Captain Rogers, can your friendly neighbourhood town councilor take you out to lunch to discuss a few things?
Ms. Simmons, I would be delighted to go to lunch with you.
If you call me Steve.
If you call me Steve.
I have a wedding to officiate tomorrow, but what about the day after?
And I will try, but I may slip. You can call me Jemma though, if you want.

I have a class to teach at Julie's shop. How about Saturday?
Jemma... I'm not a Captain here. I'm just Steve.
Jemma... I'm not a Captain here. I'm just Steve.
Saturday would be perfect. I'm going to send you a map to Pulp Kitchen, it's my partner's restaurant.
[On his screen appears a map, complete with a marker saying Here There Be Food.]
Excuse me for saying, but I don't think you could ever be just Steve. That would be like Odysseus saying he's just a sailor, or Hercules saying he's just a wee bit strong.

Sounds like a plan to me. I can't wait to see it. And to finally meet you in person.
[He sees the map and laughs at the message. Then, he blushes HARD.]
That's very kind. And I'm flattered to hear it, but... We're not at home. It's different here. There's no war to fight. I... I'd like to try to be just Steve for a while. I've been the Captain for so long... Not sure I know how to be anything else.

Me too. I mean, meeting you in person, obviously because --
[Okay, she was doing so well in the babble department and there it is.]
It is different here, but who you are there still affects you. If I hadn't learned all I did from Director Coulson, I doubt I'd be an effective part of council. You don't have to be a captain here, but being the Captain is part of you, but now you get a chance to add to it.
Is 1 o'clock all right for lunch?

[Hi Steve, have a gravely concerned Amazon. If anyone else would sense trouble, she has a feeling it would be him.] I fear something is at work in the town, something causing old injuries to reform.
Diana. I... I just saw this. I was helping a friend of mine to the clinic. Something is going on. Something not good. Thankfully, I haven't been affected. We have to help these people.
It's like a contagion.
I have been bringing the affected to the clinic as well but that isn't solving what may be causing it.

That... Would make a lot of sense if a lot of people are all hit at one time. And why some people would be immune. We need to tell someone.
As I did also. It helps those who need help, but it won't stop the contation.

We should be able to reach someone on the town's council, shouldn't we? Someone at the clinic who can determine what this is and how to stop it? [For all their strength, all their enhanced abilities, all they can do is continue to shuttle the injured to the clinic and it's frustrating work.]
[It was very frustrating and he would be able to understand her feelings quite clearly.] We should seek someone out.
I need your help. Harry's at his restaurant, and he's gotten sick.
I can't go to him, and he needs help getting to the clinic.
I can't go to him, and he needs help getting to the clinic.
I'm at the clinic now. Diana and I have been helping transport people here. I can come get him or I can see I can find an available ambulance. I'll take care of it. I promise.
Where are you?
Where are you?
I will inquire at the clinic the next time I am there.
Be safe, Steve.
Be safe, Steve.
I've been using cars and they have these ATV type things, electric, to shuttle people to the clinic. I don't stay long before I go out again. It's... I'm exhausted.
They are working on a cure. I know there was a post. Allison was reaching out. They know.
How are you? Are you safe?

It hasn't been easy work.
Take a few moments and rest. If we need to we can operate in shifts until things calm down.
I saw. That is a relief.
[A smile. She's dirty, covered in blood and sweat, but unbowed.] Safe, yes. You?

[He's not that far off. He's dirty, with his uniform stained with sweat and blood. His hair is a mess and even his beard looks matted.]
I'll rest later... The others need us.
I'll rest later... The others need us.
[They're both a wreck, but there's something knowing she isn't alone, that they will both continue until everyone is taken care of.] They do.
When this is done, I think we need a good long spar in order to decompress, don't you?

Please, quickly. All of his injuries from his time in the alternate dimension are returning.
I am in the SHIELD House. Harry insists I'm not to see him.

I'm in transit. I'll get him.
Kind of agree with him.
Sorry, but I'm not sorry.

[Have a sweaty, exhausted soldier who grins widely at such an awesome idea.]
Words are hard right now, but yes, I think that's a good idea.

He wouldn't let me be alone in the clinic.
[Hell, the last two times she's awoken in the clinic, Harry's the first thing she's seen.
Time for a confession.]
I'm afraid for him. I don't know if I can do this without him.
