*March, 2019* 

It was buckys birth month, he was born March 10th. It was past March 10th, however. Bucky and I were at the lab, i was going to have a duel with him, last time I went against everyone else but Rocket and Bucky. Rocket was there too. 

"Before we start. What's your code name, Rosie?" Tony asked 

"Just so you know, it can't be Robin or Rosie" Steve said 

"Why would she go by Robin?" Rocket asked

"That's her first name, you didn't....know that?" Steve asked 

"So her name is Robin-Rosie Rogers?" Carol asked 

"No, it's 1 name. Robin as her first, Rosie as her middle name and Rogers as her last name. Robin Rosie Rogers" Bucky explained 

"And why didn't you tell us before?" Rocket asked 

"Because I had been going by Rosie ever since high school" I said 

"That's great, but we need to get on track, your code name," Tony said 

"Oh right... Lemme think" I said, i thought long and hard. I didn't want it to be something that sounds sweet, but something thats intimidating. 

"Come on think! If you need examples take mine, Iron man. Or steve's Cap. Even Natashas Black widow, those are code names" Tony said 

"I know what a code name is" I said 

"So think!" He said 

"Im thinking, I'm thinking" I muttered, i thought a bit longer 

"Oh! I got it! How about Scythe?" I asked 

"Scythe? What kinda name is that? You don't even carry one" Rocket said 

"You don't carry rockets" I said back 

"But I have guns with Rocket looking missiles" Rocket said 

"Why don't you go for Raccoon or Y'know, Trash panda?" I joked

"Oh, you son of a-" Rocket said, pulling out a gun and pointing it at me. I stood up

"C'mon Rocket, hit me" I said 

"That's enough." Steve said 

"Fine." Rocket said stiffly, he put away his gun 

"Scythe... I like it. Dangerous, intimidating, but rolls of the tongue." Tony said 

"So...that means..." I said

"Your code name, is Scythe" Nat said
