[Sometimes Steve tried to pretend to be normal, like he wasn't a freak product of a failed science experiment, but it never seemed to last long. Something always burst the illusion. In this case, it was himself.
Well, it was a version of him, from before the serum apparently. There'd been one in the hotel very briefly before, long enough to almost have a real conversation, but then he'd been gone again. Honestly, that was probably for the best; his old self was completely unsuited to a place like a hell hotel even on a good day. Which was probably why the poor guy was slumped against a wall with a heartrate through the roof and incredibly labored breathing. Steve touched his chest without realizing it, remembering the terrifying feeling of being unable to breathe perfectly.]
[Steve hurried over and dropped down on his knees next to the man, not entirely certain how to help. He didn't have meds for the asthma or the racing heart, and he wasn't even sure whether Steve would let him try and help to start with. He hadn't been particularly receptive to strangers butting in when he was having issues back in the day. Then again . . .]
Hey. Are you alright? Is there something I can do?
stand your ground
