[ He's not really sure what's going on. One minute, he's crashing into the Arctic, the next he's waking up in New York and being told he's been asleep for over seventy years, and now he's waking up and being told that he's not real? It's all a little much, so you'll have to forgive the very confused look on his face, and the fact that he's sort of only got one thing on his mind right now. ] None of it was real? What about the war?

[ Peggy wasn't real? Bucky? None of them? He's not taking this very well, New Moore, please help him. ]

Captain Steve Rogers.. I gotta say, it's refreshing to hear that I might not be crazy after all.

[chronosexual]

Not at all. And believe me, if you can string together a halfway coherent sentence and use punctuation, you're already about halfway better than half the people on this island.

Military man?

[originalavenger]

Yes sir. United States Army, Captain of the Howling Commandos. [ A small pause. ] Also America. And you?

[chronosexual]

'Howling Commandos'? Kinda retro. I like retro.

RAF. American volunteer. Originally anyway. Now it's more like a 'team captain' sort of title, but I'm no less proud of it.

Wait... Captain America? I remember hearing a lot of guys talking about joining the service because of you. Well this is an honor I thought I'd never have.

[originalavenger]

It's no less an honor to meet you, sir.

[chronosexual]

You flatter me.

Are you adjusting all right? Some people have some difficulty getting used to life here. You seem pretty calm about it so far.

Son, I lived through crashing into an iceburg, sleeping for seventy years, and waking up to an alien invasion. In all honesty, as long as my memories are real, I can deal with anything.

[chronosexual]

I don't think you'll have much problem with that, then. So long as you're alive and breathing, as far as I'm concerned, everything you lived through was true enough to matter to you, so why should someone in a lab coat take that away from you? What good would that do you?

Ah, now aliens. Dealt with a few of those in my time.

[originalavenger]

Homicidal bent on world domination?

[chronosexual]

Sometimes. Sometimes they just want to go home. Other times they might want to feed off of orgasmic energy. There's as many different kinds of aliens out there with all different purposes as there are creatures on this planet and more.

[originalavenger]

...Orgasmic?

[chronosexual]

Like I said, many different kinds of aliens. Like how someone might like mushrooms and another prefers grilled onions on their burger.

[originalavenger]

I, uh. I see. [ Is he blushing? He's totally blushing. ]

[chronosexual]

There's a whole amazing universe out there just full of different kinds of life, all taking different forms, some recognizable, some incomprehensible. Some of them even look just like you or me.
