Hello everyone,

So this is a sequel to Happy Accident. I recommend reading that first, or you will be confused. This story will involve many characters from the Marvel Universe: Avengers, some Inhumans from Agents of SHIELD, maybe other characters from Agents of SHIELD too, but not necessarily.

Hope you enjoy. Please let me know what you think. Do you like it? Do you have any complains? Constructive criticism is always appreciated.

"… hundreds of people have died in Midtown New York earlier today with thousands of injured. The damage to the property is being estimated to one and a half billion and climbing."

"…what has been confirmed as an extraterrestrial attack…"

"… group called the Avengers that consists of Iron Man a.k.a. multibillionaire Tony Stark, a giant green creature referred as the Hulk, Thor, the demigod, recently discovered Captain America, a.k.a. Steve Rogers and two highly trained secret agents known as the Black Widow and Hawkeye."

"…have disappeared. Why are they not here for the fall out? Why are they not here to take consequences for their actions?"

"… rebuilding. Most of the streets affected by the Incident are closed off by what seems to be an intelligence agents. However, no one ever heard of them in America or …"

" … Interventions Enforcement and Logistics Devision or SHIELD for short…"

Anna just stared at the TV, unable to move. It has been almost three years now. Three years where she lost everything. Her daughter was two and talking. Running around. Three years of thinking that there was no one but her daughter. However, if they were right, Steve was alive. The scrawny kid that let a crazy German scientist experiment on him. Could it really be the same Steve that would wear newspapers in his shoes?

"Do you think they will find us?" She hurt one of the younger kids ask.

"Of course not. They don't know we exist."

"Yesterday, they didn't know those guys existed."

"Even if they find out we exist, they will never find Afterlife."

"How, the hell, can you be sure? They track one of us, and he will take the rest of us down."

"I am with Kyle."

"Please! People are too worried cleaning up after this one, to be looking for more."

"I wouldn't bet my life on that!"

"Stop being pusses!"

She looked around the hopeless mess thankful no one noticed her. She didn't care about the danger this posed. She didn't care what it mean for the Inhumans. All she cared about was finding Steve. The second threader she had to the man she loved. Rose couldn't have her father, but if Steve was here, than that was the next best thing. The only person who knew Bucky better than her.

She stood up and walked out of the common room towards her own block. She needed to figure out how to find Steve. The journalists said none of the Avengers could be find. Maybe she could get into touch with Stark? He was the easiest to get to. And if that doesn't work, she would certainly think of something.

"Mama! Mama!" A little three year old girl run straight to her. "Look! Look, what I made!" She hold out a colourful picture with three figures on it. Two were holding hands and the other was sort of flying in the air above them.

"That's beautiful, Rosie." She smiled down at her daughter. Rosie was only three and the splitting image of her father. She had the same soft brown hair with a slight curl in them, the same nose and mouth, even her eyes had the same shape. The only thing she got from Anna was the chocolate brown of her eyes.

Anna looked at the picture and worried yet again about the speed Rosie was growing up. She was developing skills way too fast, she was learning faster than other children and seemed to understand a lot more than she should. She didn't want her to grow up too fast. Every child should enjoy their childhood to the fullest.

"Who did you draw, sweetheart?" She asked as she took the picture out of her hand.

"Us, silly." Rosie smiled happily.

"And who is this?" Anna pointed at the flouting figure.

"Daddy. He is watching out for us, see." She pointed at him. Anna smiled at her daughter.

She outstretched her hand for Rosie to take: "Honey, how would you like going on a trip?"

"Really? Where?" Her eyes lit up at the mere idea of leaving Afterlife. It would be the first time she have left.

"To see a friend of mine."

"You have friends outside?" She asked excitedly.

"Only one." She smiled as they walked down path to their rooms. "I need you to pack the toys that you want the most. Can you do that?"

Rosie nodded her head, let go of her hand and run towards the door. Anna just watched with an adoring smile.

"Where are you going?" She heard Jiaying approaching her.

"New York. For start." Anna answered. Something didn't feel right, even though it was a simple and innocent question.

"I don't think that is a good idea. With all the mess there right now. It might still be dangerous." She subtly pointed her head towards Rosie's direction, "Besides, I thought you liked it here."

"It's as good of a place as any." Anna shrugged her shoulders. "And I am grateful. But it's time for me to go."

"Anna…"

"Look, I am the only person without any physical changes that stays here permanently. I need to go. I need to find Steve. I owe it to Rosie. She can't have her father, but Steve is the next best thing. He knew Bucky his entire life and he was a good friend of mine." That nagging feeling was only getting bigger.

"I am not holding you hostage, but maybe it would be a good idea to wait a bit. Just until it settles a little."

"I am sorry, Jiaying. I don't want to part on bad terms, especially after all that you did for me, but I am leaving. Today."

Jiaying stayed quiet as she looked me in the eye for a minute. She held her gaze. It has been a long while since she felt any resentment towards her. Ever since she returned, she was very cautious when it came to Jiaying. She read snip-bits of her thoughts. She knew just how happy Jiaying was when Osip died, and with him the only way for Anna to go back too. And this went against everything she thought she knew about Jiaying. Since then it was clear to her that Jiaying was presenting them all with a mask. She just didn't know if it was all a lie or only parts.

Jiaying took a heavy breath: "Well, if your mind is set… Just remember that we will always be your home and when the time comes for Rosie, I think she will be chosen if she is here."

A subtle way of telling her that if she wants her daughter to get her powers, she will need to return.

"I will tell Gordon. Take your time packing." She then disappeared in the nearest building.

Anna walked the rest of the way home and found Rosie sitting on the sofa with a small backpack already packed and and her stuffed teddy bear in her hands.

It was time to go.
