Stars and Stripes: Amelia Rose Rogers

Mine

Time skip: Now on tour as “Captain America”
It was raining outside I walk up to Steve as he sits with his head down the rain drops dripping on him slightly, I sit down next to him on the edge of the stage. He just did a show for the troops and let's just say it didn’t go well “the show went well I see” I say trying to joke “okay smartass” he says and closes his jacket more covering the captain America costume I look down a chimp in a Captain America costume on a unicycle I heard Peggy walking over “That was quite a performance.” she says and I turn looking at her. “Yeah, I... had to improvise a bit. The crowds I’m used to are usually more...twelve.” Steve says and I lean back against the support on the stage starting to block out their conversation thinking maybe too much. I haven’t heard from James since the last letter maybe he’s busy but would still write me but he did say he couldn’t say much. My brain stops completely when I heard what Peggy and Steve were saying “Schmidt was moving a force through Azzano. 200 hundred men went up against them, less than fifty came back. Your audience contained all that’s left of the 107th. The rest were killed or captured.” she says and I freeze “The 107th?” Steve asks “Yes, What?” She responds and I stand up walking at a fast pace in the rain getting soaking wet my heart in my stomach. I walk into the tent where I see Colonel Phillps signing letters “I need one name I don’t care about the others, Sergeant James Barnes from the 107th.” I say as Steve barrels in, Peggy coming in behind him. “Well, if it isn’t “the star-spangled man with the plan.” What is your plan exactly?” Colonel Phillps says and I roll my eyes I needed to know that's it. “Azzano. I want to see the casualty list” Steve says and I look at him. “You don’t get to give me orders, “Captain.” Phillips says and I bite my tongue letting Steve do the talking “I don’t need the whole list. Just one name. Sergeant James Barnes from the 107th.” Steve says and I look at Phillips “You and I are going to have a conversation later that you won’t enjoy-” Phillps says to Peggy “Just tell me if he’s alive, sir.  B-A-R" I start to spell his name losing my patience “Don’t spell at me, girl” Phillips says and I was about to lose it “I’ve signed more condolence letters today than I’d care to count. But the name does sound familiar. I’m sorry.” He says and I suddenly feel sick my face going pale. Everything stopping and I can no longer hear them. I walk out of the tent letting the rain hit my face. I glance at the map on the wall and plant it in my memories. I grab my bag putting supplies in it when I see Steve Walk up and start doing the same “It’s not just your fight it’s mine too” Steve says and I put my bag in the back of the jeep and walk back to him as Peggy walks in “what do you two plan to do, walk to Austria” She says “if that’s what it takes.” Steve says and I look at her “we can’t just leave them they could be alive. He could be alive Peggy.” I say my voice creaking slightly but I clear my throat covering it up “You heard the Colonel, your friend is most likely dead.” She says and I look at her my eyes watering slightly “you don’t know that” I say and get in the passenger side of the jeep ignoring what else she has to say. I heard they're footsteps follow me out and looking over my shoulder listening to Steve “You told me you thought I was meant for more than this. Did you mean that?” he asks her and bonce my leg slightly my thoughts coming back again. No. Stop it. He’ll be fine. I tell myself “Peggy with all due respect you can’t stop us from going” I say looking at the respect in her eyes she steps to the side looking at us “No, but I can help”
Time Skip: In a plane in the sky
I sit next to Steve my head still spinning as I look at Peggy my hair still damp. I felt cold shaking slightly, the parachute on my back “The Hydra camp is in Kransberg, tucked between two mountain ranges. It’s a factory of some kind.” Peggy says giving us a brief, I nod along listening but also not. My mind replaying memories like there's no stopping it.
Flashback: when we we’re 16
We were sitting down by the water on a blanket in silence watching the sunset on the water when he looks over at me and i feel him staring “what? Do I have something on my face?” I ask with a smile looking over at him “No you’re just so beautiful I can’t look away” he says and I chuckled slightly and lean my head on his shoulder and he puts his arm around me for the first time. My heart flutter my cheeks flashing red for a second. He chuckles looking at me “did I make you blush, Rosie?” he says and pulls away brushing a strand of hair away from my face his eyes full of affection is this what love feels like I think to myself as he places a hand on the nape of my neck leaning in as I slowly tilt my head to the right and he gently kissing me on the lips. He is the best thing that’s ever been mine
Flash forward: 2:30am in the morning age 22
“I can’t do this anymore James!” I say and run out crying slamming the door behind me everything being too much for me everything was slipping right out of our hands. My breathing heavy as I watch him follow after me grabbing my arm stopping me “Rosie don’t do this we can fix this we belong together” he says gently cupping my face so I'm looking at him “I only know goodbye so if you’re going to leave just do it” I say looking in his eye's tears falling down “I'll never leave you alone.” he says pulling me closer “I remember how we felt sitting by the water. And every time I look at you it's like the first time” he says “I fell in love with you Ameilia Rose Rogers and you’re stuck with me” he says gently and the butterflies come back
End Flashback:
A loud Bam hits and the plane lurches left. The anti-plane weapons hammering the plane I stand up Walking to the door “take him all the way” I say and open the door jumping out of the plane. “Mia!” I hear Steve yell and the parachute deploy. I land on the ground Steve not far behind “Are you crazy?!” he yells at me leaving the parachute on the ground as I start to walk to the base “Like you weren’t thinking it!” I yell back and turn around looking at him “I can’t lose any more people, Steve. I can’t” I say and turn back around “Amelia...” Steve says his tone softer “we’ll find him and you won’t lose me... I promise...” He says grabbing my arm and gently turning me around “you don’t know that” I say looking at him with tears in my eyes and pull out of his grip. Wiping my eyes and grab my gun off the ground walking quietly to the base. Steve doesn’t say anything else as he follows me. I duck down behind a tree as a big vehicle drives by.
