Who: Steve Rogers (Winter Soldier)
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
Action: SS Golden
When: Post-shuffle

[The scene opens on the face of a man who looks to be in his thirties at most, with a short, thick beard and buzzed blond hair. His blue eyes have an icy edge to them, despite being more curious than anything, and he speaks in a low tone.]

... I'm guessing I don't get a choice here. No exits, right?

[At least he seems to know for sure that he should be getting a response.]

Really? Guess you must know something I don't.

[proudlywehailed]

Funny thing about you. You tend to know more than anyone, and you've never liked sharing.

I'll turn the video back on if you do.

[tothefly]

If I didn't know better, I'd say you think you know me. One thing, though. I don't mind sharing, with the right people.

Is that an "I'll show you mine if you show me yours," Steve?

[for some reason, it really digs at him that she's calling him that name.]

It is. I'm not showing my face to someone who won't show me theirs.

[tothefly]

[She's going to keep calling him that name, regardless. At least until he gives her something better. Something that tells her for sure, one way or the other, that he is or isn't her Steve. She's not sure which answer she'd prefer, at this point.]

Little late for that, soldier. You were flashing your face fleetwide, earlier. You really want to see me that bad? I thought you weren't looking for a relationship right now.

[proudlywehailed]

A relationship is the last thing that would happen.

[he's so sure of this.]

[tothefly]

Still, I'd hate to risk it. Maybe next time, Steve.

[He knows her, or at least thinks he does. She's not so sure, for her part. Better to play it safe.]
