''Some stuff you leave there, other you bring back. It's our job to figure out how to carry it. Is it going to be in a big suitcase or a little man's purse? It's up to you''. Steve listened to Sam talk as he leaned on the wall with crossed arms. Even if he arrived at the end of the lecture he must confess it was interesting and Sam did an outstanding job with those people.

Steve allowed all the variants to move past him clearing the room as he waited for Sam. When all of them were finally out he approached him.

''Well look who it is the running man'' Sam said kindly having some papers in his hand.

''Caught the last few minutes. It's pretty intense.''Steve told him.

''Yeah brother.We all have the same problem.''The man paused for a second ''Guilt,regret''

''You lost someone'' Steve asked

''My wing man ''Sam looked at him ''Riley. Flying a night mission. Standard PJ rescue op is nothing we haven't done thousands of times before, till RPG knocked Riley's dumb ass out of the sky. Nothing I could do. It's like I was up there just watching. After that, I have a really hard time finding a reason to bring over there, you know?''

''But you are happy now, being back in the world?'' Steve asked.

''The number of people giving me orders is down to zero. So hell yeah. You thinking about getting out?''

''No'' Steve sighed ''I don't know, to be honest, I don't know what I would do with myself if I did.''

''Ultimate fighting ?''Sam said making Steve smile

''Just a great idea off the top of my head. But seriously you could do whatever you want. What makes you happy?''

''I have something in mind but for my job...I don't know'' Steve said having Alice on his mind. This is what made him happy, being with her, starting a family with her.

''Well well, I am an expert in that look'' Sam laughed.

''What look?''

''That look'' Sam said pointed on Steve's eyes ''So...Who is the lucky girl?''

''Her name is Alice, British works as a professor and we met when she came in here to see her godfather with her family. She will be back in a month. Alice is a very special girl, kind, sweet and gorgeous but at the same time she can kick your ass if you hurt someone she loves''

Sam saw how Steve admired Alice and realized how much he liked her, not by his words but by the look he had in his eyes when he talked for her. They sparkled.

''I can see. Get married and have a normal and peaceful life. So, should we expect a little Captain America soon?'' Sam teased him.

''Trust me too quickly, but I would like one in the future'' Steve confessed.
