[Avengers] Assembling the Team

[Centurion]

Cap took a moment before responding to Offic- Judy. beneath his cowl, his brows were knitted with concentration. Barely a day in this new world and he had already lost grip of an Avenger. Blink's departure was far from unexpected, but it was sudden. he had hoped he would have more time to convince her that she could be of help. More than anything, Captain America blamed himself.

Blink likely would have stayed behind had he been a better leader. Vision would never have been injured were Cap more attentive and knowledgeable. He gripped his shield-straps tightly, knuckles whitening under his leather padded gloves. His first victory in this Omniverse and he felt like a failure.

A quick glance down to the rabbit beside him and her beaming demeanor lightened his heavy heart. Regardless of being down a member, this new team of heroes would have no problems overcoming the enemies before them. He had complete confidence in his team, from the Vision, to Hopps, even to Jordan, despite his infatuation with that gauntlet.

He smiled gently, if a bit sadly, at Judy and nodded. "No, you're not an officer anymore Judy. Now..." Cap refocused on the hallway ahead, his mind going back to the any heres he had called comrade back home. "Now you're one of us. Now you're an Avenger."
