He looks over at Sam and Natasha, who are both trying to smother their laughter as Jim and Tony banter back and forth.

“Have you two had this exact conversation?” Nat signs.

“I have never claimed to be a voice of reason in my life.” Sam signs with mock-affront.

And with that, draft 1 of Steve’s chapter is done... now to editing... blargle

“Not with our luck.” Jim says, and Steve doesn’t understand how he’d forgotten about - that. Well, he does, it was because of Bucky, but -  

Distracted, he thinks to himself, Rumlow’s voice in his head as Jim and Tony’s voices continue.

“He sounds -” Steve doesn’t know what to say. He didn’t sound like Bucky, except when he did? He didn’t sound like he had on the bridge? “He sounds okay. Better.”

I - I’m glad you’re okay.”

“Me too.” He says, a little wry, and it almost sounds like the man he’d spoken to before he went in the ice.

It’s not long before another man walks in, not tall, seemingly unremarkable, but he cases the room like he would, walks like a man with military training. He’s not relaxed.

Barnes tries to look at Rhodey, somehow to catch his eye through the armor.

rewatched cacw today, got some motivation / needed info /additional ideas, but also a few canon reminders that I have to rework. Basically, my goal is to have all words down on Steve’s chapters by the end of September, then have rewrites/editing and the epilogue to write after. force only knows when i’ll get to the iron rim. but at least we’re moving forward!

Steve looks around and lists off street and building names.

“Your accent is atrocious,” Nat tells him. “Keep walking, I’ll find you.”

Steve smiles, and doesn’t bother to ask her how.

steve’s chapter, aka ‘why did i decide to flash back for this chapter, why did i give everybody comms, why can’t i write a consistent emotional arc for steven grant rogers, why did i decide to write something longer than 5k with more than three (3) significant characters why is everything Like This’

“We’re just waiting on the frequency.”

“You’re really cool with this?”

Steve smiles weakly. “Gotta stop running sometime.” He sighs. “I should call Natasha.”
