Steve Rogers sighed uncomfortably as he saw the line of people in front of him. Every single one of them were there for his autograph and to ask him how the war was going. He would put on a fake, cheesy smile on his face and spout lies about how great the war effort was going and how they would surely win. Steve wished he actually knew what was going on. When he had agreed to be experimented on and receive the super serum he had thought he would be doing actual fighting, not dancing and singing on stage like a monkey.
The man Steve had been talking to was finally ushered away so that the line could continue moving. Now in his place stood a beautiful young african american girl with curly, caramel colored hair, but what really caught his attention were the girl's eyes. They were golden. He was sure it wasn't just the light. Her eyes were actually the color of gold. Standing behind the girl was obviously the girl's mother.
This time Steve didn't have to fake his smile. "Hello there. What's your name?" The girl giggled nervously and looked to her mother for support. The woman gave a small smile and motioned her to go on.
"My name is Hazel, sir. Could you sign my poster?" Said poster looked like it had been torn from a window. Steve looked closely at it and recognized it has one of the many posters that had him on it shouting to buy war bonds.
"I would love to." He signed it as Captain America and handed it back to the little girl. She grinned liked it was Christmas.
Steve didn't know why but he felt he should give her more advice before he moved on to the next person in line. "Remember that no matter what, if you are brave, you can make it through anything." Hazel nodded at that, her golden eyes flashed with hidden wisdom. It made Steve almost uncomfortable. She grabbed her mother's hand and skipped away, clutching her poster tightly.
Steve made sure to remember her features. He wanted to see if he was up to the challenge of accurately sketching her features later. Sadly It would be awhile before Steve would be able to get away from his adoring fans to draw.
