And this is how I became the nomad.

Synopsis

If you need us, if you need me, I'll be there.

This was my last words on Tony's letter. Joined by a phone. This decision wasn't easy, but this was the only way. We need to disappear, for a while. My last words on Tony's letter was my first words, beginning of a new life. Steve Roger's life. I am not Captain America anymore and I think this was the best decision I have ever made. Captain America, I always tried to make no difference between the First Avenger and the little guy from Brooklyn, as Bucky said once. Sometimes it was ash, sometimes easier ,but I have always kept the same conviction, help people, and this is not ready to disappear at the same time of the shield, but sometimes I was confused, who was I ? This question haunted my nights. Am I the same ? This one too, followed by a hundred of uncertainties who kept me awake all nights long, who sometimes flew away when I was boxing but always came again when my eyes were closing.

I don't want to be that anymore, I don't even know if I want to be an avenger anymore. As I said in Tony's letter, I think I am not really fitted in the fact of being an Avenger. Of course to the State, I am not one anymore but for me, by watching my uniforms, pictures from the good old days, I am just lost in the middle of nowhere in my mind, and I must do as I perfectly know what I am doing because right now, in this six feet underwater jail, I accomplish my last mission, I save my friends, I let them free, I save my team who followed me even when we were in the most difficult situations. Now it's their choice, start a new life, travel, start from nothing, just be a fugitive, a nomad. For how long ? We will never be able to answer.

I am lost, since the SHIELD had fallen. I am lost, since I have opened my eyes in 2011, the 21st century. I am lost since I lose Bucky on that train.

I am lost but I know more than ever where my path is.

I gave up the shield, I erased the star spangled uniform.

Maybe some will call me cap again.

But now, I have just one and only name.

Steve Rogers.
