Steve, Sam and Andria headed to the hotel they would stay. As they got there, Sharon Carter was about to enter, but stopped, seeing them and waited for them.

Both Steve and Sam seemed to know her and Andria knew it was because she used to live right next to Steve before S.H.I.E.L.D. got compromised.

Fury had assigned her to do so.

Andria was actually supposed to be the one looking after him, but Maria had persuaded Fury to give her a different mission and so she had been sent to Venice to gather information about a terrorist organisation.

After almost leaving her post to return because she had thought that Fury had died and after realising that it had all been a lie and S.H.I.E.L.D. was done for, Andria finally completed her mission and returned home to become an official agent.

She started working with her aunt at Stark Industries, while also going on secret missions to get HYDRA intel for Fury.

Sharon had started working for the CIA and she was still working there.

Steve seemed kind of nervous about talking to Sharon and so Andria decided to help him a bit.

As they approached the woman, Andria stepped forward with a small smile.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Sharon!" She said and Sharon nodded thankfully, as the two hugged.

"I didn't know you two knew each other," Steve said once both he and Sam had given Sharon their condolences.

"Just because you found out about my existence just a year ago, doesn't mean I didn't actually exist until then," Andria said sarcastically and Sam with Sharon smirked, while Steve rolled his eyes.

"I didn't mean that," he said, before Sharon spoke.

"We worked together back in S.H.I.E.L.D.  We've been in missions together and well...she's saved my life once or twice."

"Stop making such a big deal out of it. I just kicked a guy," Andria said, chuckling.

"Who held a gun at my face. Don't forget about that," Sharon chuckled too.

"Yeah, it's an annoying habit she has. Saving our asses all the time. Makes you feel useless, doesn't it?" Sam said sarcastically, giving a slight push at Andria who rolled her eyes.

"You should thank me. Come on...I'm sure Steve and Sharon have a lot to talk about," she said and Sam laughed, following her inside the hotel, while Steve and Sharon, who both rolled their eyes, followed them shortly after.

"So, in how many missions did you actually go, before joining the team?" Sam asked, genuinely curious.

"Too many to count."

"I thought you had only started being an agent after S.H.I.E.L.D. got compromised."

"An official agent. Working for Fury and only. I had started working for S.H.I.E.L.D. long before that, being under the radar. That's one of the reasons no one knows my face. Because Fury made sure S.H.I.E.L.D. had nothing on me. But I still worked for him because I was one of his best. Besides, when you're a kid no one really suspects you have anything to do with such stuff. Because it's not for kids. It gives you a privilege. They never see you coming," Andria explained, thinking about her past before she joined the Avengers.

"And now you're here," Sam said and Andria gave him a small smile.

"And now--" But she didn't get to finish her sentence as what was playing on TV drew her attention.

"What?" He asked, not noticing.

"Oh God!" She said, pointing at the footage of a bombing happening at the UN building in Vienna, while ratifying the Accords.

Andria thought about Natasha being there and her blood froze at the thought of her friend being hurt.

Sam was looking at the TV frozen. When he snapped out of it, he mattered a quick 'stay here' to Andria and left the room.

A few minutes later he got in with Steve and Sharon.

"A bomb hidden in a news van ripped through the UN building in Vienna. More than seventy people have been injured. At least twelve are dead, including Wakanda's king T'Chaka. Officials have released a video of a suspect who they have identified as James Buchanan Barnes, the Winter Soldier, the infamous HYDRA agent linked to numerous acts of terrorism and political assassinations," the news anchor sounded from the TV.

Andria noticed Steve's jaw clench on the sound of Bucky's name.

"I have to get to work," Sharon said once she finished a conversation on the phone.

She got ready to get in a private jet and head for Vienna, when Steve drew her a bit away from the other two, telling her something.

Sharon seemed reluctant, but eventually nodded and got out of the room.

Steve came closer to Sam and Andria again, saying something about going to Vienna to find Bucky, cause he was the only one that could possibly bring him in without dying.

The other two knew they couldn't change his mind, so all they did was tag along.

So after two hours of travelling, they reached Vienna's airport.

Getting to the UN building, they saw firefighters still trying to put out the fire in the building's higher floors and people still being checked by the EMTs.

Andria, Steve and Sam were wearing caps and sunglasses to cover up their faces.

Andria had also drawn her hair in a high ponytail maybe for the first time in her life.

As she spotted Sharon talking to the EMTs, her eyes landed on a woman with red hair.

Natasha was sitting on a bench, speaking to a handsome man.

Andria, who had been relieved seeing that Natasha was alright, tried to take a better look at the man and realised he was king T'Chaka's son, T'Challa.

He seemed devastated by his father's death as expected, but there was also a glimpse of anger.

More like rage.

Now that his father was dead, it also meant that he would become Wakanda's king.

Andria heard Steve mumble something about her and Sam going to wait for him in a nearby café, so when Sam called her name, she finally took her eyes off the soon to be Wakanda's king and followed Sam towards the café, a block away from the UN building.

The last thing Andria heard before getting too far, was Steve talking with someone on the phone.

By his words, she bet it was Natasha.
