[ It's been a long, long while since Steve transmitted a message through the network, and that's been no accident. His last announcement was when he came back from his last trip home, over a year ago. It hadn't felt right to take the lead in the same way after that, and others had jumped in to take his place as needed. Hadn't they? He'd thought as much, but others have told him that he's still needed as a leader. Maybe not as Cap, but as Steve.
It's a work in progress.
But here he is all the same, sending out his message toward the end of the second day. He's indoors; the room he's in not well-lit but his face is still visible. It's quiet out, the calm before the storm. ]
Michonne and I took a trip past the gates today, and... there's something coming. Or, well, a lot of somethings. A whole horde of zombies headed right for us. She's already given you guys the rundown, but I wanted to get the word out. We're gonna have to fight, or barricade ourselves away from danger. [ His expression hardens then, something steely and determined. ] Whatever you can do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe, do it.
[ A pause as he gathers his thoughts, and then he's back to it. ] I know death isn't permanent here, but this isn't a way that anyone wants to go. [ Is he speaking from experience?? Who knows, he doesn't elaborate. ] And I'll do whatever I can to help. In case you didn't know, I've got super strength, super speed, and I can take a hit. I'm not even sure if this infection will affect me because of the way my metabolism is. So if you need help getting out a scrape, let me know, all right? Or even if you just need help barricading a house. [ He's perfect for all that heavy lifting. ] I'm here to do whatever I can.
[ It's never enough, but he's still going to try. If he's learned anything this past year, it's that. ]
Oh, it's Steve, by the way. Steve Rogers. Stay safe, everyone.
[ With a firm nod, he ends the broadcast. For someone who's rusty on the speeches, it could have been worse, right? ]

You might be right. I'm still able to do things a normal human couldn't, I think, but my strength isn't what it should be. Same goes for speed.
[ Not that it changes his original offer to help. ]

[ Zombies he can do. The aftermath of events that get into his head like that? Not fun. ]

[ this is the first she's heard about it. and she is a little horrified. ]

Sometimes, yeah. There was one where I believed I'd grown up to teach at a wizarding school. In another one, I was part of a group that was discriminated against for not having powers. It can run the whole gamut.
