** A small bit of Fridge Heartwarming: [[spoiler: When Fury talks to Steve and Nat after, he says he didn't tell them at first because he didn't know who he could trust. Maria was already there, suggesting that he knew he could trust her - even after what went down during the deleted scenes of Film/TheAvengers. These two are co-workers and allies, but more importantly, they're friends who trust one another.]]

* The Captain America exhibit at the Smithsonian really hits home the impact that he had on history. Bearing in mind that this exhibit is probably from BEFORE he was found in the ice, and will have become even ''more'' prominent after the events of ''Film/TheAvengers'', too. And you see that his uniform (that he crashed the Valkyrie in) was recovered and is on display along with the rest of the Howling Commandos' uniforms.

** When Sam offers to help, Steve assures him that he doesn't have to, noting that he left for a good reason. Sam responds that Captain America needs his help, and that's as good a reason as any to get back in.

** At that moment, this almost crosses into a freakin' fridge moment of awesome, heartwarming, and a tearjerker all at once-- [[spoiler: Bucky is prepared to finish the job]], but when Steve drops the final line from the above entry, [[spoiler: The Winter Soldier's]] expression completely changes-- it goes from [[http://i.imgur.com/3Gxvo3h.png this]] to [[http://i.imgur.com/1yuLOzo.png this]]. You could say that the first image is [[spoiler: The Winter Soldier]], and the second is [[spoiler:Bucky Barnes]].\\

* A small one, but a meta one spanning both this and First Avenger; Steve promised Dr Erkine that he would remain not a good soldier, but a good man. Even after 70 years, Steve has kept that promise by caring for the freedom of others, and not blindly following orders.

** A subtle one goes to the World Security Council members. In ''The Avengers'' they had referred to Captain America as a freak and had been willing to nuke Steve and the rest of the Avengers. However, they also immediately believe his claims about [[spoiler: Hydra's infiltration]] without any proof whatsoever. That's good enough, but after [[spoiler: Black Widow starts dumping SHIELD and Hydra's top secret files onto the internet]] none of the Councilmen object. They fully trust all of the Avengers now, enough to implicitly agree to [[spoiler: destroy an organization they lead.]]

* When Steve has a flashback to happier times with Bucky after learning the identity of the Winter Solider, it's shown that both Bucky and his parents clearly cared a lot about Steve (Bucky says that his parents wanted to give Steve a lift to his mother's funeral). Bucky even offers to have Steve move in with him, with his comment about Steve "just having to shine his shoes" indicating he'd be willing to provide for both of them.

Also, given the fact that [[spoiler: The Winter Soldier is essentially a computer in a human's body whose memories have been deleted]], Steve pretty much broke into a supercomputer and recovered [[spoiler:Bucky's memories]] from the Recycle Bin just by taking a beating and knowing the right things to say (and wear). That'd be akin to un-deleting a file, which someone else axed, using only your mind.

** When Steve visits the place incognito, one little boy, wearing a t-shirt bearing Cap's trademark shield, recognises him and silently stares in shock. Steve's reaction to this? He smiles gently and raises his finger to his lips in a "shhh" motion; the boy nods in understanding and remains quiet. It's small but adorable.
