All of the remaining commandos stand in a bar, solemn looks covering their features as everyone around them celebrates the end of the war. "To the Captain and Raven," Jack annouces, holding up his glass. The other men do so as well, clinking their drinks together, and sadly drink.

Peggy and Phillps work on cleaning up the base. Peggy stores away from files, looking sadly at a picture of her and Rose. Phillips walks over to his desk, staring sadly the picture he has of Rose and Steve together, tears brimming his eyes.

In a boat on the Atlantic ocean, Howard and some men travel, searching for his sister and Steve. One man stands at a control panel, watching the footage of the robotic arm. "Sir."

Howard walks over, staring at the cube with interest, "collect it. And take us to the next grid point."

"But there's no trace of wreckage," the man informs Howard, "and the energy signal trace stops here."

Looking out the boat window, Howard tells the man sternly, "just keep looking. We're searching every grid point we have."

70 YEARS LATER - 2011

Steve lays in a bed, his eyes fluttering open. A baseball game is heard on the radio, "there's a pitch, it's a ball high outside. So, the dodgers tied four to four. At the count no doubt, on swing of his bat. This fella is capable of making a brand new game again. Just an absolutely beautiful day here at Ebbets field."

Steve slowly sits up, looking around the room he is in, glancing over to the radio. He looks around, looking to the green and white walls, shocked he's alive. Just then the door opens, a woman with dark red hair walking in. She wears a tan skirt and white blouse with a tie, "good morning." She glances to her watch, "or should I say afternoon."

Steve looks to the woman, strongly asking, "where am I?"

"You're in a recovery room in New Yourk city," the woman replies, smiling warmly at Steve.

Steve glances over to the radio as it continues with the game, "the dodgers take the lead, it's eight to four. Oh ho, dodgers! What a game we have here today, folks. Fine game indeed."

"Where am I really?" Steve asks again, swinging his legs over the bedside and intently looking at the woman. "Where is Rose?"

"Specialist Rosalie is in another recovery room," the woman informs Steve, "and I'm afraid I don't understand."

"The game," Steve says, "it's from May, 1941. I know because I was there." the woman tenses when Steve gets up from the bed, as she silently clicks a button on a device. "Now, I'm going to ask you again. Where am I?"

"Captain Rogers," the woman says, but Steve cuts her off.

"Who are you?" Steve asks strongly. Just then two men walk into the room, startling Steve. Glancing between the two men, Steve nervously steps back. One of them steps towards him, reaching out an arm, but Steve grabs him and tosses him away. Getting up, both men step toward Steve, but they are thrown through the wall. The debri and men fall, laying on the floor as Steve jumps over the broken wall. Turning around he looks scared and runs right through the door.

"Captain Rogers wait!" The woman shouts. "All agents we have a code 13." Steve runs out to the hallway, the woman's voice now on a speaker, "I repeat, all agents code 13."

Steve looks to his right, beginning to run as agents follow him. Pushing down some men, Steve makes it out of the building and looks around terrified, as he runs down the street with cars honking at him. Stopping the middle of a plaza, Steve looks at the buildings in wonder and scared, as billboards of different things are located all around him.
