The wind blew a gentle, sweet-smelling breeze across my face as I walked out onto the balcony of the Avengers compound. I took a deep breath of the familiar New York City air. I turned, hearing footsteps behind me. It was my adoptive father, Steve Rogers.
"Hey, Dad." I said.
"You okay, kid?" He replied.
"Yeah. I-," I stopped, taking a shuddering breath. "I miss him."
He put his arms around me and tears began trickling down my face.
"It's going to be okay, Y/N. I'll always be here for you, I promise."

I heard footsteps running down the hallway, just as I'd expected. Steve and my adoptive mother, Natasha Romanoff, were first to come running in, with my boyfriend, Bucky Barnes, right on their heels. Before they could reach me, darkness rushed up and enveloped me in the warm, welcoming embrace of its arms.

Hello! This was chapter 1! Sorry it so short...
