A/N: To those who guessed Tron Legacy as the movie Steve picked out, you were right. ^^

"I'm getting kinda worried about Cap." Clint admitted as he lazily spun around on the chair in the lab.
"Honestly, I am too." Tony admitted. "He's choosing things he doesn't normally like and he still doesn't remember anything since the accident."
"Not to mention that he's still the only one who knows what the fake Hydra is up to." Natasha added. "If anything, that needs to be the first thing he remembers."
"Can't promise that." Bruce said. "Remembering Hydra's plans isn't something that we can force Steve into remembering. There's no guarantee that he will remember unless something triggers his memories."
"What if we made a documentary about Captain America and showed it to him but we made sure that all scenes are of Cap with his helmet on?" Clint suggested.
"That's not a bad idea." Tony said. "My old man has a lot of films about Steve in their glory days. I could put something together."
"If every scene of Steve is of him with his helmet on, then I guess we could show it to him." Bruce said. "Actually, have something that mentions Johann Schmidt. I'm sure something like that should trigger something within Steve's mind."
"Seeing his biggest enemy should do something." Natasha said.
"Let's just hope that it doesn't send him into shock." Tony said. "I'll get started on the film."
"We'll go distract Steve." Bruce said.

"Stop smiling!" Clint snapped.
"I'm not doing anything." Steve replied with a large smirk on his face.
"You're winning! Stop rubbing it in!"
"I'm not rubbing it in." Steve insisted.
"I didn't know that your tatical brilliance would apply to checkers!" Clint exclaimed.
"He isn't moving the back row." Bruce stated as he walked by.
"Whatever. Brilliant mind is a brilliant mind." Clint said as he studied the game board before him but saw no possible way for him to win. "That's it. I give."
Steve lightly chuckled as Clint left the table and moved over to the sofa where he then proceeded to flip through the channels.
Bruce smirked at Clint and then watched as Steve put away the game Clint had surrendered. He was sure that Steve had already forgotten that he was informed that he's Captain America but he would need to make sure of that theory before Tony arrived with the documentary.
"So, Steve, brush up on any of your army background?" the doctor asked.
"A little on the missions I have been on." Steve answered. "Just the ones that have happened in the past two years."
"Notice all of the good you've done as a captain?" Clint asked.
"I noticed that I've been to a lot of places." Steve answered.
"Read about your favorite weapon?" Clint asked hoping the soldier would say his shield.
"Weapon?"
He forgot. Bruce thought to himself. It'll make looking at the documentary a little easier but getting his memories back a little harder. Maybe seeing a film about himself, his friends and the very man who was his evil counterpart will do something.
The captain sat on the couch opposite of Clint and grabbed a sports magazine.
Well, at least he still likes baseball. Bruce thought. That's still a positive sign. We really need to take him to a game soon.
"Hey guys!" Tony announced as he walked into the room. "I've got a movie for us to watch. Clint, popcorn. Bruce, drinks."
"What movie is it?" Steve asked as Clint and Bruce went to gather the snacks.
"History documentary." Tony answered as he loaded the DVD player and turned the tv on.
"History?" Steve repeated.
"It's a good one." Tony insisted as the other men returned and they sat down as the movie started.
The screen right away showed a familiar looking shield behind held by a man in a patriotic uniform.
"During dark times, this man, Captain America, is single handedly giving hope to the proud American citizens against the evil tyranny of Hitler and Hydra..."
Hydra...Hydra...
Steve lightly shook his head and continued watching the movie.
"The evil Hydra has been rumored to be working alongside Hitler and his army. Rumors have been floating around since the beginning of the war that Hitler and Hydra have been planning to conquer Europe together before moving onto America. But the allied forces and Captain America are standing in their way and pushing back their plans. America's golden soldier is fighting alongside our boys. He's fighting the frontlines and making sure that our boys are coming home to their families and loved ones..."
"From what I understand you're America's new hope."
"You don't give up, do you?"
Steve put a hand to his head as he felt a small headache form.
"You alright, Steve?" Bruce asked.
"Fine." Steve answered. "But I think I'm hearing voices."
"Voices?" Tony repeated. "Like what?"
"One of them was asking why I don't give up easily and another was saying that I'm 'American's new hope'. Whatever that means."
Clint, Bruce and Tony looked at each other with knowing looks. Steve had remembered words from conversations he had with Peggy Carter and Red Skull.
"Don't worry about it." Tony said playing casual. "I hear voices all of the time. Although it's mostly Pepper just telling me to go to the meetings."
Steve weakly smirked and turned back to the documentary as it showed a group of men walking along side the patriotic soldier.
"...Howling Commando's. Captain America's hand picked team of men that help him in locating the Hydra weapon factories..."
"I thought you were dead."
"I thought you were smaller."
"What happened to you?"
"I joined the Army."
Steve's eyes focused on a young man displayed on the screen. He looked so familiar. Like Steve had known him for a long time.
As the dark haired man smiled, Steve felt a name came to him.
"Bucky?"
