Long ago seem the days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and their constant Twitter interactions, as 2020 continues to slog on without an end in sight.
But last week, after a six-year-old boy was hailed by Chris Evans as a hero for saving his little sister for a dog attack, the Avengers began to assemble yet again--even if only to outdo each other.
Bridger Walker, the boy in question who sustained a serious injury to the right side of his face saving his little sister from the dog attack, received another surprise from the Avengers when Robert Downey Jr. sent him a video message:
"Bridger, you're a rock star," Downey Jr. said.
"My name's Robert Downey Jr. I played Tony, which makes me an old friend of Cap's. I hear he sent a shield your way. I'm gonna do one better, you call me on your next birthday. I got something special for you. By the way, that's a promise. A promise beats a shield."

Bridger, who is from Cheyenne, Wyoming, had to go through a two-hour surgery and get 90 stitches.
When asked why he put himself in harm's way for his little sister, he simply said "If someone had to die, I thought it should be me."

Bridger's story is a nice reminder that we have heroes of every age, creed, and type roaming around the world, even in the darkest of times.
