When Athena came out of the ice, she was greeted by Nick Fury of S.H.E.I.L.D and Immedly sent into a war with a god. Athena wonders what has become of her life. But then it calmed down again. She was settling into some form of tranquillity. Steve was sent on regular short missions to save lives. Athena occasionally joined him, but only if it was severe. Most of her time was spent buried up to the elbows in new tech.
When Fury had offered to let Athena start working in S.H.E.I.L.D, Athena had been overjoyed. She finally got to get back to working with science. The reaction of the people she was working with was also a fantastic feeling for Athena. The men were star-struck, sadly not because of her prowess. But because she was dating Captain America. The women, on the other hand, were amazed. Some of them came up to tell her that she was one of their role models and it was a complete honour to meet her.
Athena made sure that if she was ever asked to pick her team to work with. It would be the group of incredible women looked over due to their sex and not their skill, for Athena knew that many of the women should be doing far more high-level things. But since when has this life ever been fair?
