Summary
Nine months after coming out of the ice, Steve does a good deed by saving a kid from a fight. Or so he thinks. What follows is hardly anything that he could have foreseen as Steve's life changes and changes and changes and he with it and maybe, just maybe, the future isn't so bad after all.
***
Steve was just walking down the street to the little shop at the corner to get something to eat when he heard it. Grunts and swears and angry hisses. The tell-tale sounds of a fight. When he walked into the alley to see what was going on, he was met by a painfully familiar scene – two people fighting each other, one big and bulky, the other small, smaller even than Steve had been before the Serum. The little one, Steve wasn’t able to tell if it was a boy or a girl, was just scrabbling back on their feet, bright blue and pink hair falling into their eyes; eyes that spoke of burning anger and boundless fury and Steve – Steve couldn’t just stand there and watch.
“Hey,” he called out, grabbing the big guy by his shoulder and pulling him back, “Pick on someone your own size.”Series
