As you crossed the street you checked behind you, the rain was coming down hard so it was hard to see but you couldn't make out any of the three girls who bullied you on a regular basis. Clutching your books you walked faster, nearing your nearly-dead grandma's apartment. Then out of the blue the largest of the three girls, Lacey, stepped out and knocked your books from your grasp. You gasp and step back reflexively.

"Aww don't worry Y/N, I'm going to dinner tonight, I can't have my knuckles bleeding from punching your pathetic little face...at least not too bad." She smirks and pushes you into a puddle. Marissa and Emmy are no where to be found so at least you only have one bully to deal with. Lacey continues to hurt you, kicking you, occasionally punching you in the face or arm. By now you know you'll have a black eye tomorrow and your lip is totally busted.

You hear footsteps echo off the building on the other side of the empty sidewalk. Lacey draws her foot back and slams it into your rib cage. You whimper and scoot away from her. The footsteps come closer and you yell for help. Lacey is quick to shut you up with a swift punch to the jaw. She continues to beat you but the footsteps are coming closer. The person rounds the corner and you realize the person as Captain America. He clears his throat and Lacey spins around.

"What's going on here? Did you girls get mugged?" You can tell he knows exactly what happened and focus stopping your bleeding lip. "Now, your not bullying this girl are you?" The Captain stares at Lacey she backs up buts my books in my arms and runs off. Captain America walks over to you and crouches down so your eye level."Hey kid, you ok?" He reaches out a hand to help you up but you know that if you stand up now you'll pass out. You nod and push a piece of wet hair out of your eyes. "It's ok, I'm not gonna hurt you." His eyes are reassuring and you forget what's happened, you take his hand and stand up but immediately feel nauseous and just as you predicted you slump forward, unconscious into the arms of Captain America.

You woke a bit later, lying on the softest couch you'd ever felt. As you sat up you pain coursed through your body. Looking around you spotted Captain America struggling to read the news on his phone.

"Ummm, excuse me? Where am I?" You asked him hesitantly. Looking up he smiled at you and replied,

"In the Avenger's tower."
You almost passed out again from shock, putting a hand to your forehead as if it could make you feel better. There was an awkward silence until the Captain broke it.

"Why was that girl bullying you?" His blue eyes find yours, and you try not to blush.

"She doesn't like that I'm smarter than her, and apparently prettier according to everyone else. Besides her possy of airheads."You roll your eyes at the last part causing him to chuckle.

"I know how you feel."

"Really? The famous Captain America?" You tease him playfully doubting he's serious. He only nods.

"Yea...and please call me Steve."

"Ok then...Steve." You then remember your grandma and you jam your hands in your pockets searching for your phone frantically. Your hands grasp the cold metal and your turn it on dialing her number. Five rings and she still doesn't answer.

"Steve? Could you take me to my apartment?! My grandma's dying and she doesn't even know where I am!" Steve nods and grabs his keys ushering you outside. Getting in the car you quickly drive to your apartment and you throw the door open when you get there.

"Grandma?!! Grandma?! Where are you?!" You rush into the living room and find her in her rocking chair. You put a hand to her wrist feeling for pulse and feel nothing. You try again this time on her neck but there is nothing. Tears fill your eyes and Steve rests a hand on your shoulder. For a while you sat and cried but then realized that the last of your family was gone.
"I'm an orphan." You whispered a new wave of tears streaming down your cheeks. Steve seemed taken aback by this and sat down beside you.

"You don't have to be." He pulled you into him and you cried on this shoulder.

"What? Why not?" You sniffled and looked up at him.

"Because I could adopt you." Steve says this casually like its no big deal that one of the world's biggest super heroes just offered to adopt you. For a while you are silent but then you finally nod your head.

"I'd like that. By the way my name's Y/N."

"Well Y/N, let's go home." He helped you up and smiled at you. It reminded you a lot of your father and you hugged him tightly before walking to his car.
