I really liked this story about Steve moving out of the SHIELD base and into his old neighbourhood. A little sad, but sweet and hopeful.
“Thanks,” Steve says. “I still need a few things, but I’ve got the basics.”
“That is categorically untrue, you don’t even have a television,” Tony says. “And is that vinyl? Oh god, you’re assimilating! Williamsburg is turning you into one of its own. I knew this would happen.”
“Hey,” Steve says, starting to get annoyed, “I actually know how to operate a record player, and it’s not like I have a burning need to catch up on the television shows I’ve missed. And anyway, I don’t need a lot of stuff.”
Bruce chuckles, suddenly, as if something’s dawned on him. “Actually, Steve, you might fit in just fine in this neighborhood.”
