"I thought he was gonna wake up like that." there was a snapping of fingers following the somewhat nasal woman's voice.

"Five years in cryo and you think he's going to be up to doing jumping jacks?" A second woman's voice asked, a little bit snark a little bit scorn. There was something strange about the woman's voice. He couldn't put his finger on it but Steve had heard it before.  He just couldn't recall where.

"Not like he hasn't done it before." The first woman replied.

"Open your eyes Steve. You aren't fooling me."  That voice Steve knew.

"Jan!" Steve exclaimed and opened his eyes.  Happy to see that his friend and fellow Avenger Janet Van Dyne was standing at the foot of his bed and smiling happily at him. A look to the left showed a blonde woman with her hair up in two pigtail with a lab coat over a red and black top. He had no idea who that was.  A look to the right showed a white haired, six armed woman in a blue jumpsuit.  Spiral, the woman had once been a part of Freedom Force and then occassionally a supervillian in the employ of the extra-dimensional pest Mojo. He'd crossed sowrds with her more than once, literally, as the woman used several swords as her weapon of choice. A look back to the foot of his bed found his friend waiting for him to look at her again.

"Welcome back Steve."  Jan looked to the blonde and Spiral, "Okay, Dr. Quinzel, Spiral, I can take it from here."

"Awwww, c'mon!" Dr. Quinzel whined and threw her hands up in the air, "You need me here! When you tell Captain Beefcake what's what you are going to need me here!"

"Harley." Jan sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.  She then pointed to the exit behind her.  "Please?"

"What is what?" Steve asked sitting up in the bed he looked at his friend.

"Ooooooh, lookit, Captain Beefcake is sitting up." Dr. Quinzel quickly stepped to Steve's side and leaned in oogling his body. "That Sooper Stud juice is good stuff."

"Harley!" Jan grabbed Dr. Quinzel and forced her away from Steve, "No touching."

"But I wanna touch." Harley whimpered and pouted. 

"Captain." Spiral intoned from his right, drawing his attention. "What do you recall of the calamity? The Manbreaker Virus?"

Steve frowned and paused to ponder. Only to blanch in horror as he regan to remember.  "Oh god... How bad... How bad was it?"

"Yes." Spiral nodded her head.  She tilted her head in obvious thought for a second and the said, "The death toll was severe. It has been five years since you went into cryostasis. It is only now safe to release you." Spiral looked Steve over, "In order for the human race to reach a safe population level it is imperative to begin breeding viable males, of which you are one."

"What?" Steve asked in alarm leaning away from the white haired six armed woman. "I... What?"

"Sprial!" Jan shouted from hwere she was trying to drag Dr. Quinzel out of the room. Letting go of the woman she stepped to the vacant left side of Steve's bed and put an hand on his arm. He turned to look at her and when his blue eyes landed on her Jan bowed her head, "I'm sorry Steve. I really truly am."  Jan sighed, "But Spiral is telling the truth."

"Blunt like a bat to the head, that one." Dr. Quinzel chimed in from where she was now standing at the foot of Steve's bed.

Steve gaped at the blond and then turned to look at Jan, "Breeding?"

"You signed up to serve your country in dubya dubya two, right?" Dr. Quinzel asked. "Well, now we need you to service your country." Dr. Quinzel grunted and thrust her hips forward to illustrate her point. 

"Jan." Steve used his warning tone of voice, he looked at the blonde in pigtails and then to his fellow Avenger.

"Out! Out, out, out!" Jan glared at the two women in in the room with her.  She walked to Dr. Quinzel and gave her a shove, "Five minutes, Harley... all you had to do was be professional for five minutes."

"Bye-byyyyyeeeee." Harley called out as she was shove out the door.

Shutting the door and leaning back against it Jan shook her head and looked back at her friend on the bed.  "Sorry about that. She's... well, Harley is Harley."

"She craves male attention." Spiral added.

Steve shook his head, "I don't..." He waved his hand. "Whatever."  He looked at Jan, "Explain, exactly, how bad things are."
