For anyone who doesn't know me, my name's Steve Rogers. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to meet many of you at the feast. Things came up, but I at least wanted to introduce myself.
[For reasons, curiosity. Maybe he's a limited edition but he's definitely not one of a kind.]
I also wanted to talk about something else. Some of you might remember Sam Wilson - in fact, if you ever met him, I'm willing to bet that you do. Sam served two tours in the military, so he could definitely hold his own in a fight. But what he really loved to do was help people. My entire world had turned its back on me, and Sam took me in, made me bacon and eggs. That's the kind of friend I hope to be to anyone who'd call me one.
[Emphasis on 'anyone'.]
Sam's gone now, but he started working on something before he left. It's a clinic, he called it The Nest. There's some medicine and stuff there, but it was more than that. It was a place for people to come if they just needed to talk, or if they needed to rest. I never realized it before, but sometimes in a war people need that as much as they need bandaging up.
[Steve pauses there to take deep breath. Here comes the hard part.]
This is my friend's legacy, and I've tried to keep it afloat. The problem is, I don't know how. And it's hard for me to ask for help sometimes.
[He can barely even maintain eye contact. But the same thing keeps going through his head, fuels him on: for Sam.]
But if you have anything to offer...if you have medical knowledge or if you're just a good listener, even if you want somewhere else to stay. There's a place for you here.
I guess that's it. Again, welcome, and try to watch yourselves out there.

It applies to other things, too.

Like I said. Multiple applications.

So I planted the acorn. I did manage that much without help.

Is it growing?

Yeah, I think so. I think it's going break through the ground in a day or so.
Do you think it'd be okay if I named it?

I don't see why not. I think they'd like it.
Apparently the Sisterhood usually picks L-names for themselves.

Lucia?

[And then, a little mischievously:]
Did you hit her?

[ Otherwise... well, it was within the realm of possibility. ]

[Oh no, he's liking this mental image a little too much.]
I would've put my money on you. What you lack in size, you make up for in speed. I can't tell you how fast you've crawled all over me before.

[ Steve. ]
And you've liked it every time.

[As long as it wasn't a fight to the death.]
And that's not true. I didn't like, I loved it.
