Now that the threat with HYDRA was over Steve had really gotten all he could've asked for.  He got his son and best friend back*...he got his life back.  Soon, he was instated as the leader of the Next Avengers or as Tony put it "the honorary old guy".  Mostly he lead behind the scenes but anytime the team needed assistance he was there.  "On that day they became the Next Avengers".

*that's Bucky not Tony...they WERE friends (heh "so was I," Sorry I'm evil)

Steven groaned as two bullies held his arms and another socked him in the mouth. He strained to break free from the 5th graders' grip.
"Gil you're being yellow." he stated as the bully's arm went back to swing again. "You really want a fight then you guys can TRY too" he spit at Jonny, the boy holding his left arm. Steve tried not to scream out when Gil bloodied his face once again.
"Drop 'im" he ordered, and the other boys threw Steve to the ground. Though he knew that the straining against those boys earlier had weakened him and his breathing was going to get bad in a little bit, he jumped up like a wild man, trying to fight all of them at once. A few minutes later, they were still fighting. Steve looked terrible, and he was wheezing loudly. The other boys looked about half as bad as him, but he wouldn't give up. Another fifth grader with short, neat, brown hair passed the alley and saw the fight. Gil, Jonny, and some other kid he didn't recognize were beating up a small 3rd grader. He knew he was a 3rd grader because he had seen him walking to school a few days ago. His ma had told him not to get in anymore fights, but he felt terrible for the boy who was now leaning against the brick wall in the corner of the alley, wiping his bloody nose and slowly getting back up. He dropped his books and walked in the alley.
