Steve Rogers. Captain America. Leader of the Secret Avengers. When the MOB and the PRESS and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree by the river of truth, and tell the whole world "NO, YOU MOVE." The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest.
the night of the witch seemed harmless enough, right? just a bunch of townies getting together to celebrate a town ‘curse.’ with how strange things had been for natasha herself, she could use a bit of over exaggerated flair. but just as she was finally starting to relax next to the fire, she sat upright as a familiar face passed her by. “ steve ? ”
beer in hand, he was keeping his eyes peeled for any sign of trouble that may occur during this celebration. it would hardly be the first time, or the last. pausing as he heard his name, steve turned his head towards the one who had spoken, a friendly smile gracing his lips in an instant even if he wasn’t quite sure who she was. “that’s my name, yeah. i’m sorry, do i know you?? i don’t think i’ve seen you ‘round here before.”
“ you look like you could use a beer. ” bucky commented as he slid the cooler he brought with him towards the other. he’s still wondering why he himself even showed up but the night wasn’t that bad. yet, at least. the night of the witch always found a way to make a scene one way or another. “ hopefully they’re still cold enough, didn’t really think of the logistics of it being around the fire. ”
“that obvious, huh??” there are no complaints as he opens up the cooler, offering a faint smile as he pulls a beer free. truth be told, steve was a bit nervous to see what the rest of the night held for them all. he knew the history of their town -- knew exactly what a night like this could bring. especially with the strange occurrences happening in sunnyvale as of late. “nah, it’s still perfect. thanks, buck. how are you holding up with all of this tonight??”
𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 ; “if it’s all the same to you, i’ll take that drink now.” he’s been slumming it in sunnyvale for a week – the neighbours do not seem to like him. he’s had a brief conversation with one who had apparently been a former football player, which normally would’ve seemed like a good thing to rick. some common ground. who doesn’t like football? but it had all felt firmly wedged in the uncanny valley. fucking bizarre. shadyside at least owns up to maybe being a little bit cursed. not that rick believes in that kinda thing. he’s seen some shit, but not magic shit. and yeah, he’s open to possibilities, but witches? that’s a stretch. “what d’you think of sunnyvale?”
“fair enough. think i could go for one right about now too.” steve had been attempting, and failing so far, to get the attention of the bartender for a few minutes now. he couldn’t be all too surprised that the place was bustling at this time of night, nor was he going to remotely complain. it always gave him the opportunity to see new faces, meet new people. even if it was in the town that steve had tended to shy away from most of the time. only recently had he begun to cross those town lines, more so out of curiosity than anything else. “it’s --.” a pause. “different. you get used to shadyside, after a while. honestly, i don’t normally come over to this side much, but this place tends to be worth it.”
was that STEVE ROGERS? i just saw the ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE/THIRTY-FIVE year old wandering around SHADYSIDE at the THE FAIRGROUNDS and i could have sworn it was CHRIS EVANS instead. last i checked, he was in MARVEL, how did they end up here WITHOUT any memories? i’ve heard they’re very LOYAL, HARD WORKING, STUBBORN, SARCASTIC but they’ve always reminded me of THE WILL TO CONTINUE STANDING BACK UP TO FIGHT FOR WHAT’S RIGHT, PAIN HIDDEN AND LOCKED AWAY BEHIND A SMILE, A SHIELD FLYING THROUGH THE AIR, & A DESIRE TO ALWAYS HELP. i wonder if they saw the witch too..
Biography
so i’m pretty sure most people know about steeb considering he’s a pretty well known character. i’m gonna pretty much just do a brief overview of him and his history. some slight changes with 616 canon but nothing major.
born july 4th, 1918 to a poor irish immigrant family, he was a very sickly child. while his mother, sarah, was beyond loving and did everything to protect her son, his father joseph, was an alcoholic and tended to become abusive after drinking. most of the time his father was on the receiving end of the abuse as she protected him from it, and early on steve learned strength from his mother and that desire to protect. it wasn’t long before his father eventually died when he was still young, and then it was just him and his mother until her eventual death.
growing up, steve tended to be bullied and picked on by other kids for being sickly but that never stopped him from fighting back even if it ended up with him getting his ass kicked for it. eventually he met james barnes who became his best friend and was nicknamed bucky. the two were incredibly close and were inseparable until the second world war hit. steve kept trying to be enlisted while bucky was being sent off to fight.
eventually steve was drafted for project rebirth and was chosen to be the first recipient of the super solider serum. while many people want him to perform and rally people, steve wanted more and proved himself when he rescued the 107th from hydra.
the events of the first captain america unfold and at the end, steve is frozen in ice for many years until shield revives him around 2012. he goes on to join the avengers until the accords happen and everyone chooses sides. steve refuses to sign and when things fall apart and his team goes on the run, he begins to go by nomad and continues to act for what’s right. the events of the winter solider, of course, happened prior to all of that nonsense.
currently, steve still prefers to go by nomad but he knows most people will refer to him as captain america since it’s what he’s been known as for so long now. he’s trying to do his utmost best to help the situation in gotham and do what he can to ensure the fellowship holds onto their own territories and gain more traction.
of course, he doesn’t remember anything right now. steve thinks he has been here for his entire life and works as a freelance artist.
