“You always were.”
–
I always remember that Steve was the first one to pick DJ up, the first human to human contact that DJ had, because Tony was still in a state of “WTF WHY IS THAT HERE DON’T TOUCH IT IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS OH GOD WHAT DO I DO HERE?” and Steve’s immediate response was, ‘crying kid = pick him up.’
I think DJ remembers that. That in that moment of fear and uncertainty, when he didn’t know who he was and he was absolutely getting assaulted with sensory information that he had no way to process, Steve picked him up and wrapped him in a blanket and held him until he stopped crying.
