Who: steve rogers circa civil war + you, yes you
Broadcast: nope
Action: various;
When: throughout january
[ new year, new memories and what begins as one monstrous headache.
it takes a couple of hours to sort through everything that's new, to make sense of a kaleidoscope of memories, images and sounds. at first, he starts writing it all down, lagos, the sokovia accords, the UN, black panther.
Only the dry details and nothing of what starts to weight down on his shoulders, faces and names that inspire a heavy, intimate, terrible sort of pain.
And so an avoidance of a sort begins that lasts through the two days the new year. Hours upon hours spend on the library aboard the Iskaulit, reading books and making nothing of them. It's an odd sight, Steve Rogers in one of the corners of the room, staring at a book and randomly picking up a notepad and writing something down ( another detail that comes up, scott lang or spiderman ) and then staring at the notepad only to go back and stare at the book.
He might also be found at odd hours at the gym; evidently, taking out his burdens on a punching bag, seemingly lost in thought even as takes out what seems to be a world of trouble on the thing.
It will take these two days of isolation before those of the fleet start seeing steve rogers off the Iskaulit. He'll make a return to the Starkstruck, though this return, too, will be a reclusive matter one will have to actively seek him to find him in the weaponry or otherwise, in his room. ]

[ he frowns; how to explain this? this kaleidoscope of information and feelings? ]
At first, Cap was meant for propaganda, selling war bonds, touring America. Peggy always thought I was meant for more than that.
[ even when steve himself couldn't see it. a lab rat or a dancing monkey - Peggy had offered him the third option. He thinks he was a fool not to see it; as a woman, agent Carter probably needed to create and mold third options for herself for years. ]
After the war - I was gone but from the little I know, Cap returned to be all about entertainment. She had to put up with a lot. It was a different world - I think it made her resent Cap even more.

Also, she can't really believe she's admitting this to him. She's going to blush or take it back if she thinks about it very hard.]
But you are definitely more than a war bonds model, so she was right.
[She tilts her head.] How long had it been for this Peggy since your disappearance?

[ it helps, to hear it wasn't all just commercials and a radio program and a mural on a wall in sokovia. he reaches over, squeezes her hand a bit in gratitude. ]
Two years, I think. Maybe a little more.
[ and only a few days since he had lost her, as far as the memories go but he banishes the very thought. ]
no subject
Are the two of you together now?
no subject
[ there was a time, some months ago, when they didn't discuss that aspect of their connection. It was all seemingly professional back then. Times changed, however and when asked, Steve offers the truth and nothing else before adding: ]
I'm very lucky, for that.
