One Year Ago
Nick Fury knew where all of his troublemakers were almost all of the time. This way he knew when a headache was coming. There was one individual, not necessarily one of the troublemakers, he always kept tabs on was one Steve Rogers, aka Captain America.

Rogers was currently enjoying a cup of coffee and scrambled eggs at Rosie's Diner. Nick walked into the diner carrying a manila envelope. He slid into the booth and smiled at the waitress that appeared at the table. "Cup o' yer best, honey," he said favoring her with one of his best smiles.

"Coming right up," she said and went to get the coffee.

He looked at Steve and slid the envelope across the table.. "Got somethin' ya might be interested in."

	"You don't beat around the bush," she noted. "I know him in the Biblical sense, but if you're asking from where I know him, well I met him right before I married Alexi. James trained me for a few weeks and we got involved." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve nodded. It was hard to get a read on what he was thinking right now. "It seemed like there was some pretty strong feelings between the two of you earlier?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Eavesdropping doesn't become you, Steve," she said. "There's a long history and let's leave it at that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Less eavesdropping and more the look on both of your faces when I walked in," Steve explains. "How come you have never mentioned this to me before?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I didn't know Bucky and James were the one in the same until now," she said. "I would have told you had I known." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," Steve said, "For what it's worth I'm glad that he has you to help him out with all of this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He has both of us," Natasha said. "He's already thinking about what he wants to do when Fury finally lets him out of here. I told him that I would sponsor him for a spot on the Avengers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	firstavenger 2011-04-24 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	"I remember," Steve says, "I told him I would help out there in any way I could if that's what he wanted." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Is there room for him?" Natasha asked. "And me?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	firstavenger 2011-04-24 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	"I want to say there is but I just don't know," Steve says, "And as much as I wish it were I'm not sure it's the right thing to do for him, to bring him back into the spotlight like this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	black_widow 2011-04-24 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"I'd rather not have Fury use him and have him stay in the spy game," she said. "He's been through enough." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He always was good at the stealth stuff," Steve says, "I could tell you countless stories about how good he was at it when we we're working with the Invaders. It was really nice working out of the spotlight with them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	black_widow 2011-04-24 11:24 pm UTC (link)
	"I know," she said. "He trained me. He has to have something to do. Like you, he's not the type to sit still." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	firstavenger 2011-04-24 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Very true," Steve says, "And I think having him help people again would be good for him too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	black_widow 2011-04-24 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes it will," she said. "It goes along way in helping one get past not so shiny pasts." Natasha was talking from experience. She had her own ghosts and skeletons in her past and had spent many years trying to atone for her actions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	firstavenger 2011-04-24 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes it really does," Steve says, "It's great for deal with most people's personal demons. Look at Hawkeye. If there was something we could do a bit more covertly..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	black_widow 2011-04-24 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"You have something in mind," she accused. "Let's hear it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's just something that I've been kicking around in my head for a bit," Steve says, "Something like an Avenger's covert strike force a bit off the books, something sort of like the Invaders. I figure it would probably be able to take care of some issues that would be harder for the Avengers to take care of as they are right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who did you have in mind for this team?" Natasha asked. She knew Steve and had for a very long time and knew the man already had people in mind. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	firstavenger 2011-04-25 12:10 am UTC (link)
	"Bucky and You if you were both up to it of course," Steve said, "A few others I'm looking into that could use a second chance and an eye on. Carol, Bobbi, and Rhodey are also on the list of possibilities along with a few others but I haven't talked to anyone else about this or even don't much more planning than that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	black_widow 2011-04-25 12:52 am UTC (link)
	Natasha nodded. "They all make sense," Natasha said. "Since I know you're not going to lead, did you have someone in mind?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	firstavenger 2011-04-25 07:43 am UTC (link)
	"Well to be honest I was kind of hoping Bucky might though I don't want to force anything on him," Steve says, "But you or even Carol I know could do a good job of it too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He will need some time to adjust to modern life before leading a team, Steve. Leadership of a team is a lot to put on his shoulders so soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	firstavenger 2011-04-25 06:01 pm UTC (link)
	"I know that believe me," Steve said. He had more experience than most with waking up in a time that was not his own. Generally speaking he had adapted to the times pretty well at this point though there were still times where he really missed the forties. "It was one of those things if he wanted it and felt ready for it if and when I got this idea together." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	black_widow 2011-04-25 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	"Let me lead it until he's ready," she said after some consideration. She didn't like leadership positions, but this one would only be temporary. When James was ready she could hand the leadership over to him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
