Mundane, you got a minute?

I might be wrong, but didn't you say you didn't have any intentions of putting me in one of these games?

I'm not bucking orders, here. You want me to go, I'll go, no arguments here. But is there a particular reason why you chose this game?

No, I understand the choice in canon point, as you put it. I get it. If I'm going to end up waking up in a new world anyway, that does seem the obvious choice.

However, it doesn't help matters much if my actual past, Bucky and the squad and Peggy, is going to be a set of alternate memories. Just a mirror of a past you made up just for this game. Dealing with one past where I lost everything isn't good enough, I've got to have two, and not know for sure which one is the real one?

...

Ma'am, I'm starting to get the impression you just really don't like me.

[ Lies. Totally learned it from Thor. ]

You know, I'd think the people shooting at me would be in charge of that.

[wwii]

True, but someone's gotta keep your one-liners sharp.

[ otherwise how will you ever achieve "do you think this letter on my head stands for france"? ]

[thelivinglegend]

[ No no, that's the OTHER Steve, and we don't talk about him. ]

Nah. I've got you for the one-liners.

[ And Stark in the future. Yeah. That's going to be a barrel of monkeys. ]

[wwii]

[ claps him on the back. ]

Lucky for you, looks like you're stuck with me.

[thelivinglegend]

Yeah. Lucky me.

[ He means it, though. He is lucky, in a way he couldn't have hoped for. ]
