The Next Generation (Agent America Vol 2)

Six Months Later

There has never been another Steve Rogers and there never will be

"So, Sarah, what is wrong?" My therapist asks

"Well first, my boyfriend broke up with me because the age difference is a little weird. So there's that. My father left me for a women who he kissed 80 years ago without giving me a weeks notice. I'm happy for him and all but don't tell me the day your leaving. I'm not sleeping because of bills and taxes. I live in a studio apartment in New York City but with all the money I have to pay to live there, it's like I live in a mansion. I saved the world and the government bills me like crazy." I say

"Does you being upset have to do with your father?"

"No, it isn't. It might be the 11 years of killing and fighting bad guys. Also watching a titan kill half of the population at the age of 17. Fighting killer robots at 14 and fighting a Nazi organization at age 12. It was fun and all but it was very traumatic for a child. I wanted to fight though so I guess that's on me."

"Now let's talk about your friends. Who have you talked to in the last week?" I take out my phone

"Well, after Wanda took a whole town hostage she hasn't been answering my calls. Bucky is not answering my calls either. Sam is busy a lot so I talked to him once this week. I talked to Clint once but only for two minutes. Strange called me to tell me not to break the multiverse which why would I do that? Can't call Thor because he's in space having a great time. Wish I was up there with them. I pick up Morgan from school sometimes so I talk to her and Pepper. So yeah I talked to five people this week."

"That's a little sad. I heard you gave your father's shield to Sam."

"I know that my father would have wanted Sam to have it. I already have my own and I don't need a reminder that my father's gone forever."

"What did you do this week other than being in your phone."

I lean back and say nothing

"Really? That's all you've done. Give me your phone." I give her my phone

"What are you gonna do?" I ask

"First, I'm getting you a dating app and secondly, getting you a job."

"I don't need a job or a boyfriend."

"You are almost broke."

"So, I have friends."

"Don't be that selfish. What happen to the girl who led the Avengers to Thanos?"

"She went with Steve Rogers to the 1940's."

"You can enlist in the army."

"Nah" I say before she gives me back my phone

"I texted Sam to pick you up as soon as he can on your phone"

"I sometimes hate you."

"You need me more than you want to admit it."

"Yeah, sure."

"I guess our time is up." I get up and leave

I get a text. I look at see that Sam texted back

Sam: Was that your therapist?

Me: Yeah, you don't need to pick me up

Sam: oh I'm picking you up. I have a mission for the both of us

Me: I haven't trained since Tony's funeral

Sam: Too bad

Me: Fine, I'll come. Just pick me up tonight since I have to pick up Morgan from school
