Chapter 1
Steve Rogers had just been accepted at SHIELD University.
He had been working to get accepted for months after graduating high school and getting side jobs to save up for tuition while at a junior college.
Many of his friends from high school followed in his path and were accepted as well.
But Steve's best friend Bucky Barnes was enlisted in the US Army. He has been deployed for almost two years now and couldn't tell Steve were he was being deployed.
Steve packed his bags and left for the start of a new year heading of to the outskirts of Washington DC where the school was located.
He pulled up into the parking lot and then grabbed all of his belongings.
Since he was new to the school Steve had gone to the front office and saw the receptionist.
"Um hello?" Steve announced and the lady lifted her head.
"How can I help you?" She said.
"Um I just got accepted here and I kinda need to know where my dorm is?" Steve said nervously and the lady typed something on her computer.
"Name." The lady asked.
"Steve Rogers." Steve exclaimed.
The lady printed a paper out and handed to him.
"West Wing, room 47." The lady said then went back to her computer, "Orientation is later today,"
"Thanks." Steve said and walked off towards the West Wing of the dormitories.
He went up some stairs and soon found his dorm room quickly. Many other students crowded the halls talking in the doorways of their dorm of just along the walls.
Steve opened the door to room 47 and heard people talking inside.
"Clint! Get out of here this isn't even your dorm!" Steve heard a voice say and then heard something being throw afterwards.
"Okay! Okay! I'll leave! Don't have to get violent Stark!" A voice said then ran out of the room. He had a head of spiky blonde hair.
He spotted Steve standing at the door then called back into the room, "What's up skinny boy! Hey Stark! I think one of your roommates are here!"
Then the guy ran off down the hall and opened the door to his dorm.
A man with dark brown hair and a small goatee stepped out of the door way. He was also wearing fashionable glasses and some nice clothes.
"Hi, I'm Tony." Tony greeted and Steve smiled.
"I'm Steve." Steve replied and Tony waved him in.
Tony gestures around the room and then went to a desk piled with papers and an expensive computer.
"So this is our room. We have another roommate but they are in another form right now. Oh, and that was Clint who just ran out of here." Tony explained.
"Whos the other roommate?" Steve asked while putting his bags on a bed.
"Well this guy named Bruce Banner is rooming with us. I heard he graduated as one of the top students out of all high schools in the states." Tony says and Steve nodded.
"Do you know anyone who's going here?" Tony asked his new roommate.
"I know Sam Wilson and Natasha Romanoff." Steve exclaimed and Tony raised his eyebrows.
"Natasha? I know her. We knew each other for a long time when she lived in California but then she moved to New York, which I'm guessing is where she met you. And Sam Wilson is down the hall with that guy Clint." Tony states and closes off his computer.
"Hey, I'm meeting with a few people in that Sam guys dormitory and if you want you can come and hang out and if so you can come with me right now." Tony said throwing on a jacket and heading outside into the hallway.
Steve came with and they walked down the hall to a room.
Tony knocked and a girl with long reddish brown hair opened the door.
"Hey Tones come on in." She said and turned to Steve and smiled.
"Hi I'm Wanda." She said happily.
Steve greeted her, "Im Steve."
Tony and Steve then walked in and saw many people in the room.
Steve walked away from Tony and went over to where Sam was standing.
"Hey Steve!" Sam hollered and hugged his friend.
"Sup Rogers." Natasha said turning around.
Steve nodded to her and they talked for a bit.
They made a few new friends and which included Thor, Bruce, Wanda, Vision, Clint, and talked with Tony.
At one moment Sam turned to Steve and asked, "How's Bucky?"
Everyone else they where talking to stopped to listen.
"Um well he's doing fine I guess. I haven't heard from him since he was deployed. He had been shipped out in the army for almost 2 years now." Steve said and Sam put an arm around his shoulder.
"Don't worry he's strong. He'll be back soon." Sam reassured.
Steve smiled then walked over to Wanda.
"So Wanda, what classes are you taking?" Steve asked.
Wanda grinned, "I'm taking some classes on art. Like ceramics, sculpting, painting. I'm really good with my hands." She said winking.
"Oh! I'm also taking some arts, I'm majoring in fine arts and minoring in Literature," Steve added in.
Vision walked over and kissed Wandas head.
"Hey Vis." Wanda said blushing.
"Are you guys?" Steve asked and Vision nodded.
"Yes, we are dating if that's what you were asking." Vision said with his British accent.
"What classes are you taking Vision?" Steve questioned.
"I find science and philosophy to be of my interest. So I'm taking philosophy and research science classes." Vision stated.
"I'm gonna head back to our dorm." Steve said and everyone waved goodbye.
Steve got to his dorm and saw some mail was dropped off.
He picked it up and went through it and placing Thor's, Bruce's, and Tony's mail. But when he reached the bottom of the list he saw something addressed to him.
It read,
To Steve Rogers,

Say hi to Sam and Nat for me and hope you make some friends. Dont go starting fights that you can't handle. Miss you.

Steve smiled at the note and placed it near his bed and began unpacking his clothes.
After 40 minutes he finished cleaning and setting up his side of the dorm. He plopped down onto his bed then rolled over to re-read Buckys letter.
"Hope to see you soon jerk."
