I went out today to see if I could help with the fact that there's no sun, and I saw this man making lightning and cutting himself, and he was terrorizing the entrance to the underground, so I told him to cut it out. He cut himself and tried to hit me with lightning, but I blocked it, and after I managed to get him somewhere safe where he couldn't hurt anyone else, I noticed that my shield feels right again!

So I guess it just had to be hit by lightning. But the fact that it feels normal makes me a whole lot calmer about this whole thing.

[As flirty as this sounds, she's actually curious.]

[Pause, and he fumbles a little because well that's who Steve Rogers is]

I guess? I don't think I changed that much.

Are you still a soldier back home? And if I ask anything you don't want to answer, let me know. I don't like overstepping anything and making people feel uncomfortable.
