[ 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. ]

[Steve Rogers, you are a sweet heart. She smiles at him and there is something about everything he is that just makes her want to be a better version of herself. It's similar to Logan being her mentor or Winn being her boyfriend, but also unique to Steve.]

Are the two of you together now?

I'm glad you're getting that chance. Both of you. [She imagines it wasn't available to them in their world. She also thinks about how hard that must have been for Peggy to start with. Losing him and having to move on with her life and then getting him back in a place like this. Just because something is good doesn't make it easy to adjust to.]
