We were alone, together, for a long time--When I made the Mansion the Avengers headquarters, I invited everyone to stay, but he was the only one that really took me up on that at first, so it was just us, and I wanted to badly to help him fall in love with the future. I would hear him get up, every night, and he'd be out looking for Bucky, like if he called his name enough he would be there, downtown New York, a hundred years later. So, I would get him up in the morning, tell him, 'Today we're learning about modern music', and I'd have a hall booked and Coldplay would already be setting up, and I guess we got used to it. The museums.

Anyway, so--sorry, I think I knew that, about the Lilies. Not about Monet, like I said, he wouldn't talk much--but I knew he liked it, we always went back. Maybe I'll give the Met another chance. Why that one?

The Met? 'Cause it's got so much of everything. And it's so peaceful to just sit down in front of all the statues, or the temple, surrounded by the moat, and just, think. Tune out the city. That's how I feel about the Lilies.

When you're there, they're so big that you can't help but feel small, like you're just a- bird, or something, on Monet's window, looking out at the gardens.

Guess I kinda wish we'd both stayed. And maybe I could've shown him the Lilies. I think... after New York, we both needed a break.

That's a lot to work through, you and I have very different experiences of the Met, nine times out of ten I'm there because some wizard has brought the marble to life, it's always there, and I wouldn't call the overall impression peaceful, but--That's what you want, to feel small and quiet?

Well, what can I say? It reminds me of a simpler time.
