"He's bloody and battered and still standing, though barely."
So Nyar's taken some pretty bad hits during the Endgame battle. We know that. We saw him fight Thanos and we know hes exhausted.
Hes a super soldier tho, right? So hes totally fine right?
Well. Not so much.
He wants so badly to just collapse. To rest. To be done for a while.
Even after the battle is over, he wants to just fall back on his knees and watch the world turn for a while.
He wants to let others put things back together.
He honestly just wants to let shock set in, really.
But he is Captain America. Someone has to help keep people moving. Someone has to facilitate the world going back to normal. Someone has to organize and give orders.
And he is Captain America.
So he cinches the straps of his broken shield a little tighter, and he takes a deep breath and straightens his shoulders.
He wipes some blood away from his nose and mutters to himself:
"I can do this all day."
And so he presses on.
Giving orders. Even helping Av and the Medics with little things when he can. Directing. Leading.
And then he sees Jace again.
Again.
Finally.
After so long, he finally sees em and he wonders if its real.
And he sprints to em and they make contact and he feels em wrap for arms around him and he knows it is real.
And he finally sinks to the ground and and he's sobbing and clinging to em.
"You're real.... Youre back.....youre here and you're real and youre back...."
And he can't breathe, hes just so relieved.
And hes not Captain America: Super Soldier™ anymore. Hes just Nyar Frostbane: sickly, weak, wounded little boy from Brooklyn.
Avanda finally makes her way over to them and sees what terrible shape Nyar's in.
Hes about to pass out. Hes a mess. Sobbing and bloody and dehydrated and starting to like. Grey out.
Ya know...almost blacking out but not quite?
So they get a stretcher and load him onto it and hes still sobbing and clinging to Jace.
And thats when the begging starts.
"Dont go, Jace, please. Dont go, dont go! Dont leave me, dont go! I cant lose you again, I can't. I can't Jace I cant, dont go, dont leave me."
And for some, most, this is the first time they've seen Captain America cry. Much less broken. Even temporary, it sinks in.
