Chapter 4
Steve walked out of the STRIKE area with his head buzzing. He had a daughter. An actual daughter, made by him and Peggy. He had never thought that one night with Peggy, fueled by the loss of Bucky, would make a child. What was even worse was that the child was forced out of her mother's body and placed in cryo freeze. All because of him. He found himself wanting to know what her childhood was like, why the KGB took her, and he definitely wanted to know why no one told him he had a daughter.
He looked up and realized he had reached the main part of the helicarrier where the rest of the Avengers, minus Thor who had returned to Asgard, sat but more importantly where Fury was.
"Fury!" He yelled out, causing more than one head to turn and look at him. Some even had hands on their guns. "I have a daughter. I. Have. A. Daughter, and you didn't think it was something I should know about when I woke up? Or how about after the battle? Or on any one of my missions for S.H.I.E.L.D. I should have known."
"What would you have done?" Clint demanded of him, staying seated. "Would you have tried to parent a 22-year-old? Or would you have demanded that she let you know her? She made the choice."
"I had a right to-"
"Captain," Fury interrupted. "She made the request after she helped fish you out of the ice. She didn't want to be near you and she didn't want you to know about her."
Steve didn't look pacified by this answer, in fact he looked even angrier. With this information, he whirled on Tony.
"You grew up with her! You knew who she was, you and your father let her be taken by the KGB!" Steve yelled angrily.
"Let?" Tony questioned, with a dangerous glint in his eye. "Yeah, I LET the KGB steal the person closest to me. My dad LET them steal the girl he considered his daughter. Are you forgetting something? I was 12! My dad was off searching for you with another person that LET her be taken, Peggy Carter. Her mother. Her mother was nowhere to be found when they raided the Stark Mansion and grabbed little 8-year old Jaymes from her bed."
Before Tony could continue, Bruce spoke up, trying to calm the atmosphere.
"Alright let's just take it down a notch. Tony, he just learned he had a daughter. Steve, you obviously have some things to think about. Why don't you just sit down and relax."
Steve heeded the doctor's words, and proceeded to collapse in the chair next to Clint, who looked at him for a moment before he decided to speak.
"Is she okay?" He asked quietly.
"I think she went to sleep… I'm not sure though."
Clint nodded and looked down at his wrist before he went to turn and talk to Natasha.
"You're not going to go check on her?" Steve asked him, kind of shocked that Clint wasn't rising from his chair to go and see the girl he threatened to put an arrow in Cap for.
"If you told me that she went to the gym, or that she had stayed in the kitchen when you left, then I would be checking on her. But she went to our room, meaning she needs to sleep and process the fact that she just met her father."
Steve stared at him for a moment before telling Fury something,
"I want to go on a mission with STRIKE team alpha, and I want to do it tomorrow. Find me some bad guys."
After this, Steve stood and stalked out of the room leaving the room silent. Tony being Tony went to make a sarcastic remark before he was silenced by a death glare from Natasha.
"You think he realizes that Jaymie outranks him?" Natasha asked randomly.
Bruce's eyes, upon hearing this information, widened dramatically looking to Clint and then Tony.
"I think we should let him find out for himself." Tony said with a mischievous grin, before standing. "Well, it's been fun Avengers. Let's do this again sometime, y'know save the world and all that. I'm going back to the tower where I can drink all I want without Captain righteous pants giving me the eye."
Bruce rolled his eyes but got up to follow Tony, seeing as he was his ride. Once the room was emptied of Avengers except Natasha and Clint, she felt it was safe to question him.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine Nat."
"Don't give me that Clint. I know you."
"If he hurts her, Captain or not, I'll kill him." He muttered in a deadly voice.
"Yeah and I'll help, but you know you need to let her have this." She responded with a sigh.
"Doesn't mean I have to like it," he said before turning to the control panel. "Director. Natasha and I have a request."
"You want to be on the mission." Fury stated, knowing the question before it was even asked.
"What mission?" Came a very familiar voice from behind them.
Jaymes stood right behind them looking confused.
"Your mission, Agent Rogers." Fury stated.
"All due respect Fury, what the hell are you talking about?"
"Your mission with Captain Rogers. Tomorrow. You're going to D.C."
"Excuse me?" she asked in an irritated voice.
"You're being re-stationed to D.C." Fury responded. "You and Agent Romanoff will leave at 0600. Barton, I need you on something else."
After that Fury walked off in his intimidating way, black coat flaring behind him.
"Sir, what mission?!" Jaymes demanded in only the way the daughter of Peggy Carter could do.
"Your new mission. Living next door to your father." He stated without turning around.
Jaymes turned to face Natasha and Clint menacingly. Natasha could count on one hand the people who scared her, and one of them was Jaymes Margaret Rogers.
"What the fuck did my father do?" She snapped.
"He demanded a mission with you." Natasha told her.
"Why the hell did he do that?!" Jaymes yelled. "I don't want to live next door to him, where the hell am I going to be living anyways? Did you two suggest this? Wait, did you know about it?!"
"Birdie!" Clint yelled, hoping to stop her rant. "We didn't know anything about Fury's plan, we only knew that Steve demanded a mission with you before walking off to god knows where."
"I'm going to kill him. I swear to god, and where the fuck is Tony?" She snapped.
"He took off right around the time Steve wanted a mission with you," Nat explained. "Probably trying to avoid the fireworks display you're putting on right now."
"Oh screw this shit." Jaymes snapped.
"Where are you going?" Nat called to her retreating back.
"Apparently i have some packing to do, and I need to shoot something. Preferably, something with Fury's face on it." Jaymes managed to get out before storming out of the helicarrier bay.
"Nat, I thought he'd send her on an actual mission," Clint muttered. "Not take me away from my girlfriend I haven't seen in months."
"Clint this is her mission." Nat whispered to him.
"What?" He asked. "Being around the reason she didn't have a mother?"
"No. Her mission is her dad." Nat explained. "Her mission is to get to know him, and I'm guessing it's going to go over like a lead balloon."
"Fuck." Clint muttered.
Alright guys what did you think?! I'll give some more background on her as the story goes on and I will definitely be throwing in more Clint and Jaymes.
The story line is going to be following along with the winter soldier, but I will obviously be throwing Clint into the mix this time around.
I want opinions on this. Reviews get longer chapters! I love getting feedback as it encourages me to keep on writing.
