*Third Person POV*
Astryd had her time well spent with her Aunt that afternoon. Even though they talked in circles, it doesn't make her upset. For her, being with her Aunt is an opportunity to spend and lend time with her that was why she made time to travel to see and help her Aunt. She is jetlagged and it doesn't even bother her. After that, she headed to where their old house. She scours their stuff in there. Shanon and Astryd had a sister time together, reminiscing those days when their Mom and Dad were still alive.
"Sharon?" Astryd called from the hallway of their former home.
"At the kitchen!" Sharon yelled. "What's wrong?"
"You need to see this..." Astryd shouted from the room of their late parents.
Sharon immediately runs to where her young sister is. She saw Astryd holding a folder with a SHIELD logo on the cover as she get to the left side of Astryd and they both skim the pages.
"Oh, she was Veronica?" Astryd said, raising an eyebrow. "Aunt Peggy said I was similarly looked like her though yeah. I can attest." She added. "But why?"
"Of course, because she's a Carter also. Look." Sharon pointed to the name next to Veronica. "She was Dad's half-sister."
"Oh, okay." Astryd kept on skimming the pages. "But why is she related to James Buchanan Barnes...???"
Sharon took the paper from Astryd and read it. "Nope, she was barely an agent. Look..." She said pointing at the said phrase.
"Oh, and she's deceased... From... Giving birth?" Astryd furrowed at the idea of why and what was the significant connection of Veronica to Barnes and with her parents.
Sharon noticed that Astryd has a speculating feature about something. It is written on Astryd face. Seeing her younger sister with these files makes her uncomfortable with something. That is something she knew a few years ago. She fears that his perception of them as siblings may change because of the truth.
"Are you gonna help me cook dinner?" Sharon let out just to divert Astryd's attention away from what she was holding. "Coz maybe I need a hand at the kitchen." She added placing down the files.
Astryd looked up at her sister with a thought. "Ah, yeah? Sure, coz I am already starving." She said and placed the folder likewise Sharon.
Sharon took the box where the folders skimmed earlier and put it down under the bed. Astryd got out of the room first as Sharon left with an uncertain feeling that Astryd might know the truth sooner. She knew since the day Astryd was being questioned about why she is having dark hair while hers was light. Fury caught Astryd trying to take a DNA test but then also even he knew who Astryd is.
"Shaaaaa?" Astryd called, bringing back Sharon's reality.
"Gotta be there!" Sharon responded as she headed out of the room.
"You always take too long..," Astryd complained.
"I have to put things in place where you left them, Astryd." Sharon sternly said playfully.
Astryd laughed. "You sounded like Mom there again." She said pointing the spatula at Sharon. "Like really you are. You even look like her already." She added.
"Is that how to piss me off or that was just one of your unnecessary compliments?" Sharon asked.
"Hmmm... Kinda like both but more on compliments. You're still my sister." Astryd raised an eyebrow as she initiated helping Sharon with their dinner.
