Well, up until recently I used to think I was the only super-soldier around. Turns out that's not the case.
[ The Winter Soldier project more or less made that much clear. And if the Russians were tampering with a super-soldier serum, who knows who else might have had armies of their own before the Storm hit?
Maybe they're in some of those pods right now; it's hard to say. ]
Mutants, however, they're a species of their own. There were a lot of them around, all with powers of their own.
Someone more knowledgeable than me probably has a better answer for that. [ Steve admits. Yes, his answer is vague, but he's not exactly confident he can answer Bruce's questions with 100% certainty. There's a lot he doesn't know, a lot they don't tell soldiers like him - captain or not. ] I can only speak for myself and what little I've seen.
I'll admit, I've never really been much of a science guy either.
[ For being forthcoming about it. Bruce himself wouldn't be giving such straight answers. Wry, ]
And I thought one was enough trouble.
[ He doesn't resent Clark — well, anymore. But regardless, the world changed when he flew across the sky. The metahuman thesis finally solidified. And they have proof. ]
But Steve leaves it at that - for now. He does have to wonder whether Alan's going to look into it after all, find someone who can tell him a little more about mutants and supersoldiers. The only experts Steve knows are dead now, or maybe - like Peggy - they're asleep in pods, just waiting for that chance to be woken up.
Either way, it's not as important as the matter at hand.
Steve gestures for the other man to lead the way towards the edge of the forest brush where they can begin their unofficial patrol around the perimeter. ]

[ Why not both, if he's offering. ]

A whole species?
[ His mind runs to experimental labs, government weapon projects, black sites. ]
Newly emerged, or always around?

ftb.
[ Plenty enough, in fact.
