Trusting You - A Captain America Love Story

   "You ready for your party?" Tony, my brother, enters my assigned room in the Avengers tower without knocking, thank God I was already dressed.

     "If you mean the party that you made me do since you find any excuse to throw one, then yes, almost, I'll be down in a minute" I tell him touching up my hair.

     My brunette curls are hidden in a braided bun, only a few strands framing my face, hopefully, they won't annoy me as the night goes on.

     Tony nods and closes the door.

     This party that he's throwing is to celebrate the success of retrieving the power stone from H.YD.R.A, and that it was me who got it. I get that it was a big win, but this is just too much. I sigh taking one last look at myself in the mirror, making sure to smooth out my dark blue dress, before going downstairs. The party is being held at the Avengers tower, which is actually my new home for who knows how long.

     "There she is!" I hear my brother exclaim as everyone draws their attention to me. Great, uncomfortable.

     I smile a bit shy and walk towards him, giving him a hug sense I see cameras around us, probably press. "I thought you said this was going to be a small party," I say between my teeth keeping my smile intact.

     "It is small, this living room fits at least 150 more people" Tony says as if I'm the one talking nonsense. He hands me a glass, probably with champagne.

     "Whatever you say, Tony" I mumble and roll my eyes.

     "Miss Amelia" I hear someone say behind me. Fury.

     I turn around to face him "Director Fury" I greet him, I don't correct him though. Next to him is Steve who smiles at me, I think it's the first time he's ever done that. He's wearing a dark blue button-up shirt with black pants, his hair in place, since the last time I saw him it was a mess. I return the smile and turn to Fury.

     "You've done a splendid job retrieving the power stone. Congratulations"

     "It was the mission, Fury, I did what I had to do" I shake his hand.

     "That was actually your brother's job, but I'm glad it was you, Miss"  He says.

     "Why is that?" I question.

     "Steve, could you do the honors?" Fury motions as he steps back, Steve taking his place in front of me.

     Steve smiles "Miss Amelia Stark, we would like for you to become a part of the Avengers"

     I look into his eyes in shock.

     Me, an Avenger. Along with my brother. Saving the world. Am I capable of this? Am I good enough for this? This is another type of life. This isn't living in the shadows, completing missions without being noticed. This is becoming part of earth's mightiest heroes.

     I feel Tony's hands being placed on my shoulder "What do you say, sis?"

     I smile still looking at Steve "I'm in"

     I hear cheers around me as all the Avengers gathered to listen to my acceptance. I turn around and Nat rushes to me and gives me a hug "Glad to have another girl around". I laugh at her honesty.

     "Come to my office tomorrow morning" Fury tells me once Nat pulls away and goes to the others.  I nod and he walks away. He probably isn't the party type.

  "Welcome to the team" Steve says from his place behind me

     "Thanks, Captain" I say and look around. I see some couches where everyone is heading towards "Let's go" I tell him motioning to the others.
