"What? No, he's a -- I guess he's a man that shoots webs like a spider. And he's very agile. And mouthy." He laughs a little. "He fights with a lot of heart." But he's young, Steve wants to say, too young for this life.
But he follows instead, to Diana's car. "Well, this is a lot more inconspicuous. But I uh, I didn't bring a change of clothes," he admits.
"Well to be honest, I don't normally travel across worlds, ma'am," he responds, easily. "But things sure have been weird the last few years." In this timeline, he doesn't go back to spend his days with Peggy. Instead, he just realizes more that the world needs him to be Captain America, and that Peggy lived a full life without him.
Which is, coincidentally, how he winds up in Metropolis, or Gotham, or wherever this is.
Ma'am. It's sweet and reminiscent of her Steve. They're two different men,
of course, this one seems less carefree than her Steve.
"Then we'll need to take you on a proper tour of Gotham before you return
home. I'm sure Barry and Victor will have plenty of questions. More than
likely Bruce as well but I can keep them at bay so you can have a moment of
rest."
The sleek vehicle tears down a quieter road away from the crowd. They're
lucky that they could go about their lives as privately as they wished for
the most part. It isn't long before they leave the city limits and the
foreboding building that had once been Wayne Manor appears.
They are very different men, but her Steve is almost as old as this one's father, and he was born the same year that hers died. Not that she knows that, but she might've thought it a funny coincidence. Both, fine pilots who crashed their planes to save the world once.
"It's all right. I'm used to fielding questions back home," he says. "And I'm no stranger to reports. Before this, I was in the army. I'll happily integrate myself into your team for the time being, just let me know what I've gotta do."
"I think you'll fit in just fine," Diana chuckles softly. "The rest of the
team takes a little while to warm up. We had our own differences when we
first came together. But when it came to protecting the world, we were able
to work together."
She pulls into the underground garage, easily bypassing Bruce's security
systems and pulling into a space marked specifically for her.
"As it is, our team has a tendency to do our own things. Normally, I would
be in Paris. But Bruce had invited me to come to Gotham and enjoy the
sights for a little while."

In the safety of the car, she takes off onto the road with a roar of the engine.
"Do you normally travel across worlds with spare clothes?" she teases.
Diana can't help but feel the corner of her lip tick up in a small smile. If she knows Bruce, he would have kept some clothes at the Hall.
