She is.

[ he doesn't want her to know about SHIELD, not really. he had it taken apart exactly because he knew she would have done the same if she were to find out what happened to the very thing she worked so hard on, not only HYDRA but the entire project insight matter. ]

Our world needs more people like her. She may not have super powers but she saved the world just as much as I did.

Every world needs heroes.

[ it makes him think of kate - saving lives with her bow and arrow, or whatever she has lying around. so many people are doing everything they can, pushing themselves to the limit in order to make their worlds a better place. and he...he still can't even land a punch on jim. even if he could (which, he honestly doubts would ever happen) he's too scared to be actively violent, scared of where it could lead him.

helping the heroes get the job done has to count for something too, right? while they're training, they don't have time to do the research necessary for backstage support. that's why it's backstage. ]

Kara's sister's like that, 100% badass and brilliant.

[uprightness]

Alex.

[ he nods. it seems to be a thing between those two, saving the world, helping people, each in her own way. he never enlisted to be Captain America, he would have done anything he could have in the army, just to serve. ]

At least now you know I wasn't kidding about being smaller than you.

[winn]

Yeah -- yeah your story checks out.

[ he smiles a little. ]

Though, I mean, you're Rambo now, so I dunno that it counts anymore.

[uprightness]

-- That's a film, right? I'm pretty sure that's a film.

[ Sam said something about it, he's pretty sure. the name rings a bell, anyway. ]

[winn]

Yeah, yeah that's a film.

[ he offers him a hand ]

Ok either you sit down, or help me up, looking up that far is killing my neck.

[uprightness]

-- Sorry.

[ he gets a bit of a sheepish smile as he sits down. ]

I'm still catching up on those things, films, music, technology. It's a learning process, I did miss 70 years, the world changed quite a bit. Films in color, 3D -

[ ... ]

Twitter.

[ that he'll never understand. ]

[winn]

[ he lets his hand drop, and smiles more genuinely now, feeling calmer now that steve doesn't seem angry anymore. ]

Oh man, I could give you the ultimate education on all of these if I just had my laptop and like -- a couple hard drives. [ the internet is asking too much, he knows, but come on, at least give him his media library! ] Or well, at least the ultimate education on pop culture and technology of my world - but they seem similar enough that it'll take.

[ the release of nervous energy results in babbling, sorry steve. ]

Twitter has some really cool stuff on it, like historical accounts relaying daily news from years ago that -- probably wouldn't be very interesting for you -- it's got something for everyone, though. And a lot of trolls and spam accounts. But I could weed those out for you.

[uprightness]

[ he has to concentrate very keenly if he wants to follow along these waters, Winn talks and parts of it he understands just fine while the others - he's pretty sure there are some terms that needs to catch up on ]

Trolls?

[ cue confusion. ]

[winn]

Eh -- you know that bored kid in the back of the class disrupting everything cuz they think it's hilarious and nobody ever agrees? They're the online version of that, basically.

[uprightness]

So you're fighting bullies online.

[ he smiles a bit. you're the network's super hero winn. all safe cyberspaces need one ]

You know, I should introduce you to a friend of mine, he's a bit of an expert in technology.

[ with a firm warning that he must behave since tony stark ]

[winn]

Oh yeah, online, I'm the Superhero.

[ or more like, the guerrilla fighter cuz he doesn't really tend to take people on head-on, just sneakily kicking them out. of course, there's so much online bullying to really take it on he'd have to quit his job and his life and his sleep and do nothing but deal with them 24/7, and he still wouldn't really make a dent but...why get into specifics when you're making a joke? kind of ruins the punchline.

leaning in with obvious excitement! another nerdbro? yes please! ]

Yeah - introduce me! Who is it, what's his specialty?

[uprightness]

His name's Tony, Tony Stark. I knew his father, too, back at the war. He's one of the top minds when it comes to technology, he built everything from peacekeeping robots to technologies of clean energy.

[ he won't, by any means, speak of the Ultron mess. He came down hard on Stark when the whole thing happened but he will never speak to others of Tony's errors.

they don't see eye to eye on most things but it doesn't mean Steve doesn't appreciate him. ]

He's a bit of a character but I think you'll like him.
