    Summary

    “Okay.” He sighs. “Uh, well, she said that Omera’s always liked it when the guy…dips the girl? What does that even mean?”

    Cara snorts. “Y’know, like when he kisses her. Leans her back. It’s all dramatic, makes good photos.”

    “Huh.” Dyn scratches his neck again. “Is…that something people do in real life?”

    “Mostly at weddings.” Cara shrugs. “If your goal with this is to sweep her off her feet, then I’d say kissing her in a way that she’s always thought to be really romantic is probably a safe bet.”

    “Okay.” Dyn squints down at his paperwork. “But…why is that seen as romantic? Why do women like it?”

    Cara throws her hands up. “You think I know? Did you forget who you’re talking to?”

    “What, you’ve never kissed anyone that way?”

    “No, because I’ve always been afraid I’ll drop them.” Cara shrugs.

    Dyn feels his eyes widen. “Is…wait, I – what do you mean drop them? Has that happened before?”

    Summary

    When a little straw-haired boy shows up at his door in the middle of a January night with no coat and a black eye, the first thing George Barnes does is stick his head out into the hall and check for any pursuing assailants.

    “Mister Barnes?” the boy asks, through chattering teeth. “’m Steve Rogers, Sir.”

    “Yes, Steve, I’m George Barnes.” He cups the boy’s cheek and finds it cold as ice. “Come inside, bubba, you need to get warm.”

    “Mister Barnes, please. Please, you gotta save my Ma!” Steve croaks, shaking as tears fall and freeze to his cheeks. “Please, he’s hurtin’ her bad.”

    Summary

    “Do you know who I am?”
    “Captain Steven Rogers, codename: Captain America.”
    “How is it he sounds a thousand times more robotic than any of the actual robots around here?” Tony muttered, manfully enduring the elbow Hill was applying to his ribs.
    “Okay. Can you tell me who you are?”
    “The asset. Codename: The Winter Soldier.”
    Steve waited for a moment, but shockingly Deep Freeze didn’t immediately jump into his arms proclaiming himself to be ‘James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, Steve Rogers’ best friend!’. God those were some pointy elbows.
    “Okay. Can you tell me everyth—uh, that is, what is the earliest thing you can remember right now?”
    Robocop actually paused for a second at that one. Something flickered in his eyes, the first hint of emotion they’d seen from him.
    Figures it would be fear.
