[ Even after spending a few solid years catching up on history, politics and pop culture, it's hard for Steve to forget a lot of the things he'd grown up with.

It's something most people find difficult to let go of anyway.

Guess I should preemptively apologize in case we ever run into each other and I mistake you for him.
[ At this point, Rogers is pretty protective over Trevor and he's got a high opinion of him. They're running partners and they see each other almost every morning; that kind of bond isn't easily breakable at this point.
But - yeah. Given the possibility of face-twins, Steve's not sure what he'd think. It can't be as terrible as having a literal alternate version of yourself existing, however. He's not looking forward to the day he meets another nearly identical Steve Rogers. ]
Sure. I'll take you up on that and extend the same courtesy to you. If you're ever in Olympia, come find me. For a drink or coffee.

[ Who Jim has already met, and is happy to leave behind. Fuck off, mirrorverse. ]
Look me up if you're ever in Wyver, we'll get a beer or something.
