I knew I should have looked up 'reality shows' a few months back.

[ The man who appears on the screen is currently looking at what seems to be a little notepad before adding the word 'space' next to the words 'reality tv'. Really, he could have done this space setting if it included an inter-galactic war or helping planets in peril.

But in all honesty, Steve Rogers: entertainer has never been his career choice and it's not his forte, either. At least now the whole thing doesn't include singing and girls in scandalously short skirts. ]

My name is Steve Rogers, currently aboard the SS Pathstone. I've done a little bit of reading while aboard the Marsiva. I understand there are those who are trying to help the people on the moon we're visiting, if there is anything you need, I'd do whatever I can do to help.

[ you might catch a glimmer of red and blue and silver just behind him. A wink as the light hits metal ]

The same goes for going home. I imagine people have already looked into ways for us to leave this place. No one should be taken anywhere against their will. I'd like to hear about the information you have managed to collect and I'll do everything I can to make sure everyone will be able to go home safely.

[ you all get a little smile. he's so awkward at these things, can you tell by now. ]

I heard I've missed quite a party.

About a year, but I don't think that's the norm. For most it's been less time.

There's a theory going around, though, that…have you heard of "pocket dimensions"?

-- I'm sure I know at least two people who do.

[ After all, Bruce and Tony are the front when it comes to science and understanding how these things work. Steve is the one catching up on them when it comes down to it. ]

But I don't. Is this supposedly a - pocket dimension?

That's the idea? Well, I mean, the idea is that we're here, and while we're doing things here, time isn't really moving forward back home. I'm not sure that anyone has tested this theory, but how would you? And stranger things have happened.

It makes sense. I heard a friend of mine was here a while back. We definitely would have known if he had gone missing, he's not the kind to stay quiet for long.

[ or at all. he's pretty sure they would have known if tony stark had disappeared even for a day ]

I really hope that's the case. If things are going normally, my sister is probably freaking out.

We'll get you back to her, I promise.

[ some would say it's not his place to make promises he cannot keep but for steve, his insistence on helping these people, his determination to do anything to protect them is enough to promise, at least, that he will take them all back home no matter what. ]

Is she your older sister?

Usually that's my line.

[ she smiles and nods at the last question ]

Just barely. I'm adopted, so she's a little older than me.

[ he has to smile in return ]

I imagine it still is. It's good. people need as much hope as they can get.

[ and nodding at her words, he adds, ]

I hope they are right and that she has no reason to worry.

[ it's a sweet thought, an odd comfort but comfort still. ]

Me too. I miss her, but she'd be really unhappy here.

I can only imagine.

[ he smiles a little ]

thank you. for telling me about her.

Oh, I haven't even gotten started, but I wouldn't want to bore you.

No chance of you doing that.

[ it's a comfort, being able to talk about home and family. a comfort that isn't steve's to have, not anymore but one that he will happily grant to anyone ]

What's her name?

Alex. She's a bio-engineer—one of the smartest and toughest people I know. The last thing I remember is us being separated, so that's kind of tough. I'm torn a lot between wanting her here and not wanting to inflict this situation on anyone.

I understand. I have some friends here, I feel the same about them. I'd send them back if I could but at the same time, while it's the right choice, it'll be a hard one.

[ he would have done it, too and would have missed every each one ]

Your sister sounds like a really special lady.

She is.

So you already know people here?

I have a part of my team here, alongside friends.

[ he nods ]

Though most of them can take care of themselves. They can probably read this which is why I'm telling you all of this. Can't risk trouble.

[ a little smile. between wanda and peggy, this note is very important. ]

Fear of retribution, eh?

I know my odds.

[ firm nod ]

Well if you want to gossip we could hang out sometime.

[ go...ssip?

he won't even know what to do with that, Kara. ]

Whenever you have the time, Kara. I'd always love to see you.

Oh, I have practically nothing but time. It's kind of hard for me to figure out how to say busy, you know?

I can imagine that.

[ not something he felt in a very long time but one he can distinctly remember from when he was much younger ]

What ship have you been assigned to?

I'm on the Tourist.

Winn's ship?

[ he knows he's not the captain but he's the first person associated with the place for him, the man who taught steve rogers how to text ]

I can be over in a few minutes.

You know Winn? He's my best friend!
