A name I've made on my own, huh? [He pauses, before sitting back up, looking down at the star etched in red on his chest. At the gauntlet on his wrist, the shield he knows can be projected with the push of a button.] ... I... don't really know about that.
[After all, Captain America is the mantle he was raised to take on. The name, the look, and everything that comes with it has been hammered into his head every day since he was a toddler. It's all he was ever supposed to be.
He's never even stopped to think about how life could have been if Ultron didn't happen. What he might have wanted to do, if he wasn't raised to be the next Captain America.
In the end, it's easier to respond to Edward's woes than think more about his own.]
I didn't really mean as a pirate. [He glances back towards the camera, a strangely calm resolve in his expression.] My world's been almost completely destroyed. America is pretty much a wasteland with just a few safe zones. Even if we had history books, so much of that has been lost. But my siblings and I -- the Avengers -- we're the kinds of things that humanity is going to write about. The sons and daughter of the world's dead heroes defeating Ultron and rebuilding the world is something they're going to make a record of.
And if they're going to make a record of me, no matter what I say or do about it, I want them to know the names of the people who mean something to me.
