An Undisclosed Location, Wednesday [Fandom Time]

"Who did the recon?" Steve asked as he took the folder from Fury. Fury just stared at him. "Oh."

"Yeah."

"Where is he?"

"He said he'd snap my neck like a toothpick if I told you, and honestly, I believe him."

"Is he...all right?"

"As all right as he gets."

"Does he still want to die?"

"Not as much."

"Good. That's...good. Lukin?"

"We're working on it," Fury said grimly. "Got a little distracted. You know."

Steve nodded, knowing that was all he was getting. "And you're sure no one will find me at this place?"

"Yeah, it's..." Fury waved one hand around vaguely. "Damned strange. Barnes said he talked to a squirrel while he was there."

"A squirrel."

"The squirrel was very helpful. You're going to run into some people who look familiar," he said as Steve flipped the folder open to a set of surveillance snapshots. "Near as we can tell, none of them are actually from this universe, though."

"Deadpool?"

"Teaches Driver's Ed."

Steve wondered if the class had a casualty rate. No, wait. He wondered if the class had a very high casualty rate. "Huh. School's pretty."

Fury rubbed at the back of his neck. "About that..."

"What?"

"Nothing. You'll find out when you get there. Heard you got cleared off the crutches."

"Yeah, earlier today. I'm limping, but," he shrugged. "What are you gonna do?" A week and a half out of a coma, and he was up and mobile. Sometimes the supersoldier serum was a wonder to see in action.

"Great. You'll be leaving Friday."
