    Summary

    "I missed him."
    "What?"
    "I missed Cool Jazz, so I missed Miles Davis," Steve shifted forward, bracing his elbows on his knees. "But I read somewhere that he said 'the most important note in a scale is space'. The well-placed absence of sound gives the rest of the music purpose, makes it sing." He hesitated.
    "Maybe it's stupid or trite to say it, but I always hoped life would sing like that, with just enough of a break to make it worthwhile to wait out the rest of the song. Does that... make sense?"
    "I understand." Taking her hand gently in his, she fixed him with a sad smile. "But for some of us..."
    He laughed, humorlessly. "But for some of us."
    "This moment..." she trailed off.
    He breathed in.
    He breathed out.
    "The space in the scale."


    Following Civil War, Team Cap scatters. They lay low and connections somehow turn into connections. However, redemption comes to call wearing the face of a war that the Avengers, strained relations and all, have to fight. Dynamics shift and roles become clear as this war reveals itself to be one fought with mind and heart and soul. No. A piece of soul is literally the price of entry.
