"Loki called me the man out of time," Steve said softly. "I don't always want to be here, but I don't want to go back, either. I'm just so...tired. I'm tired of feeling stupid, and pitied, and deliberately misunderstood. And I'm furious that after all the sacrifices we made in the war, Hydra infiltrated everything and the world's an even bigger mess than it was 70 years ago."

He cleared his throat, trying not to just bawl all over Tony. "And I wouldn't let you send me back without you. You're the only thing that makes sense in the last five years."
