I do not own Captain America in any way. I only own my OC.


"Standard tac team", Steve said, "Two behind, two across, and two coming straight at us. If they make us, I'll engage, you two hit the south escalator to the metro".

"Shut up and put your arm around me. Laugh at something I said. Madison, pretend you're texting on your phone", Natasha told them.

"What?" Steve asked.

"Do it", Natasha told him.

Steve put his arm around her shoulders and faked a laugh.

The three of them got on an escalator.

"Oh shit. Rumlow", Madison whispered to Natasha.

Natasha turned around and said, "Kiss me".

"What?" Steve and Madison asked in unison.

"Public displays of affection make people very uncomfortable", Natasha explained.

"Yes, they do", Steve said as Natasha grabbed his face and kissed him.

After Rumlow passed, Natasha turned around and said, "Not too bad".

Madison couldn't even look at the two. She started pushing past people on the escalator, trying to get as far away as possible from them.

Steve knew he couldn't call out to her with her real name, so he used to first one that popped into his head. "Piper!" he yelled. He saw Madison's shoulder's tense hearing her birth mother's name. "Nice going", Steve snapped at Natasha.

Madison got off the escalator and made her way to the entrance.

Steve caught up to her and grabbed her arm. "Take your hand off me", she snapped, "How could you let her kiss you?"

"You know it meant nothing", Steve told her.

"Are you two done having your lover's squabble? Because we need to get going", Natasha said holding up a car key.


The three of them were now on their way to New Jersey.

The tension in the truck was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

"Where did Captain America learn how to steal a car?" Natasha asked Steve.

"Nazi, Germany. And we're borrowing", he told her, "Madison, take your feet off the dash".

"Yes, dad", she snapped.

"Alright, I have a question for you two, which you do not have to answer", Natasha said, "When was the last time either of you got laid?"

"I am not discussing this with you", Madison told her.

"2 years", Steve said.

"So, since she got here, you two haven't...?" Natasha asked.

"Natasha!" Madison said.

"What? Sex is a human need", Natasha told her.

"You are so lucky I don't have my gun or bow right now", Madison said.

"Is that a threat, Baby bird?" Natasha asked her.

"Alright, enough", Steve snapped.


As the sun was setting, they pulled up to an old army base.

"This is it?" Steve asked.

"The file came from these coordinates", Natasha told him.

"So did I", Steve said.

"This was where they injected you with the serum", Madison said.

The three of them walked around the deserted army base.

"This is where I was trained", Steve said.

"Change much?" Natasha asked him.

"A little", Steve said, glancing up at a pole. He spaced out for a moment, seeing something only he could.

Madison knew the feeling.

"This is a dead end", Natasha told them, "Zero heat signatures, zero waves, not even radio. Whoever wrote the file must have used a router to throw people off. What is it?"

Steve was staring at a building. "Army regulations forbid storing munitions within 500 yards of the barracks", Steve said as they walked up to the building, "This building is in the wrong place". Steve used his shield to break the lock.

Strongest metal on earth, indeed, Madison thought.

The three of them entered the building and Steve found a light switch.

"This is the first shield base", Madison said as the lights flickered on.

They entered the office.

"There's Stark's father", Natasha said, looking at one of the photographs.

"Howard", Steve said.

"Who's the girl?" Natasha asked.

Only the love of his life, Madison thought bitterly.

Steve walked away without answering her. He walked up to a bookcase, where he felt a draft. He pulled the secret door back. "If you're already working in a secret office, why do you need to hide the elevator?" he asked.

Natasha used her device to figure out the code and typed it in.

The doors opened and they stepped in.

The elevator stopped on a floor filled with one of the first computers.

They walked up to the desk as the lights came on.

"This can't be the data point. This technology is ancient", Natasha said. She glanced down and saw a USB docking station. She took out the flash drive and plugged it in.

The computer came whirring to life.

INITIATE SYSTEM?

Natasha typed in 'Yes' and said, "Shall we play a game? It's from a movie that was really..."

"I know, I saw it", Steve said cutting her off.

A face appeared on the largest screen.

"Rogers, Steven, born 1918. Romanoff, Natalia Alianovna, born 1984. Barton, Madison Annemarie, born 1994", it said.

"Okay...that's not creepy at all", Madison said.
