As everyone started filing out of the room Steve turned to Skylar.
"Can we talk now?" He asked her. She nodded her head. Still holding his hand, Skylar leads him across the hall to have a more private conversation. As Steve closed the door, Skylar went to sit in one of the two chairs. Steve came and sat down across from her.
"I don't know where to begin." Skylar said.
"How about how you are still alive."
"That's a hard one. I don't really know."
"What do you mean?" Steve questions with a frown on his face.
"When you crashed into the ice my world collapsed. First Bucky then you, I couldn't handle it. So I turned to alcohol. One day when I was walking home, drunk. Zola kidnapped me. He has two strangers drug me and bring me to some type of lab. I don't remember much. All I remember was he would put me into a machine and it hurt like hell. From that day on I never aged." Skylar told him looking at the floor.
"How did you get out?"
"Peggy. Peggy and Phillips found me. They stormed the place I was held. Captured Zola while at it. He told them he was threatened and had to do it. I call bs on that. I always assumed he was working for the enemy. But they let him work at S.H.I.E.L.D. After they rescued me Howard let me live with him. To try and find what was wrong with me. I wouldn't let Zola anywhere near me so Howard was the best next thing. He monitored my progress. To see what is happening with me. We became really close and that's how Tony knows me. I watched him grow up." Skylar told him.
"I'm sorry that happened to you." Steve said grabbing her hand.
"It's okay. If it didn't I wouldn't be here with you." Skylar said smiling.

Steve and Skylar were walking into the lab when they saw Tony shock Bruce.
"Hey!" Steve said while walking in. "Are you nuts?"
"Jurys out. You really have a lid on, don't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?"
"Is everything a joke to you?" Steve asked Tony. Skylar couldn't help but think yes.
"Funny things are." Tony answered.
"Threating everyone's safety on this ship isn't funny." Steve turned to look at Dr. Banner. "No offense doc."
"It's alright. I wouldn't come aboard if I couldn't handle pointy things."
"You're tiptoeing big man," Tony told Bruce. "You need to strut."
"And you need to focus on the problem Mr. Stark." Steve told Tony.
"You think I'm not? Why did Fury call us in? Why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us? I can't do the equation unless I have all the variables."
