[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.

dreamwidth stop thing things from me

[What. Is. This. Erik takes a moment to cue up his feed, because he never actually thought he'd see the Captain in person. He hadn't even known Steve Rogers existed until after he'd escaped the camp; it wasn't as if Herr Schmidt had kept him up to date on current events while experimenting on him.]

That depends on your definition of current.

Nope

[thestarspangledman]

[He would have helped you if he could have, Erik.]

Oh, uh, anything after 1943, I guess.

[wecanavenge]

The Korean War, an arms race with Russia, witch hunts in America. You've missed quite a bit. [He's as dry as could be. It's everything you were fighting for, right bro.]

I take it reports of your death were overrated.

<3?

[thestarspangledman]

So I've heard. [A slight frown.] Doesn't exactly sound appealing.

Well, I was more frozen than dead, or so they tell me.

<3 also lmao I just realized I typo'd up there, I'm observant :v

[wecanavenge]

It isn't. But that's human nature, isn't it. [It's not a question.]

A remarkable feat. Or perhaps not quite so, for a super soldier.

pfff no worries <3

[thestarspangledman]

...Unfortunately. [And the opposite of what he wanted, but.]

I guess. It's --certainly confusing, I'll give it that.

<3!

[wecanavenge]

Yes. Unfortunately. [He doesn't think coming out and saying 'its okay, they'll be replaced soon anyway' is the best move right now.]

When were you revived?

[thestarspangledman]

[A little sigh.]

Just before I got here. Or that's when I woke up, anyway.

[wecanavenge]

What year?

[thestarspangledman]

2011, is what they told me.

[wecanavenge]

And I suppose the mutant population is still hiding themselves, hm?

[thestarspangledman]

[A moment of silence while he just -- takes that in.]

I've never heard of them, so I'm going to assume that's an affirmative.

[wecanavenge]

[The distaste is on his face, even if he holds back the scoff.] Half a century, and nothing will change.

They promised freedom and peace in America. I see it still isn't forthcoming.

[thestarspangledman]

I'll be working on that once I get back. Hopefully.

[wecanavenge]

"Hopefully?" [Whatchu talkin bout, Rogers.]

[thestarspangledman]

Depends on if I'm given a mission, is all. I think they may have had something else in mind for me before I got here.

[wecanavenge]

And what might that be? [Guess how mutant freedom ranks on his to do list. :c]

[thestarspangledman]

Director Fury wasn't exactly clear about details.

[wecanavenge]

And what organization have they appointed to keep the peace in 2011?

[thestarspangledman]

All I know of is a group called SHIELD.

[wecanavenge]

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.
