Visiting Hours (open)
Well, at least they were letting him sit up today.  His parents had stepped out for coffee, which left Steve watching TV.

"Junk."

Click.

"More junk."

Click.

"Junk again."

Click.

"Okay Buddies, Hero-Up!"

"Terrifying ...And yet I can't look away."

"Beats me, man," Steve said. "Wish I had more advice for ya."

"Yeah, well... I wish you did too."

He pauses, clearing his throat, not quite sure what to say.

"Well... this is awkward." He reaches up to scratch his nose.

Wait... nose?

OH SWEET CHRISTMAS, NOSE!

The mask reappears, Jack clutching his face nervously. "Oh no! You saw my secret identity!"

"Oh... well, yeah, I guess you wouldn't." He manages to calm back down.

Hesitating for a moment, he takes a breath and relaxes, changing into street clothes.

"So... what's getting shot feel like? I've only been hit a lot and stabbed before." A pause. "And hit by a truck, but that was pretty much a glancing blow."

"Yeah," Steve said. "I don't really remember much, between getting shot and waking up later. Probably a good thing."

"My girlfriend, usually," Steve said. "Sorry. Joke. I work on my car, practice my archery, movies, that kind of thing."

"...I don't get it."

His eyes widen slightly.

"You have time for that much stuff besides crime-fighting?"

"...Sure?" Steve said, surprised. "Gotta have a life outside the suit, dude."

"Why?"

Right on cue, another fuzzy feeling as he starts questioning that internally.

Okay, now that was... odd.

"Because, dude. You spent too much time in the mask, there's no you left."

"But... but..." His head hurts now.

But I AM the mask.

Steve tried to sit up some more, wincing in pain in the process.

"Dude. You okay?"

"I think I'll be okay..." He still holds his head.

"Just.. never thought about not being a crimefighter all the time."

He rubs his temples, the mask slipping out of sight again.

"Who do I talk to about brainwashing?"

"Doc Samson, probably," Steve said. "He's the Avengers go to guy for psych stuff."

Or maybe the X-Men, but Steve wasn't going to spill secrets that weren't his to spill.

"Doc Samson..." he says it to commit it to memory. "I'll look into that."

Something else occurs to him.

"Uh.. please don't think I'm crazy. I don't want you to think you invited a crazy person to come by sometime."

"Hey," Steve said, "in this line of work? You have to be a little crazy."

He took on a more serious tone. "Seriously, dude? I don't think you're crazy. Might need some help, but you're not crazy."

"Thank you. That... that means a lot." Jack replies.

He gets up, clearing his throat. "You need anything to eat or drink? Sorry if I've bothered you too much if you're supposed to be resting or whatever."

"Soda?" Steve asked, and then shook his head. "Nah, 's fine. I sleep way too many hours of the day right now. Conversation keeps the mind sharp."

"Yes, soda. I can get that." He turns on his heels and heads for the door, catching a hand on the doorframe to stop himself as he realizes something.

"Where exactly would I get that in here?"

"Uh..." Steve said, then realized he was blanking for giving directions.

"Don't worry about it. It can wait."
