Author's Note:
Hello everyone, anyone. I love reading Captain America fics and love the ones where he has just woken up and has to struggle to adjust to the "future." So I decided to write my own. I found a timeline on tumblr that has him waking up about 8 days before the start of the Avengers. This is my take on it. There will be some drama, some action, some romance, and probably a lot of mistakes. I don't have a beta so it's just me for right now freeballing it lol. I hope you enjoy and please follow and comment!
Marvel or any of its characters do not belong to me.


Prologue: April 22, 2011

"I think we should call him."

"No we shouldn't," John said sternly. "We don't even know if it's what we are digging for."

Richard's foggy goggles turned to look at him then back at the ice. He took his ice pick and hit it against the glacier in front of him and his partner. Both of them continued to clear away the ice in silence. Their picks clinked in a steady rhythm. Their breaths were coming out in puffs of steam as they worked. The temperatures were far below zero making everyone want to work as fast as possible. Now they were working fast because there was a possibility of finally finding it.

Richard dropped his pick to the fluffy snow below. He slowly lifted his goggles and took a step closer to what they had uncovered. Beside him John had started clearing away the leftover iced that had remained. Both of them were speechless. Richard turned to look at John, both of their mouths agape. He had already taken off of his glove and started dialing the Director.

After a moment John said, "Yes, Director. This is Agent Ashwell. W-we found him." John turned back to stare at the body in the ice. His skin was slightly blue from the ice. The man looked so serene almost like he was sleeping. "We found him," he repeated. "We found Captain America."
