Rogers lets out a little - thankfully quiet - burst of laughter that he definitely doesn't mean the way it sounded (although to be honest, it probably sounded just the tiniest bit hysterical. He's very stressed, but aren't they all). "Yeah," he says, wishing for the three thousandth time he could touch Winter, but keeping his hands to himself as he sits down next to him instead, shoulders not brushing, maybe an inch or two between them just so they won't, accidentally. But still close enough, he hopes, to offer comfort. "Yeah, it's a weird feeling. Feeling too big."

At least for him, the pain had been temporary. It had felt like forever, but there had also been a very clear cutoff.

"You'll feel better in a minute," he says, though of course, this is nothing like the procedure he went through and he has no actual idea if that's true. But still, "Your brain just needs to catch up, probably."

At least Winter is the same size he started out as. So maybe it will take only a minute.
