Has anyone other than myself wondered if on the way to retrieve the Human Torch's remains if Namor and Buck discussed the subject of Steve's body being under watch in Atlantis?
I came up with an idea based on a theory I had metioned here shortly after the death of Cap.
Picture this:
Bucky returns to his Brooklyn home only to sense and see the outline of a person in the darkened room. Going onto defensive mode he rushes the shadowy figure only to have it leap out of his path. Suddenly the lights come on and standing in front of him is his old Invaders ally Namor the Sub Mariner.
Asking why he has come, he says he needs to take the new Captain America with him to Atlantis for something has come up that he feels needs Buck's attention.
Going to a nearby alley the two climb aboard Namor's craft which was most recently used by the two on their quest in China.As the are cutting through the depths, Namor explains how Steve was never Buried in the National cemetary, but that The Avengers had turned his casket over to Namor in the gesture of returning him to the waters which they had retrieved him from those many years before.
Upon arrival in an enclosed air and pressurized area Namor explains to Bucky looking at the glass casket of Steve Rogers that the guards had recently noticed changes in Steve's wounds. They had been slowly healing. Namor recounts to Bucky how Steve had told him some time back that while on their failed mission he and Bucky had both been blown up with the drone plane. After Steve had hit the water, he wanted to search for his partner but his wounds were so severe he lapsed into unconciousness only to find himself awakened several decades later.
Namor surmises to Bucky that it seems that once again the super soldier serum along with the frigid waters had been healing Rogers wounds while in this deathlike state. Looking upon the figure of his former partner, he can see that he is breathing and it's only a matter of time before he awakens.
Well, what do you think?

JBB are you Brubaker in diguise!?!? Ha ha!!
Hey that sounded like a pretty good script for a future storyline. 
It really seemed like it matches the type of stories Brubaker has been writing starring Bucky and Cap's strong supporting cast.
I really enjoyed reading it and could visualize it all the way through. Great job!

They could probably go with Bucky as Cap for a year or two on after this point in the story, as they all monitor Cap and help him adjust.
Then again, Marvel wouldn't do that part I guess, as it would kill the money issue when Cap realy does return in the future. I'm sure they want to cash in on the event with a "BAM" Cap's back and kicking ass and saves the world issue.

The one part I forgot to include is in the following lines:
Bucky turns to Namor and asks why he looks a bit less developed, when Namor replies, I was speaking with Stark about Steve, he said I was fortunate not to see him as he did after his death. I ask why and he said for some reason he looked pretty much like
the skinny young man he had been before Operation Rebirth.
When the Atlatean guards noticed the healing they also saw that his build was returning.
Namor says that was part of the reason it was called Operation Rebirth as the intended soldiers could be mortally wounded and instead of dying they would recover from their wounds after a period of time and could then continue their service.Since Steve was the only person to get the serum the proper testing never took place.
