Steve didn't understand.

If the people who lived in this house knew who was here, they'd empty their larders themselves. Everybody knew that the Soldier was to be obeyed, and if the weapon of HYDRA showed up then someone was about to die. Although they might not have recognised him like this, out of his combat clothing and without a mask.

Steve would begin to notice the real differences as they hit their first major city in America. There were flags, but none of what used to be the stars and stripes. This was the flag of the HYDRA nation. Two silhouettes standing side on, facing each other, making the HYDRA salute, they stood either side of the HYDRA emblem, the odd octopus skull creature. And in the top right corner of the flag, the Nazi swastika, as a remembrance of how they had formed.

Road signs and building names were in both English and German, and the gleam of camera lenses was everywhere. Technology, cell phones and transport and a million other things besides were everywhere, as people bustled about their lives. Occasionally stopping and saluting to one another.
