Happy Easter

It's my last day of work at the Crisis Respite and I notice a female co-worker I hadn't seen before. After trying a few times to understand her name, I realize she prefers to go by Abe. I preemptively tell her I'm taken, but she's not fazed.

I go outside for a short break and run into my family. Small talk ensues. I redirect a bicyclist down the road because he thought he was at a printing lab. I suddenly remember that I was supposed to be washing dishes.

I go back inside the kitchen and Abe is already doing them. She's so nice that she won't let me take over the operation, but she at least let's me help. I notice a poster for a crime noir novel that she's written but it gives her name as Abba. The nickname makes sense. We bond over surprisingly meaningful conversation.

There's strange chatter on the radio and then dozens of federal agents burst through the wall and rappel from the roof. They claim to know about the conspiracy and I politely tell them what kind of facility they are in.

A metal barge no smaller than six schoolbuses plows through the other wall and it is packed with heavily-armed mentally-ill individuals. An epic shootout proceeds as I hit the ground and meditate about the ethics of it all. I don't know where Abe is and she doesn't respond to my calls.

An enormous suit of Iron Man armor falls from nowhere and kills everyone, but luckily the mouth slit lands over me. The scene cuts to a lab which has Robert Downey, Jr. floating unconscious in a futuristic medical cylinder. An important-looking general remarks that Stark pulled an Obi-Wan Kenobi by coming back to life, but now he owes the government. The camera pulls back to reveal a few mystery individuals also in cylinders.

After the movie, people are discussing how they really like what they did with Captain America, but I don't remember that part at all.
