[ BAM! Two geared up agents are thrown out of a wall of what looks like a little staged set. The next person climbing out of that wall is a very-much-alive-and-awake Steve, who is a complete mode of panic. He hesitates only a second before forcing the nearest doors open running out of there. Something is very wrong and he knows it. ]

-all agents, code 13!

[ Out of that room everyone else immediately tries to go after him and grab him. He's just shoving anyone and everyone over to get out of there-- and then he's outside in modern New York, which would be familiar and normal to someone that's not him. He runs until he gets to Times Square where he stops, overwhelmed. And that's where the black cars catch up to him, bearing the SHIELD logo. ]

[Armed soldiers and black suited men pour out of the cars, forming a perimeter around Steve and keeping the growing crowd of onlookers at bay. Nick Fury steps out and slowly walks towards Steve, an almost inperceptible smile on his face.]

At ease, Captain. I have to say, it's nice to finally be able to speak to you in person. [He pauses, gesturing behind him] Look, I'm sorry about that little show back there, but we thought it best to break it to you slowly.

[ Steve stops looking around to focus on him, relaxing just a tiny bit at the sight of him ] ...break what?

You've been asleep, Cap. ...For almost seventy years.

[ Steve's shoulders slump and he looks around, the implications of that statement sinking in on him. Mind racing. ]

You going to be okay?

Y-yeah... I just... I had a date.

[ he's going to be sitting wherever shield said it was okay to sit yeah. ]

Yeah. Thanks, I guess.

[the_right_push]

[He sighs softly]

I'm sorry.

[doyoufondue]

[ He's late. Everyone he knew is probably- and then everything else is so ...different. ]

You did everything you could. ...That's-- Yeah. [ He's not sure what to do with himself. Or any of this ] I need to sit down.

[tenminutes]

[ This is how much of an idea Yuri has about what to say to him right now, despite everything that happened while he was gone and talking to Coulson about him not being dead and Sif and all sorts of stuff. Right here:










See it's a whole lot of knowing, can't you tell? ]

Hey.

[doyoufondue]

[ He has no idea what to say or anything so she could have said anything. Yuri Yuri Yuri. She's right where he left her. ]

Hey.

[rockstark]

[Tony can't help himself, despite it all. he knows he should be serious, he really does, but --

who's he kidding. really.]

Nice timing.

[doyoufondue]

[ The longest pause ever in the existence of long pauses, Tony. ]

Thanks. ...I think. What day is it?

[antibadstuff]

[ Oh boy. Buffy was actually.. pretty hesitant to reply to this post. She'd only recently found out that he was gone. She had still been struggling with being back herself, so... ]

So much for popping daisies.

[doyoufondue]

Buffy! [ Buffy was dead. But now she's not dead? And everyone else is dead... But Buffy is very much not dead. Or maybe she is-?

He really needs to sit down. Let's sit down. ] I thought...- Daises?

[goddamnshit]

Seventy years? For real? [a low whistle] Some hibernation.

[doyoufondue]

...Yeah. Some hibernation.

[nofondueforyou]

[ ever since talking to Coulson Peggy had been hoping that Steve would wake up, but now that it's happened she's not sure what to say. He looks exactly the same, but completely out of place; if Peggy wasn't so focused on Steve right now she would be wtf-ing over the city shown in the video too.

O-oh and he was still thinking about the date aaaaa o///o

Ahem. Let's not be unprofessional. ]

Were you being kept prisoner?

[doyoufondue]

[ he got taken back into SHIELD. he had to sit down. but then he's standing again immediately. she's trying to be professional and he just lost all composure he had ]

Peggy! [ peggy! it's peggy! peggy peggy peggy ] You're here. I thought-- And then- ...I'm sorry.

[daretotry]

Dude. Welcome back.

[doyoufondue]

Thanks. Dude.

[denies]

[ .. so it did work. Of course that guy had already mentioned they were working on making Steve okay again, but.. it's even more a relief to see it really worked like this. Still, it's Ange, so she just tries to pokerface for the most part. ]

You sure are energetic already.

[ video ]

[doyoufondue]

I'm a morning kind of guy.

[video]

[blanched]

S... seventy years...? [IS THAT EVEN A THING THAT HAPPENS. she's not really aware that the video is on, she's just... baffled.]

[video]

[doyoufondue]

....Yeah. Almost.

[voice]

[dekillerqueen]

... Welcome back, Mr. Rogers.

[voice]

[doyoufondue]

Thank you, sir...

[sexbastian]

It's good to see you back.

[Sebastian doesn't want to dwell on sentimentalisms so he focus on what he thinks will interest Steve.]

If that date was with a brunette woman that has the class and style of Joan Crawford...then she waited for you, I talked to her when she posted. She's in the community.

[doyoufondue]

Joan Crawford.... I know that one. Is... Is she okay?

[whitechocolate]

Steve! I knew you'd come back!

[doyoufondue]

Hey Sam. ...At least someone knew it. I sure didn't.

[precursorstone_gun_nest]

... Welcome back, I guess.

[Suddenly in the future and everything is city? Jak knows that feel.]

[doyoufondue]

I guess. Can you be back if you've never been here before?

[thatsmyyogurt]

Welcome back, captain.

[doyoufondue]

Thanks.

[video]

[6collegecredits]

I knew it.

Steve!

[video]

[doyoufondue]

You knew it?

[video]

[hasbottombunk]

It's good to see you again, Steve.

How are you doing?

[video]

[doyoufondue]

I'm uh... I'm doing. [ beat ] Well. I mean. I think. Doing well.

[likethetragedy]

Looks like Sif was right. [Casual forever!] Hello. Need any updates or had enough for one day?

[doyoufondue]

Sif knew? [ how do you stay so chilly-willy, elektra ] Hey. I think I'm set for now. I guess. Well, I haven't actually been updated on anything besides the year but- Anything worth noting right away?

[mightletyouknowme]

Eh? It hasn't been that long since I saw you.

[doyoufondue]

It hasn't?

[anon]

[trickstering]

Quite the trick to still be alive, Captain.

[doyoufondue]

Yeah. I'm a pretty good magician.

[Video]

[notmyfirstrodeo]

[You woke up, Steve! Coulson is overjoyed. You can tell because there's something approaching a smile on his face. But well, it's subdued. Because the poor guy.]

It must be a shock.

[video]

[doyoufondue]

Phil. [ familiar people. this is good. okay. he knows people here. fury, elektra, phil, tony, etc... ]

Yeah. A shock. [ beat ] I think I'm in shock. --Are you in this building somewhere?

[yumadbro]

...You really are alive.

[Does he look surprised? Is he actually emoting?]

[Hey, he's got a thing about losing people.]

[doyoufondue]

Yeah, I guess I am alive.

[formercheerio]

What happened?

[doyoufondue]

It stopped being the 40s?
