steve wouldn’t describe himself as ‘ WRACKED WITH GUILT ’ over the circumstances that befell rebecca barnes —— it was not far off, but still, not yet there. becca had, like himself and bucky, been granted a second shot at life ; not without the baggage from the one previous, but a. a SECOND SHOT. and, while he was trapped under ice, she had become a grown woman. she could make decisions for herself, and it was not steve’s role to protect her from herself. he didn’t need to, anyways. “ i need some hair dye if you see any. any DARK BROWN SHADE, the roots at coming in. ”
if steve hadn’t long-familiarized himself with the willful blindness of others, he’d be surprised by the ease in which he was able to blend into the crowd, a bushy beard, brown dye and nondescript clothes causing his 6′2″ frame to fade into the background like he was scrawny again. of course, steve’s presence did not demand attention. captain america’s did, but he wasn’t — that — any more. “ i can’t think of anything else, though. have we got enough food for the next couple days? don’t want to make too many trips, may as well do it all at once. actually, do you want me to come with you? just in case it gets rough, or something — it’s late, after all. ”
rebecca MADE A QUICK NOTE on the small list that her brother had given her. glancing it over she shook her head. she had planned on going out later in the week to get them some more food but it made more sense if she just got the food now instead of waiting until they had nothing left to eat.tucking the list into her pocket, she offered steve a warm smile. she was thankful for the second chance that she had been given and she planned on living her new life to the fullest.
unfortunately, the world was a lot less safe than it was when she was younger ( not that it was any better then ) so she thought IT WAS A GOOD IDEA if steve went with her. plus, she would need help getting the extra grocery items. she wouldn’t be able to carry all those bags by herself.
“ if you would like to come with me that’d be great. I know that if I pick up any food I’ll need some help carrying the extra bags up here. what time did you want to leave? ”
“ hey I was GOING TO GO PICK you guys up somethings from the store. is there anything else you need before I leave? buck gave me a list but it’s small. I’ve got some extra cash if you wanna add anything else to the list. ”
it was summer break and instead of spending it with friends she opted to go stay with her brother and those who helped save him; steve included. when her friends asked where she was going, she simply said she felt like traveling abroad ( which wasn’t exactly a lie ). she KNEW THEY WERE moving from place to place to keep off the radar so she had to be extremely careful.
01. first off I do not claim to be Rebecca Barnes or Troian Avery Bellisario. Rebecca Barnes belongs to the creative minds at Marvel (I also don’t have any connections with them either). This is simply a role play account. All writing and head canons on this account come from my own mind and therefore do belong to me.
02. this blog is currently private & selective which means I will only interact with mutuals unless stated otherwise. this goes for starter calls, memes, etc. there might be a time where I will tag something ( open to all. ) which means everyone can reply but other than that, everything is mutuals only.
03. with that being said, this is my portrayal of Rebecca so please no god - moding. I will control my muses actions and you can control yours. if there is something that you feel you need to write to move the story line forward, please let me know and I’m sure we can work something out.
04. I have a few other blogs that I run so I split my time between those blogs and here. If I don’t get back with you right away that’s why but I try to reply to everyone within a few days. if for some reason I haven’t responded to you in over a week please feel free to send me a message.
05. Rebecca is a character that is not mentioned much in the comics other than being Bucky's sister and she was also not mentioned in the MCU. So therefore I have shifted things around to make her fit into the MCU. If you would like to know more about my intrepretation of Rebecca you can click here.
06. like I mentioned above, I try to reply to everything within a few days of receiving them. I am a full time college student so sometimes my replies will be a bit slow (school always comes first). so I don’t get behind or anything, I put most of my replies in the queue and have them post that way.
07. all of the icons and graphics on this page were created on me so please do not steal them. if you would like something made, please don’t hesitate to ask and I can see what I can do for you. I’m not the biggest fans of commissions so I won’t ever charge anyone for anything.

Rebecca Eloise Barnes was born in Brooklyn, NY on October 28th, 1923 to George and Winfred Barnes; the youngest of four. The apple of her parents eye, she was raised to be a proper young woman who would make any young suitor swoon. She was intelligent with a great sense of humor but she also knew how to bend the rules. Growing up, you could always find her hanging out with her brother James and his best friend Steven. She and her siblings grew even closer once their parents passed away and James became their legal guardian.
Once her brother went off to war, Rebecca married young and had three children of her own; the oldest son she named after her brother. Despite a few hardships, Rebecca managed to live a simple life. On November 1, 2013 surrounded by her children and grandchildren, Rebecca passed away four days after her 80th birthday.
REBECCA E. BARNES Wife, Mother & FriendOctober 28, 1923 - November 1, 2013
Less than one year after Rebecca passed away, she found herself awake in the middle of a clearing. Afraid, Rebecca ran and found herself far away from her hometown of Brooklyn, NY. She knew enough of the landmarks of this new city to realize that she was now in Washington, D.C. As she walked along the streets, she managed to glance into a reflective surface to see that she was no longer the 80 year old woman who lived in a nursing home; she was back to her old self -- her 18 year old self. It was then that she was approached by a familiar face -- Steven Rogers. She had heard about him time and time again, but she mainly kept a low profile. He had his new life and it was one that she was not a part of anymore.
With his help, she managed to secure a small apartment that was kept off of S.H.I.E.L.D.S radar. It seemed as if she was given another chance at life and that, she was not going to take advantage of. Rebecca managed to get into Georgetown University to study Business. During those four years, a ghost from her past came around. She found out about her brother and the evil that he had done. Knowing that all of it had been out of his control, once she graduated in the spring of 2018 she enrolled at Harvard Law School where she currently resides and works as a legal aide for one of her professors. With what freetime she does have, Rebecca uses her skills to help her brother and his friends stay below the radar.
