Skateboarding is fun and all but I think mastering parkour would be beneficial both as fun and in fights. Especially when using my shields.

	Really? Yeah but your comfort still matters too, truth or not. And I mean, showing up in a strange world and finding out you have a teenage son in another is pretty mind blowing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've come a long way. But I first learned to fight from Peggy Carter. She taught me a lot of what I know. I want to be there for you. You can call me dad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I didn't get to know her for long but she seems really awesome. Alright, Dad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She was here? Okay, son. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. For a short time at least. ~~I love hearing that~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wish I didn't miss her. She's ... passed on where I'm from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh man. I'm sorry to hear that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She was a really big influence on my life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You and Mom were the same with me. Always wanted to make you guys proud of me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You took down Ultron as a teenager. I'm very proud. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah but my mistake nearly cost Tony, and my friends, their lives, it led Ultron right to us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We all make mistakes. It's how we learn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know. [Dad] Just...back home I'm suppose to lead the Avengers and...I don't know if I'm ready. What if I screw up again? Or worse and get one of them killed? I mean Torunn, Thor's daughter, she almost died flinging the pieces of Ultron into space. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You don't have to be ready yet. You're not going anywhere for the time being, hopefully. You can train here.

I don't think we keep our memories when we return-- I don't remember being here, but maybe some of the leadership you learn here will stick with you. Maybe not. The only way to know is to try.

Before I came here, we got into a war with the other Avengers. Over Bucky. I had to leave my people behind. But I came back for them. It's not the same as Torunn almost dying, but you can do what you can to make up for it. You can help her.

	The not remembering here seems to be the trend when sent back. I just don't want to let them down. And I know, I don't need to be the exact hero like you or Mom, I need to be my own kind of hero that suits me just... Did you ever get scared of leading the Avengers? Of losing any of them? I know you were a soldier before so did that help at all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James/Steve rogerthat 2017-10-21 10:20 pm UTC (link)
	I've been scared to lose them before. When they were taken after Bucky and I left, I didn't know if I'd see them again. But I went back to them. I made it right. Being a soldier doesn't make things easier. It's just another part of life. A hard part. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Being a soldier was hard? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James/Steve rogerthat 2017-10-21 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. It was terrifying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James/Steve avenging_son 2017-10-21 10:35 pm UTC (link)
	So saving the day and being the hero people need, that I want to be, never gets easier, huh? I think I can live with that. Beating Ultron...avenging you and most of the other heroes that Ultron killed...it was a great feeling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James/Steve rogerthat 2017-10-21 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	It gets a little easier. When you know you got Thor and Iron Man on your side... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James/Steve avenging_son 2017-10-21 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	That's good to know. I'm sure practice and training helps a lot too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Practice makes perfect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James/Steve avenging_son 2017-10-23 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	It does. ...speaking of practice...would you want to maybe one day go to the batting cages with me? I want to be ready for baseball tryouts if we're still here come springtime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James/Steve rogerthat 2017-10-23 10:55 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds like a lot of fun. I'd like that. Haven't had a chance to play since I got [...] fit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	James/Steve avenging_son 2017-10-23 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Awesome. Should we have a competition to see who's able to hit more line drives? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
