Captain America carries
Black Widow over his shoulder as he follows the Handler running through the
sewers, rubble still falling behind him from the linoleum floor they’d just
smashed their way through.
“Out,” he replies,
shaken, “It leads us out, onto the streets, where we can… get some help… call
the police…”

“Are you nuts?! The
police?! She’ll mop the floor with them! And by the time someone real shows up,
I’m the one they’ll put behind bars!
They’ll thank her for the assist.”
“Why would they do that?
You’re a soldier, you’re the
super-soldier. You fought for us in Vietnam…”
“And then they pulled
me out and said, ‘no, this fight is no longer in America’s best interests,
we need you to go kill these other people now.’ Well, I told them just
where they could shove it,” Cap answers him.
“You deserted,” the
Handler reflects.
“And if you think the
way we treat normal deserters is bad, let me tell you, Uncle Sam doesn’t much
care for a super-deserter.”
“I think I understand,”
the Handler says.
“So, what’s your name
anyway?” Cap asks.
“My name is Robert,” he
replies, “Robert Weiss.
“Steve Rogers,” he shakes
Robert’s hand, “nice to meet’ya.”
