voicetesting and looking!

[yankeedoodle]

I'm happy to be here, Miss, and I promise not to let you down if you take a chance on me.

Though if I have permission to speak freely, I have to admit that you're kinda overthinking things a little. There's nothing wrong with having a goal and going after it. I think you'll do a great job wherever you decide to send me. Just keep up that positive attitude, I'll be in your corner cheering for you the whole way.

You might be the most optimistic person I've ever seen.

[puny_parker]

He's Captain America. Optimism's kinda his thing.

[puny_parker]

You may come to regret reassuring 'em Cap.

[putthemaway]

Suddenly, I wish my daughter didn't call me Captain America. There's no way I can measure up to that.

[yankeedoodle]

In my experience, sir, someone has to be. I don't mind taking that role.

[putthemaway]

I'm glad somebody can. [He offered his hand.] Aaron Hotchner.

[yankeedoodle]

Why do you say that?

[aestark]

You have no idea what you're encouraging.

Just do yourself a favor and nix the Boy Scout enthusiasm.

[yankeedoodle]

Captain Steve Rogers, US Army. [he gives the other man a firm handshake and a single nod of the head] Nice to meet you.

[putthemaway]

Criminal prosecutor. [Since the man had given his profession, well, fair was fair.] I take it on... outside knowledge that you're Captain America. My daughter calls me that.

[yankeedoodle]

If not knowing what was ahead stopped anybody then I don't think you'd have that gold titanium alloy to fly around in.

[therightpartner]

[Despite all her efforts, she can't completely hide her smile.]

You always did have a way with words, Captain. And a way of inspiring confidence in your team.

[yankeedoodle]

[Steve has even more trouble hiding his smile. He grins widely and ducks his head.]

Thank you, ma'am. It helps when I've got someone believing in me. Someone who knows a thing or two once told me that faith can be a pretty powerful thing.

[aestark]

Armor is much less invasive.

[well_assembled]

You really are like that all the time, aren't you?

[therightpartner]

[Oh, how she's missed that grin. It's been rather lonely over the past few months.]

You're welcome. I have a feeling that whoever told you that will always have faith in you, no matter the circumstances.

[yankeedoodle]

Because that's kind of the definition of wearing something. [not much of a point, tony :|]

[yankeedoodle]

Not all the time. Everyone has their bad days. [translation: yes, pretty much]

[yankeedoodle]

[Steve's occupation and who he is are so closely intertwined that he can't imagine introducing himself any other way.] Captain America is more like a symbol than anything. I'm just a kid who wanted to help with the war effort, but Captain America stands for honor and bravery. Your daughter must think a lot of you to call you something like that.

[batmanschmatman]

I like your attitude.

[yankeedoodle]

[he pauses, thoughtful]

Even if those circumstances caused me to miss something important?

[their date is far from forgotten]

[aestark]

[ Hush, boy grandpa Steve. He is just trying to be constructive on his own terms. ]

Uh huh. Well when you find yourself singing the National Anthem on loop, or are otherwise at the mercy of some cutesy song and dance act of theirs--

You know, that could be good.

[yankeedoodle]

Well, thank you. Unless that's sarcasm, I can never tell.

[batmanschmatman]

It's not. It's unusual to see people heading into this kind of thing with a positive attitude.

[therightpartner]

[She hasn't forgotten it either...and she never will.]

Even then, Steve. She knows that you had no other choice. She's proud of you, no matter how much it hurt to say goodbye.

[well_assembled]

Why do I think your bad days involved the words 'gosh' and 'darn'?

[hackingyoursensors]

That's the spirit! Maybe you can spread some of that spirit around the rest of headspaceland.

I hope you guys find somewhere nice and fun.

[blue_sniper]

You might want to think twice before you say that, Steve.

...But then again, you usually don't think before you do things.
