AMBER STOOD IN THE KITCHEN, leaning against the counter, sipping out of her coffee filled mug. The rest of the Avengers were scattered around the room, Steve was reading the Sokovia accords, Wanda was sitting next to Vision looking lost, Tony was sitting on a arm chair looking exasperated and Sam and Rhodey were arguing,

"General Ross has a congressional Medal of Honor, which is one more than you have" Rhodey said angrily to Sam,

"So let's say we agree to this, how longs it going to be until they LoJack us like a bunch of common criminals?" Sam replied, crossing his arms,

"117 countries want to sign this, 117, Sam, and your just like 'no that's cool. We got it'" Rhodey said aggressively,

"How long are you going to play both sides?" Sam asked,

"I have an equation" Vision butted in loudly,

"Oh, this will clear it up" Sam said sarcastically, making Amber chuckle into her cup, Sam turned and winked at the girl quickly before turning back to being serious,

"In the eight years since Mr. Stark announced he was Iron Man, the number of enhanced persons has grown exponentially. During the same period, the number of potentially world-ending events has risen at a commensurate rate" Vision said ignoring Sam's comment,

Steve looked up and raised his brow, "Are you saying this is our fault?" He asked,

"I'm saying there may be a causality. Our very strength invites challenge. Challenge invites conflict, and conflict, it breeds catastrophe" Vision said, "Oversight. Oversight is not an idea that can be dismissed out of hand",

"Boom" Rhodey said turning back towards Sam,

"Tony, you are being uncharacteristically non-hyperverbal" Natasha interrupted looking towards him,

"It's because he's already made up his mind" Amber said monotonously, to all of them, as she took another sip of her coffee,

"Boy, you know me so well" Tony replied in an equally monotonous tone, as he got up from his chair, and walked towards the kitchen

"Actually, I'm nursing an electromagnetic headache, That's what's going on, it's just pain. It's discomfort" Tony said grabbing a glass to get some water before stopping abruptly,

"Who's putting coffee grounds in the disposal?" He asked angrily everyone looked at Amber who had a mug of coffee in her hands, Amber glanced around the room, whistling innocently.

"Am I running a bed and breakfast for a biker gang?" He asked, looking at Amber accusingly, he took out his phone and placed it on the counter top, and tapped on it until a holographic image of a man popped up. The Avengers gave Tony a confused look.

"Oh, that's Charles Spencer by the way," Tony said, "He's a great kid. Computer engineering degree, 3.6 GPA, had a floor level gig at Intel planned for the fall. But first, he wanted a few miles on his soul, before he parked it behind a desk. See the world. Maybe be of service. Charles didn't want to go to Vegas or Fort Lauderdale, which is what I would do. He didn't got to Paris of Amsterdam, which sounds fun. He decided to spend his summer, making sustainable housing for the poor. Guess where. Sokovia,"

Tony hit his hand on the counter, as Amber looked down at the mention of her hometown, she could feel Sam and Steve's eyes on her.

"He wanted to make a difference I suppose, but we won't know because we dropped a building on him, while we were kicking ass," Tony said taking a drink of his beverage,

"There's no decision progress here, we need to be put in check." Tony continued, "Whatever form that takes, in game. If we can't accept limitations, if we're boundary-less, we're no better than the bad guys.",

"Tony, if someone dies on your watch, you don't give up," Steve began,

"Who says we're giving up?" Tony asked,

"We are, if we're not taking responsibility for our actions," Steve said, "This document just shifts the blame".

"Sorry, Steve, but that is dangerously arrogant" Rhodey butted in, "This is the United Nations we're talking about, not the World Security Council. It's not S.H.I.E.L.D., It's not Hydra,",

"No, but it's run by people who have agendas and agendas change" Steve argued,

"That's good. That's why I'm here. When I realised what my weapons were capable of in the wrong hands, I shut it down and stopped manufacturing." Tony said walking back towards the Avengers,

"Tony, you chose to do that. If we sign this, we surrender our right to choose" Steve snapped, "What if the panel sends us somewhere we don't think we should go? And like Amber said earlier, What if there's somewhere we need to go, and they don't let's us? We may not be perfect, but the safest hands are still our own."

"If we don't do this now, it's going to be done to us later. That's the fact. That won't be pretty." Tony said lowly,

"You're saying they'll come for me" Wanda said,

"We would protect you" Vision said, Amber rolled her eyes subtly, at their comments.

"Maybe Tony's right," Natasha said, "If we have one hand on the wheel, we can still steer. If we take it off...",

"Aren't you the same woman who told the government to kiss her ass a few years ago?" Sam interrupted,

"I'm just- I'm just reading the terrain" Natasha replied, "We've made some very public mistakes. We need to win their trust back."

"Focus up." Tony said looking at Natasha, "I'm sorry. Did I just mishear you? Or did you agree with me?"

"Oh, I want to take it back now" Natasha smirked,

"No, no, no, you can't retract it" Tony replied,

Steve's phone buzzed from his pocket, Amber watched as Steve's whole demeanor changed before her eyes. "I have to go" Steve said abruptly, getting up and walking out of the room, everyone looked at him as he left. Amber placed down her cup and trailed after him.

She found him leaning against the rails on the stairway, "Hey," She said quietly, Steve looked up, his eyes were red.

"It's her isn't it" Amber said placing a hand on his shoulder, Steve nodded. After Sokovia, Steve had told her all about Peggy and what she was like and what she did during her days in the war. He was taken aback when she hugged him tightly, "Even when I had nothing I always had her" Steve mumbled,

"When's her funeral?" Amber asked softly,

"Two days in London" Steve said pulling away from the hug,

"Do you want me to come, to support you?" Amber asked, "or you could just ask Sam to go..." she rambled,

"Amber it's ok, I'd like for you and Sam to come" Steve said looking her in the eyes.

Amber smiled at him in pity, "Well you can count on me to come Cap".

"I know."
