For the Love of a Patriot || 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 ✔️ [#wattys 2018]

"𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥."

I used to think I was normal. Not ordinary, but normal. Yes, I did believe that speaking and translating over twenty different languages for a living was a normal thing to be able to do, and I still do think so.

However the use of the word normal is such an...enigma to me now.

It all started with a sweet, charming strangely simple man I knew as Steve. Others knew him as other things. Super soldier, Captain America, but I just knew him as Steve.

He helped me understand who I was.

It was hard to pinpoint the exact moment when I truly became who I was. I wasn't just good old Rachel Bennett anymore, that was for sure. I was something, someone so much more now. I'd been through struggles, a million of them, physical and mental.

It took me a moment to realize that a struggle is one's greatest strength.

Being an Avenger was one thing. Navigating life? That was so much harder.
