[ The video turns on to a view of a man’s face, and those observant enough to notice nitpicky details might realize that this is a man who’s familiar with and comfortable using strange bits of technology. There’s no fear in his eyes, no outward confusion or panic. He looks calm and in control, and when he speaks, he sounds like it, too. ]

Hello. My name’s Steve Rogers and I just recently arrived from a city called New York. I was debriefed about the situation and I wanted to offer my help to anyone who needs it.

[ He pauses for a moment as he collects his thoughts. These days, it’s not often that he goes somewhere that people aren’t at least slightly familiar with who he is. Providing a brief resume is a somewhat novel experience. ]

I’ve been a soldier for a long time, but I’m also good with my hands. Construction, farming, hunting, good old-fashioned heavy lifting, I can help with that. I can speak a number of languages, too, if anyone needs translations done. I know I’m new, but I want to pull my weight. So if you know anyone who might need a hand with something, let me know.

[ Offering a faint smile, he gives the camera a short nod. ]

Thanks for your time.

Well, for a start, you could try to keep Bucky from shooting me. [Not that she thinks he actually will and it wouldn't hurt if he did but still] But since I realize that's probably asking a lot, I'll take you telling me where you are right now.

Water District, 1D. [ A beat. ] Why does Bucky want to shoot you?

[hugmagnet]

Needless to say, I'm coming to see you. [Be prepared to be hugged, Steve] Because he's tiny and prickly. Does he need a reason beyond that?

The door's always open for you.

[ The Bucky thing, however, is troubling. ]

Has he been causing trouble?
