Steve Rogers
So, we really haven't talked much as I would have liked. But I want to get to know you. I mean, I know you aren't my actual, 100% biological father but yet you still kind of are. If that makes sense. So...could we like talk and stuff? Even if it's just over the network?

	It's my fault we haven't talked, honestly. I wasn't expecting to show up here and get a company dropped on my lap, among other things. But, whatever you'd like and however I can help - I'm open to it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I think school conspired too with senior midterms. But no one really expects to show up here so I can't fault your for that. Or suddenly getting left a company. I mean, I've only ever led like, four teens against fighting Ultron and that was hard enough. Being in charge of a company has got to be way more stressful.

Ultimately, I just want to get to know you. Who you are, things you've done, likes, dislikes, that kind of stuff. I mean, my world's Tony told us stories about you and the Avengers but, different world and most stories get a bit embellished. And Felicia and others kind of pointed out that it may have led to unfair expectations of you and thinking about it, they're right. So I want to get to know the real you.

And well, the season's like half over but, if you ever wanted, I'd love it if you came to even just one of my football games for high school. [High school football schedule] Just if you can, I don't want you to feel obligated or anything. But it'd be cool if you came to a game.

I imagine that fighting Ultron is a lot harder than figuring out what needs to be done regarding Tony's company. All things considered, and I would love to come out to one of your games. I'll make my best effort to be there. ~~I know what~~

People have a lot of ideas about how I am and who I'm supposed to be, who Captain America is, what he symbolizes and what he's come to represent, and there's always been a lot about that I haven't cared for. None of that is who I am. I'm just -- I'm just some kid who grew up in Brooklyn and went to art school before getting shipped overseas to fight in a war that I didn't understand before I got there. And I'm just someone who wants to do everything he can to make sure the world never gets back to the place it was then. That it continues to do better and that it recognises the rights in freedoms that every country should want for their citizens. I think that's the same as everyone else; there's really nothing remarkable about me.

It was hard. Especially knowing that he'd killed nearly all of the Avengers and the rest of Earth's heroes that tried to stop him. I...kinda had to have Pym piss off Doctor Banner so he'd Hulk out and rip Ultron apart. And thanks.

I can't even imagine having all those expectations heaped on you. And I'm sorry if I contributed to them. In my time, there really isn't much of an America. Ultron took it over and was starting in on the rest of the world. And his reasoning for world domination is kind of...chilling I think is the right word. To him, world peace could only come about if humanity was killed given our species violent history. But you're right. We need to recognize that every nation is going to be different and respect those differences.

I do have one question though after reading your post about Thanksgiving. How do you come up with such inspirational and eloquent speeches?
