"Steve wait!" Riley called as she rushed out the pizza place running after Steve who just ignored her, he looked like he wanted to have a panic attack about everything that has happened over the past few months, to be honest he didn't know if he could make it through this new life.
"I can't do this!" Steve's voice broke for a moment before stopping looking at the destroyed buildings around him, watching as the builders were still trying to fix them and at that moment he felt like the world stopped and it was him there until Riley broke his thoughts when she placed a hand on his shoulder and he looked down and shook his head
"I was suppose to be the one that ends the war, that's it and I was suppose to go home in the end of the day with Mary and everything could have perfect." He said quietly, Riley looked at him sadly
"I know this wasn't suppose to happen to you, but it did and right now you have to adjust to this new life style.. I promise you that you're not alone.. You have me and the Avengers as your friends and everything will be just fine.. You just need time." She whispered and Steve thought for a moment before nodding but he still couldn't get over this change, it was hard.
"Okay Steve, I guess we should take it easy today.. We can watch some movies?" She suggested and Steve smiled a bit, at least she was making the effort to make him feel better.
"So what's this movie?" He asked as she sat down on the sofa with some popcorn for them to share
"Star Wars, pretty good movie but long too." She commented and he nodded before they started watching the movie.
After the movie was over he woke up for a moment, he must have fell asleep during the movie and he looked over and saw Riley asleep on his shoulder, he lifted her head carefully and carefully picked her up bridal style before going to his room and laying her on his bed while he took one of his pillows and a blanket from the closest and went to the sofa and knocked out right away.
She opened her eyes and saw she wasn't in her room, she quickly looked over and saw it was Steve's room. She quickly got up but without making the bed and she saw Steve sleeping on the sofa, she felt bad that he couldn't sleep in his own bed last night so she looked at the fridge before smiling a bit, the least she could do is make him breakfast before training today.
Steve woke up to a nice smell of food, he opened his eyes and saw Riley stirring the fry pan, she was clearly making scramble eggs and there was already bacon on the table, he got up and strolled over to the table and she poured him a cup of coffee and passed him some milk and sugar and he muttered a thanks and took a sip of his coffee and chewed on some bacon.
Once she was done cooking they sat together at the table enjoying their food in silence until Steve spoke
"Can you tell me what happened to Mary? After I was gone?" He asked quietly and she thought for a moment before nodding
"After you were gone it took her awhile to recover, she wouldn't see anyone but Peggy and Howard, however weirdly enough after 6 years she started working with Peggy and Howard again with Shield and she met my grandfather since he was an agent. They married two years after and had my mother, her name was Hayley.. Hayley grew up to be an agent too and met my father and bam here I am, it's in the family." She laughed a bit at the last part and Steve nodded for a moment before taking a sip of his coffee
"Would you like to train today? Take it kinda easy and later I'll show you how to use a laptop?" She asked and he smiled for once and he threw on his gym clothes while she went back to her apartment to change.
"So how do you use this?" She asked picking up his shield, she expected it to be heavy but it was actually the perfect weight for her. Steve came to her side when he was done punching a sandbag and he picked up the shield for a moment before throwing it at the dummy and she watched as the dummy broke in half
"Woah we have a badass over here." She joked and he chuckled and he handed her the shield and she couldn't get the right grip on it until he helped her
"Hold it like this." He said showing her, she started to pick it up as she held it the right way and he pressed himself on her as he helped her throw the shield at first and it hit another dummy
"Well muscles, let me try it." She said as he stepped back and she ran to get the shield again and aimed and soon threw it as it went through the dummy and she did a victory dance
"Not bad on your first try." Steve said as she smirked and they heard the door open and saw Fury entering with Natasha and it looked like they were talking until they spotted the two
"Right, Agent Smith and Captain Rogers, I've been looking for you.. Today you'll go on a small mission, there has been reports of an attack in Florida by a woman we don't know who she is but we need you guys and Natasha to figure out what and why she was doing there." He said and he walked off leaving Natasha with the two
"Right, so far I've heard the female is blonde with brown eyes.. Looks like she's in her mid 20s and she's dangerous." She said and she led them away from the gym as they walked to get their things ready with Natasha and Riley getting changed into their agent outfits while Steve into his Captain America suit and they started heading off
