[ Well, Steve wasn't wrong about that. But now he wouldn't mind Steve asking as much. Maybe he'd have a tough time talking about some things, but that was just because he was so used to keeping everything to himself, it was difficult to know how to be or act any other way. ]

Huh. [ An eyebrow rose. ] And you just survived frozen in ice for nearly seventy years?

[ That got the gears in his head turning. Because his next question was already related to this, in a way. He had noticed how unusually strong Steve was, after all, how he managed to heal faster than an average human, and to withstand much more damage too. He also had superior senses, and... well, he was huge. It was impossible not to think about why that might be. ]

Are you an Augment? [ He paused, realizing that the word might be unfamiliar to Steve. ] A genetically engineered human. We have those, in my reality. Is that what you are?
