escaping tears with the back of her hands. She made her way through a series of corridors to an empty room with only a metal bench on the side.
She signed and sat down as she held her head in her hands. The feelings in her were beginning to become overwhelming. Everything is still TOO new and everyone she cared about was killed, dead, or indisposed. The new people she met were getting on her nerves. She just needed a break.
She felt her throat feel swollen and choked up as she fought the erg to cry. She started to think of things that made her happy. Peggy, Mom, the howling commandos, puppies, children, zebras, Bucky, Howard and she began to get lost in her thoughts with the person who was her sunshine during her bleak childhood.
"Bucky..."
it was so...cold.
Stephanie could feel her teeth chattering as she used the shabby tree in front of some Brooklyn apartments as cover from the freezing rain.
She was a frail and pale being. Stephanie Rogers was your typical victim from the depression; she was weak, famished, and very sick.
Though her physical aspect was sympathetic her character was strong and she would always defend herself from any form of unjust behavior. She was a gifted person with a very kind heart. She knew what was right and wrong and always chose to be on the good side. But because of her physical appearance people gave her no minds and continued onto whatever they were doing.
Her mother had just passed away with pneumonia and Stephanie was left to fend for herself with only $10 dollars to her name.
"Look its Stephanie" Amanda Welsh, a red headed overly fed rich girl, pointed to her as she and her gang of flappers walked by.
"She looks like a drowned rat" Macy, a quiet brunet whispered with a hand over her mouth as she giggled.
"Get clammed or fade won't cha." Stephanie said as she stomped her foot down splashing water onto the group of girl's naked legs and rewetting her own tan trousers with the frosty water. (close mouthed or shut up, get lost)
"You going to pay for that" Amanda yelled stepping forward making a move to grab her hair.
"Hey!" a boy's voice yelled getting all of their attention.
A young boy walked up in between them. She recognized him from her school. He was James Barnes. The boy all the girls were all Goofy (Crazy in love) about.
"What happening over here." he asked checking each of our faces. I noticed Amanda's pose no longer wanted me gunned down (be after). But instead were distracted by James.
I tried to walk to another secluded area when James graved my skinny wrist making me blush when he shot me a smile. I looked at the group again to see them looking angrily at me.
"Well I asked a question. Is anyone going to answer me?" James asked as he looked at me. I opened my mouth before I was pushed into a puddle by Amanda as she got up close to Bucky.
"We were trying to stop this pro skirt from dipping us" she said pointing toward me as I raise my eyebrows in alarm. Did she just call me a... This chick. (Prostitute, pick pocketing)
James began to laugh shocking the group of girls. "I honestly doubt that Amanda." And he made his way over to me and placed a hand onto my shoulder.
"I've seen her in class. She does nothing but read and read on. A Dipper doesn't read." Bucky said with a grin confusing the girls. (Pick pocketer)
"But..." Macy started when Bucky let out a laugh and placed an arm around my shoulders and pulled me up to his arm.
"She's too sweet to be a pro skirt. She's more of a doll" James said pulling me even closer so that I was in his chest. Which I was grateful for since my face was most likely blood red.
Bucky's mother came to the scene with an umbrella and notices us.
"Hello Stephanie, how are you? I haven't seen much of you in church lately." she said with a pleasant smile before taking in my wet appearance and frowned at it. Her frown grew as she saw Amanda and her group of poses.
"Ms. Welsh will you be on your way home now. I'm assured your gold digging mother is worried about you" she said and began to walk away with us starring at her in shock.
"James, Stephanie come along." she called as we followed her giggling to way toward her. She took us to the apartment and game me some dry clothes to wear.
"Stephanie, what is your mother thinking letting you out in this weather? We both know you get sick too often." she said checking my temperature and making a tisk noise.
"My mother just passed on the other day ma'am." I said looking down as Mrs. Barnes rubbed my back.
"It's alright doll you can stay with us." she soothed before pushing her toward Bucky to play with a smile on her face.
3rd person
"Sarah!" Stephanie awoke to her father's drunk yell. It made her turn around as she focused her attention to the light peeking under her bedroom door.
''John please!'' she heard her mother desperately call as she heard heavy footsteps steadily approach her door.
Her door slammed wide open as the figure of her angry father came into view. Stephanie quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep but her rapid breathing gave her away.
He approached the bed and yanked off her blanket. The only sense of protection she had revealing her red flannel pajamas.
''Get up NOW'' he order as she looked up at him fearfully. She slowly rose to her feet and looked down as her father looked her over ignoring her mother's pleas to leave her alone.
''Off with the shirt.'' He ordered touching the smooth of her cheek wiping away a stray tear. Stephanie nodded slowly and unbuttons the top button slowly and made her way to the second holding in her crying. Her father lets out an impatient snarl as he ripped the rest of her buttons off and removed her shirt showing a small boney undeveloped body.
''So damn boney. No man will ever want you like this.'' He sighed. And Sarah quickly made her way over.
''That's why you have me honey. Show me what you can do.'' He mother said taking her father's attention from her as she made the signal to go hide in the kitchen till it was over
Stephanie was so lost in her memories that she didn't see a hand of an unknown agent reach out and grip her shoulder.
She jumped into action quickly flipping the arm over her shoulder and having her foot directly over the man's neck. And the agent held his hand up in a surrender motion as Stephanie let him go.
''Sorry'' she mumbled quietly as the agent dusted himself off.
''No harm done. I just came to tell you we need this room cleared out a sap for medical reasons.'' The man explained as Stephanie nodded and made her way toward the door.
