Well, hello, everyone! If you’ve been keeping up with this series for a while, the title might have surprised you. If it didn’t, you’re either new or you might need a refresher. Either way, I suggest you check out some past episodes here. But Fury’s trail mix is all gone, right? Well…
Steve blinked groggily. He felt like he’d been asleep, like his brain was fuzzy. He was staring down at an almost burt-out fire ,the sun just coming over the horizon. How long have I been out of it?
Everything came flooding back. The memories from after Bucky knocked him out were mixed up and vague. He remembered Thor finding him and offering him food… Thor. He left.
Steve frowned up at the sky. That had been early in the day, the day before. Thor should’ve been back. His spine tingled. What had happened to him?
There was a pail of water sitting next to him, and he used cupped hands to drink some of it. He glanced around, looking for a sign that the Asgardian had come back. He spotted something shiny a few yards away.
Steve stood up and scanned the area carefully. He could only hope it wasn’t a trap. He crept toward it, listening, looking, searching. Finally, he reached it and knelt down.
A frown made its way across his face, and he picked up the object. It was a small package of trail mix.
Steve’s mind whirled. There was no way Thor could have gotten it. Could Bucky have put it there? But where would he have gotten it?
And should he eat it?
He studied the package. It clearly hadn’t been opened. His mind ran through possibilities. Repackaging, resealing, radiation… but none of those were practical. He carefully tore open the package and studied the trail mix. Nothing. He wished he had some of Stark’s fancy scanning equipment.
He took the trail mix back over to the dying fire and began to munch on it. It was overly salty, but it tasted absolutely delicious to him.
And as he munched, an idea began to grow in his mind.
Like to get (virtual) trail mix, comment to eat it with Steve.
I thought Fury was out of trail mix?
I mean, it’s obviously Red Skull or Bucky who left it there as a sort of “We have Nick Fury, come and get him” taunt, except it didn’t quite work because Steve doesn’t even know Fury is ALIVE.

And he also doesn’t know that Fury had trail mix, either. 😛 But maybe it wasn’t a taunt… Cuz it would’ve been empty, then.

Yes . . . true. I was assuming that Bucky and Red Skull would assume Steve knew Fury had trail mix, just as they assumed he knew Fury was alive.
So . . . someone’s trying to keep him alive? Because that’s what I got out of that.
