Summary:
The West Coast Avengers are back in action, revived by Tony and Rhodey! This time, though, they're going for something a bit different - rehabilitating former villains! Their most controversial recruit? A splinter of Ultron who genuinely wants to be good.
It's... not going well. The Kobik and Hydra-created Captain America, now going by the name Flag-Smasher, is running around causing havoc, and one of Ultron's counterparts isn't doing him any favors with the superhero community by starting a creepy religious cult and preying on LA's unhoused population.
When Tony calls in asking Steve for a favor right after Sharon breaks it off with him for the final time, he gladly flies out west to support Tony in his efforts to do something they both agree on.
Steve keeps his feelings on all of it buried in journals and notebooks - always has, always will. When his new journal goes missing, what began as a supportive visit quickly spirals into confronting years and years of buried feelings threatening to boil over.
