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.

Comments

[notmutantbutmiracle]

I am. And I would like that.

[She smiles, small but kind.]

I did not realize you were assigned to our ship.

[uprightness]

I wasn't - at first.

[ this will be forever awkward ]

The captain asked me if I'd like to stay, I said yes.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

I figured she would.

[Wanda gives Steve a sly, knowing smile.]

[uprightness]

[ wow wanda what is this look ]

-- that way I could see you whenever you need me to.

[ this is what it's all about wanda, clearly ]

[notmutantbutmiracle]

Oh?

[She's having fun now. It's been a while since she got to tease someone else like this. Poor Max has been suffering for months now.]

Just me?

[uprightness]

[ he sighs, smiling a bit. he's going to humor her only because it's her and it's good to see her smiling ]

I'm - happy to be close to her, too.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[There's a little smug satisfaction on Wanda's face. She can't help it. It's just cute to be in on Steve and Peggy's relationship.]

I imagine things might be a bit awkward at first. All that time spent apart.

But I know she will be very happy to see you. That is, if she has not already contacted you?

[And don't bother trying to hide it Steve. She'll know.]

[uprightness]

We talked.

[ they've kissed. he won't tell wanda that, however. the look on her face clearly signals he won't be hearing the end of it ]

It's been a while for us.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda's eyebrows arch slightly, a coy smile lingering on her face. She'll infer what exactly they "talked" about. Her expression and tone then grow more sympathetic, as she knows this next question might be a bit difficult to answer. If Steve even wished to share with her at all.]

Is it hard? Meeting again under such odd circumstances?

[uprightness]

No.

[ it's quick and honest to a fault. he can see why she would ask, he sees the difficulties clear and simple, the complexity of this experience but one thing remains steady and true. ]

It doesn't really matter where or when. I'm always just grateful to have her.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda can't help but smile at that. Steve's conviction, the certainty in his words, it was rather sweet, and Wanda couldn't help but find the whole thing rather romantic.]

I suppose you both must have a lot of catching up to do.
