[ Nothing about this feels right. There is something wrong, so very wrong, but Steve can't quite put a finger on what that could possibly be. It doesn't occur to him that this might all be in his head.
Under normal circumstances, Steve would grip his weapon, would stand tall in the face of danger and accept whatever fate he is apparently owed. But these are not normal circumstances. This world is anything but normal, and although Steve has a little bit of magic at his fingertips his mind is to garbled to even think to call upon any of it, even if it's to protect him.
In the end, he shields himself physically, using his arms to cover his face and braces himself for whatever attack is coming. When it doesn't come, when all that is left is a voice in his head taunting him, he thinks for a brief moment of running. Could he really run, though? Even if he escaped whatever it is that's hunting him, trying to kill him, he'd still be stuck here, they all would until that damn orb is found. He needs to get his shit together and press on, but that taunting voice won't let him. ]
Shit. [ He reaches for his greataxe and slowly, cautiously, rises to his feet. ] If you're gonna try and kill me then get it fucking over with.
