"Never scare me like that again, Steven Grant Rogers!" Mary exclaimed to Captain America as she, her brother, and her boyfriend walked out of the factory, making their way to meet up with all the other soldiers 80 yards past the main gate.

Steve looks at her, he had jumped the chasm between him and his sister and best friend, all while explosions were going off below him. Mary had seen her brother be consumed by the fires below before he landed the jump.

He was singed and ash covered his face, but he was okay, and Mary was grateful for that.

As they walk, Mary stops them when they get to the rest of the troops. She looks at Steve, "I need to assess the troops." She states, "they probably have broken bones and cuts that could be infected, i should treat them."

Steve nods, "Go, do what you're best at, Lizzie." He states, smiling as she walks over to Bucky.

Her Sarge looks up at her, "I made it to one hundred and fifty nine stars." He states as Mary pulls out a small alcohol bottle and cotton rag she had stashed in her medical bag she brought with her.

She smiles, heat rising to her cheeks as she dabs a cut wound on his forehead, Bucky winces but Mary pays no mind to it, knowing it's a normal reaction to the alcohol, "One hundred and twenty three stars for me." She tells him.

"So in your letters, when you said someone was killed that you cared about, who was it? You never said their name." Bucky asks her, he internally regrets it the second he sees the look on her face, "I'm sorry.. you don't have to answer me."

Mary shakes her head, moving to stitch his hand after noticing a deep cut on it, "No.. it's alright." She mutters, "His name was Doctor Abraham Erskine.." she trails off.

"The doctor Schmidt mentioned?"

"The very same. While we were at Camp Lehigh for Steve's training, Erskine took me under his wing as his assistant and apprentice." She tells him, "He taught me the skills i'm using on you right now.. he also helped me by caring for me like a father.."

"Little Nurse.. i'm so sorry.." Bucky murmurs to her, seeing her shoulders start to shake, he pulls her down onto his lap after she finishes with his hand. He holds her tightly as she cries into his shoulder. He lets her cry, knowing she needs to let it out before it consumes her entirely.

"I promise you. On my life, that you will not lose anyone else that you care about. Not me, not Steve, not anyone else." He vows to his whole life.

Mary wipes her eyes with the sleeve of her jacket, smiling at him, "i'll hold you to that Sarge." She states.

"I'm counting on it Little Nurse." He teases, smirking.

He watches her stand up, regaining her composure, "i have to make my rounds to the other troops." She tells him, he nods, "After that i'm introducing you to some friends of mine." Bucky states back.

Hours later, Mary is finally done assessing and taking care of all the troops that were in need of immediate medical attention.

Bucky comes up to her, his buddies following behind him, "Are we finally going to meet this Little Nurse you keep mentioning, Bucky?" One of his friends, Dum Dum Dugan, asks.

The Sergeant nods, "Yeah, you'll like her a lot, fellas." He smiles, rubbing the back of his neck, glancing over at where Steve and Mary are talking to some troops.

"Boys, i think our Sergeant is in love!" Another man yells, James Falsworth, the British man Steve and Mary had met when they were breaking everyone out.

Hoots and hollers come from all of Bucky's friends, he chuckles as he whistles, catching Mary's attention, she runs over to Bucky.

"Your hand okay?" She asks him, looking it over, Bucky places his other hand on top of hers, "These are the friends of mine i wanted you to meet." He states, "Some of the best people i'll ever get to know, besides you and Stevie of course."

He states, the men come forward, all seeing who Bucky's Little Nurse is, grins and smirks all start to form on their faces.

"We've already met her. Mary Rogers, Captain America's kickass sister." An Asian man from the group states, Jim Morita.

Bucky chuckles, looking at Mary then smirking back at his friends, "Well she doesn't know your names, so shut the hell up." He quips, earning laughs from all the men.

Mary is then introduced to Dum Dum Dugan, Gabe Jones, Jim Morita, James Montgomery Falsworth, and Jacques Derneir. All of whom she immediately takes a liking too, seeing them all together, acting like brothers with each other and Bucky, warms her heart knowing he wasn't alone.

"It's really nice to meet you all." She tells him. "I'm sorry it couldn't be under better circumstances though." She states, Bucky pulls her closer to his side, kissing the top of her head, "Me too, Doll." He whispers to her.

A day later, the remaining one-o-seventh march their way over to the camp. Steve, Mary and Bucky lead the freed troops with The Howling Commandos, a name the trio and the commandos thought of as they walked to the camp area. The soldiers who were at the camp start running and shouting, applauding the heroic act the siblings had done to rescue their fellow troops, drawing the attention of Peggy and Colonel Phillips.

The Trio lead the men make further into the area as they walk past soldiers. Steve walks up to Phillips, saluting him. Mary steps up, "Some of these men need medical attention I couldn't give them because they were too wounded with what i had brought with me." She tells the Colonel.

Phillips eyes the young Nurse, then looks around at all the freed soldiers, "We'd like to surrender ourselves for disciplinary actions." Steve states for the siblings. Mary nodding in agreement.

"That wont be necessary." Phillips grunts out, looking at the two of them, a small smile forming on the Colonel's mouth, making the two Rogers siblings smile a bit in return.

They both nod, "Yes, Sir." They reply in unison.

Phillips turns to Peggy, "Faith huh?" He questions, referring to the conversation they had about her actions to help the Rogers siblings.

Peggy walks up to Steve through the crowd of men around them, "You're late." She states to the both of them.

Steve chuckles, pulling out the transponder she had given the two of them, Mary has lost hers when she fell from the catwalk, and Steve's had been busted from being shot at by HYDRA agents.

He holds it out for Peggy to see, a slight smirk playing on his lips, "Couldn't call our ride." He states back to her.

Peggy smiles a little, looking up at Steve, then Bucky gains the attention of all the troops.

"Hey! Let's hear it for Captain America and Nurse Rogers!" He shouts, Mary smiles at all the troops now applauding the siblings, Steve just stands in awe of it all.

"You didn't have to do that, James." She mumbles to her boyfriend.

"Of course i did, Little Nurse." He tells her, "You and Steve deserve it." Mary blushes at him saying this, getting on her tip toes and kissing his cheek. She then turns to Peggy and Steve, who can't look away from each other.

One week later
Allied HQ
London, England

Steve, Mary and Peggy are going over maps, Steve is marking the places he saw on the map in the isolation ward where him and Mary found Bucky.

"The fifth one was here in Poland, right near the Baltic." He states, marking it on the map, Mary steps up, marking another spot, "And the sixth one was... about here, 30, 40 miles west of the Maginot Line." She states, her brother nodding in agreement.

"We just got a quick look." He says to Peggy as an agent takes the map away.

"Well, nobody's perfect." Peggy replies, walking over to Phillips, the siblings follow behind her. They walk up to a table with a map of all the HYDRA bases they know of.

"These are the weapon factories we know about. Sergeant Barnes said that Hydra shipped all the parts to another facility that isn't on this map." Steve says to Phillips.

The four walk past the table, "Agent Carter, coordinate with MI6. I want every Allied eyeball looking for that main Hydra base." Phillips orders Peggy.

"What about us?" She asks.

"We are gonna set a fire under Johann Schmidt's ass. What do you say, Rogers?" The Colonel says, looking at the two siblings, "It's your map, you two think you can wipe Hydra off of it?" Phillips asks.

Steve looks around at the room, taking in everyone who's here, then looks at Mary, she nods at him, they turn to Phillips, "Yes, Sir." They say together.

"But we'll need a team." Steve adds.

Phillips nods, "We're already putting the best men together."

Mary smirks, "Sir, with all due respect. So are we." She retorts.

Later that same day, Mary and Steve had gathered The Howling Commandos in a pub, trying to convince them to join the siblings.

Dum Dum puts his beer down on the table, looking between the two siblings, "So let's get this straight."

Jones pipes in, "We barely get out of there alive, and you two want us to go back?"

The Rogers siblings nod, "Pretty much." Mary states, sipping her water, smiling at the men enjoying themselves.

Falsworth looks up at the two, contemplating it in his mind, "Sounds rather fun, actually."

Morita belches, startling Mary briefly, causing the men to laugh, "I'm in." He states.

Jones and Dernier start to converse in French, Mary and Steve watching them as Dernier laughs, shaking hands with Jones.

The African American man looks up, "We're in." He states for the both of them.

Dum Dum is the last of the group at the table to agree to help, he holds up his beer, "Hell, i'll always fight. But you two gotta do one thing for me."

Mary and Steve glance at each other, smirking a bit, Steve looks back, "What's that?" He asks.

Dum Dum finishes off his beer, setting it on the table roughly, "Open a tab." He states, laughing along with the other four men. Mary laughs, Steve gathers the empty beer mugs and takes them over to the barkeep.

Mary still at the table, stands up, causing the five men to groan in protest. Causing the girl to laugh, "I'll be back." She teases them, walking off to find Bucky.

She follows Steve as he goes to a back room, it's quieter, while the front of the bar start singing along to someone playing on the piano. Bucky notices the two siblings, chuckling.

Spinning in his chair back to the barcounter, "See? I told you both, they're all idiots." He states as he drinks the last of the scotch in his glass. Mary sits beside him, taking his hand into her own, the brown haired man looks at her, entranced by her hazel eyes until Steve sits on the other side of him.

Steve looks over at Bucky, "How 'bout you?" He asks, "Ready to follow Captain America and Nurse Rogers into the jaws of death?"

Mary laughs, causing Bucky to smile, kissing her temple as he replies, "Hell no." He states, looking between the two, "That little guy from Brooklyn who was too dumb not to run away from a fight and the short, hazel eyed, brunette girl who stole my heart. I'm following them."

Mary smiles back at him, squeezing his hand, "You're keeping the outfit though, right?" Barnes asks Steve

Steve looks at Bucky, smirking, turning to look at a poster for his tour with a sign over it saying: Cancelled until further notice. "You know what? It's kinda growing on me."

"I would hope so, I made it." Mary quips

Soon the music stops playing, and the singing dies down, causing the Trio to look out the doorway from the back room, seeing Peggy walk in, wearing a tight red dress that flaunts her curves in the best way.

Mary smiles wide as she enters the back room with the Trio.

"Captain. Nurse Rogers." She greets them, the Trio stand to greet her back. She turns to Bucky, "You must be James, Mary and Steve talked an awful lot about you." She states

"Ma'am." Bucky greets her back.

"I hope you know what you have before you, Barnes." Peggy tells him, referring to Mary.

Bucky nods, smiling, "Yes, Ma'am i do. She's one of the best." He states, placing his hands on Mary's shoulders, who happens to he in front of him.

Peggy nods in agreement, "That she is." She replies, then turns to Steve, "Howard has some new equipment for you and Mary to try. Tomorrow morning?"

Steve glances at Mary, she nods, then he turns back to Peggy, "Sounds good." He replies.

Peggy glances behind her shoulder, seeing the Commandos singing their hearts out and drinking, "I see your top squad is prepping for duty." She quips

Bucky smirks, "You don't like music?" He asks.

Peggy smirks back, "I do actually." She replies, looking Steve up and down, "I might after all of this is over. Go dancing."

Steve looks at Peggy, "Then what're you waiting for?" He asks.

Mary and Bucky watch as Peggy looks up with her deep brown eyes into Steve's own crystal blue ones, "The right partner." She mutters. The sister smiles, remembering what Steve had said the day of his transformation.

"You must have danced?" Peggy asks.

"Well, asking a woman to dance always seems so terrifying. And the past few years just didn't seem to matter that much. Figured I'd wait." Steve replies, glancing at Peggy.

"For what?" The older woman asks.

"The right partner." He answers back.

Peggy turns to leave, "0800, Captain. Nurse Rogers." She tells them as she exits the room.

"We'll be there." Mary states.

Bucky looks over at Steve, "If i didn't have Mary, i'd say that i'm invisible now to all the dames." He teases.

Mary shakes her head, "You're not invisible to me." She tells him, her hand moving to fix his hair, straightening his tie.

Bucky grins at Mary, wrapping his arms around her waist, "Thank God for that." He states, kissing her forehead. "You're the only one i want in my life, Mary Elizabeth Rogers." He tells her.

Mary grins up at him, placing her hands around his neck, "That's good, because i don't ever plan on giving you up."

Mary sits at a table in Howard's lab, drawing some things down in her notebook, Howard comes around the corner, seeing her, "What're you doing little miss?" He asks her.

"Sketching Steve and I's new uniform." She states, "i designed the one for the tour, so i thought i should make one for when we start going to fight Hydra with the Commandos, one for me as well." She explains to Howard as Peggy storms into the room, Steve following quickly behind her.

The sister jumps out of her seat, rushing towards Peggy, seeing the woman and Steve having a heated discussion.

"Agent Carter. Wait." Steve pleads.

Peggy doesn't turn around to speak to him, "Looks like finding a partner wasn't that hard after all." She quips, clearly upset about something.

Steve sighs, "Peggy, that's not what you thought it was."

"I don't think anything, Captain. Not one thing. You always wanted to be soldier and now you are. Just like all the rest." Peggy states.

"Well, what about you and Stark? How do I know you two haven't been," Steve shifts his footing uncomfortably, "Fonduing?"

Finally Peggy turns to look at him, "You still don't know a bloody thing about women!" She exclaims, walking into the lab.

Mary rushes over to Peggy, "What happened? I don't think i've ever seen you that heated before." She asks

Peggy shakes her head, pulling Mary out of Steve's earshot, "Nothing. Your brother is just embracing how a solider lives now, kissing any random woman they can find." She snaps.

Mary's hazel eyes widen, "Steve? No. That doesn't sound like him at all."

"Then explain to me why i just caught him making out with Private Lorraine." Peggy questions.

"Peggy.. i don't know why he would do that.. but trust me when i say he only has his eyes on one specific dame. And it most certainly is not Private Lorraine."

Peggy nods, taking in the information, she sighs, smiling weakly at Mary, "Thank you, it doesn't calm my anger towards him, but it helped." She states.

The two women walk back into the room, seeing Steve and Howard talking, "Fondue is just cheese and bread, my friend." Howard tells Steve.

Steve's confusion becomes worse as he looks at Howard as they walk past some tables with Howard's employees working on weapons and other inventions, "Really? I didn't think..."

"Nor should you, pal. The moment you think you know what's goin' on in a woman's head, it's the moment your goose is well and truly cooked. Me, I concentrate on work. Which at the moment is about making sure you, your sister and your men do not get killed." Howard explains, walking up to a table with different types of fabric on it.

"Carbon polymer." The mustached inventor states, picking up a piece, showing Steve, "Should withstand your average German bayonet. Although Hydra's not going to attack you with a pocket knife."

Mary meets them at a table lined with many variations of shields for Steve, the two men walk up to it. Howard pats Steve's old shield, "I hear you're.. kind of attached?" He asks.

Steve nods, following behind the man, "It's handier than you might think." He explains.

"I took the liberty of coming up with some options." Howard states, he starts talking about one of the shields on the table, but Steve notices one under all the others, he pulls it out, showing Mary. "What about this one?" He asks

"It's a good fit for you." She tells him.

Howard shakes his head, "No! No! That's just a prototype." Howard states.

Steve flips it in his hands, testing the weight of it, "What's it made out of?" He asks.

"Vibranium. It's stronger than steel and a third of the weight. It's completely vibration absorbent." Howard replies.

Mary's hazel eyes widen, "How come it's not standard issue? It would save a lot of lives." She asks.

Howard nods, but sighs, his hands going into his pockets, "That's the rarest metal on earth. What your brother is holding there? That's all we've got." He replies.

Mary nods, understanding, she heads heels coming into contact with the floor, seeing Peggy, she smiles a bit at her. Peggy returns the gesture, looking at Steve.

"You quite finished, Mr. Stark? I'm sure the Captain has some unfinished business." Peggy quips, her eyes narrowing at Steve.

Steve smiles, not realizing that Peggy is still mad at him, he holds up his shield.

"Steve- I wouldn't." Mary mutters, but her brother doesn't hear her.

"What do you think?" He asks Peggy.

The woman narrows her eyes, picking up a gun from the table she is standing next to, she cocks it and fires four bullets at Steve's shield.

Mary dives behind the table, Howard's quick to cover both of them as the bullets shoot towards Steve, her brother was fast enough to hold his shield up so he wouldn't get harmed by the bullets. He peaks out from his shield hesitantly, not knowing is Peggy will fire more rounds at him in her frustration.

Howard and Mary look up from their crouched position behind the table. Steve stands there in shock.

"Yes, i think it works." Peggy replies curtly, setting the gun back down onto the table it was previously on, then walks past Steve and out the door behind them.

Mary breathes a bit heavily, catches her breath, she hands her notebook to Howard, "So.. about mine and Steve's uniforms.." she trails off, still watching Steve closely, the look on her brother's face is clear shock and horror from what just happened.

Howard takes the notebook without looking at the nurse, nodding, "Whatever you two want.." he mutters, watching the same thing the sister is.
