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.

You only hurt the ones you love, Steve.

[sorcerous]

Do they ever like us?

[hulkish]

There's, uh. At least some chance to do some good there, probably. Better than sitting on the shelf.

[disbenefits]

Oh, none of them like us. Not really. They say they do and then, well, do this.

Not that there aren't benefits to this stupidity, of course.

I believe the contrary's true, actually. The people running the show just have a bizarre way of displaying affection.
