A/N: This was an emotional chapter to write, but it’s one that I’m also very proud of! Thank you for reading, I hope you all enjoy!

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (Part V) June 2024 Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Washington D.C. (Previous Chapter)

The month after they successfully thwarted the Flag Smasher’s plans and Sam publicly took up the mantle of Captain America had been filled with several highs and lows. The Global Repatriation Council unanimously decided not to vote on the controversial Patch Act and began working on getting humanitarian aid to the refugees residing in resettlement camps, and they had already voted on providing financial support for those displaced after the events of the Snap; Karli Morgenthau died before she could see her aspirations finally realized, but Sam’s historic speech criticizing the members of the GRC ensured that her sacrifice wouldn’t be forgotten. The four Flag Smashers that had been arrested and taken into custody died in a mysterious car explosion and while both Sam and Bucky suspected Zemo of having a hand in their deaths, he was locked away in the Raft and their deaths were officially ruled an accident by the authorities.

Two days after the incident at the GRC’s New York Headquarters, Bucky came to stay with the Rogers-(Y/L/N) family at their home in Rockport, Maine. The super-soldier had apparently taken Sam’s advice on how to move on from his time as the Winter Soldier to heart, visiting his friend Yori and telling him that he was responsible for his son’s mysterious death; he gave the old man closure and as challenging as it was, he admitted through his tears that he knew he’d done the right thing. In Rockport, Bucky was as relaxed as he’d been in Delacroix and much to (Y/N)’s delight, he and Steve were able to reconnect and take the time to finally re-built their decades-long friendship away from any wars or conflicts. Bucky was beginning to heal and now that he was allowing himself to lean on others for support, he wouldn’t be alone on his journey to self-forgiveness.

While she recuperated from the handful of minor injuries she’d sustained in the fight against the Flag Smashers, (Y/N) worked tirelessly with her connections at the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum, the editors at the New York Times and Colonel Rhodes to create an exhibit chronicling the lives and sacrifices of Isaiah Bradley and the hundreds of Black soldiers who were illegally experimented on by the U.S. Army. It took several lengthy Zoom meetings, heated conference calls and a handful of visits to the Smithsonian to oversee the construction progress, but the exhibit was completed almost exactly one month after Sam Wilson made history by becoming the first Black Captain America. It was decided by (Y/N) and Sam that although the exhibit was finished, it wouldn’t open to the public until Isaiah himself had an opportunity to see what they’d built in his and his fellow servicemen’s honor.

“You’re gonna wear a hole straight through the floor if you keep pacin’ like that, doll. Just relax, maybe take a deep breath or two.”

(Y/N) shot an easy-going Bucky a withering look and continued pacing the new exhibit’s floor, the clicking of her high heels echoing through the near-empty space as she anxiously smoothed out the nonexistent wrinkles of her pencil skirt. “I’m currently filled with enough nervous energy to power an entire arc reactor, and I’m supposed to just relax and take a deep breath?”

The super-soldier let out a dramatic sigh and hitched Carina higher up on his hip. “Your ma gets a little crabby when she’s stressed out, doesn’t she, sugar?” The infant giggled when his vibranium fingers tickled the skin beneath her chin and he chuckled. From the moment he arrived at their home in Maine, Bucky and Carina had become nearly inseparable; he was good with children, having helped his parents care for each of his three younger siblings, and Carina absolutely adored having her Uncle Bucky around more.

“You should see her the night before a book release.” Steve adjusted the bill of his beaten-up Brooklyn Dodgers baseball cap, flashing her a mischievous smile while continuing. “Last time, she tossed and turned so much that she ended up accidentally rolling out of bed.” (Y/N) spared both men a displeased glare but allowed Steve to cross the small room and gently cup her cheek as his other hand rested on the curve of her waist; the reassuring gleam in her husband’s azure eyes helped to begin settling her frayed nerves and she felt her shoulders relax as he softly spoke to her. “I don’t know how Isaiah’s gonna react to all of this, but I promise that everything’s gonna be okay, sunshine.”

(Y/N) released a shaky breath and nodded, taking a moment to glance around the exhibit that so many people had tirelessly worked on so that Isaiah and his fellow servicemen’s history would never be forgotten. Projectors flashed black-and-white photographs of Isaiah’s platoon during their training and years of service during the Korean War and situated before a wall-sized image of America’s first Black super-soldiers standing at attention were two distinct items: a bronze statue of Isaiah Bradley, and a plaque dedicated to telling the truth of his life and what the Army had tried to keep buried for seventy years.

Isaiah Bradley

Isaiah Bradley is an American Hero whose name went unknown for too long.

Isaiah was one of a dozen African-American soldiers who were recruited against their will and without their consent for participation in human testing in pursuit of the super-soldier serum. Most did not survive. The few who lived through testing were sent on secret missions during the Korean War. During the conflict, against all odds, Isaiah Bradley rescued his fellow soldiers and 28 other POWS from behind enemy lines.

However, fearful of the ramifications of a Black super-soldier, some individuals within the government tried to erase Isaiah’s story from history. His family was issued a falsified death certificate and for decades, the truth of his unflinching bravery was buried.

The third and final paragraph etched onto the plaque detailed the thirty years of false imprisonment, experiments and downright torture Isaiah was subjected to by the Army and Hydra, and (Y/N) found herself looking away before the words she’d helped to pen could make her tear up; while dozens of people had been involved in the creation of the exhibit, only she and Sam knew that Isaiah was still alive and living in Baltimore. They wanted to protect his desire to live out the rest of his life in anonymity, which was why they arranged for Isaiah and his grandson Elijah to visit the exhibit before its scheduled unveiling. But for the past several weeks, (Y/N) was weighed down by fears that the elderly man wouldn’t approve of the exhibit or would be offended by its very existence, so she spent many sleepless nights ensuring that the story of Isaiah Bradley and his fellow servicemen would be told with all the respect and gravitas that it deserved.

“Guys, Sam just texted that they’re about to walk in.”

Bucky’s heads-up brought (Y/N) back to reality and caused a fresh spike of anxiety within her, but she masked her nervousness with a smile as Steve led her over to where Bucky stood off to the side. Seeing that Carina was beginning to fall asleep in the super-soldier’s arms, (Y/N) leaned down and pressed a soft kiss onto her daughter’s forehead and when she straightened up, she and Bucky shared an understanding look while Steve’s hand gave hers a brief but reassuring squeeze. All three of them stood at the back of the new exhibit and watched as Sam led the Bradley’s inside, and (Y/N) got her first look at the reclusive super-soldier.

Isaiah Bradley was the epitome of a super-soldier, with a muscular build carefully disguised by a windbreaker and jeans and the striking looks of a man decades younger; there was grief etched into every line and wrinkle and a fiery bitterness in his dark brown eyes, but the hardened emotions seemingly faded away the moment he got his first look at the exhibit. Isaiah’s jaw slackened and his gaze was transfixed on the statue bearing his likeness as he rested a shaking hand on his grandson’s shoulder; he spared Sam a brief look as Eli led him towards the plaque and when Sam gave him a nod, his hand slipped down to briefly grip Eli’s as he struggled to remain composed. The Bradley’s studied the statue in awe and when Eli moved to read the plaque chronicling his grandfather’s life, Isaiah stood behind him and held onto his shoulders, and (Y/N) bit her lip as they read the words she’d helped to pen.

Isaiah soon turned and slowly walked over to where Sam stood, his eyes beginning to water as his lower lip trembled. “Now, they’ll never forget what you did for this country.” Sam shook Isaiah’s outstretched hand and gave him another firm nod. “Never.” The older man finally gave in to the overwhelming onslaught of emotions, pulling Sam into a tight hug and shaking with barely-suppressed emotion. (Y/N) accepted the tissue that Bucky offered her and dabbed at her tear-filled eyes as Steve wrapped a comforting arm around her waist and pressed a chaste kiss onto her cheek, both men sniffling and covertly blinking away their own tears. After a long moment, both men separated and Sam waved (Y/N) over. “Isaiah, I’d like you to meet (Y/N) (Y/L/N). I know my best friend like the back of my hand and since she’s gonna start gettin’ all modest in a sec, I’ll tell you now that she’s the one who made this possible.”

“It was very much a group effort, and one that couldn’t have happened without Sam,” (Y/N) countered, playfully bumping her best friend’s arm with her shoulder and extended her hand out towards Isaiah. “It’s an honor to meet you, Mr. Bradley.”

Isaiah shook her hand and gave her an appraising look. “I saw you on the television tryin’ to save those GRC members. You’re an Avenger, aren’t you?”

“Part-time; I’m a historical-fiction novelist whenever I’m not helping save the world or keeping Sam here out of trouble.” The older man huffed out an amused chuckle and (Y/N) took it as a sign to continue. “Mr. Bradley, Sam and I worked with the Smithsonian to create this exhibit in order to educate the world about a part of history that our government’s tried to hide for decades, and I collaborated with the editors of the New York Times to write an article about you and your fellow servicemen that will hold the government accountable for their actions. However, we’ve made it so that the exhibit and the article will not go ahead without your say-so.”

Isaiah seemed a little taken aback by her words and possibly even touched, but he was quick to mask the sentiment behind an indifferent shrug. “Seems like they’re copin’ with a Black Captain America who’s quick to call ‘em out on national television, so why avoid a little more overdue accountability? But it’s like I already told Sam, Ms. (Y/L/N), Isaiah Bradley is dead and I’d prefer him to be left dead. After those thirty years locked away, I’m not willin’ to put a target on mine or my grandson’s back just ‘cause a Black man’s carryin’ that shield now.”

“I understand. According to the government – and in a week’s time, the rest of the world – Isaiah Bradley died in the 1980’s after thirty years of false imprisonment; Sam and I made it so that no one will ever find out that that nurse falsified your records and helped you escape.” The uncertain frown on Isaiah’s face slowly but surely vanished and (Y/N) felt her own smile return as she continued. “The only people who know that you’re still alive are all in this room: Sam, Bucky, myself and my husband.”

The older man followed (Y/N)’s gaze to where Bucky and Steve quietly stood, arching a brow at the sight of the infamous Winter Soldier rocking an infant to sleep in his arms but returning the super-soldier’s nod with one of his own. His eyes flicked over to the shorter of the two men and after a moment, both brows rose in surprise as a look of recognition crossed his weathered features. “Is that…?”

Sam tucked his hands into his pockets and answered Isaiah’s unspoken question with a nod as Steve slowly approached them. “You see, you’re not the first super-soldier we’ve worked to keep out of the public eye.”

Both (Y/N) and Sam stepped back to give Steve and Isaiah some privacy and as she wrapped an arm around her best friend’s elbow, (Y/N) watched their interaction with a soft smile on her face; there was a certain hesitancy about the way the two men walked up to each other, with deliberately slow steps and a studied gleam in their eyes, and despite the obvious differences in their appearances, it was clear that both men were kindred spirits. When Sam told her about his and Bucky’s mission to track down the Flag Smashers in Latvia, he mentioned how Zemo admitted that Steve was an exception to his personal beliefs about the corruptibility of super-soldiers because ‘there has never been another Steve Rogers’; but looking on as Isaiah shook Steve’s hand and listened to everything he had to say, (Y/N) couldn’t disagree with the Sokovian terrorist more. Isaiah is just as good a man as Steve, she thought as she and Sam exchanged a knowing look, only he was never given the same opportunity to show the world who he was.

“That’s one skinny guy.”

Sam shot Eli a reprimanding glare. “Yeah, you really need to learn some manners.”

“Hey, man, I’m just makin’ an observation,” Eli chuckled as he raised his hands in defense. “All those crazy theories online, and not one of ‘em even comes close to the truth. He really gave up bein’ Cap and went back to who he used to be, huh?”

(Y/N) smiled at the teenager’s curiosity peeking out from beneath the adolescent air of nonchalance. “That’s not exactly how he sees it. To him, he just decided to be Steve Rogers on a full-time basis and pass the shield onto the best person for the job.”

“The best and most annoying person,” Bucky added, joining their trio with a teasing grin on his face and carefully passing a fast-asleep Carina over to (Y/N) before lightly bumping Sam’s arm with his elbow. “But hey, I can personally attest that that’s practically a requirement for bein’ the Star-Spangled-Man-With-A-Plan.”

The four of them stood and quietly watched Steve and Isaiah talk to one another, and while (Y/N) rocked her sleeping daughter in her arms, she indulged in her inner amateur historian and took a moment to appreciate the history that only a small handful of people would ever have the opportunity to know of. The thought of that history being passed down through Eli, Aj, Cass and Carina put a smile on (Y/N)’s face, and she rested her head against her best friend’s shoulder as the lyrics of a familiar uplifting song came to mind:

I’m gonna keep rolling on, no matter what the world may do, ‘cause with a love like this, there’s nothing left to do. So, let me tell ya…Doesn’t matter what you say, I’m still, I’m still gonna float away for real. In a minute, ya’ll, I’ll be gone, right or wrong, I’ma just keep rolling on and on and on and on…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: And there we have it! I had an absolute blast getting into this series and in the future, I’ll definitely continue my re-tellings of various Phase 4/5 projects but for the next one-shot, I’ll be focusing on Steve and (Y/N)’s first date after the Battle of Sokovia! Thank you all so much for reading and commenting, and I hope that you enjoyed it!

Self-Insert Au Info:

The lil guy (hello thats me thats my character) calls themself Nen (the elven word for water) but that’s not their actual name

Nen is a half elf half halfling (elfling) and was originally 3’11 (they said they were four before..)

They were shrunk a week or so before the events of the Rockport Express arc. The train used to take defensive measures against those who tried to steal from the cargo car—a shrinking spell that was permanent unless undone by a staff member.

But Nen was quick. Once shrunk (whilst they had been trying to steal, being a kleptomaniac as theh were) they didn’t even take a second to take in their new situation. They sprung into action, hiding nearby and managing to escape from the staff members.

That was the last time the rockport express ever took those particular counteractive measures against thieves.

Though only a week ago, rumor of a shrunken thief remained throughout passengers and staff. Passengers were always warned.

It was Merle who suggested the murderer might be this mysterious tiny person—but the other two were quick to turn that theory down. How could someone so small do all this?

A point was brought up. This little mystery criminal could have been an accessory, or even a witness, to the crime. It was time to get some answers.

Merle sent his scuttle bug to watch for them. Taako left his ring of frost(y drinks) out on the bar and they waited…

And it worked! Merle gasped, and instantly the others knew. It was time. They were here.

Taako cast levitate on them the second he SLAMMED open the door, not giving them a chance to get away. They didnt scream, rogue instincts and all, but they writhed and tried desperately to get away.

Tres Horny Boys ™ come over to start questioning and are shocked by the little guy’s response… which is to beg for their life, offering a life of servitude in exchange

Taako took to the offer quickly — the boys never intended on harming them, but Taako argued that they did offer, and it wasn’t safe on this train anyhow.

Pocket Rogue acquired!

I’ll post some more about this au, little headcanons and story bits I’ve come up with, later if you guys would like me to! Ngl I’m already super anxious about posting self insert stuff… it feels illegal

Chapter 3 : The Rochesters

With every passing week, Y/N felt life was just the way she had wanted it to be dull but normal – calm and peaceful – and not tormenting. When Matt didn't push her to get into the university, she felt more than grateful for understanding what she was going through.

'Well, maybe next year. Or you can get enrolled on some courses during the Spring. They do that, don't they?'

And Rachael- she was much pleased to be relieved of the domestic duties. She was happy when she didn't have to return home from her tiring shifts at the hospital to work at home. They even spent her day off – Wednesday – either going grocery shopping or at the reservation.

Most of her afternoons were spent curled up on the couch or in her bed, reading e-books. When Uncle wasn't quite pleased with her friendship not extending beyond books or the Bartons, she found some tolerable companionship- more appropriately the companions found her. The latter was quite apt for towns that had just a few thousand people, where most of them knew anything and everything that happened in the neighbourhood.

Emily Harriet was the girl next door while Janet Wells lived quite on the other end of the town. Emily was in her senior year of high school; she was one of those shy girls that open up their wild side once they become comfortable with you. Janet, on the other hand, had just made it out of high school and was helping her mother in their convenience store. She and Mrs Wells were probably the greatest gossiping duo of – Rockport, Van Hoff reservation and Concrete combined. She enlightened Y/N with essential knowledge of the neighbourhood when they took walks along the forest trails on the rare fine, sunny mornings. At times she wanted to ask her about those mysterious strangers but felt it was stupid to pry into the lives of some nameless people.

It was nearly after six weeks after her arrival that strange events started occurring, implicitly foreshadowing the thrilling turn her life was about to take.

Like any other rainy Saturday night, she was setting the table for dinner and Rachael was cooking the steaks. Matt had stomped down the hall, leaving a wet trail behind. And when he came up to the table to eat, he looked as if he was about to throw up.

"Is something wrong uncle?"

"Yeah, you look sick dad."

He let out a sigh in response.

"Y/N. You and Janet should no longer go anywhere near the forest."

It wasn't until they were cleaning the dishes that Matt told them about two missing hikers.

"The boys were missing since last week. We told the family that they might have just lied about the hiking trip and had probably left home because kids do that when they have a row. We had thoroughly searched the area and no bodies or any campfire or tent was found anywhere near the trail or camping grounds. We searched the river after we found their truck abandoned near the highway. And today, a bunch of high school drugers, found their bodies inside the cave near the nuclear plant."

Disgust was spread across his face when he spoke the last part of the sentence. He further continued:

"Their bodies were badly mutilated. Completely ripped apart. Scalp torn, claw marks and bite marks. Consumed."

"So was it a wolf or a bear?" Racheal was worried. Could this be from any one of those packs? But Nat had been clear whenever they held meetings. No one was allowed to hunt in their area. And no mistake of being spotted.

"Don't know."

"Must be the black bear. There aren't any wolves around here, are they?" Rachael concluded.

He shrugged his shoulders.

"But this wasn't the first one." He remarked.

"A Saxon farmer was found dead in a similar animal attack. It was two weeks ago. So be careful around the trails. Better not to venture deep."

"Okay. I won't." Y/N promised.

Y/N rocked herself on the chair that was lying in one corner on the open terrace of the cottage. Not much of an effort was necessary to make changes to their Sunday routine. The attacks had all the townspeople on their toes. And hence their crash site changed overnight from their usual spot in the forest to Janet's grandmother's cottage.

The afternoon was nice and warm, and so was her mind. Lily, Emily's visiting cousin, sitting at the threshold, was leaning against the doorframe. Her hazel eyes and auburn hair reminded Y/N of the boy that sat next to her in the English classes, in her early days of high school. He had a hard time making her converse but after a month he realised that she wasn't worth it and gave up trying to win over her.

Ambry lay sprawled across the wooden floor, on the other end of the terrace, while Emily pillowed his chest. Colin and Janet sat on the stairs with their backs cushioned against the railings. Colin adjusted the guitar on his lap and strummed it once. He adjusted the tension on one or two strings and strummed it again. This time it sounded about perfect. His fingers plucked the right chords and soft music filled the atmosphere.

If fine afternoons were to be described, then this scene would depict it to the utmost perfection.

Y/N opened her eyes as the humming of tyres intruded the peaceful ambience. Her eyes met the sight of them. They were a jeep, which sped along the road in front of the cottage.

"Who are they?" she asked, no one in particular.

Ambry had drifted into a nap and Colin was too lost in his music to be distracted. Emily, knowing that whomever Y/N was asking about, would have left by the time she got up and inspected, didn't bother to move. Lily opened her eyes only to find the vehicle out of her view. Janet, shot up her head, in the direction of the road and recognized the strangers.

"They are the Rochesters." She answered.

When Y/N gave her a quizzical look, Janet continued:

"Behind the wheels, the big one was Thordon Rochester; the woman beside her was his wife Jane Foster; the tall brunette girl was Wanda and the short one was Morgan. And the bronze head was Peter. They are all adopted children of Mr and Mrs Rochester."

"Umm...Isn't there another blond man with them?"

By now Colin had stopped playing and Ambry had finished his nap.

"No, there wasn't anyone blond over there," Janet answered confused about who had missed. She could miss any face but not one which was a Rochester. The odd family had charted the gossip for over a year.

"She must be talking about Paul DeVis Rochester," Emily said.

"Oh. Yeah. Well, you see these aren't the only ones in the family." Janet said.

"Girls, enlighten the newbie with your case study of the Rochesters." Ambry huffed. He wasn't fond of the way every girl in their school swooned over Peter. To him, he was just a guy whose father could afford as many plastic surgeries as needed to make him look the way he did. Maybe he didn't need to afford it, after all, that uncle of theirs would have done for them. But Janet had got the push she needed to babble her heart out.

"Well... the Rochesters moved in here just two years ago from Nome, Alaska. Mr and Mrs Rochester moved in first, they came down to look into the completion of the nuclear plant near Darrington. The rest of them came six months later."

Lily groaned.

"Enough of their arrival tales."

"Okay... Let's start with Mr Anthony Rochester the director of the nuclear plant. Then there is Mrs Virginia Pepper Rochester. She is the sweetest and friendliest among all. Their biological daughter, I say biological because the rest of them are adopted, is Morgan Rochester. She is the youngest. Then there is Peter, a year older than Morgan. Ne-"

"They both are gorgeous but don't waste time over them. Nobody in the town is good-looking enough for them." Emily interjected.

"Next is Wanda Rochester. The eldest. I don't know whether it is legal or ethical, but she is kind of together with Mr Rochester's distant cousin Paul DeVis Rochester." Janet said with a jealous scoff.

"Then there is Donald Thordon Blake. He is simply ripped. The reason behind many high-school girls taking gym classes. It's a good thing that he is married, else we would have lost count of the scandals that would have been committed. I'm not sure, but I have heard from mom that hr grew up as a foster child in the Rochester family. He was a nephew or something to Anthony's mother. So they are kind of brothers. Jane Foster, as I have said earlier, is his wife. Finally, there is Dr Stephen Rochester. Your sister must have definitely told you about him."

"Isn't she working in the hospital as a nurse?" Lily questioned her.

Y/N shook her head firmly. Nearly all of their mouths fell open.

Everyone talked about him. They still talk about him.

"She does," Y/N confirmed.

"Then how...?" Janet trailed off.

"Rachael was already with Jade by the time Dr. Rochester arrived," Ambry remarked.

"And Anne told you," Janet said, disbelievingly.

"Nah... She was ranting about the Doctor to mother. I had overheard saying that only Rachael was one who could work around him without making any stupid mistake. None can hold themselves together and he bites their head off every time yet they're infatuated with him."

"Guys... I'm still in the dark," Y/N complained.

"Umm... If Donald is ripped then Dr. Rochester is captivating. The fact that he isn't married just makes him more alluring. You should see the doctor."

TW // Injury, drugs

Oz came into the world silent as the grave - so quiet that his parents thought something was wrong with him. A middle child of five, Oz was the odd one out - he was just a little different. His siblings were loud and outgoing, and Oz was a quieter instigator.

His parents just thought he was socially awkward and didn’t ‘get it’. But Oz did- he was incredibly intelligent, quick as a whip. Perhaps he didn’t prefer to start the conversation - but he knew how to end it. He seemed to just prefer a little bit of anarchy- but his smarts were never in question. He studied multiple sciences at an Advanced level in high school and majoring in bio-chem in college, going on to get his graduate degree as well. Through it all, he had supportive parents, siblings who cheered him on and went about their lives, and an occasional distant friend or roommate.

And yet, Oz found himself craving something more adventurous. It started with little ways he could get a thrill. He looked so upright, so perfectly unassuming. The quiet little man never seemed like a threat, which was perfect for getting into trouble. While working at a national lab in New York, he found himself pocketing important chemicals and extra medication - skimming materials off the top when he could. Machines break all the time after all, and the labs always had so much money to replace just about anything… he could sell them, see how much he could get away with.

Eventually Oz was getting in with the wrong crowd. And being a criminal didn't pay in the end. His clean, quick, and silent dealing still didn't work out- and though he never got caught by the police, he was caught by someone worse - a rival organization.

Oz was nearly killed. Suffering a lumbar spinal cord injury, Oz was stuck in the hospital for months. He had lost the use of his legs at first, and required intense rehabilitation to even walk with forearm crutches or push himself in a wheelchair. But more importantly to Oz, he didn’t feel that he could continue his old job. His hands unsteady and his body having gone through a traumatic event, Oz decided to hang up his coat of crime and move away from the shitty, dark work he'd been doing for so long.

After moving to Ashmore a few years ago, he took on a new role. His apathetic and gravelly voice seemed perfect for radio, and as a sarcastic host for a combination music-and-advice station, Oz fit in perfectly. He misses a lot about his old job- the thrill and the adrenaline rush. But he also feels guilt for the shit he's done in the past.

Discovering Your VO2 Max: Why It Matters and Where to Test Near You

What is VO2 Max?

VO2 max, or maximal oxygen uptake, is the maximum rate at which your body can consume oxygen during intense exercise. It’s widely considered one of the best indicators of cardiovascular endurance and aerobic fitness. Essentially, the higher your VO2 max, the more oxygen your body can use, which means your muscles can work harder for longer periods without fatigue.

VO2 max is typically measured in milliliters of oxygen consumed per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). VO2 max near me Athletes, especially runners, cyclists, and swimmers, often strive to improve their VO2 max because it’s directly correlated with their ability to perform at peak levels.

Why is VO2 Max Important?

There are several reasons why knowing your VO2 max is crucial:

Performance Indicator: VO2 max helps you understand your current fitness level. If you’re training for an event, such as a marathon or triathlon, knowing your VO2 max can guide your training plan and set realistic performance goals.

Personalized Training: Once you know your VO2 max, you can tailor your workouts to enhance your aerobic capacity. Training within specific heart rate zones based on your VO2 max can significantly improve your endurance and overall performance.

Health Benefits: VO2 max isn’t just for athletes. It’s also an excellent indicator of cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that people with higher VO2 max levels tend to have lower risks of heart disease, hypertension, and even certain types of cancer.

There are a few ways to measure VO2 max, ranging from simple estimates to precise laboratory testing:

Field Tests: Some simple tests, such as the Cooper 12-minute run test or the Rockport walking test, can give you a rough estimate of your VO2 max. These tests use formulas based on your heart rate, age, and performance to provide a general idea of your aerobic fitness.

Wearable Devices: Some advanced fitness trackers, like the Garmin or Polar watches, estimate VO2 max using heart rate data and other physiological factors. While not as accurate as lab tests, these devices provide useful insights into your fitness trends.

Laboratory Testing: The most accurate way to measure VO2 max is through a laboratory test. In these tests, you’ll run or cycle at increasing intensity levels while wearing a mask that measures the oxygen you breathe in and the carbon dioxide you exhale.

Joshua Turner

Joshua Hare Turner, the seasoned fisherman and dedicated boat captain, has spent his life navigating the waters of both literal and metaphorical seas. Born on June 12, 1965, in the coastal town of Rockport, Massachusetts, his life has been defined by the ebb and flow of the ocean, and the challenges and triumphs that come with it. This is the story of a man who found his calling on the water, built a life around it, and became a respected figure in the maritime world. Growing up in a coastal community, Joshua was exposed to the ocean's allure from a young age. He spent his childhood by the shore, fishing with his father, learning the ways of the sea, and hearing tales of adventurous voyages. His father, Samuel Turner, was a respected fisherman, and it was under his tutelage that Joshua honed his maritime skills. These formative years instilled in him a deep love and respect for the ocean, its creatures, and the age-old art of fishing. Setting Sail: At the age of 18, Joshua set out on his own, buying his first small fishing boat, the "Seafarer." With a heart full of dreams and a head full of practical knowledge, he began his career as a commercial fisherman. The early years were tough, filled with long and grueling days, but his determination and unwavering commitment to his craft began to pay off. Over the years, Joshua's reputation as a skilled and reliable fisherman grew. He was not only an expert angler but also a captain who understood the nuances of the sea. In 1995, he acquired a larger vessel, the "Ocean Wanderer," and with it, he expanded his fishing operations. Joshua became known as a captain who put the safety and well-being of his crew above all else. He was renowned for his knowledge of the ocean's currents, its unpredictable moods, and the best spots for fishing. Joshua Hare Turner didn't just fish for profit; he also recognized the importance of responsible and sustainable fishing practices. He actively engaged in conservation efforts, advocating for the protection of marine ecosystems and responsible fishing techniques. His commitment to preserving the ocean's delicate balance earned him recognition as an environmental steward and a voice for sustainable practices in the fishing industry. Beyond his contributions to the fishing industry, Joshua was deeply invested in his community. He sponsored local events, contributed to charities supporting fishermen in need, and even provided internships for aspiring young fishermen. He believed in passing on the knowledge and love for the sea to the next generation. In 1990, Joshua married his childhood sweetheart, Emily, and together they raised two children, Benjamin and Lily. Despite the demands of his fishing career, Joshua always made time for his family, instilling in them the same love for the ocean that had defined his own life. Joshua Hare Turner's life story is a testament to the enduring relationship between humans and the sea. As he continues to navigate the waters, his legacy lives on not only through his successful fishing endeavors but also through his commitment to environmental conservation and his impact on the community he holds dear. Joshua Hare Turner's biography is a tale of a dedicated fisherman and boat captain, whose life has been characterized by his unwavering connection to the sea and his desire to ensure that future generations can continue to enjoy its bounty.

TW // Injury, drugs

Oz came into the world silent as the grave - so quiet that his parents thought something was wrong with him. A middle child of five, Oz was the odd one out - he was just a little different. His siblings were loud and outgoing, and Oz was a quieter instigator.

His parents just thought he was socially awkward and didn’t ‘get it’. But Oz did- he was incredibly intelligent, quick as a whip. Perhaps he didn’t prefer to start the conversation - but he knew how to end it. He seemed to just prefer a little bit of anarchy- but his smarts were never in question. He studied multiple sciences at an Advanced level in high school and majoring in bio-chem in college, going on to get his graduate degree as well. Through it all, he had supportive parents, siblings who cheered him on and went about their lives, and an occasional distant friend or roommate.

And yet, Oz found himself craving something more adventurous. It started with little ways he could get a thrill. He looked so upright, so perfectly unassuming. The quiet little man never seemed like a threat, which was perfect for getting into trouble. While working at a national lab in New York, he found himself pocketing important chemicals and extra medication - skimming materials off the top when he could. Machines break all the time after all, and the labs always had so much money to replace just about anything… he could sell them, see how much he could get away with.

Eventually Oz was getting in with the wrong crowd. And being a criminal didn't pay in the end. His clean, quick, and silent dealing still didn't work out- and though he never got caught by the police, he was caught by someone worse - a rival organization.

Oz was nearly killed. Suffering a lumbar spinal cord injury, Oz was stuck in the hospital for months. He had lost the use of his legs at first, and required intense rehabilitation to even walk with forearm crutches or push himself in a wheelchair. But more importantly to Oz, he didn’t feel that he could continue his old job. His hands unsteady and his body having gone through a traumatic event, Oz decided to hang up his coat of crime and move away from the shitty, dark work he'd been doing for so long.

After moving to Ashmore a few years ago, he took on a new role. His apathetic and gravelly voice seemed perfect for radio, and as a sarcastic host for a combination music-and-advice station, Oz fit in perfectly. He misses a lot about his old job- the thrill and the adrenaline rush. But he also feels guilt for the shit he's done in the past.

ALRIGHT STORY TIME!! (Under a readmore cause. It's a lot lol Also for those who are here from my initial ask, feel free to ask questions about anything you don't know, whether it's about the adventure zone or Sunshine!)

So! Like mentioned in the ask, I've got most of the story mapped out and have up to Crystal Kingdom written, and I just got through the Cosmoscope scene in that, so I'm really close to finishing it and starting the Eleventh Hour. I have an arc dedicated to the relic she made, which I've titled "twists and turns," and I have various other scenes written. Eleventh Hour is probably the arc that will either take me ages or will be among the shortest because I genuinely have no idea what I'm gonna do for it. I'm sort of relistening to Balance as I go, so I'll probably get some ideas from that.

All that aside, let's start off with the first in what I'm planning to post once I'm closer to finishing: here there be gerblins! Or rather, what takes place instead of that. See, like I mentioned before, the life Sunshine ends up living is a traveling performer, so she doesn't adventure for a living pre-Bureau. Lucretia finds her after a performance and manages to persuade her to join, mostly with the promise of having somewhere she can go back to, which is something Sunshine misses.

Her job details at the start are mostly just to help Johann take care of the Voidfish and perform at events when they happen. She and Johann become friends with how much time they tend to spend together, and she also becomes friends with various other people in the Bureau. This is how she initially meets Taako, Merle, and Magnus. Having to do the Rite of Remembrance is probably her least favorite thing about her job, since it means everyone has to work that much harder and also just for the loss of life.

She eventually becomes a Seeker after talking to a few about the relic they were trying to find, and helping them connect clues they hadn't previously thought were connected. After Leeman Kessler is murdered trying to get the Oculus back to the Bureau, the Director decides to send her with the boys so they have someone to act as a diplomat. Not much else changes for Murder on the Rockport Limited.

For Petals to the Metal, she is again absent, but also not totally. The Director this time has a different mission for her: to find whoever is trying to link the missing, forgotten persons back to the Bureau. This ends up with Sunshine going to Goldcliff with Carey, and they find the culprit pretty much by accident, who is of course Angus. They help him look into a different disappearance while they're there, which also uncovers a little bit of what happened to Sunshine during the long decade everyone was apart. After that's all said and done, Sunshine manages to convince the Director to hire Angus, though mostly because she offered to be more or less his mentor in the process.

In Crystal Kingdom, she's invited to the Reclaimer's Candlenights party, and after a comment that was meant to be a joke, she ends up getting sent to the lab with them, though this time less as a diplomat and more to be the brains, since the Director says she's not sure what exactly is in the lab. Things are mostly the same, though she does actually manage to find a non-Bureau related question to stump Hodge-Podge. Taako still asks the Bureau one. She's also pretty fucking pissed about the bugbears' situation and literally punches Lucas over it (sort of; that was the breaking point more than anything.) They also find out pretty quickly that there's something weird up with her and the music that echoes through the crystals, because every time it starts, she ends up singing. I have yet to fully finish writing this arc as mentioned, but she and magic Brian have a bit of a conversation before the fight, and neither he nor Jenkins intentionally aim at her. Maarvy though gives no shits, since they never met.

As far as the Eleventh Hour goes, I don't have much planned. I know exactly what the Chalice shows her and even have that scene written out, as well as some of the scene with Istus and a little bit with Barry at the end. Like I said, I'll probably figure things out better when I get here in my relisten.

Finally we get to her own relic with the arc I'm dubbing Twists and Turns! It actually starts off with Sunshine going to talk to the Director about officially becoming a Reclaimer for several different reasons, to which Lucretia says they'll talk about it after the next mission, which all but confirms that Sunshine is going to become one. Because I'm a sucker for a good ball arc, they have to crash a ball in secret, which is definitely going to have mixed degrees of success. To actually retrieve the relic, though, they're challenged by the wielder to try and get through their garden's maze. Since Sunshine's relic is mostly focused on Enchantment magic, the four get hit with quite a few different spells, and in the end, I've planned that they'll have to fight each other and the wielder as well. They do succeed, but there's some decent damage done - Sunshine especially is gonna take a pretty big chunk of psychic damage. The interlude between this arc and the Suffering Game is gonna focus on that, and it might actually be longer than just the one chapter or so I've had written for the ones up to CK.

Which leads us perfectly into the aforementioned Suffering Game! I haven't plotted it out beat for beat, but I do know that Arms Outstretched is changed just a bit with her being there. Magnus still gets into the mannequin body and Edward still gets the shit beaten out of him by Lup, and Barry still helps out and works with them on getting back into the Bureau.

Reunion Tour is again something I haven't super considered. I've started the beginning for it a bit, mostly because Barry is there and they're traveling and talking to him a bit, but I haven't gotten everything written. I do know that this is the point where we learn the most about Sunshine, aside from Stolen Century.

And speaking of which, I've barely scratched the surface for SC. I've got the beginning written with the whole introduction interview and I'm planning on getting to the bar scene soon, since sometimes I want to try and get the century mapped out to help inform the rest of it. I have a general plan for the played-through cycles, including that Lucretia and Sunshine learn ballet and do a sort of duet version of the Dying Swan (which. Honestly any variation of is gorgeous and I highly recommend seeing literally Anyone perform that solo) and end up being the only two left for the judge world, mostly because I really want to explore how two pretty similar people can go through the same experiences and how it can change them in entirely different ways, as well as a little thing for the year before that. I haven't given the beach world much thought, but that will probably also be something I write as a sort of change of pace moment.

And finally I honestly have got jack shit for Story and Song other than just like. She helps out with the fight, cause that's about 2/3rds of the arc. I've also been entertaining different ideas for what she does after everything is said and done, but I haven't settled on one specific thing yet.

If you have any questions about anything or everything, my inbox is always always open! I love her and talking about her and I want Everyone to know about her :)

HELL YEAH SOMEWHERE ELSE I CAN INFODUMP ABOUT SUNSHINE!!!

OK so hi hello, I'll tag my related blog at the bottom since that's where I talk about her and what franchise she's in so anyone who's interested can check out the things I've got for her there

Starting off! Her full name is Sunshine Fairfield and she's a half-elf sorcerer-bard in the world of DnD podcast The Adventure Zone. She's an eighth bird, which for those who haven't listened to the podcast means that she's a part of a group of people who ended up in a sort of universe-hopping time loop for 100 years. They ended up separated in the last universe and year... 101 I think? Due to a choice one of them made that resulted in almost all of them losing memory of the century and each other. A few of them ended up leading normal lives, but some of them had complications with that. I could go super super in depth with this just because of how much I love the Adventure Zone, but for the sake of the character limit, that's essentially the long story short for how it all starts out.

I'm in the process of writing a whole story for her and I've almost finished the Crystal Kingdom arc, for those who know. What I haven't written, I've at least mapped out, though the Eleventh Hour arc is kind of an exception and so are some parts of Stolen Century.

As some basic information on Sunshine herself, like I mentioned she's a half-elf sorcerer-bard with emphasis on the bard part. At the time of the story starting, she's in about her thirties, and the life she ends up leading in their last universe is one of a traveling performer, using her magic to help with special effects.

If or when this gets posted, I'll reblog from @institute-of-planar-shitposts to kinda lay out what parts of the story I have written and talk about what I haven't yet. I'm always happy to answer questions about her, and my pinned has some links to things related to her that I have here on tumblr. It should include her tag - I'm actually going to check that and make sure. Thanks for reading!

thank you for sharing!!
