His Name was Steven-James Rogers, after You and Bucky.
Mary was pushing, she was pushing as much as she could.. This pregnancy was so hard on her without Steve around and it was so hard from when she first appointment to the actual baby shower, she loved Peggy and Howard so much for being there for her pregnancy that she made them the godparents of her baby.
She never wanted to find out the gender of her baby, but she would be happy with either gender.. She just wish Steve was there to be there for the birth and be there for their child. But that didn't happen because he went down into the ice and died.
Peggy was at her side, holing her hand tight as she was encouraging her best friend to push and with one final push there was an infant's cry and she breathed heavy as Peggy held her hand and squeezed it
"It's a boy!" The nurse cheered softly as she frowned and looked at Peggy and Mary
"He's really small, we need to check to see if he's okay" She said as she rushed the crying baby outside and soon Howard came in as he carried some flowers and smiled softly
"Congrats mother, you look beautiful" He whispered kissing her on the forehead as Mary laughed and shook her head
"Thanks Howard, Thank you Peggy.. For helping me get through this" She whispered as Peggy smiled and shook her head
"We love you Mary, you'll always have us" Peggy said as the nurse came back with the baby
"He seems fine, he's a bit weak but he'll live" She said as she brought the small baby towards them and handed Mary the tiny baby, Mary had tears in her eyes as she held her baby
Her and Steve's baby.
"What are you going to name him?" Peggy asked softly as she stroked the baby's cheek gently with her thumb and Mary smiled and nodded as she was in tears
"His name is Steven-James Rogers, my little solider" She whispered as she looked down at her baby boy, having no idea how this baby would impact her life, she felt like nothing could tear them apart.
I had two birth certificates for him, One was his private one that had your last name and saying you were the father. I had a public one and he had my last name and there was no father on that paper. I kept the private one safe while everyone knew about the public one, so no one found out that his father was Captain America and would want to test on him.. But Steve it was bad, he was like you.. But weaker.
"Mom look!" Steven said as he tried to catch up with his mom, he however needed to use a cane like object to help him walk around since he was very weak and despite Howard trying to invent things to help him walk, it didn't work
"I'm proud of you!" Mary said as she picked up her son and showered him in kisses and Steven laughed and hugged his mom
"When can we visit Aunt Peggy?" He asked and she shrugged
"Aunt Peggy's at work right now, she's kicking butts and taking names right now with Uncle Howard and Uncle Jarvis so once she comes back here in New York we'll see her"
Once Shield was founded, Howard recruited Dr. Zola and some other German Doctors to help maybe find another way to fix Steven and make him like you, I would have to get samples from Steven and find out another way to fix him but nothing worked
Mary heard her son coughing, as she suspected her son was getting weaker and weaker but his spirit was still alive and she promised her son that she would help fix him
She went into his room of their apartment and saw him having a coughing fit, he was so small for his age. He started school and even though he was picked on the first day, Peggy found out and became the most protective aunt ever and had a talk with the bullies and ever since they stepped and left Steven alone
"Momma?" He asked softly, she made her way softly to him and crawled into the bed with him, she felt his tiny hands wrapping her into a hug as she snuggled him close
"Do you think Dad would have loved me?" He asked all of a sudden and Mary had tears in her eyes, she couldn't believe what she was hearing
"Of course sweetheart? Why would you say that?" She whispered and the little boy shrugged at her
"Because he left Momma" He whispered and Mary touched his hair, his dark brown hair. Even though Steven had Mary's hair color and looked somewhat like her, he had Steve's eyes and at first it was hard to look at her son, but she knew this was her son, she couldn't leave him
"Dad had to save the world, if he didn't go down with that plane innocent people would have died sweetie" She whispered and he nodded and rested his face into his mother's neck
"When I grow up, I wanna be like Dad and save the world like you guys did" The little child said proudly and she smiled and kissed her son on the head
"I'll be like Dad, You, Uncle Bucky and Uncle Howard and Aunt Peggy and Uncle Daniel, You're my heroes " He said proudly, she smiled when he mentioned Daniel since Daniel was also in crutches but he still was a hero, he bonded with Steven so well too
"Why don't we go to the park in the morning and feed the ducks my little Solider?" She asked her son and he nodded happily as she hummed him a lullaby and waited until he fell asleep until she fell asleep
He wanted to be like you when he grew up Steve, He wanted to be the next Captain America.. But He couldn't because he was too sick, one day it got worse
"Where is he?" Mary yelled across the hospital as she stormed around the hallways, she got a call from Steven's teacher that he collapsed while walking to class and they rushed him to the nearest hospital and she found Peggy sitting in a chair with her baby in her arms as Daniel came up to Mary as she started to sob
"Is he okay?" She asked Daniel and he sighed and let go of her
"No, he's getting more weaker and weaker..Steve isn't here maybe his blood could have helped Steven and Zola's recent experiment failed so there's nothing we can do but pray" Daniel said as Mary started to cry and Peggy got up and held Mary close while holding her baby
"I'm so sorry Mary, is there anything we can do?" She whispered and Mary sighed and shook her head
"I wish Steve was here, he would know what to do.. I don't know how I raised a child without their father" Mary cried softly and Peggy shook her head
"I know Steve wasn't here for him, but you did your best and he reminds us of Steve everyday" Peggy whispered and Mary nodded hugging her friends
"Thank you guys, for being there for us and without you guys I don't know what I would have done" She whispered as the elevator door opened and everyone saw Howard coming out of there and he was rushing to them
"Is he okay?" Howard asked panicked, over the last few years he grew a bond with the little Rogers and he didn't know what he would have do without the child in his life
"He's very sick, We're waiting for the Doctor's news" Peggy said as she sat down with her baby and Mary who held her face between her head
"I can't lose Steven too, I lost his father.. I can't lose him too" Mary said softly as Howard hugged his best friend and soon they saw The Doctor exiting the room and all of them stood up and The Doctor shook his head
"He's too weak, his liver is slowly shutting down.. He doesn't have much time left" The Doctor said, everyone looked at Mary expecting her to break down but she had tears and she nodded and started to walk until Daniel stopped her
"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked and she sighed and looked down
"I need to be brave for him, I don't want him to be scared" Mary said as she left her friends and entered the room and found her little boy laying there with so many needles in him
"Are you okay sweetie?" She asked as she saw her son weakly open his eyes, he gave a small smile and nodded and thought for a moment
"Do you think I'll see Dad again?" He asked softly, she sat down besides him and started to play with his dark brown hair as she twirled his hair around her fingers and smiled softly
"Probably, You'll get to finally meet him" She whispered and he smiled weakly and he started to cough a lot
"Mom I don't feel well" He said softly as she nodded
"You'll be fine, trust me" She said, he nodded and he looked at her for a moment
"Do you think I'll find someone one day like you found Dad?" He asked and Mary chuckled softly and nodded
"Once you find that person, never let them go and treasure them and everything they bring to the table" She said softly and the dark brown hair boy smiled softly and his eyes started to close
Mary tried her best to bring her son into her arms and she hummed the lullaby he loved the most, and she felt his breathing get slower and slower
"Momma I'm tired" He complained and she nodded and kissed her head
"Rest my darling.. I love you"
"Always?"
"Always" She said softly and soon she heard the machine go flat as she started to cry, holding her son close to him as Peggy and Howard ran into the room to be there for their friend and see their godson the last time
"Good bye my little solider" She whispered and she remembered the thoughts she had when she first had him
Nothing could tear them apart.
Nothing but the grave.
He was the light of my life, I miss him so much like I missed you. He temporary took away that pain but when he died the pain came back and I was at my lowest moment until I finally met my husband.. His name was Jason and he was the reason why I healed and I owe him so much, I feel like you guys would have gotten along.. You, Bucky and Jason were my guys while Steven was my boy.. Now you're all gone, but I will never forget you. I had my two children Abbie and Damien, They lived their lives knowing who you were and you were their hero.. Well besides their father. Abbie grew up to be a Shield agent but she sadly died while protecting Howard, while Damien took the chance and became a Doctor for the Army, Abbie got married to someone in Shield also and they had Riley while Damien had twins boys and they're currently traveling through the world helping people in need. I'm so proud of them..
Steve before I end this letter, I must tell you that I lived my life and I was happy, now I want you to be happy.. Please find that happiness and don't live in the past no more, I know I dreamed of what would have happened if you stayed and you found out I was pregnant but that dream died when you left and when Steven died. But you boys will always be on my mind until the end.
Forever Yours, Mary.
Steve looked at the letter so many times as he had tears in his eyes, he kept reading the letter over and over again and each time there were more tears in his eyes as he was crying the fact that he had a son, a child but he passed away and he didn't even know his own son. That's what killed him the most.
Soon the door knocked and Natasha entered the room and noticed Steve was crying as she sat there for a moment before speaking
"Just know whatever you're going through, I'm here as a friend to help you" She said softly as Steve looked up at her and nodded, he sighed and stuffed the letter in his pocket and got up and walked out of the room and into the kitchen and saw Sam drinking some orange juice while Riley was eating a piece of toast and Steve couldn't look at Riley after reading the letter because she just reminded him of Mary and all the pain she went through
Once Steve made it to the table to sit down, Riley joined him but was at the opposite side and just ignored him as she ate and Natasha noticed the tension but chose to ignore it and Sam came up to them and dropped a folder at them
"Call this my resume" Sam said as Steve opened the folder and Natasha and grabbed some of the papers and her eyes widen
"Woah that's so cool? You guys did this in the army?" She asked and Sam nodded and Steve noticed a picture of Sam with another guy and he picked it up
"This is Riley?" He asked, knowing how Sam had his own Riley.
Riley went towards the picture and took it out of Steve's hands and observed the picture before smiling and looking at Sam
"I'm quite honored to share the same name as him then" Riley smiled up at Sam, who returned the smile and rested his hand on her shoulders.
"Are you sure you wanna do this? You don't know what you're signing up for" Steve warned him and Sam smiled and shrugged
"Dude, Captain America needs my help, I'll take it" Sam smiled and Steve smiled and nodded his friends in thanks
"So where do we find one of these things?" Steve asking about Sam's wings and Sam thought for a moment
"I know where it is, The fort is easy to break into to" Sam said the fort's name but Riley stopped him
"One of my cousins is stationed at that fort, I can give him a call and he can bring one of us inside but it could risk his job" Riley said remembering one of her cousins mentioning a few weeks back that they were currently stationed in the fort
"Great, if he can let us in then we can find the wings and bam we'll be out before anyone notices" Natasha said as Riley smiled and she looked around
"Sam, do you know your nearest payphone? We can't have Shield seeing I'm calling him through my phone otherwise they'll go after him too, I don't need him to be dragged into this too" Riley explained and soon Sam took his keys and everyone started to get ready to leave and Sam got them into a car and soon they were a few blocks away from his house and Riley took out some quarters and inserted them into the phone and started to dial the number quickly and soon the person picked up
"Hey Chase! I'm doing good, Yes I know I'm wanted by Shield that's why I called you by a payphone. I was wondering since you're still at that fort you mentioned last month? I need you to bring me in there because I need to take something important and bring it to my friend, no it's not a bomb it's like a wing pack it makes him fly, You know where it is? Perfect I'll meet you a few miles away from the base and we'll go in" She said as all three of them heard a man's voice
"Alright Chase, I'll see you later." She said as she hung up the phone and smirked at Sam
"That's what happens when you have family in the army" She said as Natasha laughed and they got everything ready to take the journey.
So here they were now in the car in the highway driving back to the shield base to take down the helicarriers with the help of Sitwell even though he was being hold by his own will with Riley holding a gun to his sides, Riley's cousin Chase managed to sneak in Riley into the base and get the wings before they were caught, Chase helped her outside and once he saw Captain America he hugged him and thanked him for everything he did and for being there for Mary before Chase had to go back inside and 'Help find the missing suit.'
"We only have 16 hours are you sure this is going to work?" Natasha said and Steve nodded as Sam was driving and he was sitting next to him
"This is not going to work! This is im-" Sitwell was stop short as they heard a loud thud on the car and all of a sudden a metal hand went through the window as it broke and Natasha pulled Riley back as Riley tried saving Sitwell but it was too late as the Winter Solider grabbed Sitwell and threw him into the highway and Riley gasped as the truck hit Sitwell.
"Call in the Snakes" Pierce yelled as he heard that Sitwell was captured by Captain America and his team, he couldn't risk losing this battle now. After all they fought for.
"Should I go with them?" Rumlow had asked and Pierce had shook his head
"No, because you'll screw them up. I want them all out with The Winter Solider and we're ending this today" Pierce yelled as Rumlow rushed out of the room to get the Snakes
The Winter Solider was on the car as he started to shoot through the roof of the car, Natasha quickly pushed Riley in front as she landed and straddled Steve's waist and Natasha moved to sit on Sam, Sam stopped the car and The Winter Solider went flying but landed swiftly with the help of his metal arm. Riley looked at Steve for a moment as they were blushing and at the corner of her eye she saw a jeep coming towards them as Natasha took out her gun to aim at the Winter Solider but before she could shoot the jeep hit the car as Steve wrapped his arms around Riley to protect her from the impact as the car went moving.
Natasha looked behind and saw the window opening and saw another man climb out of the car and onto the top of the jeep and Natasha's eyes widen knowing who that was.
The Viper.
As The Winter Solider dodged swiftly but still landed on the car, he used his metal arm to slam his arm into the front of the car taking away the driving wheel of the car and Riley's eyes widen as Natasha gasped and Sam looked shocked
"Shit!" Sam said looking up and Riley tried going down to get the gun that fell on the ground earlier and as she was reaching it she touched Steve's inner thigh and Steve's eyes widen as Riley blushed
"Sorry" She muttered as she finally got the gun to aim it at the roof but they heard The Winter solider jump back onto the jeep and The Viper aimed his gun at the wheels and started shooting them, flatting them all out
The car started crashing into the side as Steve hit the side of the car and saw it was ready to break and Sam breathed in
"Steve we don't have time, we're going into the air in a few seconds." He warned as Steve looked at the door and at Sam and Natasha
"Hold on!" He warned as he felt Riley's legs wrap around his waist and Sam and Natasha grabbed him as Steve knocked the door out of the car as the car went flying but they all landed on the ground safely thanks to the car door as the jeep zoomed past them but stopped a few feet ahead, Sam was rolling on the ground while Steve was holding Natasha and Riley close.
Soon more people came out of the jeep, as The Viper and The Winter Solider jumped onto the ground and Natasha gasped and knew who these people where.
The Snakes.
The Viper
The Boa
The Rattlesnake
The Cobra
The Adder
Four Boys and One Girl.
The Adder was a short female with medium Blonde hair and brown eyes, The Boa had black hair with green eyes, The Rattlesnake was a male with black hair and ice blue eyes while The Cobra was a male with a bowl cut, brown hair and blue eyes.
Then there was The Viper.
Brownish almost black hair with these ice blue eyes that were cold as ice but something about him, it calmed Natasha down like he wouldn't hurt her.
The Adder handed The Winter Solider a grenade launcher as Sam hid behind the walls of the highway, Steve saw that The Winter Solider was aiming at Natasha and Riley as Steve pushed Natasha and Riley away from him as they hid behind the car and The Winter Solider shot a grenade at them and Steve went flying into the cars.
The Rattlesnake charged at Riley as she quickly dodged him and went straight into The Cobra who jabbed at her sides, she groaned but started throwing punches at The Cobra while trying to dodge The Rattlesnake as she looked over quickly and saw Natasha going head to head with The Adder.
Riley looked over again and saw The Viper jumping off the ledge and to multiple cars as he went down to look for Steve.
Riley soon moved quickly, enough for The Cobra to make a wrong move and he hit The Rattlesnake accidently and Riley moved quickly to tackle The Adder into the ground and before she could get up she saw The Winter Solider aiming the grenade launcher at her and Natasha grabbed her and she used a machine to make attach her to the sides of the road and Riley and Natasha landed safely on the ground as a car fell behind them and exploded
"We need to help Steve" Riley said as she was jogging, she saw multiple figures at the edge of the highway waiting for them to attack and Natasha nodded
"You go help Steve, I'll take care of the Snakes until Sam gets back up" Natasha said grabbing her guns. Riley made a break for it as Natasha started shooting and got The Winter Solider at the eye but knew she didn't kill him, she aimed at the Snakes and they started dodging by hiding behind the wall of the highway
Natasha made a break for it also but ran straight until The Viper
Riley was running into the bus to see Steve there laying on the floor, she watched as other people were helping each other out and she wished she could help but she needed to help Steve the most
"Steve we need to get out, all of them are here" He knew what she meant and he nodded as he grabbed her hand and they ran out of the bus and saw The Viper and Natasha going head to head and saw The Viper was having an advantage until Natasha got the upper hand and punched The Viper's side and she took the chance to run off.
Riley and Steve looked over and saw The Rest of The Snakes coming down along with The Winter Solider and they saw Sam finding a gun and started shooting at The Snakes and he got The Cobra as he grunted and fell to the ground and The Rattlesnake noticed quickly and dragged his fallen friend to the side safely while The Adder looked mad and started to aim at Sam who quickly hid and Steve took the chance to charge at her and tackle her to the ground and they went at it with kicks and punches until Steve picked her up and threw her into the air and she couldn't land correctly as she rolled on the floor and her face mask came out and she looked at Steve and Steve's eyes widen
This was the same girl that attacked them earlier this year, the one that hurt Riley.
He felt anger but before he could charge at her, he turned and saw The Winter Solider blow up a car and Natasha jumping on The Winter Solider's shoulder as she tried taking him down but it failed as he slammed her into the car and saw The Viper and Riley going head to head as Riley was fast enough for him and Steve was ready to help her but saw Natasha running and The Winter Solider shooting at her, nearly missing her and she hid behind the car and he saw The Winter Solider jump on the car aiming his gun at her and he quickly ran to him and ready to hit The Solider with his Shield but the Winter Solider saw him coming and hit his shield with the metal arm as it made a sound.
Natasha took that chance to run towards The Viper and charge at him taking him down, as Riley stumbled away trying to catch her breath and saw Sam was still going after The Rattlesnake and The Adder and looked and saw Steve was fighting with The Winter Solider himself and saw Natasha throwing punches at The Viper
The Viper kicked Natasha's knee causing her to kneel on one knee as he took the chance to pin her down and he elbowed Riley when she came towards him and Natasha looked down at the ice cold hair and dark brown hair and saw nothing but coldness but swore there was emotion in his eyes
She head-butted him and he groaned as she rolled over him and was the one that pinned him down
"Let's see who you are" She said as she took off the mask and couldn't believe her eyes
It was James, from the Mall.
The James she kissed.
James was The Viper
"Now Love, that's quite rude" James said head-butting her and she was dazed and saw who he was going after
"Riley!" She shouted but Riley couldn't see as James slammed her into the car and pinned her down and pointed a gun at her head and looked at Natasha
"Move and she's dead" He warned and Natasha snorted
"You kill her and you'll be dealing with Captain America" She said as James snorted
"I could care less" He said as soon he saw Steve throw The Winter Solider into the air and The Winter Solider rolled onto the floor and his mask came off, The Viper took that chance he ran at Steve and pinned him to the ground and Steve look over and saw who the Winter Solider was and his mouth was opened as he pushed The Viper off, The Viper joined The Winter Solider's side as Steve's mouth was open
"Bucky?"
"Who The hell is Bucky?" The Winter Solider said pointing his gun at Steve who didn't know what to do until Falcon came and kicked Bucky and knocked him off for a moment before The Falcon started throwing punches at The Viper and The Viper groaned in pain and The Winter Solider took notice of that and right away pushed Falcon off of The Viper and The Winter Solider aimed his gun at Steve while The Viper aimed his gun at The Falcon but The Winter Solider heard something flying at them as he grabbed The Viper and run and saw the rest of the Snakes retreating before some Swat cars were rolling in as Steve rushed to Riley's side as he wrapped his arms around her and just held her, happy that she was alive.
