Duly noted. It's really not all that, though. I've worn the mantle for all of three seconds before all this happened.
[ Not the full truth, but... well. Officially, he's had one outing as Captain America. He's not about to tell Agent Flower Girl all about his struggles with the mantle and what it took to get there. ]
Wouldn't do to roll up in the good old Falcon getup now, would it?
[ Nevermind that the wings got torn off and just the thought of strapping those wings back on felt sickening. A violation in spirit more than in anything physical, and yet... it's why he entrusted the old wings to Torres. Let him be the next coming of Riley, while Sam becomes something else. ]
[How she managed to get anything beyond what she had been wearing at the time to come here with her was still confusing, but at least she has a change of clothes?]
I don't know, I think the wings could work to your advantage.
Thankfully. The full get up. Shield, suit, gimmicks... new wings, too.
[ He throws her a grin at that, easy enough. ]
Falcon wings got retired, but I got replacement. Captain America can have wings, I figure. Plus, anything that gives me an edge to keep pace with the super-powered people out there.
How far along did you keep up with the whole Avengers business? I mean, you changed history. No Project Insight means whatever kookie alternative universe you ended up in, I don't get recruited. What happened to the others? To Bucky?
We never got to that point in time. Last I was there, we were in the 80s. But it doesn't change your experiences, we're on a different path now and I don't--
I'm not even sure we can get back to the OG timeline.
Not without changing more things, I reckon. Way I understand it, the moment you change anything no matter how big or small, you just... go and branch off. So unless you got a way to undo the change and close that branch off... it's there to stay. Least that's how Banner explained it, I think.
[ Still disturbing to think about. ]
Wait, so you got all the way to 2019 before you went time travelling and changing things? 'cause you said you're from 2019 but technically came here from 1983...
[ Because she mentioned that's where she's from, but then how does that even work out? This is headache inducing.
Fuck he hates time travel.
But if she made it all the way to 2019 before they started time travelling, then they should have encountered Thanos... unless, of course, they were already from some different universe altogether. How does that even work? ]
I can't pretend to understand all of the information out there when it comes to time traveling. But, like you said, it's very sensitive. Talking to the wrong people could--
[Let's not even get started on Daisy's attempt at killing Freddy Malick.]
We never actually made it to 2019, I just kept a calendar. Thought it might help keep some semblance of time straight in my head.
[Daisy lets out a huff of a laugh, arms crossed tightly around herself.]

You get a suit?

For a guy who doesn't, as far as I know, have super serum in him? You're pretty impressive from what I can see.

Which clearly worked out so well.
