[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.

I'm sure they thought that was an apt name.

[thestarspangledman]

They must have. [An awkward shrug.]

[wecanavenge]

And once this SHIELD's finished with you, Captain. What then?

[thestarspangledman]

I guess I'll keep doing what I've been doing. Helping people. Protecting people.

[wecanavenge]

How lucky, for the people you reach.

[thestarspangledman]

I guess so. I just ....think that people should help out the little guy a bit more often.

[wecanavenge]

The 'little guy' tends find a way to manage on his own.

[thestarspangledman]

Oh, I know. I used to be one.

[wecanavenge]

So did I.

[thestarspangledman]

Help is still appreciated. Even if it's not exactly asked for.

[wecanavenge]

No, it's not.

[thestarspangledman]

...Well hell, if I didn't appreciate Bucky's help, I woulda been laying in every alley in Brooklyn beaten to a pulp at one point or another.

[wecanavenge]

[Erik doesn't particularly feel like going into detail; he didn't have a friend looking out for him like that, it was always him...and Shaw. So instead of a snide retort, he pushes it aside.]

Fortunate that you had someone, then.

[thestarspangledman]

I sure was. He had my back for fifteen years.
