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.

I heard I've missed quite a party.
action;
[ right down to the big brother intercepting and reading it part. ]
Wanna try sending me one?
action;
[ he smiles, starts tweaking with the thing ]
I'm getting better at technology but these still confuse me.
[ you just have to admit you're an old man, steve ]
action;
[ he's seen worse, and it wasn't even just here, sad as that is. so steve gets a smile in return. ]
action;
[ he sends a text, makes sure the encryption is right ]
Got through ok?
action;
Just fine - the most important thing to remember with these is get the contact right, you don't wanna accidentally text the whole fleet.
action;
[ he nods. if steve rogers ever accidentally texted his entire contact list, short as it may be, at home then he doesn't speak about it. ]
How much have you been able to determine about the network that connects these?
action;
[ he looks at steve. how can he say it in a way this guy'll understand how unlikely and severe that is? ]
-- imagine you not being able to punch through a wall. [ he just looks like the wall-punching type. what are those biceps, dude? ]
action;
[ for all that it was 70 years ago. he smiles a little, gives him a pat on the shoulder. ]
you'll figure it out. we're lucky to have someone who knows what they're doing then it comes to these things.
[ god knows steve doesn't ]
action;
It all depends on why I'm having such a hard time. If it's a matter of time, yeah I'll get it. But if it's something to do with the implant - we won't get anywhere until we manage to bypass it.
[ he doesn't address the compliment because even though it's been repeated to him by so many people - kara's lucky to have you - he's still not sure he believes it. for all his theories, he hasn't been able to achieve anything meaningful yet. unless one counts migraines, that is.
but he won't give up, either. ]
You've been told to leave them alone, right? Trying to yank them out's as terrible an idea as you'd think it is. [ and not just because they're something attached to your brain. ]
action;
[ he nods, looks at the comm before looking back at him ]
You think that thing can work against us like that?
action;
action;
[ he looks down at his hands ]
I don't feel any change but maybe others do.
action;
action;
[ and that's saying it kindly ]
but if you need anything that I can do, you can contact me at any time.
action;
[ he shouldn't just assume it's punching and kicking, right? ]
action;
[ after all, isn't it what the Avengers are all about? ]
keeping people safe from harm.
[ battling alien armies, demi gods and AI robots gone out of control, the normal stuff ]
action;
he nods. so kicking and punching. figures. ]
They seem to kinda have a hero-fetish around here.
[ maybe this whole thing is a test - to see if they can make their way out? if that's so, maybe being the one to do it is a terrible idea. maybe it's the way to survive. he doesn't know, and he can't allow himself to dwell on it because one way or another they have to get back, and he has to take kitty with him. ]
action;
I'm beginning to think they really do. A lot of my old team is stationed here across the ships. I was beginning to wonder why they brought us all together here.
[ in a way, it's good. the more Avengers, the more people to help him protect the others if the need will arise ]
action;
Avengers, right? [ he's aware of at least two main universes those are from. ] Which ones are your teammates?
action;
[ and after a moment ]
Alongside Peggy Carter, their captain.
[ and while she may not be an Avenger, he's including her in the list since she had earned it through and through with what she had done for the world. there wouldn't be a SHIELD or the Avengers without her work earlier in history. ]
action;
[ oh, is he noticing a familiar sort of look there, at the mention of that last name? ]
action;
[ to say the least.
also look.
what look.
no look.
nope. ]
action;
How big's the difference?
[ steve gets all the sympathy for that - being ahead of kara was rough. being behind her - is also rough. but he knows it can be so much worse, they're never separated by that big a gap, at least. ]
action;
Some of us a matter of months, the most - 70 years give or take.
[ this will never not be very painful ]
action;
[ jesus. and he thought he had problems with kara. 70 years. do they even know each other? is it a - wise-old-mentor turned bratty-kid situation? man, this really has to be a reality show, because it's too crazy for real-reality. ]
Are you behind or ahead?
