[There is the sound of buttons being a bit haphazardly mashed, and some slight shuffling. Eventually, there is a quiet 'oh', and the video flickers to life and reveals a handsome young man, dressed in a tight-fitting t-shirt and sweat pants.]

Sorry, folks, I'm still trying to figure out how things work around here. [He gives a little sheepish smile and ducks his head, before glancing back to the camera.] Uh. Hello, I'm Captain Steve Rogers. Some of you might know me as Captain America. I'm from Brooklyn, New York, and I was told that you could use my help up here.

There's not -- a lot for me to do at home right now, so here I am. [A little pause.] Though if anyone could catch me up on -- current events, back home, it'd be appreciated.

The barge can be a lot to take in even if you're from the 21st century. We've got people here from medieval times, even. So you're not alone.

[thestarspangledman]

Well, that's a little relief, anyway.

[ichoosefight]

I have to ask. Captain America? What's that about? [ Because Superhero Codenames and Civilian Names just don't happen in the same paragraph for her. ]

[thestarspangledman]

Kind of a stage name that stuck around, to be quite honest.

[ichoosefight]

That's kinda cute. By, you know, totally manly standards.

[thestarspangledman]

[A shrug.] It's fitting, I guess, or it was at the time.

[ichoosefight]

How's that?

[thestarspangledman]

There was a war on. People needed a hero.

[ichoosefight]

And you were that hero? They didn't start filming wars until Vietnam. Were you in the papers a lot?

[thestarspangledman]

I sure was, miss. The Commandos were too, of course.

[ichoosefight]

Very cool.

I hope you don't have too hard a time with the tech here.

[thestarspangledman]

[A little rueful grin.]

I figured out this much, didn't I?

[ichoosefight]

That's true. You didn't burn it for witchcraft or anything.

[thestarspangledman]

[An amused laugh.]

Pretty sure I don't believe in witches, miss.

[ichoosefight]

Then you haven't been here long enough.

[thestarspangledman]

Well, only been here a few hours. Give me some time.

[ichoosefight]

It won't take long. Have you met Wanda? She's my inmate, and probably the strongest magic user in the known universe. Multiverse. Both.
