[Sam Wilson is jogging around Washington D.C. when Steve quickly catches up to him and runs past him.]

"You're running so fast!" a Hufflepuff says.

Steve Rogers: On your left.

[as Sam continues to jog Steve comes around again quickly after doing another lap.]

Steve Rogers: On your left.

Sam Wilson: Uh-huh, on my left. Got it.

[as Sam is still jogging Steve comes around again from behind him from another lap.]

Sam Wilson: Don't say it! Don't you say it!

Steve Rogers: On your left!

Sam Wilson: Come on!

[Sam gets angry and tries to catch up to him but only after a few seconds he's unable to carry on and stops to rest.]

"The pigeon can't keep up with Steve? How sad." Bucky smirks at Sam. Gabrielle sighs in disappointment.

[as Sam is resting catching his breath sitting by a tree Steve walks over to him.]

Steve Rogers: Need a medic?

[Sam laughs.]

Sam Wilson: I need a new set of lungs. Dude, you just ran like 13 miles in 30 minutes.

Steve Rogers: I guess I got a late start.

Sam Wilson: Oh, really? You should be ashamed of yourself. You should take another lap.

Chuckles echo throughout the room.

[He hesitates for a moment before saying sarcastically.]

Sam Wilson: Did you just take it? I assumed you just took it.

Steve Rogers: What unit you with?

Sam Wilson: 58, Pararescue. But now I'm working down at the VA.

[Sam lifts hand to shake]

Sam Wilson: Sam Wilson.

[Steve gives Sam a hand to rise.]

Steve Rogers: Steve Rogers.

Sam Wilson: Yeah I kind of put that together. Must have freaked you out coming home after the whole defrosting thing.

Steve Rogers: It takes some getting used to. It's good to meet you, Sam.

[as Steve turns to leave.]

Sam Wilson: It's your bed, right?

Steve Rogers: What's that?

Sam Wilson: Your bed, it's too soft. When I was over there I'd sleep on the ground and use rock for pillows, like a caveman. Now I'm home, lying in my bed, and it's like...

Steve Rogers: Lying on a marshmallow. Feel like I'm gonna sink right to the floor.

[Sam smiles and nods his head.]

Steve Rogers: How long?

Sam Wilson: Two tours.

Many of the magicals look confused.

[Awkward silence]

Sam Wilson: You must miss the good old days, huh?

Steve Rogers: Well, things aren't so bad. Food's a lot better, we used to boil everything. No polio is good. Internet, so helpful. I've been reading that a lot trying to catch up.

Bucky nods and says, "I agree with you there."

[Sam looks up to think and raises finger]

Sam Wilson: Marvin Gaye, 1972, "Trouble Man" soundtrack. Everything you've missed jammed into one album.

Steve Rogers: I'll put it on the list.

[Steve gets his small notebook and pen out and notes it down on his list which also includes I Love Lucy (Television); Moon Landing; Berlin Wall (Up + Down) Steve Jobs (Apple); Disco; Thai Food; Star Wars/Trek (with Star Wars crossed out, indicating that he has seen it); Nirvana (Band); Rocky (Rocky II?)]

"That's a solid list," Clint compliments.

"I would add the Beatles," Gabrielle says and Bucky nods. Steve gets out his small notebook and adds it.

[Steve gets a text message: "Mission alert. Extraction imminent. Meet at the curb. :)"]

Steve Rogers: Alright, Sam, duty calls. Thanks for the run. If that's what you wanna call running.

[They shake hands.]

Sam Wilson: Oh, that's how it is?

Steve Rogers: Oh, that's how it is.

Sam Wilson: [He laughs.] Okay. Any time you wanna stop by the VA, make me look awesome in front of the girl at the front desk, just let me know.

Steve Rogers: I'll keep it in mind.

Sam Wilson: Okay.

[Just then Natasha pulls up in her car by the curb and rolls down the window.]

Natasha Romanoff: Hey, fellas. Either one of you know where the Smithsonian is? I'm here to pick up a fossil.

"I'm hilarious," Nat smirks.

Steve Rogers: That's hilarious.

[Steve walks over to her car and gets in, Sam gives Natasha and her car an appreciative look.]

Sam Wilson: How you doing?

Natasha Romanoff: Hey.

Steve Rogers: Can't run everywhere.

Sam Wilson: No, you can't.

[He watches as Natasha quickly pulls away and drives off.]
