[ Action, 627 Topper ]

[ Uh yeah, so Steve is waking up next to a drone for the first time and falls out of bed because hey, wasn't he in 2012 a second ago? And wasn't he, you know, taller? He's going to do the right thing this time, which is not freak out and tear a hole through the wall, probably because it would kill him to do so.

Instead, he will walk downstairs and snoop around and-- there's a picture of him on the wall, smiling, with his 'wife' and two kids.

He sees a rotary dial on the phone and he picks up to call numbers he remembers from 2012. And then numbers he remembers from 1943. And then zero. And then hangs up and goes to rifle through anything he can find in the shoeboxes of the downstairs closet to tell him where he is and why he's there.

Have fun waking up to your new dad sifting through files all over the kitchen table. ]

[ Action, around town ]

[ He doesn't believe this for a second. But this isn't just any sort of thing; he's small again. Someone's trying to make him forget. So he walks around town, because the one thing he needs right now is to get out of town. ]

Excuse me. Do you know the way to the train station?

[He stops and thinks for a moment.]

It's the town. They took away my nationhood, they took away your super-soldier... hood.

You get stuff back in the mail. I dunno how it works, but it does.

[pursuitofcappiness]

...I'll get the serum back in the mail?

Why would they give it back to me if they want me trapped here?

[redwhiteandhero]

Well, I dunno. But I'm working on it!

[pursuitofcappiness]

--What are you working on?

[redwhiteandhero]

Solving the mystery and saving the town!

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'll try to help you with that anyway I can, Mr. America.

[redwhiteandhero]

I knew I could count on you, Captain.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ nods ]

And I'll keep a lookout for any packages.

[ 'Cause he'll need them. ]

[redwhiteandhero]

They usually come after the weird stuff happens.

[pursuitofcappiness]

...Weirder than this?

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah... like a month ago there was this weird carnival... and before that there was zombies... and there's been other stuff too. You gotta be careful.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Zombies don't seem like they'd fit here well.

[redwhiteandhero]

It looks normal most of the time, but y'can't let that get your guard down.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Letting my guard down's the last thing I think I'll be doing here.

[redwhiteandhero]

If we all look out for each other, it isn't so bad.

[pursuitofcappiness]

[ Nods ]

So... what kind of things happen that I need to look out for?

Sorry this is late!

[redwhiteandhero]

Well there was the zombies, and the carnival... people actin' weird, forgetting their old memories... sometimes they turn you into a drone.

NP! Not late at all

[pursuitofcappiness]

...Zombies.

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah. It was pretty messed up. It sorta happened all at once. Like some kinda sci-fi thriller crap.

[pursuitofcappiness]

...Guess it's too much to ask for it to wait until I get... Captain America, huh?

[redwhiteandhero]

Yeah, usually the weird stuff has to come first.
