Steve's POV
"I can tell just from what you're wearing that you're from the future too. Let's have a chat shall we?" The strange man said to me, looking me up and down.
"I- uh, sure? I'm guessing I don't really have a choice anyways, do I?" I said to him in response. He nodded and let me go, gesturing for me to follow him. He walked around a bit until we found a newspaper.
"God fucking- look at this future boy." The strange man shoved the newspaper towards me.
"I have a name you know..." I looked at the newspaper. It seemed to be pretty normal- wait a second, did I just read that right?
"We landed in Dallas, Texas?! No, I'm supposed to be in New York City!" I groan out.
"Hold on, you're bothered by the location rather than the date?!" The strange man gives me a confused look.
"Well, yeah. But before we talk more, we should establish a plan. Does that sound okay to you...? What's your name by the way?" I ask him, slightly panicked. Tony's tech never malfunctions, but now that I know there are other forces determining our lives, I have a feeling when I ripped the timeline to get to the 60's, the universe placed me in an unknown place, but I think I'm here for a reason.
"Yeah blondie, that sounds good. The name's Diego, Diego Hargreeves. And you?"
"Steve, Steve Rogers."
"SHIT! Really?! Didn't you die like 20 years ago? Captain America? Holy shit I threatened The Captain America, I am so sorry for that."
I laughed at his slight panic at finding out who I was.
"Yes, I'm Captain America, but please, call me Steve. We should get going and find a place to stay, and I'm going to assume that you have hispanic blood in you, but you pass as white, which will make it easier to pass us off as brothers. I apologize if that sounds racist in any way, but we're in the time period of segregation. Now, let's find a hotel for the night." I said, silently hoping I didn't come off as rude or racist.
"Okay, that's a solid plan Ca- I mean Steve. And you didn't come off as racist at all, but we're in the 60's so it wouldn't be out of place anyways, but thank you for considering me at all." Diego said that last part softly but I heard it.
"You're welcome."
With that, they looked for directions to the nearest hotel.
"Two streets down about a half a mile in." someone said. The two men thanked them and ran to the hotel. Steve paid for a room with 2 beds in it. The cashier raised an eyebrow.
"We're brothers." Diego spoke up. The receptionist sighed and gave Steve the key to the hotel room. They thanked her and ran up to the room. Once they were inside, they finally relaxed.
"Okay Steve, what the hell happened in the future or alternate timeline or whatever the fuck?"
"Well, after facing Loki in New York in 2012, facing Ultron in 2015, Suddenly facing off my friends in 2016, I had to go into hiding until 2018 when Thanos suddenly attacked earth, and we lost. Thanos had snapped his gauntlet full of the infinity stones. Half of the population everywhere turned to dust. Then, we faced Thanos again using time travel, it's a long story, and we won but we lost not just two absolutely amazing heroes, but two amazing family members as well. We were like a family." I finally stopped talking. Diego has a surprised, confused, shocked, concerned look on his face.
"Wow. That didn't happen in the future where I'm from. We must all be in a different universe now. Shit, shit,shit how the hell is Five gonna find me, will I ever see Vanya or Klaus again? Fuck this is bad oh no-"
I slapped him.
"Man, snap out of it. I'm sure if you travelled together you ended up in the same universe in the same place but probably different years. We will just have to wait to see them. Think about it." I told him, hoping that he's smart enough to understand. Diego nods his head and seems to understand. I decided to look at a clock. 1:30am?!
"Holy wow it's late! We should probably go to bed." I say, faking a yawn, then I end up actually yawning from fake yawning. {AN: Did I make you yawn yet? Yes? Good.}
"Good idea, we have a long day ahead tomorrow."
"Goodnight Diego."
"Goodnight Steve."
I laid down in the bed after changing in the bathroom. Diego was snoring loudly, so I knew he was asleep. I couldn't sleep. I had to figure out a way to get Bucky back while helping Diego out. I can't call myself a hero if I don't help others, right? I sigh and roll over. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
