Homeless, possibly looking?

[theboysoldier]

I wanted to help. To do my part for my country and for the war. Captain America was my hero.

I thought he would understand.

Must you always make me so alone?

[ Of course!

He wraps his arms around Cap's neck. ]

I don't mean to be ungrateful.

[Well it's good to know he didn't completely screw up.]

And I didn't mean to seem like a jerk. I'm just trying to look out for you, you know? And none of this "I can watch my own back" stuff, even mind-readers need help sometimes.

I can only watch my back if someone else is looking that way...

[ A little bit of a wry admission. He's only as good as the people around him. ]

[Steve will take what he can get. Real progress often requires baby steps.]

Exactly. So are we buddies again?
