It's a sort of honey trap. I'm well aware.

[expellerhead]

Yeah, it's not you I'm worried about.

Anyway, glad you can see them again, regardless. [it sounds so insincere after that miniature tirade but he really is]

[mucked]

So am I. Despite the seven decade discrepancy.

[expellerhead]

Wait, is it one of those heroes you mentioned? You knew them from BEFORE?

[mucked]

The first mate. Steve Rogers. I knew him before he gained his -- [ hm, what's a good word? ] -- talents.

[expellerhead]

Is one of those talents eternal youth, or should I be looking for a hundred-year-old man to introduce myself to?

[mucked]

Neither. [ well, that's not strictly true. the serum helped. ] He went MIA during a mission and it turns out he got himself frozen in a giant block of ice. Preserved for decades.

[expellerhead]

And you called the concept of a hero school ridiculous.

[mucked]

...Fair enough. As unlikely as it sounds, it happened. Though I didn't realize he survived until I showed up here.

[expellerhead]

That must've really stung, to find that out.

[mucked]

Perhaps it should have, yes.

But all I felt was relief. He deserved to live -- even if only belatedly.

[expellerhead]

How altruistic.

Guess it's in your best interests to make use of the time you have now, then.

[mucked]

That is the goal, yes. Carpe diem.

[expellerhead]

Well.

Good luck, Captain.
