Humans are unstoppable...Until they aren’t.

I’m not the most eloquent writer, but I’ve had this idea kicking around for a while and figured I’d put it out into the universe.

A lot of the basis for the “humans are space orcs” stuff is the idea that we’re pretty durable compared to many species, yeah? When it comes to physical trauma, we can bounce back from most things that don’t kill us outright, especially given the benefit of hypothetical space-age technology, and adrenaline is one heck of a drug when it comes to functioning under stress. 

But that doesn’t make us unkillable, and even though we can survive debilitating injuries and not die from shock, it doesn’t mean it’s fun. Dying of shock sucks, but at least it’s probably quick.

So - Imagine a ship, adrift in space, slowly being drawn into a star or something. In order to save the ship, someone has to repair the hyper-quantum-relay-majig on the hull or in the engine or whatever. Bit of a problem though- there’s a ton of deadly, deadly radiation (Wrath of Khan style) or poisonous fumes or, I dunno, electrical current, between the crew and the repair. Like, enough to kill most species instantly, so the crew is just like, ‘welp, guess we’ll die then’. But then.

BUT THEN

They ask the human. Because everyone’s heard the stories - you’re basically unkillable, right? Could you survive long enough in there to fix it? And their human goes real quiet for a second, but still says ‘Yeah, I could fix it’. And the rest of the crew is like, ‘Whaaaaaa, it won’t kill you?’ and the human repeats “I can fix it” (which isn’t an answer, but no one catches that, not yet at least), so they send ‘em in. And the human fixes it, they come back, the ship flies to safety, and the crew is thrilled to survive. If the human is a little quiet, well, they’re entitled after pulling off a miracle. Everyone else is just excited to get to the nearest station’s bar to tell their very own human story, cuz, ‘those crazy humans, amiright?’.

The good mood keeps up until the human is late for their next shift. At first it’s just faint unease, but- but they earned a bit of a lie-in, right? No reason to begrudge them some extra rest, even if it is a little weird for them to oversleep. They’ll be fine. Humans are always fine. 

(Right?)

(…Wrong.)

- What is… help. Help!-

- ake up! You have t-

- been days. You need sleep, you-

- nother transfusion. We could-

- out of sedatives!-

A week later, the crew finally reaches the station. They stumble into the bar, haggard and haunted. And over the next months and years a new rumor about humans starts to make its way through space. A rumor unlike any before.

‘Be careful with your humans’ it whispers. ‘Their strength is not always a blessing. Be sure they don’t do something they can’t come back from, because when a human dies… they die slowly.’

I go nuts when people suggest that Steve Rogers wouldn’t know how to use a tablet or a computer. People show him slamming his face into a smartphone as though he doesn’t have fingers or some shit. Like. The man is fucking brilliant. He’s a strategist, knows a million languages, worked to break into Hydra bases with his wits not just slamming a shield into things, and y’all think he’d pick up a tablet and be like “HOW DOES THIS WORK YOUNG ONES?!”

no.

Steve Rogers would be left alone with the tablet for a bit. He’d spend some time poking, scrolling, slowly getting the hang of how it works. He’d need a minute to figure out what buttons do and such. And then he’d realize how to bring up the keyboard, how sensitive it is and how careful he has to be. He’d learn how to download apps, where they are, how to open them. He’d learn WHAT apps do what, how to sort them, etc.

Soon, I guarantee you, Steve would have a fully customized tablet with his apps in order of use and a program he found on how to store and lock complicated password keychains. 

Steve *chooses* to use that notepad he has and write since he likes doing art, but I’m telling you, Steve probably uses tech better than people give him credit for and I’m not here to shame Steve Rogers for that.
