REC

This is just another bit of silliness that contains several of my favorite MCU tropes: the Avengers living together in the tower, Steve being a BAMF, Steve surprising people by not being a right wing propaganda machine, and civilians learning that nice boy Steve they've been talking to is actually Captain America holy shit.


TEASER

"You maybe shouldn't be photographed here-" Drew started, and Steve lost his temper.

"Thanks for the consideration, and I'm trying not to take offense here, I really am, but if I had an issue with where I currently was standing, I'm old enough to move. I don't have any problem with being photographed here, in fact, give me a dang sign, and I'll be photographed holding that, and it's kind of insulting you think that I would have a problem with being photographed here," he said, shoulders tight. "I think that denying any American citizen a basic right of any kind is just an EMBARRASSMENT for everything that this country stands for, and the sooner we get over this sort of exclusionary political nonsense, the better."

Drew stared at him. "I want to hug you. You are the most adorable human being in the entire world," he said, at last.

All of the Toasterverse is amazing! Tony and Steve talking with the reporter in this is a particularly beautiful scene. "I trust [my employees] with chemicals and explosives and all of my piles of money, but you think I should draw the line at who they want to MARRY?"

My favorite part is Steve catching the bottle 6 inches from Drew's face, calculating the trajectory, then running down the guy who threw it.

Ahhh Toasterverse... Always a Delight.
