Riley woke up to the sounds of monitors bleeping.
Her mouth was dry as she wanted water and she looked around until she saw her best friend Lily sitting near her, sleeping safe and sound but Riley couldn't help but notice the bandages around Lily's waist as there were a million questions going through her head but she looked over and saw Janet in the other chair reading a book and saw Riley was awake and smiled softly
"Hey there, are you fine?" Janet asked softly as Riley nodded and she looked the water bottle and Janet got it and opened it up and carefully helped Riley drink the water
"Doctors should be back in a few moments, they're checking Steve right now" Janet said as Riley looked at Janet for a moment and Janet chuckled
"He's fine, just some bruises.. Damn Super Soldiers tend to heal faster I wish I fully had that" Janet said and looked at Riley and smiled softly at her friend
"He saved your life.. Bucky, He got into the water and saved you and Steve and it took us a couple of hours but Sean and Jasper found you guys and got you here with S.J and Nat behind"
"Where is everyone?" Riley asked and Janet sighed softly and looked at her
"S.J and Natasha are dealing with the Government right now, Jasper, Felix and Sean are packing their things since we're being relocated because it's not safe for us to be on our own.. Steve is in the other room with Sam but he'll be fine and Lily.." Janet said as she looked at Lily for a moment and Riley frowned
"What about Lily?"
"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Janet said softly as Riley turned and saw Lily was awake but there was something wrong... She knew something was wrong when she saw the bandages around her and she knew Lily was pregnant..
No..
She couldn't..?
"I lost the baby" Lily just simply said as Riley took her hand and squeezed it and had tears in her eyes
"I'm so sorry.. I wish I was with you I could have protected you" Riley whispered and Lily shook her head at her friend
"The Snakes did everything they could but Garrett.. He shot me, Ward watched.. Ward didn't even know I was having the baby until I was being rushed over here and before he could react and scream he was being held down.. We lost a baby" She whispered quickly and Riley sighed and she knew that Lily needed the help right now..
"I'll be with you I promise" She vowed as Lily smiled softly at her friend and Janet heard a phone ringing and saw it was her own and she picked up the phone
"Director Fury.. Hello." She whispered as Lily and Riley's heads popped up and looked at Janet as Janet was nodding and humming
"Right, Thank you we won't forget this I promise" She said as she hung up and looked at the girls
"Fury said we're being located at The Stark Tower for the time being until we have a safe house" She said as Riley smiled softly and nodded and soon the three girls recalled their stories of what had happened the last few weeks.
A few moments later Riley was guided to Steve's room along with Jasper and Felix's help and Sean knocked on the door and opened it to find Steve slowly putting on his shirt as he was ready to check out, with Sam behind him carrying Steve's bag
"Why don't you guys wait outside while I speak to Riley?" Steve asked and the four men nodded as they left the room leaving Riley and Steve alone
"You didn't have to do that" Steve said and Riley chuckled at him
"What? Take a bullet for you?" She asked and Steve nodded and Riley sighed
"I grew up watching you on my TV Screen, After my parents died and being raised by Mary I didn't think life would go the way I wanted to until we met and my life changed in a good way" She said as Steve smiled softly at her
"Well.. I thought things were going to be hard but you just made it easy for me.. Riley you took a bullet for me, that's something that I'll never forget"
"Well on the bright side, I'll be out for a couple of months so I'll be watching over The Snakes and making sure they don't kill each other.. Sharon is with the CIA now and Lily is going to be with her team" She said as Steve went closer to her and nodded and looked down at her
"Thank you" He whispered and Riley was confused at first
"For what?" She asked and he leaned down and kissed her softly and before the kiss was deepen he pulled back and smiled and rested his forehead on her forehead
"For sticking with me until the end" He said
"Well this is a nice funeral" Riley noted as this was a funeral for Fury since he was still 'dead' to the whole world but only a few knew he was alive.
"Small and quiet" Sam said as he let Riley lean on him as Steve was looking at the gravestone for a moment and saw Fury coming up to them and instead of an eye-patch he was now wearing sunglasses
"Well this is nice" Fury noted as he looked over at Riley and he went to her and hugged her while being careful
"Take care of yourself Sweetie, I'm guessing you don't wanna come with me? I'm heading off to England"
"Nah, I have business here" She smiled softly looking at Steve and Sam and soon they heard a motorcycle and a few moments later S.J was parking the motorcycle while Natasha got off and they spoke to each other for a moment before Natasha kissed S.J and went towards them with a file in her hand as S.J stayed behind sitting on the motorcycle
"If anyone needs me, you can tell them to find me right here" Fury pointed to his grave as he walked off and Natasha chuckled at them as they turned to look at them
"Probably the nicest thing he'll say" She said as she went face to face with Steve, Riley and Sam
"So what are you going to do?" Sam asked and Natasha shrugged and smiled
"My cover has been blown, Have to start somewhere new.. I heard Jersey is nice" Natasha chuckled and Riley smiled and looked over at S.J
"What about S.J?"
"S.J is going to stay with me most of the time but he'll stay with The Snakes once they have their safe house.. There's something he needs to do first" She smiled looking at S.J who smiled softly and looked down at his motorcycle
"We're going to reunite him with his daughter see how that goes" She said softly as she looked over at Steve and handed him the file
"I called a few people.. This is everything they have on him that we know of.. All I can say is please be careful" She said before going on her tippy toes and kissing him on the cheek and going over to Riley and kissing her cheek as well
"I'll see you guys again, when S.J wants to come here to New York"
"So you guys are a thing now?" Riley asked and Natasha smiled softly at her
"You can say so, We're taking things slow" Natasha said before walking off and Steve and Riley looking up at S.J who smiled and nodded before Natasha hopped on the motorcycle behind him and he started the cycle and looked over at Steve
"Hey Captain" S.J called to Steve who looked confused
"If you ever need another hand to help out, You know where to find me" S.J said as Steve smiled and nodded at his son before S.J took off in his motorcycle. Steve opening the file of Bucky and he sighed.. This was going to be a hunt.
"You're going after him aren't you?" Riley asked as Steve nodded
"You guys don't have to be in this" Steve said as Sam looked down for a moment before looking up
"So when do we all start?"
Bucky slowly made his way into the museum of Captain America.. It felt weird with so many people around him.
Soon he found Mary's exhibit and stood there for a second as the memories were coming back to him slowly.. Mary Hunter.. The first love of his life.
How he could wish to go back and just see her one more time.
He went towards his exhibit and started listening to the male talk about him..
James Barnes.. That was him?
Soon there was an older woman and a woman who looked like his age looking at the tribute for him and the younger girl smiled
"What a hero" She whispered and the older woman nodded and was reading about Bucky and the younger woman sighed
"I wish he survived, he had a whole life ahead of him" She said as the older woman shook her head
"Connie, he died for his country and helping Captain America he did what he needed to do" The older woman said as the name struck his mind for a moment it was like he heard that name before..
Connie.
He wanted to go over to the woman and ask her if she knew him but it would be embarrassing and odd since his face was literally on the exhibit.
But he wanted to see this woman again..
Connie.
"Are you sure about this?" S.J said nervously as he looked over at the older woman and younger woman in front of him as they were talking and Natasha smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him in with a few kisses
"You'll be fine S.J, if anything they'll think you're crazy and all you can do is watch them from the side" Natasha encouraged as S.J sighed doubting himself for a moment until Natasha looked at him and intertwined their fingers together
"I'll be on the sidelines watching, I won't leave you" She whispered as he sighed and nodded for a moment before they let go of each other and he made his way to the women and was in front of them
"Hello." He said as the older woman looked over and smiled
"Oh hi! I think I've seen you before" She said as S.J nodded and smiled a bit
"I do.. I have a question for you, You know Captain America is over 90 years old correct?"
"I believe so" She said as S.J was nervous thinking of his next few words
"What if I can tell you that this happened to me as well?"
"Well I would believe you since it was done before" The woman nodded at the younger woman and S.J relaxed a bit but was still tense
"What if I told you that we were related?" He asked and the older woman was tense for a moment before nodding
"I would believe you, my adopted father said that I was given up as a baby" Sarah-Jane said before looking at her daughter who looked confused for a moment
"My name is Steven-James Rogers" S.J stuck out his hand and Sarah-Jane stuck out her hand as well taking his hand and shaking it
"My name is Sarah-Jane Harris, My daughter Connie Harris" She pointed to Connie who just gave a polite smile and S.J smiled at his granddaughter
"Well, I have a few things to tell you two then" He said and opened his mouth to speak.
Natasha was watching from the sidelines at first looking at Sarah-Jane and Connie speaking to S.J, a few moments later Sarah-Jane covered her mouth as she couldn't believe something S.J was saying before there were tears in her eyes. Natasha was about to step in and drag S.J away until she saw Sarah-Jane throwing herself at S.J as she was sobbing and soon there were tears in S.J's eyes as he held his daughter close to him as they were both crying. Connie was shocked but a few moments before S.J let go of Sarah-Jane and Connie stood there before bringing her grandfather into a hug.
Natasha couldn't help but smile as S.J after all these years was reunited with his daughter, one of the main women in his life was back and although Sarah-Jane was never going to meet her mother she would be able to visit Janet, her aunt and the other Snakes.. Natasha herself would meet Sarah-Jane and although she was younger than Sarah-Jane she couldn't wait to bond with the woman.
She sat there thinking for a moment, S.J would probably want children later in life since missing out on Sarah's life and he would expect Natasha to be able to have children but she couldn't.. She knew it would be discussed later and she didn't know how S.J would take it but one thing for sure was that S.J loved her no matter what and she would always stick besides him.
Author's Note:
The end of the Winter Soldier Storyline!
Connie (From the movies) Was shown in the movies as Bucky's date to Howard's floating car show and we don't know her fate after and I thought for a long time and I had another OC but to me Connie was pretty amazing and this Inhuman Time Traveling storyline will fit perfectly since she will be traveling back in time with S.J and Nat and will meet Bucky/James ad will fall in love.
Sarah-Jane Harris/Rogers (The Daughter of S.J and Alice) is portrayed by Helena Christensen (Look her and Colin O'Donoghue they look somewhat alike) S.J is portrayed by Colin also.
Connie Harris is portrayed by Jenna Coleman.
Now we head into our mini story and then Age of Ultron!
