Steve was walking up to the World War II memorial. As he looked around he saw a teen that was just sitting looking at the memorial. When Steve got closer he could see the kid looked to be seventeen, and had a piece of paper in his hand. Steve walked over, and sat on the other side of the bench. They sat in silence for about fifteen minutes.
"Did you come here to remember a family member?" Steve questioned gently.
"It's a long story Cap." The teen
Steve was about to object to being called that by someone he had just meet. When the tone and the way he said it triggers a memory. A few days ago Spider-Man had said almost the same thing. A terrifying thought sent a chill though him.
The few minutes of Steve's contemplation is all the time it takes for Peter to realize what he just said. He looks at Steve with fear in his eyes. What Steve says next almost makes Peter's heart stop right then and there.
Steve decides to test his theory still hoping he is wrong, "How are your ribs healing you got hit pretty hard the other day?"
Steve watches the teen's every move. When the kid subconsciously moves to touch his side Steve's eye's widen for a second. He can hardly believe that Spider-Man is just a kid.
"What's wrong your usually so careful about you ID?" Steve
"My name is Peter Parker by the way. Do you have any thing to do this after noon because it's along story?" Peter
"Not that I know of so I've got time." Steve
"Well remember two months ago when that building down town lost power for a few hours?" Peter
Steve nodded not knowing where Peter was going with this.
"Well it happened when I was just finishing a patrol. I was fighting this guy named Smyth who had this high tech laser gun. I was trying get it way from him when it overloaded. The energy released opened a portal through time, and space. I ended up in the middle of Germany on June 6, 1942. An American POW named Robert Hogan found me. Him and his men helped me get home. Did you know them?" Peter
"I heard about there operation. How they helped get people home, but no I never met him. Are you going to tell me the rest of the story?" Steve said the last part as he crossed his arms.
Peter handed the letter to Steve. Who read it rather surprised at the continence. It described how Peter saved Hogan's life, and almost dieing in the process. This isn't what surprised Steve what did was the mention a communique, and thanking him for his help. It also had picture of Peter with Hogan's men on the back.
"What is this about a communique?" Steve
"Well while I was there Hogan got word that a communique was intercepted and it was being kept in this impenetrable compound. They really needed to get it back before it was decoded. If Hogan or his men had tried to get in there they would have been killed. So I went in instead. Security at that place was no joke even with my powers I barely made it in and out without being seen." Peter
"That sounds like good story I'd love to hear it." Steve
"Well my troubles started even before I got near the perimeter fence. Two words mine field not fun, if it hadn't been for my spidy sense I wouldn't have mad it. When I finally got in the compound there were more SS goons then there are S.H.I.E.L.D agents on the Helicarrier. It took two hours of very slow and careful crawling on the ceiling to get to the room I was looking for. After distracting the guards I snuck in grabbed the envelope. It took me another two hours to sneak back out." Peter
"That sounds like quite the challenge." Steve
"Oh it was never before has my spider sense buzzed more in my life. It rang so much that I had a pounding headache the next morning." Peter
Steve began to ponder this then a thought occurred to him.
"Was there an insignia, or number on the envelope?" Steve
"Um yeah there was an eagle with the letters SSR under neither was 107th." Peter
"Peter when I was in the Army do you what unite I was in?" Steve
"No I don't the day they covered that was the day after the lizard thing. I had to say home because of my injuries so I told my aunt I was sick." Peter
"The reason I ask is that I was assigned to the 107th. On June 8th we were scheduled to rescue a group of prisoners from a Hydra bass. But on the morning of the 6th we received word that a communique detailing the entire mission might have been compromised. The next day we were told that the mission was back on because an underground unit was able to retrieve the communique. The mission was a success by the way." Steve
"What happened after you got back?" Peter
"Corneal Philps tried to figure out how they got it back. They wouldn't tell." Steve
"I hope they didn't get into trouble." Peter
"Oh they didn't Philips was mad though, it was pretty funny actually." Steve
"I'm glad, I was the one who made them promise not to tell anyone." Peter
They spent a few minutes in silence.
"It's getting close to lunch time. Why don't you come to the tower with me? Don't worry I won't tell anyone your secret." Steve
"That would be awesome." Peter
The two of them walked off chatting like old friends. Their meeting was turn of events neither of them were expecting.
