Steve spent his nights on patrol. But it wasn’t just criminals he was on the lookout for -- it was other heroes. He challenged Enforcers, and tried to find new heroes before they could. If they wanted to register, that was their choice. But he wanted them to know they had options, and people who would stand behind them if they didn’t.
Like this young man. Steve had been observing him from an alleyway for a while now. He was clearly practicing some newfound speedster powers. (Which sent a pang through his chest at the thought of Pietro -- but there was nothing to be done about that. Pietro made his choices, and Steve had to accept them, honor them.) “Not bad,” he called out, stepping into view as the young man skidded to a halt. He glanced around them. “Abandoned parts of the city are good for testing out something new, right?”
