#i think he misses being that kid #misses the hope and the strength of his belief #i honestly think he wouldn’t care if the serum went away #not any more (via magesmagesmages)
This part is so powerful because of all the doubt Steve is suffering from at this moment — he doesn’t know who to trust, he doesn’t want to be a super soldier anymore, heck, he doesn’t want to be a Soldier anymore. He wants out so desperately, but he doesn’t have a purpose outside of soldiering. And now he’s back at Camp Lehigh, following a mystery signal that’s connected with the death of Nick Fury. He’s about to find out that HYDRA grew from inside SHIELD, that his death meant nothing, that Bucky’s death meant nothing, that the SHIELD that Howard and Peggy built meant nothing. And here he sees his younger self — the one so driven with a sense of purpose that he lied to the US government in order to try to become a soldier. And pre-serum, those days at the camp must have been hell for his body. But he wanted to be a soldier so badly, just as he now wants to STOP being a soldier.
But he can’t figure out who he is if not a soldier. He’s forgotten pre-serum Steve.
