Sounds familiar, who is she?

I wake up.
It's rainy outside.
How long was I asleep?
I sit up and look at my phone.
It's 11am.
Natasha has texted me: ‚What are you up to? We're in the common room, you can join us if you want.'
I text back: ‚Are you still there?'
The music is still playing.
I get up and walk in the bathroom.
My hair's a mess now.
I brush it and braid two strands to the back of my head.
The phone lights up.
A text message from Natasha:
‚Yeah we are, you wanna come?'
‚I'm on my way.' I text back and walk out of the bathroom again.
I take a hoodie out of my dresser and leave my room.
As I walk to the lifts, I put it on.

I take a lift and go to the common room.
The doors open and I walk out while I take off my headphones.
I go into the room and see Natasha, Bucky, Wanda and Steve sitting there.
„Hey Y/N." Natasha says.
„Hey." I say and sit down next to her.
„Are you alright?" Steve asks.
„Hm?"
„You look a little sleepy." he says.
„I just woke up." I respond.
„Ah ok."
I lean back and listen to them talking.
„Before I forget it, Clint comes tomorrow." Natasha looks at me.
„Barton?" I ask.
She nods.
„I look forward to meet him, again I guess."
„Clint too." she says, smiling happily.
They continued talking about some place called Sokovia.
I've heard about that place.
I'm not gonna ask questions about it, I've heard about it from the guards at Hydra. It'll be a little too obvious.
„I'm just hoping Tony won't build a robot that creates a army again." Steve says.
„Banner and him are geniuses, but even they do dumb stuff sometimes." Natasha says.
„Don't say that." Vision walks in. „They've also created me."
„I'm sorry Vision, you're a literial blessing." she says.
He sits to us, next to Wanda.
„So, what was this Ultron?" I ask.
„He was a AI created by Tony and Bruce." Wanda says. „He just couldn't tell the difference between destroying and saving the earth."
„But we could stop him." Steve says.
I nod.
Now that's interesting.
They continue talking about it.
I look outside the window.
Eventually Wanda and Vision went to the kitchen.
I guess they're going to cook.

Sharon texted me: ‚How's your Sunday going?'
I text back: ‚Pretty good but boring, I haven't done anything today but sleep and do my hair.'
She doesn't repond.
I look up again and listen to Natasha, Steve and Bucky talking.
They talk about Tony and his new suit.
„It looks the same." Bucky says.
„It does, but he explained to me that it has new more features." Natasha responses.
„Whatever that means." Steve says.
„Means more things he can brag with." she answers.
I smirk a little.
Natasha does too.
„By the way, do you have a armour or some kind of suit?" she asks and looks at me.
I look at Steve.
I don't know what happend to my clothes I wore of Hydra.
„I would know." I say and shrug.
Nat also looks at Steve.
„She does not." he says.
„I'll get you one." Natasha says.
I look at her.
„Or we give her something for her own, something individual." Steve says.
„We'll see."
She winks at me.
I smile slightly.
I still wonder what happend to my old armour, I mean I wouldn't care if they throw it away, but it would be nice if I get something similar to it.
We talked for a while.
Until Wanda calls us to the table.
„What'd you cook today?" Steve asks as we walk to the kitchen.
„Typical American dish, Hamburger." Vision answers.
„With selfmade fries." Wanda adds, smiling proudly.
We all sit down.
It's nice when everyone's just eating and talking.
I simply sit here, eating my burger and fries and listening to their conversations.
„I remember that one diner down the road we lived, they made the best burgers in the world, right Buck?" Steve says and looks at him.
„You always had a smaller one because they thought you were my nephew or something." he adds, smiling.
„It was fine with me, I couldn't eat a normal sized one." Steve responds.
I look at them laughing.
„Nowdays you sometimes eat more than Banner could as Hulk." Natasha says.
„Emphasis on sometimes." he responds.
„Keep telling yourself that." she smirks.
„You know what Romanoff?"
Steve sighs.
„Nevermind."
I smile through the whole conversation.
We finished eating.
Wanda and Vision cleared the table again and went to do the dishes.

„Now what do we do?" I ask.
"I'll call Tony and ask about ideas for a suit or armor for you." Steve replies. „You guys can decide, as long as you don't do anything stupid. I'll join later."
„Us doing stupid things? Please, Steve." Natasha says and smirks.
„I'll be back soon." he says and walks off.
Natasha looks at Bucky and me.
„Ima go to my room until Steve's back." he says.
I look at him.
„Me too." I say.
Natasha rolls her eyes.
„Well if you guys go up, Ima stay here and wait until he's back. I'll text you." she says and sits down on the couch.

Bucky and I walk to the lifts.
Noone says a word.
It's not akward or something.
I press the button for the lift.
„So you're Sharon's cousine?" he asks and looks at me.
„Yes I am." I answer.
„Do you know Peggy? Peggy Carter?"
I look at him.
„Sounds familiar. Who is she?" I ask.
„Her Aunt. I knew her, back in the 40s you know?" he responds.
„She's not alive, is she?"
„No she's not. She died some years ago."
„How old was she?"
„95."
The lift doors open.
We enter.
I press the button to our floor.
„I don't know if I ever got to meet her." I say.
„She was a great woman, independent and stubborn."
„Sounds like a strong woman."
„She was, especially for a woman in the 40s."
The door close and the lift goes up.
„So Steve knew her too, I guess?" I ask.
„Yes, he even loved her." he responds.
I look at him with wide eyes.
„Wow.. he must be very sad. I mean he still lives while she.."
„I wasn't at her funeral, at that time I was hiding. Still trying to remeber who Steve was and who I was." he says. „But he was. He also always visited her when she was alive. She was a old lady, he couldn't change the past."
„Sounds like a sad lovestory."
„It was. She was also a friend of mine. As I found out she was the one that made me one of the first S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to ever exist. I mean I was dead to them, it was after I fell off the train and became the Winter Soldier."
The doors open and we walk out to our rooms.
„So she was a founder of S.H.I.E.L.D.?" I ask.
„I suppose she was." he answers.
„You suppose?"
„I'm not sure, all I just told you is knowledge of Steve and some memories of mine."
„I'll ask Sharon about it."
„But to summarise, she was a great woman." he says.
I nod.
He was about to walk to his room.
„Bucky?" I ask.
„Hm?"
„Would you mind telling me stories from the war and Hydra and everything?"
He looks at me.
„I'll sound like some old grandpa but sure."
I smile and unlock the door to my room.
We walk in and sit down.
