Returning from his own world has been disorienting. So much happened, not the least of which is his re-transformation from Captain America to plain and simple (and short) Steven G. Rogers. He still owns the Clubhouse, though, and there's always going to be work to be done there. The kids have kept it up reasonably well in his absence, but the groceries needed restocking and some deep-cleaning and repairs have proven necessary.

There are a lot of modern treatments available for the ailments that have returned. He's not worried about pernicious anemia now, and far less concerned about asthma. The scoliosis and flat feet are a little bit of a problem still, alas, and after an hour of dusting under things and toting laundry, he's aching.

The weather is still warm, and so he sprawls on the front stoop of the Clubhouse, legs extended so he can stick his bare feet in the grass; he slouches against the wall and closes his eyes, but he's not so out of it that he won't notice someone passing close by.
