You aren't just a star to me

[This is weird. He doesn't use that word lightly either. He has seen hovering cars, a guy rip his face off, and his best friend grow 2 feet and gain over 100 pounds in less than a few months-- he knows weird. Being on a zip line, flying through the air heading towards a speeding train is a little odd as well, but that is all part of the job. Killing Nazi and following that little guy from Brooklyn into the jaws of death, yeah he likes his job enough. He could definitely do worse. But right now...well he wasn't sure where he was.

He knows two things: one, is this not the alps and two, he is in space.

Actual space.

He had read stories about the moon before. How people thought it was made of cheese, how aliens were on Mars, and about space travel. They kept saying they would be living on the moon in a few years, he didn't actually believe it though. He stares hard into the black void of twinkling stars and swirling space colors. It's the most beautiful thing he has ever seen. If this turns out the be a dream, he wants to remember ever moment of it. Or maybe it isn't a dream, maybe he dead and this is the afterlife. Makes some sense, he did have to pretty much sign his life away to stay here. He should have paid attention more in church. Oh well, he's going to enjoy it for now.

He presses his hands against the glass of the window. It's cold, but not as cold as the snow he was just in. It felt nice to have the glass against his warm skin after all that has happened. He can't stop staring at the stars and he smiles.]


Boy, if the guys could see this.

[If Steve could see this.]
