I'll Find You

Four

I stood in front of millions as I finished off my speech. The crowd erupted in applause and everyone stood. Lights flashed everywhere and I put on my best smile. As we processed out the door the other grads cheered and threw their caps high into the air. Avery and her family all smiles and hugs as I went outside. They were like my second family.

"Your father would be very proud." Dr. Erskine says as he walks up. "We leave tomorrow at noon for Camp Leigh." I smiled and took the ticket that he handed to me. It was time.

"Dr. Kingston this is Peggy Carter." He said, as we both approached. "Agent Carter, Evelyn Kingston."

"It's nice to meet you Dr. Kingston." Carter smiles and shakes my hand. "This is Colonel Chester Phillips, he is the officer in charge of training at the camp."

"It's nice to meet you Dr. Kingston" he reaches out a hand which I gladly shake. "This way."

We walk to the training field and Colonel Phillips yells at the men to line up. We walk closer. The men all look tall and strong except for.... Bucky's friend? He makes eye contact with me and nods a little. Peggy walks along the line and when one man steps up to speak she punches him straight in the nose. She turns around and I laugh a little at the man.

"Steve Rodgers," I say as we get our break time before training in the afternoon. He turned around and tried not to make full eye contact with me. "You got in. Bucky told me..."

"I just got lucky." He said and we both smiled. "You were there when he left?"

"Um yeah, how did you?"

He lifts up a newspaper from the truck and on the front cover of New York Times is Bucky and I kissing. I smiled and touched my lips with my fingers. I still felt his kiss linger on my lips.

"You love him?" Steve asks,

"I don't know."

Over the next few weeks training and tests were ran on the men. Agent Carter and I became close friends along with Steve. Dr. Erskine and I worked out some kinks in the formula but he still hasn't taught me how to make it. Bucky had written me every now and then telling me what's happened. I sent him the cutout of our picture and apparently the world is wondering who the couple in the photograph is. We decided to not tell anyone it was us. It was silly hearing about the 'unknown couple' when a good ten people know exactly who they are.

"You're not seriously thinking of picking Rogers are you?" Colonel Phillips yells at Dr. Erskine as we sit around the breakfast table.

"I am more than just thinking about it, he is the clear choice" Abraham replies, he was right. Steve was the obvious choice.

"Steve has to be the first, he's not corrupted, he's good." I say backing up Dr.Erskine. Peggy nods and agrees as well.

"There is only one way to find out." Peggy says holding up a grenade in her hand.

_________

"Grenade!" Colonel Phillips yelled and threw the grenade against he ground. The men all scattered but Steve laid there over the grenade protecting his fellow soldiers. Colonel Phillips nodded and I smiled as we watched him get up from the ground.

I followed Dr. Erskine into the old antique building as he led the way. A wall opened up and revealed itself to bright white hallways full of people working and experimenting. "Dr. Erskine!" A voice yells from down the hall. A familiar man walks closer. His upper mustache went up with his smirk and he eyes matched the color of his shoes.

"Mr. Stark!" He shook his hand then proceeded to introduce me. "This is Evelyn..."

"Kingston." Mr. Stark said, "finished top of your class at Harvard, and Rochester. I heard your speech at your graduation. Very inspiring."
