Nicole Rushman stood before the gates to Avenger's Mansion with a backpack slung over one shoulder and a determined look on her face. She was here to see her uncle to get some answers. Answers her mother would never give her. The woman could teach stubbornness to a mule given the chance. Uncle Steve had the answers and Nicole was determined to get them from her.

Her mother had been out of the house one day when Nicole picked the lock on the steamer trunk her mother kept at the foot of her bed. Curiosity had finally gotten the better of her.

Nicole found old photos and newspaper articles in the trunk and her birth certificate. Her real one. The photos were of her mother and the Avengers. The Avengers! Apparently her mother was an Avenger and had never once mentioned it to Nicole. There was a picture of her mother with whom she assumed was her father. Her mother was the famous Black Widow, Natasha Romanova and her father was James Buchanan Barnes. At least according to her real birth certificate. Nicole had seen her birth certificate that named her mother as Natalie Rushman and her father as James Rushman, but this was something new entirely.

Hell, her name wasn't even Nicole Rusham. It was Olivia Nicole Barnes. Why the hell did she have a fake birth certificate and a fake name?

No, Mom would never answer those questions. So she went to the one person who would answer them. Uncle Steve. Known to the world as Captain America.

She reached up and rang the buzzer near the gate.

He nods. "Sooner or later, someone was going to learn. She wanted you to have other options, obviously, outside the family businesses... but she also wanted you to be able to protect yourself."

"Can I stay here?" she asked. "I'll call Mom and tell her I'm here, but she's going to need some time to calm down."

"Your Mom is going to want to talk to me too. Of course you can stay here. You'll always have a home here when you need it."

She gave him a small smile. "Thanks. Yeah, she's going to be pissed. She'll probably get on a plane as soon as she gets home from work and sees my note."

"She will be. But its time you knew. You're old enough to start making your own decisions about what you want to do with your life now."

Nicole smiled. "Thanks. I think from now on I'm going to go by my real name, Olivia Barnes."
