[ Alright then. 5 seconds. Not quite the goal, but probably a new record anyway. ]

No one's saying otherwise, man.

[ Sam knows his own capabilities. No need for a pissing contest. Beisdes, he's made for different things - like dodging the blast and spinning through a different cloud. ]

Hey, speaking of though... not one of yours, but name of John Walker ring any bells for you by any chance? Three Medals of Honor, led RS One missions...?

[scarcastically]

[ erik's brow furrows. ]

The blow-hard? Yeah, I remember him. And his runnin' buddy, Lemar.

[ he drums his fingers on the table. ]

Couple of distinctions. He'd make an easy climb, but nothing that would catch people's eye. A safe bet.

[unclesam]

[ Sam finishes his drink, pours himself another and holds the bottle towards Erik, brow going up in question. ]

So I didn't pick up the shield initially. Put it in a museum, actually. Figured it was time to lay the symbol to rest. Day later, they announce John Walker as Captain America. Suit, posters, press junket, all ready day after.

[ You made the right choice.

Shaking his hand while having fitted Walker probably weeks before, ready for whenever Sam finally loosened his grip on the shield. What a joke. ]

[scarcastically]

[ erik pushes his glass for a refill as he runs the logistics of that. walker's career is notable in the right places and that's not nothing. he looks a poster boy too and he doesn't ask questions. ]

That tracks. Considerin' the stuff you said. We do like our propaganda in the US of A.

[unclesam]

[ Sam pours Erik his refill, humming a sound of agreement. ]

Guy practically pranced through an international mission like a cop.

[ And Sam's not without sympathy. He knows how the military complex grinds up its weapons. Walker's a product of the government - he's just also several levels of unpleasant on his own beyond that. ]

Got himself beat up by the Dora Milaje.

[scarcastically]

[ hm. erik remembered that from before. still it makes no sense for the dora to interfere. not unless the sovereignty was challenged or walker did something incredibly dumb.

but walker shouldn't know all that much about wakanda to even come close. sam and bucky, however, do have ties to wakanda. which means the dora weren't there for walker. they were there for them.

so erik does what he does best. throws a grenade out into the dark. ]

And you didn't?
