~a couple of weeks later~I walked into a bar that was falling down from an expulsion due to the war. I looked to see Steve sitting alone and drinking.
"They said the serum would affect my cells. In short term I can't get drunk." Steve said as I walked towards him.
"Well that sucks." I said as I brought a chair over. "You know it's not your fault."
"Did you read the report?" He asked.
"Yeah I did."
"Then you know that is not true."
"Steve you did everything you could. Did you believe in Bucky? Did you respect him?"
"Yes."
"Then stop beating yourself up. He wouldn't want that."
"I'm going after Schmidt. I'm not going to stop til all of hydra is dead or captured."
"You won't be alone." I said grabbing his hand.
"I just miss him so much."
"I know Steve I know. I do to."
"You know he talked about you a lot. He said he looked to you as his little sister."
"Really he talked about me?"
"Yeah he thought of you as family. How you helped him through training."
"He was a great guy. He helped me. I went through a hard time before coming to the army and he helped me. With out him I'd probably wouldn't have been here. I'd be back home in Chicago with no one."
"Chicago really? Brooklyn is better." Steve cracking a small smile
"You keep telling yourself that Steve." I smiled as he actually cracked a joke.
"He was proud of you. You know that? He said that he was proud to see that you made it to where you are. That you tried your hardest because you a had a promise to keep."
"Yeah. A promise to my father. Before I went into the army he passed. Told me to make it to Sargent and that's what I did. But Bucky helped me a lot."
"I'm gonna miss him." Steve said while tearing up.
"Me too Steve me too." I said as I got up to hug him. He hugged back. And we stand like that for a while both silently crying.

"Schmidt belongs in a bug house. Thinking he can blow up the whole world to prove he's a god. Starting with the USSF." Colonel Phillips said."Schmidt is working with powers beyond our capabilities. He gets across the Atlantic he will wipe out the entire east coast in a hour." Stark said while sitting down.
"How much time do we got?"
"About a hundred and twenty four hours." Phillips said
"Where do we need to go.?"
"The last hydra base is here. In the outskirts. Five hundred feet below the surface."
"So what are we supposed to do? It's not like we can walk up to the front door and knock."
"Why not?" Steve asks. "That's exactly what we are going to do."
~~~
"Did Steve leave already?" I asked walking up to Colonel Phillips."Yes ma'am he did. Why did he not give you a good bye kiss?"
"What-no-I-that's not what I meant. I was going to ask you if you are really letting him go out there on his own without back up?"
"No. I'm getting a team together to go out and help."
"Why was I not aware of this?" I question.
"Because your not going."
"Why? I can help."
"You could get hurt. I don't want that and I would think Steve would agree with me on that."
"Colonel please. I can't sit back while the rest of you fight."
"No-"
"Why! You have been protecting me since my parents died. You can't do that forever."
"I promise your mother, my sister that I would protect you. No matter what-"
"I understand that. But you can protect me there I need to make sure Steve is alright. Please." I stated while I cut him off.
"Fine. Get in the truck."
I smile as a thank you and walked off.
