I let her go because I know she could do better, and now she's gone; I wonder if I should've just been better. -Atticus

A young couple walked the streets of New York as they searched for an inconspicuous gym to work out in after their last one had been burned down. They had been searching for about three hours when they finally found one and went inside.

As Deddric and Kailani entered wearing their athletic clothes, Kailani noticed a tall, powerfully built man working at a punching bag in his mid-twenties. She had a flash of the future, and he was in it.

"May my girlfriend and I inquire your name first? We've had... people try and harm us when we answer such questions," Deddric said, stepping around Kailani.

"Oh! Yes! Sorry for my rudeness! My name is Captain Steve Rogers," Steve responded with dignity.

Kailani and Deddric whispered to each other, trying to decide whether or not they could trust Captain Rogers. Kailani was the one who made the final decision.

"My name is Kailani Eero, and my boyfriend here is Deddric Ianto. We didn't run because we have dealt with scarier things than a little brute strength, Captain Rogers," Kailani stated with an air of regality and authority about her.
