Good bye Captain
Characters: Captain America
Setting: S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ
Content: Sad, not bad.
Summary: Cap lays down his shield
He stood in his office for some time, putting things neatly back into place, shoulders heavy and face determined. There were some many memories here. Framed newspaper clippings hanging proudly on the wall next to pictures of the Avengers. There were some shots from when he'd been pulled from the ice, and an old old black and white someone had dug up of him during the war.
The desk was cleared off, odds and ends tucked away in a drawer, and he pushed the high backed chair in slowly, giving a quiet sigh as he lay his shield carefully on the smooth wood, fingers grazing its surface a final time.
His was not a job you could simply resign from, and Tony would be the only one he would tell of his decision. The shield would have to serve as his good bye for the rest of them, and he felt a heavy sense of guilt as he left the office for the final time, stepping out onto the street and into a waiting cab to be whisked away.
