Seems like there's been a lot going on during the couple of months since I got here - good things. New ideas, beginnings. I've also had the pleasure of talking to several of you who've been here for awhile yourselves. Most have talked about Keeliai like it's home now.

[Steve smiles at that word, but there's something almost sad about it. 'Home' will always be a complicated subject for him.]

I just celebrated my first birthday here, but I think it might take a bit longer to feel that way to me. I do have an idea that I think might help. I wanted to talk to those of you who've opened businesses here, get some advice. I have an idea for something, and a heck of a partner, but I haven't exactly amassed a fortune. [Where's a genius billionaire playboy philanthropist when you need one. He sighs, but when the little bird nearby starts to sing, his spirits are lifted again.] As much as going in debt goes against my better judgment, it's an option I'm willing to consider to get the ball rolling. The question is, is there any place that even gives loans to Foreigners?

Until then, if anyone needs some one-on-one training, I've got the time for it. Unless you'd rather be trained by the three-time YMCA welterweight boxing champ.

[He knows you used to pull your punches, Barnes. Steve doubts that he will the next time. His smile turns a little bit sly before he ends the feed.]

If they honour their name they should be able to give you a few tips at least.

[Poe gives him a friendly smile, it comes easily to him.]

Sam's a beautiful thing but I might be a little biased when it comes to anything related to the sky, pilot and all.

I'm from Yavin IV, it's one of Yavi's moons, but I'm human. Name's Poe Dameron, pleasure to meet you.

My friend Sam, the one I named him after. He was in the Air Force - paratrooper. I bet you and he would have a lot in common.

[They're both definitely the friendly types.]

Likewise, Poe. I'm Steve. You must miss flying.

That one's a risky job. Most are in the military, of course, but that especially.

If he ever gets to this city maybe we will have the chance to share experiences. I can fly all sort of things but usually, I'm out of a planet's atmosphere.

[Very true.

Poe smiles at the question.]

Like you wouldn't believe. I think I was made to be in the sky, it's kind of a family tradition too. And I've been told that time at home doesn't advance while we aren't there but I can't help but wonder if it's really true and how my people is going. You can't take chances when you are at war.

[Steve always has mixed emotions when he thinks of his other friends being here. It doesn't seem fair to wish that they were. On the other hand, isn't this better than what they were facing? Steve doesn't know if they'll win. He doesn't even know if they'll survive. All he knows is that Sam Wilson's smile would be a welcome sight, and not just so he could introduce them.]

Same here. I know how it's supposed to work, but...it's like you said. The idea of not being there when my planet and team needs me the most has kept me awake a night or two.

[The last time Poe saw Finn he was unconscious in a medbay bed, recovering. Seeing him here would probably be a good thing for them both.]

Knowing how it works doesn't stop us from wondering. It makes me restless, mostly. I'm not used to having 'vacations' and I hate feeling like I am wasting time doing nothing useful.

What sort of team you had back home, if you don't mind me asking?

To tell you the truth, I haven't felt like this since Brooklyn.

[Not since he was skinny and sick, unable to help despite wanting nothing more.]

We're called the Avengers. Each one of us brings something different to the table. We use those skills to help, to protect.

That's where you come from? What is it like? [A sincere question. Poe likes to know more about people' home-worlds.

That's the worse feeling, wanting to help people and not being able to do so. Poe understands the frustration.]

You all know what's important then. And what are you Avenging? Justice...?
