"Is there any chance that he remembered the plan he tried to stop during the war?" Clint asked.

"It is possible." Bruce answered. "He remembers the same plane with the same bombs."

"Did he say anything that might clerify the difference between what he saw in the forties to what he saw now?" Natasha asked.

"If he were able to remember more details to the current plan he saw, then we would know if this new Hydra might be trying to repeat what Schmidt started." the doctor answered.

"Think we might be able to help him remember anything?" Tony asked.

"It could be possible. There is something I think might help." Bruce said.

"So, how is this suppose to help?" Steve asked as he laid along the couch with Bruce sitting on a footstool next to him.

"This is going to be like hypnosis. But instead of making you believe you're a chicken or something, we're going to try to regather your memories before you lost them. See if you can remember any parts of your childhood, adultlife and such."

Clint turned off the lights and Natasha shut the heavy curtains. Thor had lit a few candles he had brought from Asgard. He claimed they had medicinal properties and believed they might help with this little session.

"Just close your eyes and relax." Bruce instructed.

Steve did as he was instructed. He tried to keep his mind clear as he felt his body relax.

"Just focus on my voice." he heard Bruce say softly. "Just focus on me and nothing else."

Steve took deep, calm breaths as he focused on the sound of Bruce's voice.

"Just relax."

Tony dared to wave a hand in front of Steve's face. Usually, the soldier would have grabbed him by the wrist but Steve remained motionless.

"It's working?" he asked with a surprised tone.

"Looks like." Clint replied.

Natasha hushed the two so Bruce could continue.

"Ok, Steve. Think back to your childhood. What were you like as a kid?" the doctor asked softly.

Steve was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Sick." he muttered.

"Sick how?" Bruce asked, hoping to get Steve to give exact information of how his health had been.

"Skinny...a'thma...weak..."

"Accurate so far. Except for the weak part." Clint said.

"Steve, what was your mother's name?" Bruce asked.

Steve's eyes squeezed shut a little, as if he was forcing himself to remember.

"Sarah." he answered.

"And your father?"

"Joseph."

"It's working better than I thought." Bruce said. "Steve, how old were you when you were picked to be Captain America?"

"Twe...twen...twenty three."

"Good. Now, try to think of recent events. Today is the eighteenth. What day did you go to the hidden factory to investigate the Hydra rumors?"

"It was...on a Monday." he answered.

"Close enough." Tony said.

"Now Steve, this part is really important. What did you see inside the factory? What were the plans and were they the real Hydra?"

The five noticed his hands began to shake a little and his breathing quickened a bit.

"Steve?" Bruce questioned. "What is it?"

"The...the plan..."

"What is it, Steve?" Clint asked. "What is their plan?"

"Bombs...Bombs...City...Not again..."

Steve began to shake a little. Thor quickly moved over to hold the captain down.

"Steve. Steve, wake up." Bruce ordered and clapped his hands once.

Steve gasped as his eyes opened. He stilled under Thor's hold until he could calm himself.

"What happened?" he asked and was allowed to sit up.

"Steve, can you recall anything that just happened right now? Or the past month?"

"I...I remember." Steve declared as he stood. "I remember everything."

"Prove it. Who was my dad?" Tony asked.

"Howard Stark. Just as show offy as you and he helped make me a super soldier back in '42." Steve answered easily.

"He remembers!" Tony and Clint exclaimed.

"Steve, the Hydra plan. What was their plan? You said something about it not happening again." Bruce asked.

"Their plan is to try to finish what Schmidt did." Steve answered. "They somehow made the same bombs he did. Same size, same power, same destinations. They want to start another war!"

"Oh, boy." Tony sighed heavily. "We can't let this happen!"
