Scanners indicate you require a hug.

Oh. Well, I mean.

[Do not argue with the kind robot lady, Steve. She sounds as pleasant if not more then Miss Siri. He'll shut his little notebook and tuck it away before approaching.]

Thanks, then. I guess I've been a bit out of sorts lately.

Do not worry then. I am here for you.

[ She spreads her arms out. Here, let Mom-bot give you that hug. ]

[For a human, hugging Steve sure does feel like hugging a tank. Dude is pretty solid.]

Whoever designed you is a very kind person.

[Robot hugs are strangely comforting! Steve learned something new today.

Do you uh...enjoy it? Helping folks out? I mean I'd assume you would have been programmed to but. To be honest I'm a bit old fashioned in the ways of technology.

[ It's remarkably similar to the time she forced a hug upon Jack Morrison... She wonders if perhaps this man has also been through the S.E.P. Soldier Enhancement Program. He also looks remarkable like the archived photos of 76 when he was younger... Strange! Does Jack have a secret son maybe?! ]

Yes, Efi is very kind.

[ Mention of her creator is enough to distract her from the conspiracy theory budding in her processors. ]

She built me to be a protector, but allowed me to choose my path. I have chosen to defend the innocent, and help those in pain and trouble.

[She wouldn't be that far off the mark. Steve would probably get along well with Morrison, too.]

That's very thoughtful of her. I've always thought that if you're going to design a robot smarter than most folk, you should also give them the freedom to choose. I'm glad you're able to follow your own path.

[Her job description makes Steve grin though.]

I'll probably be seeing a lot of you around then. I'm in the same business.

That would be wonderful!

[ She doesn't have a mouth but she seems to smile nonetheless. ]

I would love to team up someday. I am still very new at this, and I would love to see a 'pro' in action.

I don't know that I'd call myself a 'Pro' necessarily.

[She's making Captain America blush with embarrassment, here.]

I'm just bad at standing back when I see something wrong that needs dealing with.
