Captain America felt a bit strange.
This shouldn't be happening.
He wasn't that kind of person.
Nick Fury could be dark and intimidating, but he shouldn't be saying these things to him directly.
Captain America furrowed his brow as he stared at the screen.
On the screen—
Early morning, in the park.
Veteran Sam Wilson, dressed in a white shirt, jogged through the park.
This had become his hobby after retirement.
Before the sun had fully risen, he was the only person in the park.
Sam enjoyed the fresh morning air—it made him feel calm and peaceful.
But even today, that peace was about to be disrupted.
As Sam ran along the lakeside at his usual pace, a faint whistling sound came from behind.
Captain America's figure suddenly shot past him on his left.
Captain America: "On your left!"
The scene shifted.
Underneath some pillars, Sam kept running at his own pace.
Suddenly, the faint whistling returned.
Captain America: "On your left!"
The voice barely fell before Captain America had sprinted ahead of him again.
Sam: "Ah, left, got it."
The footage cut once more.
On the grass, Sam picked up his pace, sensing something strange.
The man running so fast behind him would do it again—over and over.
Captain America's footsteps passed him on the left again.
Sam grew anxious.
Sam: "Stop it! Stop it already!"
Captain America: "On your left!"
Sam groaned.
Looking ahead at the man, he mentally labeled him a maniac.
Why? Because the muscular man in the gray shirt had already passed him on the left three times in a row!
He hadn't even finished his own run, yet this man had already lapped him multiple times.
Exhausted, Sam collapsed under a tree, gasping for air.
Captain America (concerned): "Do you need a doctor?"
Sam smiled as the man approached.
Sam: "I think I need a new set of lungs. Dude, you've run almost thirteen miles in half an hour!"
Captain America: "If you sleep in, you better get running. By the way, you look like a soldier. Which unit are you from?"
As he spoke, Captain America reached out his hand, pretending to help Sam up.
Sam: "58th Airborne Rescue Division. I now work in veteran services. My name is Sam Wilson."
Captain America: "Steve Rogers."
Sam: "I could guess. After being thawed and returning home, were you shocked by the world today, Captain? What's this era like?"
Captain America: "Oh, the internet era is amazing. I've watched a lot of animation recently. Like The Dwarves' Retreat and Bellbard's Gate. I also have a movie I haven't finished yet."
Sam's interest piqued.
Sam: "What's it called? I want to check it out too."
Captain America nodded, pulling his phone from his pocket and holding it to Sam's ear.
Captain America: "It's an environmental-themed film. Seems to be called… Liberating the Negroes."
Back at the lake.
Sam chased Captain America, but the super-soldier easily pulled ahead.
Sam: "Hey! Stop! Captain America! Damn it!"
Captain America: "Go home and pick cotton~~~"
Back at the military camp.
Captain America: !??
Agent Carter: !??
Howard Stark: !??
Bucky: !??
Bucky (angry): "Steve, why do you talk so crudely in the future?"
Bucky: "Seriously, where's your manners? Why are you insulting Black people in that video?"
Agent Carter nodded in agreement.
Captain America stared carefully at the screen.
Captain America: "Wait, something's wrong!"
"The lip movements don't match the voice!"
"My God, this video can't be real!"
Howard stepped forward to inspect.
Howard: "Yes, everyone, look. Steve's last line—'Go home and pick cotton'—is clearly reused from a previous clip. This has been edited!"
Captain America's face turned red with anger.
Captain America: "Alright, you little screen brat. We haven't seen each other for so long, and you dare to do this to me?!"
"If you keep this up, I'll sue you for defamation!"
Captain America: "I'm serious—defamation!!!"
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Thanks to technological advances, and to appease public opinion, S.H.I.E.L.D. staff often participated in online video review. Anyone could instantly recognize characters like Rumlow, Hawkeye, and Black Widow.
Black Widow (smirking): "I didn't expect the intro to pass inspection. Even fake videos can be convincing. Interesting."
Director Nick Fury sighed in relief.
Fury: "Phew… thank goodness it's fake."
Hearing Captain America's crude line, he shuddered, feeling an ancient sense of alarm run through him. He took a careful sip of beer from the table. The joke had gone too far.
The screen displayed:
[Visible to all.]
[The previous video was entirely created by internet users.]
[This screen bears no responsibility.]
[I reiterate this point.]
[The previous video is unrelated to this screen.]
[Next, the correct video will be played.]
Back at the lake.
Sam ran at his own pace.
Captain America had already lapped him at least twice.
This time, Captain America approached from behind.
Sam: "Good morning, Captain!"
Captain America: "Don't try to get near me, idiot!"
Sam: "Hey!"
Captain America sprinted past on his left.
Captain America: "Go home and pick cotton~~~"
Sam: "Stop! Stop! Damn it!"
