From Chapter Ten of "The Ability to Stop":
The triggers for flashbacks could be---as Steve knew from his own experience with them---as wide and varied as sounds or smells or textures or sometimes, just the way a phrase was said. Steve himself had had to avoid ice cubes for months following his own awakening, and the freezer section at grocery stores, but the one trigger that had induced a full-on flashback was one of Tony’s interns, humming an old song that had been a favorite of Peggy Carter’s. There was no accounting for which traumas left which marks.
