Mun, don't you have enough people to play around with? I thought we were retired?

...I suppose it is nice to be out again, meeting new people but shouldn't you be doing things like maybe canon reviewing so I can get back to doing what I was doing before?

Look, I know it's all fascinating to you but it's okay, I'm fine. The future isn't some big scary adventure for me. It's like I told Sam, life is kind of just better now.

And what, pray tell, was it that you were doing before?

[stephrogers]

[Just sitting somewhere collecting dust]

Looking for Bucky.

[witch_thief]

Busy work, that?

[Shrugs] At least you didn't have to put up with Alistair in all that.

[stephrogers]

Alistair?

Who's that?

[witch_thief]

Silly little twit of a man.

[stephrogers]

He a friend of yours?

[witch_thief]

I would that I didn't have to call him an acquaintance. To insinuate friendship? 'Tis most disturbing.

[stephrogers]

You guys known each other for very long?

[witch_thief]

Far too long. Had to suffer his attempts at cooking for over a year. 'Tis not something I look upon fondly, nor have any desire to repeat.

[stephrogers]

[She laughs a little]

It can't have been that bad, could it?

[witch_thief]

'Tis not something that I jest about.

[comic_awareness]

Can't say as I ever thought you'd retire completely, Uncle Steve.

[witch_thief]

"Uncle Steve"?

[comic_awareness]

...My mun is apparently having a blind day.

[witch_thief]

So it would appear. Worse things have happened.

[comic_awareness]

Very true.

[stephrogers]

[that has her eyes wide and her jaw nearly hit the floor]

Uncle?

[comic_awareness]

Okay, so maybe that doesn't work so well. I play the mun.

[stephrogers]

Uh, wanna run that one by me again, son?

[nephew?]

[comic_awareness]

Sorry, ma'am. Steve Rogers is pretty much my honorary uncle. One of them, anyway.

[stephrogers]

Oh. Well, I'm not exactly Steve.

[comic_awareness]

I can see that. Reckon the shield icon distracted me.

I'm Bruce, by the way. Bruce Jones. Don't know if you know a Rick Jones or not, but he's my dad.

[stephrogers]

[She holds out her hand to him]

Steph Rogers and uh...actually, I don't know him personally but I remember Bruce mentioning someone named Rick that worked in his lab.

[comic_awareness]

Figured you probably knew Uncle Bruce, at least.

Lab, eh? Dad's moving up in the world.

[stephrogers]

He doesn't work in the lab in your world?

[comic_awareness]

[He shakes his head.]

Dad met Bruce when he was a teenager. But after that, he became a musician and a talk show host. And kind of a professional sidekick in-between. The Hulk, Uncle Steve, Captain Marvel, Rom, another Captain Marvel...
