Summary

Furrowed eyebrows and a deep frown was reflected back at him. Blue eyes, short, messy blonde hair, and slight scabs around his pale face was the thing that met him in his reflection.

This was him?

He looked…tired.
—
Where Steve finds himself during those moments in consciousness – assaulted by blackouts and perceived voices that plague his head – there are others alongside him. He is not the only one in his head.

The voices —as they deem one other— are just trying to live their lives while the world is burning down around them, everything washing away in hot liquid agony within every few weeks. Fragmented and struggling, some try to live a life in a cage, some are oblivious to what’s a reality and what’s not, and some are living a nightmare.

Summary

Of course, he would; he’s always there at his side. Steve’s shoulder to lean on. To tell him he’s being reckless. It’s going to happen again. Why would it be any different? There’s a laughter in his head.

Summary

Standing up with a deep breath. “Now, I’m going to ask you again. Where am I?”
It rustled against her sleeves before he saw it. “Captain Rogers.” She trailed off.
Rogers. Was that his name?

A man wakes up from the ice into a world he doesn't know of. A story already laid out for him. And yet, he cannot even remember his name.
