so, if...

another question, this one more plot related (plot of the fic, not canon)

if steve were to come back now, right at this point in canon, what do you think would happen? (aside from the assumed
slashiness :)

If Steve were to come back right now, he'd probably end up confronting and dealing with the following:
  • The SHRA, which is still in effect.
  • The split in the Avengers between Mighty and New.
  • Norman Osborn's power grab.
  • Bucky taking on the mantle of Captain America
  • S.H.I.E.L.D. The president said SHIELD "is no longer viable. It has been compromised and is being shut down." However, SHIELD isn't an American organization; it's a multi-nation organization, chartered by and reporting to the United Nations. The other member nations of the UN might keep SHIELD operating without active American involvement.
  • Sharon Carter's brainwashing, pregnancy and miscarriage.
  • Clint Barton's return from the dead.
  • Thor's ditto.
  • Tony.
I assume that the first person he'd contact is Sam Wilson, since Sam is a close friend and a trusted ally, and isn't (currently) in hiding.

Cap also might try reaching out to super-heroes of other nations. Someone should; one result of the Skrull invasion ought to be the recognition that sometimes it's necessary to organize an efficient planetary defense.

Don't forget Jan's death -- she's one of Steve's oldest friends, after all.
