It was 6 am, his alarm started ringing but Steve was already awake.
He sat straight and began preparing for his usual run in the morning.

The cool breeze woke him up, he hadn't been able to sleep properly since... since he was back in his time.
The second world war didn't seem to far away for him, at least not mentally yet somehow everything had changed so much, he was out of place, out of his time and probably out of his own life but...he was here. Steve had been one of the youngest men the army had recruited, he didn't like to admit it but he had technically been a kid, and somehow he was so old now.
Captain America was his title, everyone in school knew him by that name but he didn't feel like him anymore, that's probably why he always tried to help and think about other people, it was as if he could forget his own problems and it worked just well, except when he was sleeping, in his dreams he had to deal with himself.

"Hey there!" A familiar voice shouted to him

Steve stopped and turned to see his friends Sam and Natasha
"Good morning"

Sam was starting to get out of breath "Why do we have to run so early?"

The red head rolled her eyes "Oh please don't tell me you are tired"

"No!" He answered defensively "I was just saying this would be much easier if I wasn't still sleeping"

Rogers laughed "Wanna do a race?"

Sam laughed "That's not gonna work anymore"

Natasha smiled mischievously "Let's make a bet! I'll buy the winner breakfast but whoever loses has to carry me all the way bak to my room"

"Deal" Steve said

"No" Sam answered almost immediately "there's no chance for me to win!"

"I'll give you a 3 minutes of advantage"

That made Sam reconsider, he was definitely hungry, plus three minutes sounded just enough for him to win
"Where to?"

Natasha pointed at the nearest tree to the mansion, it looked less far than it actually was

Sam nodded "Fine"

Natasha counted to three and Wilson ran as fast as he could, while Steve crossed his arms.
When three minutes had passed Sam could see himself winning against Steve, for the first time!
Except Steve was faster than him by a lot!
Rogers passed Wilson as if they had began running at the same time
"To your left" he had shouted proudly

As he ran he heard the distant yell of Sam "SON OF A BITCH"

In the end Steve was grateful for this second chance.
