so morgan stark finds an old flip phone while snooping around and manages to dial the only number on it and poor steve almost gets cardiac arrest thats it thats the headcanon
At first, Steve thinks his hearing is going. But then the nurse points at the side table drawer, saying “Your phone is ringing.”

He has to dig deep inside, knuckles bumping against who even remembers what before they curl around the source of the ringing and the vibrations.
His brain yells a warning but it’s too late. Steve pulls the phone out and he’s catapulted back to 2016. He’s standing in the middle of a dusty street, at the counter of a small shop that sells these burner phones, loading his number up before he walks down to the post office to drop off this package he’s made for Tony.
