He looked at his right wrist with such sorrow thinking that he will never meet his soulmate, unless the universe knew something that he didn't.

Then he felt someone come into the room, but he did not look up as he was to fixated on his mark. He wanted to know if it was like a genie in the bottle and that if he rubbed it, his soulmate would come to him.

"What are you looking at punk?" Said a deep voice from behind him.

Steve Rogers looked behind him to see his best friend since childhood James Buchanan "Bucky" Barns coming up to him. Buck was basically Steve's opposite in every which way, he was tall and handsome and healthy and had a personality that drew in the girls.

"I'm just looking at my soul mark." Steve said gloomily

Bucky knew that his best friend felt cheated on his soulmate as she wouldn't be born for another forty years. And Steve knew that Bucky understood him as his soulmate was born in September of 1979, about ten months before his soulmate.

"Maybe there will be some time travel involved when you two finally meet each other." Bucky suggested as he rubbed his soul mark.

Bucky couldn't let Steve in on how he felt, he had to be strong for the most stubborn weakling that he had ever known.

"Maybe." Steve replied with a sigh.

Steve wanted to do some good in the world, be a better person and show his soulmate that me may not be physically strong, but he was good.

Steve, at the age of 21, finally got into the US Army under the guise that he would get a serum that would make him taller and stronger. Dr. Abraham Erskine was at the recruitment office Steve was at and said that he would get Steve in if he joined in an experiment. Steve agreed just because he wanted to join the Army and get out of the US to do some good. Steve even kept his soul mark hidden from everyone with ladies makeup so he wouldn't get made fun of for it because of the date.

Everyone in charge knew why Steve did it, but never said anything as it was his business and not theirs. Dr. Erskine was the only one who knew Steve's soulmate's name just incase something happened. Dr. Erskine knew that if Steve were to die there would be a chance that his soulmate would get some one else.

The sounds of a baby crying filled the hospital room and her mother sighing in physical relief of the pain that she when through. Lily and James Potter had just welcomed their second child and first daughter Holly Jasmine Harriett Potter. They already had a son about a year and a half ago by the name of Charlus James Fleamont Potter. Then Holly's soul mark appeared on her tiny right wrist for all to see.

July 4th, 1920

James and Lily became worried as they were both told that Captain Steven Rogers was MIA and presumed dead after he had hit the ice in World War 2. James's father, Charlus, was a friend of Steve's and told them stories about Steve and his Soulmate Holly Stark. James always wanted to name his first daughter after Holly Stark as his father told him that Holly disappeared after Steve hit the ice.

The story about Holly was, she appeared just before Steve Rogers saved all those men from HYDRA and disappeared just after Steve took a nose dive. The reason why it was said that she appeared as Holly was a witch who had a time traveling spell placed onto her by her grandfather. Charlus told his son that it was rumored that Holly's grandfather did that when he saw her mark so she could be with her soulmate. He apparently also added a spell of his own creation that froze her at the age that he had hit her with the time spell and it would only disappear when she got back to her time.

August 2nd, 1980

James and Lily stayed at St Mungo's for another day and a half as the healers didn't like how Holly's breathing sounded. And by the time they did get home, they saw that their old headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, waiting for them at their door. Since getting married back in '78, James and Lily wanted their own space, so James's parents gave them their empty rental property. They were really grateful as they didn't really want to go house hunting just to end up back at the manor or a small apartment.

"Take Holly and go inside." James said

Lily nodded and went inside to put the baby down for her nap.

"What do you want?" James said angrily to Dumbledore.

James knew that Albus was not that nice of a guy and he manipulated people to do what he wanted. Charlus had him removed from his government seats because of his manipulation tactics over lawmakers. He was still trying to get Dumbledore removed from Hogwarts, but the school board was more worried about Death Eaters getting into the school than Albus Dumbledore.

"I'm here with concerning news." Albus said calmly

"What news?" James asked

"There is a prophecy that concerns your daughter and Neville Longbottom." Albus said

James knew his family was safe as there was many charms up to keep people away, well they were supposed to.

"Like I'd believe that." James said

James started to go into his house when Dumbledore stopped him.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him or her as his equal, but they will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..." Albus said

This shocked James to his core.

"You could have made that up. This all could have been an elaborate ruse for us to do your bidding again." James said

James and Lily only spent seven months in the Order of the Phoenix before leaving and taking Remus Lupin and Sirius Black with them. All four of them had plans on fleeing to America as Voldemort as growing in power, mainly fear based power. But hearing this, James was certain that they needed to leave the country.

November 2nd, 1981

It's been a year and a half since that fateful August night with Dumbledore at the door wanting to talk with them. They needed to get away from Voldemort and that damn prophecy and advised Alice and Frank Longbottom to do the same but they didn't leave. Lily and James did end up moving to America, to New York really, like planned to get away from everything over there. They ended up buying a four bedroom, four and a half bath penthouse apartment in a wizards only building.

They ended up living next door to the Stark's who own the only other penthouse and apartment on their floor. Sirius and Remus followed the Potter family about a month after they moved and begun renting an apartment in the same building. They didn't bring Peter because the last thing James did in England was expose Peter as a Death Eater which got him arrested and thrown in Azkaban. He wanted to do that so his family could be completely safe from the war and not be targets for Voldemort.

This morning, James had gotten a letter from Kingsley Shacklebolt, someone whom he had kept in contact with, had told him that on Halloween Frank and Alice were killed. Kingsley also said that yesterday morning Death Eaters had come looking for him and Lily as to find out where their lord was. Because apparently, when Voldemort tried to kill little Neville, it failed, bounced back onto him and killed him instead. Kingsley had said the Voldemort had believed that Dumbledore's prophecy was real even though it was never logged with the correct people in the ministry.

They almost killed the muggle family that was living there when they couldn't find the Potter's anywhere on the property, even the basement. James had felt really bad for what happened to Frank and Alice, but the safety of his family was a small victory in for itself. Kingsley had written last year that when he walked into Dumbledore's office to hand him something, he had heard him grumbling something. And all he could make out was, stupid Potter's ruining my plans and all my hard work.
