"Not even close." He turned and pointed southward, toward fifth avenue. "When I was a teenager, the Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world. Some said it was<em>too</em>tall. Nobody ever thought the record could be safely beaten. Now you can't even<em>see</em>it, and we're barely a block away."<br/><br/>Steve crossed his arms and fixed his gaze on the horizon. In a lot of ways, New York was the same Big Apple he'd grown up in. In more ways, it was far different, and there wasn't really anybody that could ever really appreciate just<em>how much</em>that was so unless he visited a retirement home. How was he supposed to explain how weird it was to see the prevalence of Italian food, or women in pants, or the utter domination of the technological market by the Japanese?<br/><br/>He'd done his research—this stuff all happened dozens of years ago. Not even the<em>parents</em>of the adults he knew would understand how strange it was to see blacks and whites sharing water fountains, or children cussing on the street—in front of their own mothers, no less!—or the "anti-vaccination movement. If<em>he'd</em>had access to vaccines as a kid, he would have avoided<em>years</em>of illnesses!<br/><br/>Steve didn't have any<em>problems</em>with the changes, but this New York—this<em>America</em>felt just as strange as some alternate universe. He felt like a stranger in his own city. The more he read on Civil Rights, scientific advancements and the open and the more progressive roles his namesake country had undertaken, the prouder he was of what America had become. But what part did<em>he</em>have in any of it?<br/><br/>What was the role of a tiger among lions?<br/><br/>"But I've come to grips with it," Steve finished. "It's a strange feeling, but everything else about our lives is strange, so it must even out somewhere." He turned back to Black Widow and offered her a more friendly smile. "If Clint's about to do the old William Tell routine, we should probably get back inside. You know how much he loves an audience."
