So you think you know who I am, well you only know half the story. My life has always been hard, I mean come on. I'm the daughter of the great Captain America and my mother was the famous Black Widow. So as you can guess I had so much to live up to. But somehow even from the age of 6 I was able to cope, most of the time. Well I'm going to stop babbling now and just let you read what happened on you own. Let's start from the beginning, 16 years ago, the day it all started. --------------------- Clints P.O.V. 9AM It's been a week since Natasha and Steve were declared dead. In that week Emma has been staying with us at the mansion but that can't be her permanent home, it's not safe. Today is their funeral and the mood in the mansion is horrible. To make things worse I haven't seen Emma since breakfast and we're going to leave for the cemetery soon. "Jarvis, do you know where Emma is?" "Sir, Miss Emma seems to be in the hall of fame" I sighed before making my way down there.
When I got down there I could see Emma sat in front of her Parents statues with her knees up to her chest. She was wearing a black dress, ¾ leggings, a black shirt jacket, her Cap necklace and a pair of ugg boots. Her long golden hair is just naturally laying on her back. I walked up to her and jumped up so I was sitting next to her. Before I could speak she said quietly "Is always going to hurt this much?" I looked at her and saw tear marks on her cheeks, I looked back at the statues and said "For the next few months. Yeah it's going to be painful. And do you know what you do with all that pain? Shall I tell you where you put it?" "Where" I picked up her hand and said "You hold it tight... Til it burns your hand. And you say this -- no one else will ever have to live like this. No one else will ever have to feel this pain. Not on my watch" she smiled slightly as she recognized what I said, she then said "Dad said that to me once" "I know, that what he said to your mom when they first met" she looked up at me and said "Is it time to say goodbye" "You never have to say goodbye, not really. Your parents will always be with you in your heart, and I know that will be over you. Watching you grow. So wipe those tears, put on a brave face and show people just how strong you can be" I jumped up and held my hand out. Emma wiped her eyes before taking my hand and jumping off the other statue. Together we walked outside to the cars.

Emma's P.O.V.- After the funeral
After the funeral everyone went back to the Mansion for the wake. There are loads of people here I don't know but apparently we're good friends to Mom and Dad. We've been here for just over an hour and I've spent most of that time sitting on a window ledge reading a book I found lying around. I briefly looked up and saw the guys talking to a guy with an eyepatch, Bruce turned his head to look at me but I quickly looked back at the book. I read for a little more before I heard a deep male voice "Hey Kiddo, What you reading?" I looked up and saw the guy with eyepatch standing near me. I then closed the book and said "One of Bruce's Biology books I found on a table" it was a really thick book that a doctor would own. He then said "You understand what's in there" "Most of it. It's interesting" "Do you know who I am, Emma?" I reopened the book and started reading again before saying " You're Nicholas J Fury, Director of SHIELD. You're the one that brought the Avengers together" he looked at me with a shock yet impressed look on his face. I smiled at him before saying "My parents made sure I knew who to go to if anything happened to the Avengers. They trusted you" He crouched down next to me before saying "Yes they did. They also asked me and the other avengers to look after you if anything happened to them. Emma, I watched your parents fall in love and watched their skills grow. I had the pleasure of working alongside them for a long time. I'd like pleasure of training you to the standard of your parents. Maybe one day you could take up one of there mantels" I closed the book once again before saying "They've only been gone for a week. I need time to get used to life without them before I start training" He pulled someone from his pocket and handed it to me whilst saying "Perfectly understandably. When you're ready give me a call. One day you could be one of the best" I took it before saying "Thank you Director Fury" he gave me a small smile before getting up and walking away.
It was a few hours before everyone went home, So I could finally come out of hiding. I found the everyone else sitting in the lounge. I handed Bruce his book back before sitting on the couch next to Tony, I put my head down on his lap before Bruce said "Emma did you read all of this" "No, I got to page 432. Even then I skipped things i didn't understand" Tony started stroking my hair before saying "You never stop impressing us Kid" "Your job is to save the world. Mine is to keep you in your toes" I then let out a big yawn. I heard Clint let out a small laugh before saying "Looks like it's time for the littlest Avengers to go to bed". I held up my right arm and then I heard him come over before he scooped me up in his arms. I rested my head on his shoulder and said "Can I sleep in Mom and Dads room" "Of course, Sweetie. Say good night to the other" "Night" one by one they responded before Clint started walking. The next thing I knew I was being placed onto a very soft mattress, Clint gently placed the duvet over me before quietly saying "Sweet dream Emma" the door then closed and I fell asleep feeling like I was snuggled up with my parents.
