[ And now for another episode of: 'What the hell are you doing, Steve?'
In this week's episode: Rescue Missions!

You're treated to an interesting view of a hall of cells containing war prisoners. There's a guy patrolling it. It's silent until Steve -- sneaks up behind the guy and knocks him out before stealing his keys. Steve is wearing his Captain America costume with a jacket and pants over it, that shield strapped to his back, and equipment that doesn't belong to him. (Wasn't one of his dancers wearing that helmet?)

The guys in the cell look reasonably confused: ] Who are you supposed to be?

Um... Captain America.

I beg your pardon? [ Steve starts letting them all out and they talk amongst themselves ]

Is there anybody else? I'm looking for a Sergent James Barnes. [ Someone answers that he might be in a spot nobody ever comes back from. Steve takes a little breath, nods, and starts giving them directions to get out. ]

-Get out fast and give 'em hell. I'll meet you guys in the clearing with anybody else I find.
[ The guys are still giving him a baffled look because who the hell is this guy seriously ] Wait- you know what you're doing?

Yeah. I've knocked out Adolf Hitler over 200 times. [ And with that Steve runs off camera while the guys exchange looks. ]

...Was he wearing a duck pin?

[denies]

I'm.. [ worried about Battler, worried about witches on the community now.. ] .. fine.

But that's not important now, that didn't look like it was just 'stuff'. [ Ange, you hypocrite. ]

[ video ]

[doyoufondue]

You sure...?

It's-- Uh.. Bucky's unit was captured and they weren't going to do anything about it so I am.

[ video ]

[denies]

Yeah, I'm sure. There's some stuff on my mind, but I can deal with it, as usually.

But.. isn't that dangerous? I know you're strong, but will you be okay?

[ video ]

[doyoufondue]

If you need to talk later, I'm all ears.

Be a little anti-climatic if Captain America didn't succeed on his first mission, right? I'll be fine.

[ video ]

[denies]

Maybe when you're not busy with these kind of things.

.. In that case, you better really be fine after that. [ n-not like she cares-- okay, no, she totally cares. ] It'd be bad if Captain America lied too.

[ video ]

[doyoufondue]

After this.

I'll try not to be.

[ video ]

[denies]

How dangerous exactly is it..?

[ video ]

[doyoufondue]

Well they're firing guns at me so.

[ video ]

[denies]

[ yes, that's pretty dangerous, huh.. then again, Ange's dealt with that before too and she's not a superhero like Steve, so there's hope. ]

At least Captain America of all people should be able to avoid that, right?

[ and now it's voice ]

[doyoufondue]

[ sorry cutting you off from seeing violence. :D ] Right. Nothing I can't handle.

[ voice ]

[denies]

[ she's seen plenty of violence already, she's not a kid..!! ]

... Why did you switch it over, did something happen? [ she can't help but notice though, of course. ]

[ voice ]

[doyoufondue]

[ but you're a lady and these guys gun's disintegrate people. ]

I can't really look at the screen so this made more sense.

[ voice ]

[denies]

[ Steve, you're so polite, sob.. Ange wouldn't have batted an eyelash.. ]

... But everything's still okay, right? [ still a little worried, especially with the change. ]

[ voice ]

[doyoufondue]

Still okay. I'm good.

[ voice ]

[denies]

Well, I guess if you wouldn't be okay there would be something more dramatic, like you suddenly going completely quiet.

[ voice ]

[doyoufondue]

That would be a horrible cliffhanger.

[ voice ]

[denies]

It would leave the audience in suspense, though. Although I guess worried would be a more accurate way to put it.

[ voice ]

[doyoufondue]

I'll let you know before I turn it off.

[ voice ]

[denies]

That's not the problem, really, I'd already be glad enough as long as you still feel alright enough to turn it off by yourself to begin with.

[ voice ]

[doyoufondue]

I'll be okay. I'm going to turn it off as soon as I find Bucky.

[ voice ]

[denies]

Then I'll keep talking to you until you do, as long as that's safe.

... If.. you don't mind, that is.

[ voice ]

[doyoufondue]

I don't mind. It's kind of comforting.

[ voice ]

[denies]

Hmm, that's what I figured. It's probably easier to walk around there when you at least have someone to talk to, right? Like you're not entirely alone.

[ voice ]

[doyoufondue]

Right. Not being alone is a nice thing.

[ voice ]

[denies]

[ a while ago she might still have fiercely denied that, that she was just fine on her own too, but.. ]

... Yeah, I think so too. And I can cheer you on in kicking those guys' asses like this, I guess. [ that last part is a little more like a joke, though. ]
