video: un: s.rogers
[ The video flicks on, blurs for a moment, then comes into focus on a rather handsome-looking man in his late 20's with a fairly scruffy looking beard and long-ish hair swept back. He's still got something of a boyish look to him even if his eyes have the kind of depth to them that expresses that he's seen some shit.
Some might recognize him from past battles, the wave-drops, the riots, or most recently: the torture room. Some might have seen him walking through the city of Olympia while on Royal Guard duty. And some might recognize him because of the shield he carries. It's kind of hard to miss.
He clears his throat and begins to speak. ]
I'm sure I've likely seen a lot of you at the recent coalition meeting - [ There's a mild expression on Steve's face, something very nearly unreadable - but he's very obviously not happy about it. ] - if not before that.
[ There's a pause. ]
And that's actually what I'm here to speak to you about. My name is Steve. I don't make a lot of network posts - [ This being his first, actually. ] - but I wanted to reach out to anyone who feels angry, frustrated and helpless from the kidnappings and everything that happened after. I want to start up a kind of self-defense class. A training club, if you will.
Sure, it might not change the future possibility of something like this happening again, but maybe it'll help some of you feel just a little more in-control of the situation. If anything, it's a good way to vent some of the frustration out. [ He shrugs a shoulder. ] I've found it helps me.
I've got a fair amount of experience in hand-to-hand combat myself but I could always use a little more practice. Anyone's welcome to join me. Anyone who can teach me a couple of things would be great too.
[ He figures having a couple of volunteer teachers alongside him would be beneficial for everyone involved. ]
I'd like to use this post to gauge interest and maybe set something up for the weekend. I'm usually training then, anyway.
Thanks for watching this.
[ Steve moves in to hit 'stop' on the recording, and with that the message ends and the screen goes black. Clear, simple, to the point - that's Cap. ]

I guess you could say I've been enhanced a little.

[ and why... what for... there's so many questions. ]
no subject
[ And one he'd rather not have to explain over the public network. ]
But you know, you ask an interesting question. I'm guessing you're not human? Or you're pretty comfortable with non-human beings?
no subject
Not human. I'm a YoHRa Unit, an android basically ... but I'm also comfortable with non-human beings. [ humans are super complicated. ]
no subject
[ How android-y is that? Are we talking Vision-slash-Ultron levels of androidiness? Or something else all together?
He's hardly the science-inclined Avenger (or ex-Avenger, as it were) so it's a little hard to wrap his mind around it.
Jokingly: ]
You sure you won't have an advantage over everyone else?

[ jokes on steve, she doesn't get jokes.
she really needs someone to teach her more about them. ] Only if they're weak.
