[The video starts out blurry and disorienting, walls spinning as the NV is handed off from one person to another. The background is a generic hospital room; bland walls, bland flooring, bland bed, uncomfortable chairs for visitors... Standing out against the pale walls is a colourful circular shield painted in red, white, and blue, propped up beside the bed. Next to it is an unidentifiable lump of clothing in the same colours. Slightly off-center on the screen is Steve himself, looking and feeling completely out of place. For a long moment, all he does is look confused.]

It’s on? Recording? [A soft voice offscreen confirms, stating that it’ll be just like the network videos they’d looked at earlier. The young man holding the NV looks unconvinced but turns his attention back to the device in his hand, eyeing it critically before addressing it.] Hi. Um. I’m Steve. Rogers. I guess when I arrived I was unconscious so they brought me to this hospital and... Is this really some other universe? I’ve seen some really strange things so it’s not all that unbelievable but..

Oh, the nurse said that I should try this.. network thing, see if anyone I know is out there. So I guess if you know me, say hi? And I’ll figure out how to say hi back. Somehow. Maybe.

[And boy is that smile gorgeous. Jack doesn't want to scare him off, though, so he just smiles back and nods.]

I did, yeah. The Allies won, if you hadn't figured that out yet.

[Smiles are especially contagious where Cap is concerned, so that little one grows into a full-blown smile in return.]

I hadn't. Alternate dimensions can skew thing a little, you know? But [and here there's a relieved laugh] doesn't that beat all? You've pretty much made my day right there.

[STEVE, seriously, stop being sexy, it is very difficult for Jack not to flirt with you.]

Glad to hear it then! [There's an outright grin out of him, now, too.] I was in London during the end of it, actually.
