Epilogue

_______Epilogue______

Two Months Later

The uniform was sealed in a case that I only had key.The case was on the top floor of Abnormal Limits,my project to test my limits as well as others.

Steve was here a lot of the time,along with Derek and Macy.Noelle said she would like to come some time.

Abnormal Limits has really taken off.We've been up and running for two weeks.I'm still short a few people and I haven't opened up for the public.

The uniform was the main part of Abnormal Limits,it was our symbol.

It was Trickster Blade.Its who I am inside,who I have been all my life.

The Trickster.

A hero to the world.Captain America's sidekick.

Recently,I had been using the uniform more often.On days like this,I sit up here on the top floor and admire the details.

We've been going on mission more often.The other night,Natasha,Steve,and I had to save some hostages in SHEILD.

Also,Steve started running in the mornings.We are really adjusting to the new life style.

But sitting here,I remember him.

Looking at the uniform,knowing he would of teased me about it,but secretly love it.

It was a beautiful uniform.Red,White ,and Blue.

I carried two crimson swords on my back.

The actual uniform is made up of a blue dress that comes up to top my neck and is sleeveless with blue spandex leggings.A white star is on the chest.I wear a red belt that carries extra tools to use in a fight.

I wear the red mask given to me by the Support Group.I also wear red sleeves that cover my forearm,but only covered half my hand(not my fingers).

Somehow,The uniform made me think of him.Maybe because I fight for him,live for him.He was and always will be my heart.

I stare,thinking of the man I came to know and love.Him with his brown hair and blue eyes that would look into my soul.The smile that kept me going for so many years.The hands that fit perfectly in mine.His soft lips that I can still feel on mine,making my lips tingle.

I smile,letting a tear leave my eyes and roll down my cheek.I retrieve the picture of him from my pocket,smiling before kissing it lightly.I slip the picture into my wallet.

My phone begins to rings."Hello?"

"Meet me at the Hospital."Steve says,quickly hanging up.

++++++

I find him and Natasha by the vending machine.

"He-"

"Shh!"They both whisper.

"What's going on?"I ask.

"Fury's dead and SHEILD has been compromised."My eyes widen in surprise.

"Who killed him?"I ask,feeling a heavy sadness fill my body.Nick Fury had done a lot for me.

" Most of the intelligence community doesn't believe he exists, the ones who do call him the Winter Soldier. He's credited with over two dozen assassinations in the last fifty years."Natasha spills.

"So,he's a ghost story."Steve comments.

"Five years ago I was escorting a nuclear engineer out of Iran, somebody shot at my tires near Odessa. We lost control, went straight over a cliff, I pulled us out, but the Winter Soldier was there. I was covering my engineer, so he shot him straight through me."She pulls up her shirt to show us a bullet wound on the side of her stomach"A Soviet slag, no rifling. Bye-bye bikinis."

"Yeah, I bet you look terrible in them now."Steve replies.

I ignore the bikini comment."So we go after him."I say.

"Going after him is a dead end. I know, I've tried."Natasha informs me and then holds up the flash drive,turning towards Steve."Like you said, he's a ghost story."Steve takes the flash drive from her.

"Well, let's find out what the ghost wants."I remark,"But I need to know more about him.

"He's fast,strong,and has a metal arm."Steve explains,my muscles tense up and I freeze."That's all I know....Are you okay?"

"A metal arm?"I ask,"His left arm is metal?"

"Yeah..."Steve says,"How did you know?"

"Does the metal arm have a red star on it?"

"Yes."Natasha says,"Have you seen him before?"I nod.

"Where?"Steve asks.

"In a vision."I tell him,"He wouldn't hurt me."Natasha gives me a questioning look.

"Why?"She asks.

"Because I knew him."
