Y/N L/N was taken at a young age by Alexander Pierce and forced to join the notorious Gang: Hydra. You were brainwashed until the age of eight...
I was running around all day making sure everything was perfect, I wanted this to be the best day for my kids. They loved performing for the public. My seniors especially loved performances because ballet company scouts often come to my shows, looking for new talent when my kids graduate the academy.
I love to spoil my students, especially during performance days. So I put together little goodie bags for after the show. Mostly full of gift cards and various electronics.
I truly don't deserve them.

"Pepper do I look okay? Is my hair okay?" I ask, spinning for her
"Y/N, you always look gorgeous." She smiles and pulls my hair over to my left side.
"You look very beautiful in that dress, Pep." I smile.
"Well it was a gift from you."
"I have good taste." I smile. "The gift bags ready to go?"
"Yup, I'll bring them out on the cart when we all meet up in the lobby with the guests."
"Perfect. Thank you. I'm gonna check the dressing rooms, show starts in thirty." I nod.
"I'll go help seat the guests." She smiles and turns.
I walk behind stage and knock on a black door, I walk in to see all my female dancers stretching. "Beautiful, ladies. You all look gorgeous."
"Miss L/N you look beautiful!" Jenna smiles and grabs my hand, twirling me. The girls all gather around me and look at my diamond jewelry, I smile as they gossip about the boys.
"Show is in twenty-five minutes. Get back stage in twenty." I smile and hurry across the stage to the boys room. I knock and wait until it's okay to enter.
As soon as I walk in, the boys start to whistle at me. "Look at her!"
"Oh stop it boys. Show is in twenty-five minutes. Do you need anything?"
"Are you an option?" One of the seniors asks.
"Okay guys, real cute." I chuckle. "Connor, let me pin that hat for you." I rush over and grab some Bobby pins, "Makeup looks great guys! We taught you well." As I was pinning Connor's hat, I reach over and wipe the extra powder off of Tim's face. "Okay, great guys. Get out here in five, I want to talk to you all."
"Thank you, Miss L/N!" They all yell as I walk out.
I walk over to the end of the curtain and peak out, seeing a huge audience. I smile as I see Steve and Bucky sitting together, both dressed in tux's.
"Y/N, all the kids are out." Pepper walks over to me.
"Perfect. Come here guys." They all gather around me, I take a moment to look at all of them. "I want you all to know how proud I am of you...you all have worked so hard since the day you arrived. And I want you to know that....the best thing that's ever happened in my life is you kids." I start to cry. The kids all grab me into a big group hug, "I love you guys. Now go dance your heart out." I kiss a few of their heads.
They all scatter around me, getting into their places.
I walk out first with my microphone, "Good Evening, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am Y/N L/N, the owner and one of many instructors here at the academy. My students and I are so proud to present to you: Giselle." I smile and lock eyes with Steve. He claps as Bucky whistles at me as I walk off.
During the entire performance I made notes on my clipboard, I made sure to add my feedback on each person with their solos.
They really did do an amazing job.
I walk back out on stage and wave at the crowd, "Thank you all for coming and supporting our production of Giselle, my students have worked very hard and are very happy on how it turned out. Please join us in the lobby for refreshments." I slightly bow.
Pepper and I both push out big carts of goodie bags for all my students, I stay by the entrance to the theatre as Pepper gathers them around. "They are all here."
"Guys...I know you want to go mingle, but I have something for you. I'm so very proud of you, you all danced beautifully." Pepper and I sort through the bags and read the names aloud, passing out over sixty bags. Each of them thank me and each of them smile and having fun.
This is why I love what I do...I love providing these kids a safe and loving environment to do what they love. Something I never got growing up.
I squeal as I am suddenly picked up from behind, pulling me out of my thoughts. "That was beautiful!" Bucky laughs and puts me down, spinning me and kissing my cheek.
"It was all the kids." I giggle.
"They have an amazing teacher." Steve walks up.
"Again, it wasn't all me. My instructors did amazing." I smile softly
"Take some credit for once in your life." Bucky lightly nudges my arm.
Steve pulls his right hand from behind his back and presents me with a bundle of red roses. "Steve...oh my god. Thank you." I smile.
"Saw them and thought of you."
"Oh yeah? How so?" I smirk.
"Reminded me of your beauty."
I hold the flowers tight as I stare up at him, I honestly could feel the tears in my eyes. "No one has ever bought me flowers before....Thank you Steve." I instantly hug him.
