Part 2
Saying you hate water is an understatement. Swimming, surfing, jet skiing, all of it. shook you to your core. And what’s worse, you weren’t dealing with water anymore, you were dealing with ice.
Fortunately for you, Fury didn’t make you go back into the freezing dark abyss of the sea, he gave you a team.
Now you walk around the lab sipping your coffee, keeping an eye on the thawing hero, rubbing your head.
Suddenly a name appeared in your mind.
‘Peggy!’ Like a yell, it Invaded your thoughts. It was so loud and strong you dropped your mug, watching it shatter across the marble flor as heart ache and discomfort overcame your body. What was happening?
———————-
Unlocking your door you began,
So, Captain-“
“Please, Y/n, just Steve.” He spoke, leaning into the passenger door,
“Ok, just Steve."you commented, as he opened the car door, the soldier bucked himself into the front seat.
"Right like that hasn’t been hilarious the last hundred times you said it” smirking Steve shook his head.
“If it’s not funny, then why are you smiling?” You threw your car into drive headed for SHIELD.
Once retrieved from the ice, Fury had you working with Steve on a daily basis. After all his training and evaluations, at the end of the day, you spent your evenings with the man out of time, building your psychic power. That and he was like you, no social life or friends to think about or worth mentioning. Well, not ‘exactly’ like you, all his friends where dead.
“So, what do we have on the agenda tonight?”
Oh well, I- i have a date..“ Steve continued facing forward feeling the awkwardness rise as the stale air floated about the vehicle.
"Oh. Ok. Well, that’s. Really awesome. Wow! Congratulations!” You forced out. The lie crossed your lips as Steve let out a relieved sigh.
“Oh good. I mean, I thought with us, just spending so much time together and ya know you…Working on your power.. mind.. thing, ” Steve nervously spoke using his hands. You spotted him out the corner of your eye, making you smile sweetly as your mouth became dry.
“And it’s good for me to get out, meet other people- women. Um, Natasha says Agent- Sharon, she thinks she would be good for me..yeah.” He clasped his hands together, placing
them in his lap, staring out the window it began to rain.
You swallowed, clearing your throat.
“Steve. It’s cool. Good luck on the date. ” you glanced over to him, he turned to you catching your face in the reflection of the window and smiled back.
“What about you?” Steve questioned,
Watching you nibble at your lower lip. He rubbed his bottom lip, grazing his nails across it, wondering how yours would feel.
“Uh. What about me?” You questioned looking over to him, feeling his emotions shift like a wave of water.
His brow dipped shaking the thought away. 'It’s natural to feel that way, we spend so much time together.’ He thought.
“Like, do you ever get tired of spending time with-”
“No, I mean. Not really. You are one of The constants in my life, you’re basically my job as well. Besides my dad. Oh! And Nick. If I could go twenty four hours without a text, visit or phone call, that would be heaven.” Steve laughed, You joined him.
'Ok. I’m just part of the job. Ok’ Steve too note,
“I hear that. ”
Silence.
“Steve?” You pulled up to the curb of his apartment, slowing. He unbuckled turning to you, lips parted. For a moment the only sound was the rain hitting the windshield.
“Oh. Um. Sorry, I don’t mean to use my power on you but you feel sad- conflicted. Are you ok?”
'Oh crap. Ok. Don’t think of how beautiful she looks today. Clear your mind.think of nothing.no. She'l know. Ok. Sharon, the girl I am going on a date with.’ Steve cracked. the door open,
“I’m good. Thanks for the ride. See you tomorrow.” He flashed his pearly whites, taking off in a sprint for the door.
You sighed, pulling into the parking garage. “Of course it would be Sharon Carter. Even in Death the Carter line is still ruining my thoughts.”
—————-
“They look good together y/n, don’t tamper with fate!” Nat yelled over her shoulder as you headed toward the labs.
“Yeah yeah. Whatever! I’m not doing anything.” You yelled outside Bruce’s door.
“Y/n, how are you? How are the migraines?”
“Good and good. You?” You walked up the staircase, taking a seat cross from Banner.
Besides Steves. Occasional PTSD, and depressing thoughts of Peggy, your
powers had not been cooperating with you. When you attempted to use them on hydra affiliates, they’d only tune to Steve.
“What no captain tonight? No time for the little people in his life? Now that’s just plain rude!. ” Tony began, entering from the back.
“So Agent, you put anymore thought into that date I was talking about?” Tony wiggled his eyes, powering up his computers.
“Very professional Tony.” Bruce rolled his eyes, putting electrodes on your chest and temples, he tried to look away while you zipped up your wetsuit.
“You’ll have to excuse my partner, he-”
“I’ll tell you what, if you can remember my first name, without asking JARVIS, you can have your date.” You winked at Bruce, pulling your hair into a ponytail. He let out a boisterous laugh, red faced as he eyed Tony, passing him heading to a tank in the middle of a lab.
“Oh ok, my sweet… Lauren, no Lisa, Alisha, no. Emily? Mary? I feel like you could be a Mary. ” Tony, thought muttering to himself passing from you toward the underwater monitor. “It’ll come to me.” He winked at you, placing his head piece on.
“Haha, going through the alphabet are we?” Bruce smiled to using the side of your face. He paused as you caught his eye.
“You ok?” You asked, calming your giggles, “I’m sorry, I’ve become the worst patient.”
“I’m. I’m fine. I mean, you’re fine. ” Bruce dropped his hand, glancing to Tony as he resumed his seat across from you. “You uh, still having those visions of the man with the metal arm?”
Tony lifted an eyebrow at Bruce as he finished connecting you to his monitor.
“Um, yeah. I can’t make out his face though. He has goggles and a mouth piece, it’s all types of weird”
You shook your head, grabbing your goggles. You neared the water tank, your heart beat excellerated .
“We’re right here sweetheart. Ok?."Tonys voice echoed in your earpiece.
You neared the water, facing your fear like you did almost every night. The two men had been working for months trying to figure out the connection between you, water and Steve.
"Alright, are you ready to begin?.” Bruce asked, taking in your form,
“Ready as I’ll ever be doc.”

You stood in your shower, washing you hair letting Bruce’s words sink in.
'Y/n, its as before, something
About Rogers makes your ability stronger. It’s like it’s only tuned into him. My best guess is you are seeing glimpses of his future. Without his presence, I mean. I dunno what to tell you. Its like you’ve both got some kind of-’
'Bond. Yeah I know. I… Everything’s just been scattered since he’s been recovered from the ice. My thoughts, visions. It would be nice if I didn’t have to feel and see everything he has or will. It doesn’t make any sense.’
Great. Just. Great. Your powers are useless without Steve. You got out the shower, heading for your
closet. Tossing about your clothes, you got dressed. You laid on your bed, picking up a book, suddenly feeling butterflies, you got up.
Crap.
You shifted nervously about your bed. Why butterflies and the feeling of uncertainty?
It hits you like a wall,
Steves date..
Fuck.
