...I'm reasonably sure this is a real long shot, but, uh. Messages from home would be nice.


[He fidgets for a moment, then shrugs and smiles.]

So hi, this is Steve Rogers. Or Cap, if you like that better. I'd sure love to hear from you if you're out there.

Okay, you people are all crazy. "Cap" is in no way short for "Steve". It's like "Peg" and "Margaret". Your name is Marge and you deal with that!

[thestarspangledman]

No, but it is short for Captain America, ma'am. And I don't see anything wrong with the name Peggy.

[lizlemblerg]

My brain says "Captain America" is way longer than "Steve", but your jawline says...have you ever tried to cut a soft cheese with thing? Because ladies like cheese.

[rintintin]

Cap? Where are you?

[thestarspangledman]

[That voice sounds a little familiar. Younger, but familiar, and he's just staring at his comm, very cautious.]

Bucky? That you?

[rintintin]

Who else would it be? What gives, you go on a mission without me or something?

[cornfed]

Cap? [ Like Captain? ] Military, sir? [ yeah wut is goin' awn rn. ]

[thestarspangledman]

Yep. I served with the Howling Commandos.

[cornfed]

[ This sounds kind of familiar, actually. But he lets go the popculture references he could make in lieu of finding out what's happening. ] Any chance you could direct a fellow troop to the exit? I've uh... Got something kinda important going on back home.

[yo_angie]

Oh my God. You're Captain America!

[Deeeep breaths, Leonard. Don't spazz out on poor Cap.]

sfdghjkgyuhg HI LEONARD <3

[thestarspangledman]

[Okay, this? He is somewhat more equipped to deal with. So he gives a little sheepish grin and a wave.]

I am, yeah, uh. Hi there.

[gammabruce]

[Have a studious Bruce...who very quickly looks embarrassed.]

Sorry, Captain. I'm not sure how the lab's computer connected to yours. [Pause.] I didn't even know you had a computer in your room, truth be told.

[thestarspangledman]

Uh. Sorry, do I know you?

[And a shrug.] I don't, I'm still working on learning this thing. I think some wires might have gotten crossed.

[ducklips]

...Steve? Is that you?

[thestarspangledman]

Uh. ...Hi?

/dusts off muse

[apatriot]

Captain, what's going on? Why are you announcing who you are?

[thestarspangledman]

[Oh great, more people who know him. a beat.]

Sorry, I think we've got some wires crossed. Uh. You might know me, but I don't think I know you yet.

[witchofdesserts]

[There's a cute squishy something staring at Cap. She looks like a stuffed toy, if a stuffed toy were alive, and she seems to be having a tea party.]

[thestarspangledman]

...Uh. Hi, there.

[aubergine_cherub]

Hello! You're a soldier from America, aren't you?

[Well, she's wearing a dress from his era. It's purple. She's very proud of it.]

[thestarspangledman]

[And he kind of immediately softens, grinning.]

Hi, sweetheart. I sure am, you can call me Captain Rogers.

[goodbyenaziballs]

[There's a fizt. And then a clunk. And then there's a man in brown clothing-from his era-staring at the screen with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The thing is, Steve might recognize what's in the background. It's four guys and four trussed up nazis. The man watching the screen attempts to wave over them.]

Apache. Bear Jew. [And then, in German.] There's Americans on the TV. Something you want to tell me?

[thestarspangledman]

[And Steve is staring back, shoulders just a little tense at the German. He responds in the same language, however, though it is a bit halting and he probably has a terrible accent.]

My name is Rogers. Are you a friend? [He's hoping so, mainly because of the 'Apache' he heard there.]

[sexiestbox]

I knew a captain... Know? Knew know.... [Have they met yet? Linear words are confusing.]

[thestarspangledman]

I don't suppose it was a Captain Rogers?
