BROOKLYN
[A Brooklyn gym at night. Occupied by one man, beating a punching bag in the gym lights, alone in the floor, lost in the fight. The gym is old, as old as the man inside, Captain America, or Steve Rogers. He beats the bag harder, like physically hurting it will repress the memories.]
[Flashback]
[Hydra base, Captain America is running through a forest, dodging mortar shells, gunfire and Tesseract energy blasts.]
STEVE: [Echoey] There's not enough time! I gotta put her in the water!
[In the present, Steve's punches become harder and more violent.]
[in the flashback, Steve places the compass he has, featuring a picture of Peggy Carter, on the dash as the plane plummets towards the ice.]
[The present, punches become violent and aggressive.]
PEGGY CARTER: [flashback voice] You won't be alone.
Steve looked at the screen sadly upon hearing his old lover's voice.
[Red Skull picks up the Tesseract, and vanishes.]
[In the present, Steve is breathing the bag with everything he has, destroying it and beating his fists.]
SHIELD SCIENCETIST: [flashback] Oh my god!
[Steve is lying on a table, half frozen, and still partially trapped in a slab of ice. Two SHIELD scientists run equipment over him, checking for his vitals. Something flickers...]
SHIELD SCIENCETIST: This guy is still alive!
[Present. Steve punched the bag, easily a hundred pounds, across the room with one swing snapping the metal chain and pummeling it back a dozen feet, sand spilling out from where he cracked the fabric. He stands up, breathing hard, and grabs another bag, resuming a more normal routine. Fury walks in.]
Many people's eyes widened. "DAMN you're strong!" A random student exclaimed.
FURY: Trouble sleeping?
STEVE:I slept for seventy years sir, I think I had my fill.
"Seventy years!" The purebloods asked. They were shocked and couldn't believe that somebody was asleep for a very long time and not age.
The headmaster looked at Steve curiously, "What magic did you use?"
"He didn't use magic! It's just some science that you probably wouldn't understand," Eleni scoffed.
