Runaway ~ Steve Rogers x OC

Chapter 1 | Part 10

May 10th, 2015

Aurora had been in Hampstead for two days now. She had used her new laptop and hacked into the Stark Industries server and found out that everybody was coming into the city by the end of tomorrow and her funeral would be held in five days. 

So today she was going to go visit her Aunt Peggy. Aurora had an extra cloaking disguise from S.H.I.E.L.D. that was configured to Jennifer Walter's face.

Aurora had imagined Jennifer Walters as a mix between Jennifer Lawrence and Jennifer Aniston because they were her favourite Jennifers in Hollywood.

Aurora put on a button-up shirt, blazer and skirt. Then she just put on some flats and left her house. 

The nursing home wasn't too far from Aurora's house. It was a 10-minute drive. Before going to the Nursing Home, Aurora went to a cafe that was across the street from the nursing home and got some coffee. 

"Hi, how can I help you?" The lady at the desk of the nursing home said. "Hi, I'm Jennifer Walters. I'm here to visit Ms. Peggy Carter." Aurora said with a fake but believable British accent. 

"What's your name, Ma'am?" The lady asked. "Jennifer Walters. I'm Ms. Carter's lawyer we need to discuss stuff about the death of her goddaughter Ms. Stark." Aurora told the woman. 

"Ah yes. Ms. Carter told us you would be visiting soon. It's very sad how Ms. Stark died. Very sudden." The woman commented typing something on her computer. "Yes. Very shocking. How is Ms. Carter doing today?" Aurora said steering away from the topic of her 'death'. 

"She's doing very well today but you know how it goes. Oh. That's strange." The lady commented making Aurora tense up. "Is something wrong?" Aurora asked. 

"Ms.Carter has requested to turn off all audio and visuals of her room whenever you visit." The lady said. "We talk about classified information about the Avengers Initiative as well as S.H.I.E.L.D. that's probably why," Aurora answered. 

"Very well. I assume you know your way to her room?" The lady asked looking up with a smile. "Yes. Thank you for all of your help, Ma'am." Aurora said politely and walked towards the elevator. She pressed the 3rd-floor button and then walked to the end of the hall towards her aunt's room. 

"Ms.Carter, can I come in?" Aurora asked knocking on the door. "Come in!" Peggy said from her room. 

Aurora took a deep breath and opened the door. Her aunt was sitting on her bed and reading a book. 

Aurora looked at the camera in the corner of the room and saw that it was turned off. 

"Aunt Peg it's me," Aurora said in her normal voice and pressed a button on the corner of her forehead to get rid of the cloaking device. 

"Aurora? Thank god I thought you really died," Peggy said with tears in her eyes. Aurora nodded and walked over to Peggy and hugged her gently. 

"I'm not dead. At least not yet." Aurora said pulling away. "Don't say that. You'll live the longest out of everyone." Aunt Peggy chided. "Sorry," Aurora said wiping her eyes. 

"I like your hair," Peggy commented with a smile. "It's different. But it's growing on me. I did it in a sketchy motel." Aurora told her aunt. "Do you like being away from everything?" Aunt Peggy asked. "You know it's actually fun. I'm not constantly looking over my shoulder and it's like a huge weight has been taken off of my chest." Aurora explained. "But there are some downsides..." Aurora added sadly. 

"Are you going to stay in Hampstead?" Peggy asked. "I don't know. I'm gonna try to do something productive. I know for a fact there's going to be a lot of stolen tech from the battle and a lot of the old stark tech is popping up on the Blackmarket so I might do some stuff there." Aurora told her. 

The two talked for a bit steering away from the topic of her family until Aurora had to finally ask. 

"Have you talked to Tony or Steve?" Aurora asked quietly. "I have. They're both grieving and mourning in their own ways. You know how your brother is always blaming himself for stuff that isn't his fault and Steve's just pushing everyone away. He did the same thing after what happened to Barnes." Aunt Peggy told Aurora. 

"How are you holding up Aurora?" Peggy asked. "What?" Aurora asked confused. "You had to leave your whole life and your loved ones. How are you feeling?" Aunt Peggy asked and Aurora broke. 

She had been trying so hard to ignore all of her feelings about leaving that she just exploded today. Aurora cried for who knows how long. 

"What if I crash my own funeral?" Aurora asked after calming down. "That seems like a good idea but there is going to be security everywhere." Aunt Peggy said laughing at the idea. Then she yawned and Aurora knew she was about to lose her aunt. 

"I think it's time I leave. Old women like you need to rest." Aurora teased. "Oh for god's sake you people and your old jokes," Peggy said rolling her eyes.  They are the best jokes ever." Aurora defended. 

"Get some rest, Aunt Peg," Aurora said hugging her Aunt. "You too darling. You and your brother worry me." Peggy said. "That's a Stark Trait. Worrying Peggy Carter is our specialty." Aurora said. 

"You're not wrong about that. Love you, darling." 

"Love you too Aunt Peg." 

As Aurora stood up to leave she heard her Aunt start coughing behind her. She quickly made her way toward her aunt and poured her a glass of water so she could drink it. While her aunt was focused on drinking her water Aurora quickly put her cloaking disguise back on just in time. 

"Oh, Ms. Walters when did you get here?" Peggy asked clearing her throat. "I just got here Ms. Carter. I'm here to discuss your will in regards to your God-Daughter Ms. Aurora Stark's death." Aurora said with a British accent. It took everything in her to keep up her facade. 

"What do you mean death? She's still alive." Peggy said with a frown. "Ms.Carter your god-daughter passed away on May 6th during the Battle of Sokovia," Aurora told her slowly so she could understand. "Oh god." Peggy trembled. 

Aurora gave Peggy a couple of minutes to pull herself together and then started the process of getting her will fixed. 

Hours Later

After leaving the Nursing home Aurora got the idea to find where Bucky Barnes was hiding. She would find him and get him back to Steve and she would get rid of all former Stark Weapons. That was something Aurora would do until the world needed her.
