   Summary

   Two years after a rogue turncoat agent tears HYDRA apart, exposing SHIELD's existence to the public and nearly bringing the agency down in a hurricane of scandal, SHIELD scientists find Captain America in the ice and revive him.

   Wanting Captain America's endorsement, SHIELD appoints Steve as Captain of their specialized HYDRA-hunting unit, STRIKE Team Alpha. Which would be great except that STRIKE Alpha is in disarray due to one member being said former HYDRA turncoat agent, a highly uncooperative and incommunicative... super soldier?

   Eager to connect with the one person this century who might be like him in more ways than one, Steve attempts to bring the Soldier more fully onboard the team. But aside from his two year revenge stint, the Winter Soldier is still fresh out of 70 years of captivity with HYDRA, crazier than a bucket of bats trying to imitate human behavior (in fact a bucket of bats might have slightly more success), and full of secrets whose existence he won't even begin to acknowledge. He also refuses to so much as take his goggles off around anyone from SHIELD. Not even during *brunch.* As Steve gets closer to the Soldier, he starts putting together the pieces of a very worrying puzzle.
