All the way home Alice was thinking about Steve and what had happened, it was a little painful to leave when he just confessed his feelings for her but the thought of her friends and family cheered her up.
When she landed after 7 hours, she had the most pleasant surprise of all time. She saw the people she missed so much, her parents, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco, and of course the twins. It was all she could ask for, except one thing was missing.Him.But she will be back in no time.
She didn't have time to think anything else when two arms she missed so much, wrapped around her and hugged her tight. Only one person was able to hug her that way. Harry.
''I missed you so much little badger'' Harry whispered in her ear, using her nickname. It was a nickname that followed her all the Hogwarts years, from when they met on the train until now.
''I missed you too, all of you''.
She hugged each one of them and went to Scamander's house so they could hear her stories from the beloved New York.
It was a usual morning for Steve when he got up from bed and started running miles like it was nothing.
''Don't say it, don't say it '' The man on Steve's left said upset and to be fair he was right. It was the third time Steve was gonna say that.
''On your left''Steve said and ran away
''Come on''
The man sat with his back against a tree in one of the Washington parks, trying to get his breathing back to normal as Steve walked towards the man who had been teasing him for the past hour.
''Need a medic?''Steve asked the man
''I need a set of lungs. I mean come on man, you just ran 13 miles in 30 minutes ''The man said trying to catch his breath as Steve laughed.
''I guess, I got a little late start''
''Oh really. You should be ashamed of yourself, you should take another lap for punishment. Yea, this is your punishment.''
''What unit are you with?'' Steve asked noticing the symbol on the man's sweater.
''58-Pararescue.But now I am working down at the VA.''The man reached out his hand for Steve and introduced himself as Sam Wilson.
''Steve Rogers''
''I put that together, must have freaked you out coming home after the whole defrosting thing ''
''Well, it takes some time to get used to it'' Steve nodded his head ''It was great to meet you Sam'' and turned to leave but turned back raising his eyebrow hearing Sam's question
''It's your bed right?'' Sam asked ''Your bed it's too soft When I was over there I'd sleep on the ground and use rock for pillows, like a caveman. Now I am home lying in my bed and it's like-
''Lying on a marshmallow. Feels like I am gonna sink to the floor.'' Steve said smiling at the man he just met ''How long?''
''Two tours'' He paused for a second ''You must miss the good old days?''
''Well, things aren't so bad. The food is better, we used to boil everything, no polio and the Internet is so helpful. Then we were reading a lot trying to catch up.''
''Marvin Gaye 1972 Trouble Man' soundtrack.Everything you have missed in one album''
Steve nodded his head taking out of his pocket a little notebook Newt gave to him before he returned to England as a gift, and wrote whenever Sam said ''I will put it on the list''
Suddenly Steve's cell phone started ringing with a text from Natasha saying they had to leave for a mission.
''Duty calls''Steve said ''Thank you for the run, Sam, it was nice to meet you again''
''Anytime you wanna stop by the VA, make me look awesome in front of the girl at the front desk, just let me know'' Sam called out to Steve as a car stopped a few meters away from them. Both of them turned and saw Natasha rolling down the window to face the two men.
''Hey, fellas. Does either of you know where the Smithsonian is? I am here to pick up a fossil'' Steve laughed at Natasha's comment and climbed into the passenger seat ''Hilarious Mrs Romanof''
Sam leaned down grinning towards Nat '' How are you doing?''
''Hey''
''Can't run everywhere''
''No, you can't'' and left
...
''All right I am gonna sweep the deck and find Batroc ''Steve said ''Nat you kill the engines and wait for instructions. Rumlow, you find the hostages and get them to life-pods''
''So did you do anything fun on Saturday?''Natasha asked with a smirk on her face
''Well all the guys from the barbershop quartet are dead so... no not really,'' Steve answered.
''You know if you asked Kristen out or any other girl from SHEILD I am sure she would say yes''Natasha teased him even though she knew about the fling between him and Alice.
''That's why I don't ask''Steve said
''Too shy or too scared'' Natasha asked
''No.. too busy''
''Mmm, yea too busy waiting for a British girl to come back Natasha gave him a teasing smile.
''Exactly, I am waiting for MY girl. With one word, unavailable for other people.''Steve confessed and jumped from the plane leaving Nat, Rumlow, and the others with wide eyes.
''Was he wearing a parachute?'' One agent asked Rumlow
''No, he wasn't''
Steve landed on the ship and instantly started to fight some pirates when Natasha came next to him
''So you guys are official now?'' Natasha asked
''We haven't talked about that yet,'' Steve said feeling a little awkward speaking about his love life when every agent could hear him. ''Secure the engine room and ask me later about my love life.''
''Ohh trust me I will. Come back on one piece, otherwise, Alice would have my head.'' Steve laughed at the comment and continued with his job.
The team started to fight so they could get out of the hostages while Steve was knocked a man in an empty room. But it seemed it wasn't as empty as he expected.
''What are you doing here?''
''Backing up the hard drive, it's a good habit to get into '' Natasha answered with confidence not noticing his hard look.
''You are saving SHIELD intel''He noticed looking at the screen.
''Whatever I can get my hands on ''Natasha said.
''Our mission is to rescue the hostages''
''No you are wrong, that was YOUR mission, and you have done it beautifully.''Nat tried to walk away from him but he grabbed her arm.
''You just jeopardized this operation''Steve said with a hard tone in his voice. Before Natasha had the chance to answer, the man who was knocked out by Steve stood up, threw a bomb at them, and left running from the room.
Then Steve hit it with his shield, grabbed Natasha's hand, and ran to the other room using his shield to protect them until the grenade went off.
''Ok that's on me''Natasha told him scared.
''You are damn right ''
