Steve Rogers landed on his back on the mat with a grunt. Above him, he saw Peter's worried face.

"Oh my God, Captain Rogers, I'm sorry! Are you ok?"

Steve huffed out a laugh. "I'm fine, Peter," He said as he got up. He & Peter had been sparring in the gym at the Compound. Tony had brought it up, and the other Avengers had agreed, that while Peter was capable, it wouldn't hurt to have him hone his skills with the team. Peter himself had been at the same time excited and a little intimidated at the prospect. "See? No harm done," Steve briefly put his hand on Peter's shoulder. "Nice job, by the way. You're improving. I think that's the first time you've ever flipped me."

Peter started to blush at the praise, but still looked worried. "Thanks, Captain Rogers, but are you sure you're ok? I don't often use that much of my strength. Maybe we should get Dr. Banner to look you over or something."

"Relax, Queens." Steve replied. "Don't forget I'm one of the few who can go toe-to-toe with you, strength-wise. Although I think one day, you'll probably be stronger than I am if you aren't already."

Peter briefly perked up at that, then sobered. "You think so? I don't know if that would be good or bad. I have a hard-enough time keeping the strength I have now in check. The last thing I want to do is accidentally hurt someone."

Steve understood that fear, despite his proclivity for Natasha called 'punching his way out of situations'. "I can help you get a handle on that. It does take practice, and even I'm not perfect. I've been known to still crush a doorknob or put a dent in a wall because I wasn't thinking. You never know, though, when you're going to need your full strength to get out of a situation."

Peter looked thoughtful. "I already have. I once lifted part of a collapsed building off my back."

Steve let out a low whistle. "Impressive. I stopped a helicopter from taking off with my bare hands."

At that, the conversation devolved into a friendly competition between the two of them to see who could one-up the other.

"I stopped an elevator that was in free-fall."

"I chased down a getaway car on foot."

"I caught a speeding mini-van and stopped it from running into a bus."

Steve laughed and shook his head. "We'd better watch it, or the rest of the team is gonna have us performing Feats of Strength for Festivus."

Peter's jaw dropped. "You know about Festivus?"

Steve grinned. It was always amusing during those rare times when he could 'impress' someone with his knowledge of pop culture references. "Yeah, Tony made me watch that episode the first Christmas season after we met. Said it was an important part of being up to date on modern holiday traditions. I'll be honest though, that's the only episode of the show I've seen."

"You should watch it; it was pretty good for an old show. May & Ben used to watch the re-runs of it."

"I'll add it to the list." Steve then reverted back to the original topic. He & Peter seemed to have a knack for going off on tangents whenever they talked. "Seriously though, we can work on feeling more confident about knowing when to use that muscle."

"I mean, you don't have to go through all that trouble. I know you're probably busy with Avengers things…"

"It's no trouble," Steve replied earnestly. He had a feeling Peter didn't want to feel like a burden. "Tony trusts us with making sure you have all the best strategies at your disposal. Not that you haven't been able to handle yourself, but we all want to make sure you're as safe as possible out there."

"Does that mean you'll let me use your shield?"

"Only for training purposes. And on one condition. Will I get to try your webshooters?"

Peter smirked. "Only for training purposes."
