"Sarah, please talk to me," Lily said. She'd been sitting across from Sarah Rogers for about 10 minutes, and Sarah still hadn't spoken. "Sarah, I know you feel that you can't live up to your father's name."

  Sarah looked up, she seemed to realize that Lily had figured out what she'd been trying to hide. "Ma'am, I'd rather not discuss this."

  "Sarah it's important that you open up to someone about what you're feeling, if not me, then someone else."

 "I will Ma'am. May I go?"

 "Yes, You're dismissed. Go and tell Astra it's her turn."

   Lily was disappointed that Sarah hadn't opened up, but she hoped Sarah would take her advice and talk to someone.

   Astra Osborne and Ambrevina Parker strolled into the training room and plopped down in front of Lily.

"Umm, Ambrevina, I called for just Astra."

"I know, but we'd rather do it together," Astra said, wedging herself into the chair next to Ambrevina. 

 "Are you sure? These sessions are supposed to be private, you may not open up if one of your team mates is present."

"We don't have any secrets from each other," Ambry said, trying to shove Astra off the chair. 

  The pairs audacity was refreshing from the seriousness of the Barnes kids and Sarah. Lily smiled, "Alright then, have any of you been having nightmares about any of your past missions?"

 "Uh, not really. I dreamed about the mission where my leg was injured last night, but it wasn't a nightmare. I dreamed that your information was correct, and Sarah didn't have a nervous breakdown," Astra said. 

 Lily snorted, Astra's attitude was something Lily liked about her. Most of the older team members were very strict and didn't talk back to Lily.

  "Yeah, and last night I had a super weird dream. I was eating cheddar cheese that tasted like apple pie," Ambry added.

  "You don't need to worry about us, we don't have any issues. We're cool," Astra said.

"Yep, you should focus on the kids with serious PTSD," Ambry agreed.

"Alright then, you two run off and stay out of trouble," Lily said smiling. 

 The friendship between Astra and Ambry was very strong. It was important because Ambrevina had been very important in helping Astra escape from her father's shadow. Astra's father, Harry Osborne had been the Green Goblin.

  Lily was heading back to her bunk when she heard someone crying. She began to walk towards the noise, she peeked into the room and saw Sarah Rogers sitting against the wall, sobbing. Lily knew she should walk away, and give Sarah some privacy, but when she heard Mila's voice she couldn't walk away. 

  "I can't..... I can't do this. I can't be Captain America anymore Mila," Sarah's voice was filled with pain. Lily felt a stab of shock, Sarah couldn't quit! She was Captain America, and whether Sarah knew it or not, she was the glue that held the team together. Without her the Avengers would unravel.

 "Sarah, don't say that. Please, you can't give up."

"I can't keep trying to be him, I feel like a fraud. A fake. I'm not Captain America, and I never will be."

"Sarah, listen to me. You need to pull it together. You just need a break, tell Lily, and then take a jet out to Hawaii or something. Get some air, get away from the job for a while."

 "I just can't do this anymore Mila. My father was my hero, he was the person I looked up to the most in this world. He was the perfect hero, and the symbol of Freedom.  And I'll never be able to live up to that. I'm not like him, I'm not a hero. My father never gave up, and I can't do that. I just feel like I'm being crushed. Whenever I look at his shield, I can't help but think how disappointed he'd be in me now."

 "Then maybe you need to stop trying to be Captain America. Be yourself. Your father was just trying to do what was right when he became Captain America, so stop being Captain America. Be Sarah. Sarah who is my best friend. Sarah who I look up to."

"Thanks Mila."

"And Sarah, you will have only disappointed your father if you quit."

 Mila grabbed Sarah in a hug and Sarah held onto Mila like she was a lifeline and Sarah was drowning. 

 "I'm here Sarah and I always will be. Together 'till the end."

  "Together to the end."

 Lily decided to leave them alone.
