At a Brooklyn gym at night. It was occupied by one man, beating a punching bag in the gym lights, he was alone in the floor, lost in the fight. The gym is old, as old as the man inside, Captain America, or Steve Rogers. He beats the bag harder, like physically hurting it will repress the memories.
[Flashback memories]
Hydra base, Captain America is running through a forest, dodging mortar shells, gunfire and Tesseract energy blasts.
Steve:
[Echoey] There's not enough time! I gotta put her in the water!
In the present, Steve's punches become harder and more violent.
in the flashback, Steve places the compass he has, featuring a picture of Peggy Carter, on the dash as the plane plummets towards the ice.
The present, punches become violent and aggressive.
Peggy:
[flashback voice] You won't be alone.
Red Skull picked up the Tesseract, and vanishes.
In the present, Steve is beating the bag with everything he has, destroying it and beating his fists.
[Flashback].
S.H.I.E.L.D Scientist:
Oh my god!
Steve is lying on a table, half frozen, and still partially trapped in a slab of ice. Two S.H.I.E.L.D scientists run equipment over him, checking for his vitals. Something flickers...
S.H.I.E.L.D Scientist:
This guy is still alive!
In the present. Steve punched the bag, easily a hundred pounds, across the room with one swing snapping the metal chain and pummeling it back a dozen feet, sand spilling out from where he cracked the fabric. He stands up, breathing hard, and grabs another bag, resuming a more normal routine. Fury walks in.
Fury:
Trouble sleeping?
Steve:
I slept for seventy years, sir. I think I've had my fill.
Fury:
Then you should be out, celebrating, seeing the world.
Steve stops punching and walks over to the bench, unraveling the tape off his hands. He sits down.
Steve:
I went under, the world was at war, I wake up, they say we won. They didn't say what we lost.
Fury:
We've made some mistakes along the way. Some very recently.
Steve:
You here with a mission, sir?
Fury:
I am.
Steve:
Trying to get me back in the world?
Fury:
Trying to save it.
Fury hands Steve a file on the Tesseract, along with other files on HYDRA'S projects
Steve:
Hydra's secret weapon.
Fury:
Howard Stark fished that out of the ocean when he was looking for you. He thought what we think, that the Tesseract could be the key to unlimited sustainable energy. That's something the world sorely needs.
Steve:
Who took it from you?
Fury:
He's called Loki. He's not from around here. There's a lot we'll have to bring you up to speed on if you're in. The world has gotten even stranger than you already know.
Steve:
At this point, I doubt anything would surprise me.
Fury:
Ten bucks says you're wrong. There's a debriefing package waiting for you back at your apartment.
