ROGERS: The Musical

Chapter One: Aricka gets a Call

(Aricka and Steve Rogers, Aricka x Bucky Barnes, Aricka and the Avengers)

*now*

“Save the city

Help us win

Save us all from

The state we're in

Things look dark but

I know this can't be the end

Can’t be the end-!” Aricka grabs Aaron’s hands and kicks her legs out; spinning as he lifts her, and assuming a “hero” pose as she lands.

“Avengers unite-!” She shouts, performing a jazz square and twirling so she’s back to back with “Steve” aka Aaron,

“'Cause we've got to hear you say…” the avengers sing, as Aaron leans again Aricka, both looking at each other and singing,

“I could do this all day-!”

How did this happen-? Aricka thought with an exhilarated smile on her face; Aaron lifting her high in the air, her fist punching the air. From a workshop to the stage- this little idea of a tribute to her brother finally was taking off.

*then*

Aricka was lulling Sarah Beth to sleep, Kobik and RJ already asleep in their respective rooms. “Oh, the waves roll low

And the waves roll high

And so it goes

Under the bright blue

Endless Sky…”

She ran her fingers through silky blonde curls, Sarah fighting sleep as she cuddled her Bucky bear- a brown teddy bear dressed in an old Henley that belonged to Jamie.

“Waves try to measure

The days that we treasure

Wave hello

And wave goodbye…” finally, blue eyes shut and Sarah fell asleep with a soft sigh. Aricka stepped out of her youngest’s room and shut the door, startling slightly when she saw Bucky there, a soft little smile on his face. “Hi Jamie. She tried insisting on waiting til you finished the debriefing but I managed to get her to sleep.” She stepped into his space, wrapping her arms around him. “I’m so glad you’re back.”

“That makes two of us.” Just as he was about to say something else, her phone rang. Aricka frowned and accepted the call.

“Hello?”

“Hi, Mrs. Barnes?”

“This is she.” Bucky gave her a confused look, but she shrugged.

“Hi! This is Hunter Bell. We’re working on a musical tribute for your brother, and we were wondering with your musical expertise, would you be interested in playing yourself?”

Aricka gasps, seemingly frozen in place. Bucky gently gripped her arm, getting her attention.

“… it’s a Broadway producer- they’re making a musical about Steve- they want me to be- myself!”

Bucky’s lips tipped upwards in another of his heart melting smiles as he whispered, “Well-? Tell them yes-!”

She grinned. “When do I need to be there?”

Stumbling blindly toward the light…

(Aricka Rogers)

(Post Infinity War. The song lyrics reflect Aricka’s thoughts moments after the Blip.)

(TW: heavy grief mention, brief mention of blood, allusion to the train incident. If I missed anything let me know-!

I've seen dark before

But not like this

This is cold

This is empty

This is numb….

Aricka looks around the room askance, the sensation of dried tears, blood and mucus covering her entire body. It felt like she’d just fallen back into the ice, like she was back on the plane and she was falling…. Falling…. Falling….

The life I knew is over

The lights are out

Hello, darkness

I'm ready to succumb…

Bucky. He was gone again. Taken by another force beyond her control. They were expecting their first child, and Thanos took him. Took her husband away from her again.

Were they doomed to be apart forever-?

I follow you around

I always have

But you've gone to a place I cannot find…

Aricka wish she was with Bucky. She wish the dust had claimed her, so they at least were together. Right now it was hard to take a breath, let alone picture the next- infinity- without Bucky.

This grief has a gravity

It pulls me down….

She’d grieved before. She’d mourned a whole lifetime- friends, family and loved ones. She had mourned a lost childhood, a lost adulthood. She was forever caught in between, forever a young adult. But this grief- the grief of having Bucky in her grasp for the first time in years- only to have him pulled so viciously away from her when it had seemed like she finally got to keep him.

It was all she could do to not fall to the ground and never get back up.

But a tiny voice whispers in my mind

"You are lost, hope is gone

But you must go on

And do the next right thing"….

The only thing keeping her from doing just that- keeping her from falling to the floor and melting into it- was currently six months old growing in her womb.

Little Sarah Elisabeth Barnes. Her ray of hope. Her and Bucky’s little princess. Their second chance.

And Bucky wouldn’t want her to give up on him, not just because he’d faded to dust right in front of her.

Can there be a day beyond this night?

I don't know anymore what is true….

White static filled her ears, dry cotton her mouth. She wrapped both arms around her stomach; protecting her baby- who’d miraculously survived the attack- and hugged it as close as she could.

I can't find my direction, I'm all alone

The only star that guided me was you….

For so long, it’d been her, Steve and Jamie. Then it was her and Steve. And then it seemed like the trio was back-

And then this happened.

Would Steve still have her-? Would he still be her guiding light-? Ever since the Incident that was the Civil War things had felt so different between them.

How to rise from the floor

When it's not you I'm rising for?

How could she bear it without her Jamie-? Without her soulmate, the air in her lungs, the sun in her sky, the light of her life.

Just do the next right thing

Take a step, step again…

Looking up, she sees Steve heading towards her from across the field- and she takes a step. And another. Again and again; until she was running.

It is all that I can to do

The next right thing…

The feet between them seemed endless, and she saw Steve was running too- and for two super soldiers it shouldn’t take this long to run to each other but it felt like an eternity.

I won't look too far ahead

It's too much for me to take….

She wouldn’t look too far into the future. It would break her. But she looked at Steve- and she knew she could run to her big brother and he would fix as much of the problem as he was able.

But break it down to this next breath

This next step

This next choice is one that I can make…

She slowed as she reached him; Steve mimicking her actions, and she barrels into his arms, the first wave of emotions nearly knocking her to her knees.

So I'll walk through this night

Stumbling blindly toward the light…

Steve held her- strong and steady- an anchor in her current storm. The lighthouse on the raging sea she was currently tempestuous on. She burrowed deep into that strong grip, those sure arms; that steady heartbeat that had always been a source of hope and home.

And do the next right thing

And with the dawn, what comes then

When it's clear that everything will never be the same again?

“Let’s go home Aricka,” Steve says. “We need to regroup and regather, figure out who all-,” and he stops. But she knew what he was going to say.

Then I'll make the choice

To hear that voice

And do the next right thing…

“We need to keep going- and do the next right thing,” she whispered.

And with that, Steve scooped her up, and carried her to the quinjet, where the next right thing waited for her.

But you're so precious to me, Sweet as can be, baby of mine

(Mini-Science Siblings)

(De-aged science siblings, part of a series I’m working on. 16 year old Aricka sings a new song she learned for her newfound siblings.)

(Top to bottom: Aricka, Tony, Bruce.)

“C’mon, Tony; Shh. It’s naptime, Buddy. I promise I’ll stay with you the whole time, but you gotta close your eyes for a little bit. Shh, shhh shh…” Aricka paced helplessly as she struggled to get the now-miniature version of her big brother to sleep for even fifteen minutes.

But, he associated sleep with being alone, thus he was fighting her tooth and nail to not sleep. “Tony…” she whispered, glancing at Bruce, who had a grip on the hem of her shirt, chewing his lower lip anxiously. Both of them had their memories of adulthood, but they mostly had a childlike mindset at the moment.

“Baby upset?” He asks. Aricka nods, rocking Tony side to side, one hand cradling his bottom and the other cradling his head to her shoulder.

“He doesn’t like being lonely; like you, huh Brucie?” She hums. He nods,

“Is scary,” he says.

“I know. But I think I have an idea, if you want me to try?” Bruce nods, wayward fingers sliding toward his lips.

“P’ease.” She nods and walks over to the “nest” of blankets the two slept together in. They had escaped capture two weeks ago, and had found this abandoned building far enough away from their captors that they could rest until they figured out a way to find help.

“Hey Tony; it’s okay baby, I know you’re so sleepy, but would you like a song to help you relax? Aricka’s gonna stay right here. Stevie and Jamie are on a supply run, Thor, Loki and Nattie are watching for them. Clinty Wanda and Pietro are getting ready for bed too; they’re helping baby Petey remember? It’s okay, honey. You’re not gonna ever be alone ever again. I won’t let that happen. Shh….”

She kept up a soothing litany as she sat down, cuddling the exhausted five year old as close as possible. “I learned a new song Brucie. Before we got taken. Would you like to be one of the first to hear it?” Bruce nods; the same curious light he had as an adult ever present in six year old eyes.

“You both know you’re my babies, right?” Bruce nods, having just accepted that Aricka was gonna be there for a long, long time. Even after they became adults again.

Tony merely snuggled closer to Aricka’s warmth, “mhm,” but didn’t say so much as a single word.

“Aricka loves you both so, so much. I’m so lucky to be your big sister, and your little sister when we’re adults.” She ran a hand through messy sandy-brown hair, then through chocolate-caramel curls. “This song is for both of you. To keep. Okay? Even when we’re big. I’m gonna be there to sing our song whenever you need to hear it.”

Bruce nods, fingers dropping from his face to link both hands around Aricka’s arm. He was getting more confident in reaching out for the gentle touches, hugs and kisses Aricka readily offered. She smiles and presses a kiss to both his and Tony’s foreheads. “My good boys,” she whispers. “So sweet. I love you both so much.” With that; she settles back and clears her throat, before softly beginning to sing, and if the gasp that escaped Bruce was anything to go by: the boy recognized the song and what she was trying to convey.

“Baby mine, don't you cry

Baby mine, dry your eyes…” she wipes at Tony’s face, cupping the tiny chin between her thumb and index finger.

“Rest your head close to my heart

Never to part, baby of mine, hmm…” she lifts her arm and drapes it carefully, gently, around Bruce’s shoulders.

“Little one, when you play

Don't you mind what they say

Let those eyes sparkle and shine

Never a tear, baby of mine…” her hand moves to carefully brush through Bruce’s curly hair, and the boy leaned against her, looking up at her like she was the most amazing person to ever exist.

She felt the same way about the two boys in her arms.

“If they knew sweet little you…” here she tipped Tony’s chin up so she could look him in the eye; and send this message home.

“They'd end up loving you too…” those expressive chocolate colored eyes widened and more tears form as she promised him,

“All those same people who scold you

What they'd give just for the right to hold you…”

If people had just looked at Tony and Bruce and saw them for the wonders they were, purely for how good they were, and how they kept waking up to live another day even though they’d gone through so much pain, then maybe more people would love them as much as Aricka did.

“From your head down to your toes…” here she taps Tony’s nose, and Bruce’s little shoes, making twin giggles escape both boys, a sound that was as precious as music to Aricka’s ears.

“You're not much, goodness knows…” She taps Bruce’s shoulder and sings the next part to him,

“But you're so precious to me

Sweet as can be, baby of mine

Hmm-mm…” he smiles at her, a genuine Brucie smile, a shy, sweet one that said more than he could possibly express with words.

“If they knew sweet little you

They'd end up loving you too

All those same people who scold you

What they'd give just for the right to hold you…” Tony curled up in her arms, thumb in his mouth, one arm wrapped around her neck, head resting on her chest. Bruce still had his arms around one of Aricka’s, but his eyes were closed, breathing beginning to slow.

“From your head down to your toes

You're not much, goodness knows

But you're so precious to me

Sweet as can be, baby of mine

Baby of mine

Baby of mine…” by the time Aricka finished repeating the last verse, Tony was fast asleep, fingers curled in the collar of her shirt, mouth open slightly, allowing the tiniest of snores to escape the toddler. Bruce was asleep too, leaning completely against Aricka, who hadn’t stopped her careful, loving ministrations of brushing her fingers through his hair.

“That was beautiful.” She startled completely at the sound of someone speaking.

Blue eyes look up to see a matching pair looking down at her. Blue eyes that reminded her of home. “Stevie.” She says. “They just fell asleep. I promised I wouldn’t leave them.”

“I know you would.” He hands her a purple blanket. “Grabbed this for you. Used Tony’s card like you suggested to. It should get ahold of someone we trust. Like Phil or Pepper.”

Aricka nods. “Don’t use it again for a while, in case our captors look for us. Only for emergencies.” He nods.

“How’s it feel?” He asked. “Being the big sibling.”

Aricka smiles shyly, “I’m so thankful that I had you as an example of what a big sibling should act like. You always looked out for me, but you never controlled me. You let me learn the hard way sometimes, but you never guilt tripped me for anything.”

If Tony and Bruce thought Aricka hung the moon in the sky, then Aricka thought Stevie hung the dang sun in the sky. Her whole world used to revolve around her big brother, she wouldn’t even wiggle without his express permission at one point. She was a bit older now and a tad more independent, but she would always need her Steve. Always.

Jamie, followed by Thor, Loki, Natasha, Clint, Wanda, and Pietro holding the littlest of their family, little Peter, filtered into the bed area of their hideout. They all settled around Aricka, Steve and the two little boys in Aricka’s arms. Peter ended up crawling over to steal some of Aricka’s warmth as well, the four year old smiling sleepily up at her as she opened her arm to him, letting him crawl up right beside Tony, who didn’t so much as twitch during the entire exchange.

Jamie kissed her cheek, and Aricka outright blushed at that, smiling sweetly at her boyfriend. He smiled just as shyly back, before he settled down beside her, Bruce loosely cuddled between them.

Presently, every single one of them began to drift off to sleep, Aricka noting that Thor had decided to take the first watch, him smiling reassuringly at her. She smiles back, no words needed between them.

That was the last thing she remembered before she let her eyes slip shut, and sleep claimed her until she was needed to take the watch.

For now, however, her family was all she needed.
