Steve's heart was pounding as if he had run up all the flights of stairs instead of taken the elevator to the top to Lex Corp's building. When he had awoken on the floor of his apartment, he prepared himself for the worst. He could still hear the villain's voice in his mind.

[i]Sorry Captain America. But you're going to have to sit this one out.[/i]

Still he hoped against hope that his friends and fellow league members would just look at him as if he was crazy and everything would turn out to be a big misunderstanding. And for a honest moment when Thor spoke Steve truely thought that maybe he was just being paranoid. 

[quote=Thor][color=FFA500][b]"Is thy memory impaired, good Captain? Thou art advanced in years for one of thy kind, even the elderly of Asgard can lose their wits."[/b][/color][/quote]
Of course in any other situation Steve would have said that Thor was, what was the word again? It wasn't pulling his leg. That was an old idiom. It was... something about bridges. Ah yes. Trolling. Under any other circumstances Thor could have been trolling Steve. But he trusted the God to know when to play and when to be serious. And this situation called for seriousness.

Before Steve could open his mouth and elaborate on the situation the local radio began to speak. Scott was the first one to answer in the ensuing silence, shattering any hope that Steve was experiencing a paranoid delusion.

[quote=Scott]"[color=ed1c24]I’m going to be honest, was so boring and stoic, that I couldn’t even tell the difference.[/color]"[/quote]
Steve once again opened his mouth only to be derailed by Thor's booming voice. Even louder than usually because of his excitement or disgust at the news. It was sometimes hard to tell. Loud was loud.

[quote=Thor][color=FFA500][b]"A vile intruder, not less than ten feet away! Nay I say, this will not stand! Marshall thy diminutive forces, friend Ant-Man. We must make haste to end this menace. Beginning with thee, art thou the real Captain America or the very cause of this mischief?"[/b][/color][/quote]
Perhaps any other individual would have started with protests of their innocence. Wasting valuable time. He eyed the hammer, hands itching to grab his shield but he didn't move except to lift his hands in the universal 'I surrender' gesture. 

"[color=7ea7d8]The real one[/color]." Steve said and without giving them any more chances to speak, he continued on. "[color=7ea7d8]Thor, remember when I gave you a series of lessons on Midguard history? It was in exchange for you explaining the Norse Pantheon since I only knew the Catholic religion. It was going great until we hit the World War Two. Then we tried to find another Leaguer to catch us up on the last seventy years. I'm sure you remember how they all pretty much laughed at first then apologized when they realized I was serious?[/color]"

Steve didn't wait for Thor's confirmation before turningd his attention to Scott. "[color=7ea7d8]I once caught you cheating at poker with your ants. And I still believe you invited me to your daughter's birthday only to get back at me through swarms of little children.[/color]" Despite the seriousness of the situation Steve couldn't help the smile that forced it's way onto his face at the memory though it didn't last long. He lowered his hands confident that the matter was cleared up. "[color=7ea7d8]I don't know who this guy is, but I know he can look like anyone. That's how he got the jump on me. Just tell me where he went. Every second wasted is more time for him to get away.[/color]"
