I woke up before we landed and directed myself to the back of the room, where the Captain laid unconscious. Phil was already there, watching his childhood hero laying before him. The ice was all gone and Steve seemed to have gotten back colour into his face, now, he was just asleep.

"How did he do it?" I asked again.

"Good morning to you, too." I smiled.

"Sorry. Good morning, Philip Coulson, the love of my life. Would you like some coffee and doughnuts, darling?" He rolled his eyes and laughed at my mockery and the sudden British accent that slipped through my words.

"When we land, Carter." I chuckled. "And, to answer your question, they don't really know." My eyes snapped to his side profile. "Doctor said that it was suspended animation, but smart's money is on Erskine's formula." I looked at Phil, folding my arms over my chest. "The Super Soldier serum enhanced him physically and cellularly, his metabolism and immune system. He survived all those years due to the cold and his own cells."

"It's impressive. Almost impossible." He nodded.

"Indeed." I sighed. "Here's the file the Doctor made." He handed over the folder and I took it. When I opened it, it revealed pictures of Rogers frozen and after he had defrosted, and important notes about his condition.

"Are we landing in Washington?"

"New York." I nodded and headed to the changing rooms to get off the tactical suit and replace it for the pantsuit I was wearing yesterday that I had kept in my bag.

  After we had arrived at the US, the Quinjet that took us to Headquarters in no time, Rogers was attached to a stretcher so that he was secured and didn't risk falling or getting injured. We arrived at H.Q. in about thirty minutes, Fury and Hill were there to receive us.

"Oh, you're shitting me." Said Hill as we got off the Quinjet with members of our team pushing down Steven's stretcher carefully while I held the shield.

"My thoughts exactly as we found him." Said Coulson. "I almost shat my pants, actually."

"True. You should've seen his face." I commented.

"Like a kid in a candy shop." Fury teased.

"Precisely." Coulson shook his head. "Here's his medical file." I handed it over to Maria.
