steve rogers i know and love is not the man who runs away from a fight and stays hiding as other people fix his fucking mess, marvel.
steve rogers i know and love would haul a beaten up tony on that flight, go back to the US, drop him by the medical and march straight into the Senate with his Please Fucking Try Me and See What Happens™ look. he’d stand there and take the blame for idiotic things he’d done, apologize sincerely, and then hed just slam the entire room of Old Assholes with facts that they wouldnt have a country to govern if it weren’t for the avengers, that sokovia was a fucking mess but so was Vietnam and Iraq and every other shitty thing that the government itself was to blame for, and then he’d finish with: “Go ahead and lock me up, it will be my utmost pleasure to see you kneeling in front of me begging for me to help defend the earth once a threat bigger than all of your tax frauds comes here to wipe us out.” and he just. walks away slowly and no one dares to fucking stop him.
Steve Rogers falsified enlistment forms just to get in the line of fire, Steve Rogers spent his life getting into fights when he knew what he was doing was the right thing no matter how strong the enemy was, and you cant fucking convince me that Steve Rogers would run away and hide from some pampered politicians and constructive debate when the alien threat lingered over all of us.
was talking to schwarzbrot the other day about modern aus and i’m not good with the hipster fashion game but hopefully it works, even with the differences in their clothing choices (also, steve’s jacket is a few sizes too large i hope that shows). kept steve small because reasons.
