Tony plays a drinking game with Steve, leading to some shocking revelations.

Tony: „Hey Cap, wanna play a little drinking game?"

Steve: „Come on Tony, you know I can't get drunk!"

Tony: „Ha, you're just not trying hard enough! Drink with me, I'll get you drunk!"

Steve:(chuckles) „You'll get alcohol poisoning first!"

Tony:(already filling two glasses with hard vodka) „Hey, that's half the fun! Now don't be a killjoy, here!"

Steve:(gives him a skeptical look, but then agrees) „Alright, I'll play. But you have to promise that you'll stop, before you pass out!"

Tony: „Aw, how unfair. Alright, alright, I'll watch it. Now, let's play!"

Steve:(eyeing his drink) „What are we playing?"

Tony:(downing his drink in one gulp) „Har. 'Twenty things about myself'! I'll go first... Ehm... Ah, got one. The first time I undressed for a girl, I was five, and we were playing doctor. I think her name was Rosie."

Steve:(gives him a long look) „Okaaay. Well, let me think, uhm..."

Tony: „No, Rogers, now you have to tell me the truth about when you first undressed for a girl! That's how you play, I went first with something interesting and intimate, now you have to follow up! Then, you can chose the next truth, which I'll have to answer to!"

Steve:(embarrassed) „Aw man, Tony! Really? I should have known this was a bad idea."

Tony: „Now come on Steve, it can't be that bad! Just say it, and move on to the next thing, then you can take revenge on me."

Steve:(sighing) „Alright. Well... This is hard... I can't remember ever undressing for a girl... Does my Mom count?"

Tony:(looks at him amused and baffled, then laughs) „Waha, wait, you never played doctor with a gal? And when you were older, you never, you know, stripped for a honey? Come on, those army nurses must have tried to get you out of your pants!"

Steve:(bright red) „Well, I don't really know... I can't remember much from when I was a little kid. And I never did something like that, it wasn't appropriate! Sooo... Oh. Oh no."

Tony: „What?"

Steve:(looks at him shy) „Well, the part about the army nurse. I forgot. After I was, you know, transformed, they had me make some tests and check-ups. For one I actually had to strip, so that a doctor could make observations. And, well, I thought it would be a male doctor. But it was a woman! I almost died of shame that day! I guess, that's why I tried to forget it."

Tony:(laughs, then smiles at him) „So nurse Joy got you good that day?"

Steve:(cringes) „More like nurse Ratched! She was this big bully of a woman, with small, evil eyes, and a double chin. And man, did she have cold hands!"

Tony:(laughs even more)

Steve:(drinks, then gives Tony a mock-angry look) „You just wait. Hmm... something embarrassing to admit, that you'll have to admit after me. Thing is, I don't think there are many things you're ashamed of, if any!"

Tony:(smiles) „Yeah, could be true."

Steve: „Well... there are not many things I fear, but I'm still afraid of centipedes. When I was little, they used to crawl around everywhere, and even nowadays, when I stumble across one and it slithers away, it freaks me out! I'm really not fond of them. There. Now you can laugh."
