Arts & Crafts, Tuesday Afternoon, Main Campfire

As the campers arrived, they would find a tall, athletic blond man in a polo shirt and khakis presiding over picnic tables covered with crafting supplies.

"Good afternoon, everyone," Steve began. "I'm Mr. Rogers--no, not that Mr. Rogers, the other Mr. Rogers--and I'll be in charge of this workshop. We're going to have a lot of fun I hope.

"So, to get started, this week we're going to make gremlins." Steve was oblivious to any horrified twitching this comment might have engendered among his students. He was really new at this. "All the necessary supplies and instruction sheets are already on the table, so...get to it. You can work together if you want to, but please remember the glue and paint are for your projects, not each other. I'll be right over here ~~out of the line of fire~~ if you need any help or have any questions."

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"Be sure to punch air holes in the gremlin's jar?" Steve read off his instruction sheet. "What the hell?"

Put Teddy in the boggling category. "Cap?"

Were all the Young Avengers on this island? And possibly more importantly, were they all going to cry at him? Steve sighed and turned to face Teddy.

"Let's maybe not call me that here?" he suggested. "I'm on leave, after all."

Teddy was not going to cry. He wasn't the one who cried whenever the d-word got mentioned. Or if Tony Stark didn't talk to him, in fact he was happy that Mr. Stark never talked to him.

"Leave?" He opened and shut his mouth a few times. "You're- You're not the same Cap as I know, are you?"

"No, son, probably not," Steve said apologetically. "The Teddy Altman I know is in New York, for one thing ~~or he was when I got shot~~."

((Now from the right journal! *facepalm*))

[[ooc: I dunno, Zero as Captain America? I'd by that comic!]]

"Of course." Teddy looked down. "Sorry about that. I forget how weird this place can get sometimes."

((So would I. In a heartbeat.))

"That's all right. No harm done," Steve told him. "Listen, I'm a little busted up right now and I've never done this teaching thing before. I could probably use some help. Do you want to be my ~~sidekick~~ assistant?"

Teddy perked up. "Really?" And wow did that ever sound overeager.

"I mean, sure. If you wanted."

This was so freaking cool! He was going to ~~be the new Bucky~~ help out Captain America!

"Yes, really," Steve said with a smile. "Also, I don't know if you're in contact with him, but as far as Tony Stark goes, you never saw me."

Teddy's face darkened at the mention of Tony Stark. "Not a problem, trust me."

Of course, he wasn't the only one around... He looked over at Cassie quickly. "I'll talk to Cassie about not letting Mr. Stark know about you."

Steve looked relieved. "Could you? She ran out of the room crying the last time I saw her--something about my not being dead really upset her. ~~Also, you can't be Bucky. There can be only one Bucky. You can be Sam.~~"

"Yeah, Cassie's been ~~overly dramatic~~ ~~insanely emo~~ ~~hitting on robots like it's going out of style~~ like that since she got here."

"Yes, I don't remember her bursting into tears at the drop of a hat," Steve agreed. "But I suppose it's a stressful time for everyone. And your school blew up."

After class, Josh wandered by the campfire to check on his "buddy."

Though he'd never, ever call him that.

"Um, Steve?" he asked. "I'm Josh Lyman and wanted to check to make sure you're settling in okay...you teach arts and crafts?"

Steve rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Well, art. Arts & Crafts while summer camp is still on, anyway." Then he remembered his manners and offered his hand to Josh. "Nice to meet you."

"A pleasure," Josh said, shaking hands. "I'm teaching the workshop on dealing with stupid people right now, and government during the school year. So it's essentially the same thing."

Steve chuckled. "Yeah, that sounds about right from my experience," he said wryly.

"Well, I used to be an important guy back home with the government," Josh said with a grin. "So I know of what I speak."

"Yes, I've, uh." Steve wondered how to phrase this. "Had my own dealings with them."

Josh looked interested. "Really? Were you a consultant or something?"

"No, military." Also, symbolical.

"Nice!" Josh said, grinning. "I know the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He's a great guy."

"If you say so," Steve said. "Maybe ours is a different guy."

"Tall, black guy, goes by Fitzwallace?" Josh checked.

"No, sorry. Don't know him," Steve said with a shrug.
