“Wait here,” the doctor says, exiting swiftly.

“Is there a problem?” Steve asks, confused.

“Excuse me?” Steve replies, startled.

“Dr. Abraham Erskine. I represent the Strategic Scientific Reserve,” Erskine says, offering a handshake.

“Steve Rogers,” Steve answers, shaking his hand. “Where are you from?”

“Queens. 73rd Street and Utopia Parkway. Before that, Germany,” Erskine says with a faint smile.
