1933

"Bucky you get here right now before I beat you into the next century!" I yell out storming out of my room, before I even give him a chance to answer I burst into his room "why the hell is all my homework made into paper aeroplanes and outside?!" he turns round from his window one paper plane still in his hand ready to throw. "sorry sis thought it was scrap paper, I'll help you pick it all up" he says trying to hide his smile "no you will pick all of them up, seriously buck you're 16 why are you still playing like a child" I state pointing a finger at him. He holds his hands up in surrender "well at least I'm not the actual child" he says leaving the room, I shake my head at him "just because I'm twelve doesn't mean I'm a child!" I yell down the stairs at him.

1941

"and with this, America is now at war with Germany" the radio says, I listen in to the broadcast with both Steve and Bucky. I sigh sadly, I get up and go to my room to pack my bag. It would be only a matter of time before I had the call telling me to head to one of many bases, I was in the army I was an assistant to officers who trained the new recruits. I was on a break at the moment but with war declared it would be all hands on deck. "hey sis" I hear from the door, I turn to see Bucky standing there Steve just behind "I'm gonna be real sad when you go" he sighs coming over to hug me. "don't worry buck I won't be on the battle fields I'll be as safe as I could be" I say hugging him back.

Apparently the call I was waiting for only took a week, so here I was standing at the front door saying goodbye to my brother and best friend, "bye sis, I'll see you soon" bucky says hugging me. "please don't enlist, it would kill me to lose you in the field" I say pulling away from the hug, "I'll try" he smirks me now knowing he would enlist as soon as I left. I go to hug steve "that goes for you too, I know you hate bullies but this is one fight me and buck may not be there for okay" I say looking his in the eyes, "I know I can do it (Y/N), just because I'm small" he argues "steve you may be 90 pounds and 100% of that is good intent, but please don't I don't want to lose my best friend as well". He nods his head looking at the ground "okay (Y/N), for you" he sighs, he glances up at me slightly before giving me a half-hearted smile.

I was holding back the tears as I collected the mission report for my officer who had been tasked with writing the letters to inform the loved ones of those in the 107th. One of those letters was addressed to me, informing me about my brother's assumed death. I approached the tent my officer was in and passed his the report before excusing myself, I went and sat in the tent I was sleeping in. I watched as all the other soldiers and officers went about their day, while I sat here crying over bucky. While watching the camp I saw peggy and a tall blonde male enter the tent my officer was in, the male seemed distraught and agitated as he once again stormed out of the tent. It was then that I saw his face and my jaw dropped, I made my way over to catch him up "steve?" I call out. He turns and I see the face that I never expected to see at this camp "(Y/N)?" he ask, he breaks into a smile and jogs over before hugging me tightly "(Y/N)! It's so good to see you, I missed you!" he say happily. I pull out of the hug and examine him "what happened to you? You're so tall and big" I say shocked "I joined the army and took part in an experiment to make me the first super soldier" he explains. I then proceed to punch him in the arm as hard as I could "you idiot! I told you not to join the army!" I yell at him "and to top it off, you let a scientist use you as a lab rat! You could have been killed!" he rubs his arm while I begin to let tears well up "I can't lose you as well" I mutter. He notices my tears and pulls me into a hug resting his head on top of mine "(Y/N) I'm sorry about bucky, I'll do whatever I can to make this right".

And he did, he saved bucky and formed the howling commando's. I watched on as he took hydra base after hydra base, but also as he got closer and closer to peggy. I always saw steve as a friend, but I did secretly have a crush on him as well when we were little. I thought it went away as we got older and I had other boyfriends, but steve was always there for me when they went south. Now seeing him with someone else did kill me a little bit inside, but as long as he was happy I was. I was currently in a control room in London passing round reports from officer to officer, while walking around the base I saw him again head hung low. When his eyes caught mine I could easily see the tears he was trying hard to supress. I quickly passed on the report I had in my hands before making my way over to him "steve, what's wrong? What happened?" I ask placing a hand on his arm. He shook his head slightly not making eye contact before he guided me to an empty corridor, "(Y/N), I'm so sorry" he starts. My mind begins to whir as I think of all the things he could be about to say, none of them were as bad what he actually said. "bucky, he fell from the train and I couldn't save him, he.... He fell and.... Died because I couldn't reach out far enough" steve stutters through his tears. A hand goes to my mouth as tears begin to fall down my cheek "(Y/N), I sorry I tried I really did" he apologies pulling me into a hug. I bury my head in his chest and cry as he hides his face in my neck as I also feel the wetness of his tears.

1945

I had been released from the army indefinitely due to emotional stress, steve had died saving us all. When the war finally ended I didn't really celebrate as I had nobody to celebrate with, the war had taken my brother, and my best friend, the person I loved.

1946

I had gotten back to my normal life as best as I could, I got a job at a café since I couldn't re-join the army. I was walking back from work late one night, I had taken the fastest route home which involved some dodgy alleyways so I should have known better. I was walking done one that was darker than the others, glancing back whenever I heard a sound but saw nothing to accompany it. I had just made it back onto the main street when I felt someone grab me pressing a cloth to my face, making me lose consciousness. I woke in a strange room not aware of where I was. Before I had a chance to work it out two masked figures came into the room and grabbed me, I tried to fight as they shoved me into a metal box. I heard it lock and felt the temperature begin to drop rapidly as I began to freeze.

2009

"hello miss, glad you're awake" a voice said as I slowly woke again, free of the metal box. "my name is nick fury, can you tell me what your name is?" the voice asked, I look over to see a bald man with an eye patch sat next to my bed. "(Y/N) Barnes, where am i?" I ask my voice sore and raspy as I spoke. "I think a better question would be when, welcome to 2009 miss barnes" he say pointing out the window. I follow his finger to see tall skyscrapers dominating the view, "how? This can't be real" I stutter. " we found you on a mission in Serbia, the base had been abandoned apart from you. Agent Romanoff will be helping you accommodate to the 21th century" nick says before standing up and leaving as a red head walks in "hi I'm Natasha Romanoff" she say.

2012

I stood in the local cemetery going to place flowers on steve's parent graves like I did after he died. I stood there for a while thinking of steve and bucky and how much I missed them, wiping away some tears I move away from the graves to sit at a nearby bench. I watched as morning loved ones visit the graves of family and friends placing flowers before leaving again. One person caught my attention more than others, he walked over to steve's parents grave before placing two sets of flowers down. Curious as to who he was I decided to go over and ask how he knows them "so how come you know the rogers then?" standing slightly behind the stranger, he sighs "family relation, how about you?" he ask not turning round. "this is going to sound insane but I was best friends with their son, I put flower down every week for him since he died in the war" I sigh gazing down at the floor. "(Y/N)?" he says turning round, I look up to see the face I never thought I would see again "steve..." I gasp frozen to where I am "is it really you?" I ask. steve nods his head slightly also frozen in his spot "I thought you were dead" I cry launching myself into his embrace, his arms immediately wrap themselves around me tightly as he buries his head in my neck. "the ice froze me, they only just found me" he explain, I continue to cry with tears of happiness into his chest "I never got to tell you I love you" I say letting the words fall out of my mouth before I can stop them. "what?" steve asks pulling away to look me in the eyes, "I love you steve, always have but I was too afraid to tell you" I explain. I watch as a smirk plays on his lips before those said lips placed themselves onto mine "I've always loved you too (Y/N), and I'm so glad I get a second chance to tell you"
