Boxing Gym somewhere in Brooklyn, New York

Steve Rogers is punching the punching bag, recounting recounting various events that took place during his era in World War 2 as Captain America, how he ended up frozen in ice from the 1940s and waking up in the future 2000s.

Rogers finds it difficult to adjust himself to his new surroundings as well as lost since the world moved on without him. He had spent several weeks inside the Retreat which is one of SHIELD's safe houses before finally moving into an apartment in New York City. He hoped that by staying outside of SHIELD, it will be easier to adapt to the changes in the world.

Rogers is deeply sad to find out that most of his friends during the war have passed away. When he finds out that Peggy Carter is still alive, he feels a bit afraid of how Peggy would react if she sees him after so many years assuming that he is dead. Deeply frustrated Rogers broke the punching bag that he is punching.

As Rogers prepared to put up a new punching bag, Director Nick Fury came into the boxing gym.

Fury approached him asking "Trouble sleeping?"

"Slept for almost seventy years, Sir! I think I had my fill" Rogers replied after punching the punching bag several more times.

"Are you adapting well to the world?" Fury replied as he approached closer towards Rogers.

"When I went under the world it was still at war but when I got up they said we won, but they didn't say what we lost" Roger complained slightly as he took off his gloves.

"The world still needs your help, Captain. The world might have changed but the game still remains the same with different players" Fury commented as waited patiently for Rogers.

"Is it a new mission, sir?" Roger questions Fury back.

"No, Captain. If you have read the file about the Avengers Initiative, SHIELD needs your skills and experience to help protect mankind from global threats or enemies hidden in the shadows" Fury said as he passed a file to Rogers.

Taking the file from Fury, Steve open the file revealing info of monsters such as Abomination, mutants lead by Magneto, secret organizations such as The Hellfire Club, aliens such as Kree, hidden Hydra agents and the numerous villains known by SHIELD all over the look back at Fury saying "I am not sure on how I can help. I might be obsolete"

"Don't look down on yourself, Captain! Sometimes old school is what the world needs. Your role would be to lead the Avengers and provide training to the potential heroes joining the Avengers. Maybe by spending more time with people, it will help you slowly adapt back to the world" Fury tried to console Rogers as he passed him another file.

Looking through the files with all the potential recruits for Avengers, Rogers replied "I have read about this some this heroes in the newspaper recently. It seems that they have been doing a good job".

"Yes, but I need your help to test out this individual" Fury said as he gestured to one of the photos.

Looking at the photo, Rogers read through the person's information before saying "There is not much information about him".

"That is what I am worried about. Make it your priority to recruit him, Captain" Fury said seriously as he took a tablet and started showing videos after videos of fights.

Fury continued explaining "This is where you come in Captain. We need you to test him" as Rogers looked at Fury and frowned in confusion. Fury explains the deal he made with the individual.

"Why is this person so important to you, Sir?" Rogers asks while looking at Fury seriously.

"As a secret organization that protects Earth, we need to be able to obtain all information of any particular person that we are investigating. To know whether they are a threat or friendly and how we can stop that person if they become a threat to mankind" Fury explains to Rogers slowly.
