Washington, D.C.


The sun has barely risen over the capital of the United States, as a man begins his daily jog around the Tidal Basin, crossing monuments of American history. However, this man was always passed by someone very much faster than him.

That man being Steve Rogers - Captain America himself.

Every morning, like clockwork, Steve always manages to sprint by him, always panting, "On your left!" while always passing his left. The man was impressed how Steve could manage this so early, but was annoyed by how frequently Steve passed him.


As he jogged right past the Capitol building, he knew Steve was just a few feet behind him, ready to say what he dreaded. "Don't say it!" Sam groaned. "Don't you say it!"

 "Don't you say it!"

"On your left!"

"COME ON!" He yelled as he rounded about the corner of the Reflecting Pool, groaning in exhaustion. Steve was a good couple of meters away.

Sam later found himself leaning against a tree to catch his breath. "Need a medic?" A familiar voice asked in a friendly tone, making Sam laugh as the Man Out of Time approached him.

"I need a new set of lungs!" Sam joked. "Dude, you just ran 13 miles in 30 minutes!"

"Guess I got a late start," Steve joked back, making Sam laugh yet again. "Really?" Sam replied. "You should be ashamed of yourself. You should take another lap!" He panted, throwing his left arm.

He looked away for a second, then turned back to Steve. "Did you just take it?" He joked sarcastically. "I assumed you just took it."

Steve looked at the sweatshirt Sam was wearing, noting the crest on the left was from the U.S. Military. "What unit you with?" He asked him, as he pointed to the crest.

"58th Pararescue," Sam answered. "But now I'm working down at the VA." Sam raised his arm for Steve to lift him up.

"Sam Wilson." He introduced himself as Steve grabbed his arm and lifted him up.
