Summary: James ate the cookies. He's now really a bb!Cap.
The Story:

14th: James is dragging around the shield and looking for certain people: Natasha (Mommy), Steve (Daddy) or one of his uncles. The shield is actually really heavy for a three year old, so sometimes, he drops it some place to go explore about something, but he always goes back to it. He does end up using it as a sled down the stairs.

15th: James has slipped his minders! And he's all over the place. The kid's a monkey. He's climbing the shelves in the library, dragging a chair to climb on so he can get at the Christmas decorations. He especially loves the brightly colored ball decorations hanging from the greenery.

16th: SNOW! HE LOVES SNOW! Let's go play in the snow.

There doesn't seem to be any harm in letting James give it a shot, unless for some reason the closet decides to play a prank on them. But Steve will be right there, so after a moment he nods.

"She was right about that. It really does work that way, you'll see."

Steve locates a room and steps inside, closes the door behind them and then stoops down to let James stand on his own.

He nods toward the closet. "Go ahead, give it a shot."

James grins and bounces over in front of the closet and wishes really hard. Because he knows how to wish. He wishes every night for Mommy and Daddy to be safe. He wishes for his Aunts and Uncles to be safe. It's really easy to wish!

Except, there's a thump in the closet and James blinks. He rushes forward, opening the door. Wedged in the doorway precariously is an absolutely huge sled that could probably fit all the Avengers, including the Hulk.

"I did it!" He grins brightly at his Daddy. "Look Daddy!"

It's really no surprise that James gets it right on the first try. He's got a strong will, from what Steve has seen, and children are particularly good at wishing.

What he's not expecting is for the result to be so monumental. The sled is large enough that it could crush James under its weight if it fell on him. Steve rushes forward, but not with enough urgency that he might startle James, and reaches out to pick up the sled and balance it on one shoulder.

"Looks like we're set," he tells James. "We can head outside now. Do you want to lead the way?" Steve's hoping that James is old enough to at least have the kind of coordination needed to go down a flight of stairs without falling on his face.

The closet also provided a coat and hat and gloves, which James also needs because he doesn't know where Mommy put his other ones. He snatches those up and puts them on before bouncing out of the room.

"Do you need help carrying it?" James asks, heading down the stairs. He can walk down all by himself. But he wants to help with the sled too.

At least James is aware of how he needs to stay warm in this chilly weather, and he bundles up without complaint. Steve's starting to realize that he would have been a good kid to raise, excitable and well-behaved, and he feels a strange kind of guilt that the other version of him died instead of being there.

It's not his fault, obviously, but maybe he can make up for it a little now.

"I've got it, don't worry," he says in response to James' question. Honestly, he's not even sure how they would share the weight, with the height difference, but even a sled of this size is nothing to Steve.
