log 002, accidental video

[thestarspangledman]

[Well hello there, Barge. Have you ever wanted to watch a super-soldier beat the hell out of a punching bag? Because that's where Steve is, in the gym, intent and focused and scowling at the bag like it's his worst enemy. He takes a slight break to grab a quick drink of water, and then he's back to hitting at the bag. He's clearly been at it for some time, the bag is looking ...somewhat the worse for wear, to say the least, though at least he hasn't knocked it completely off its chain yet.]

[After another pause for water, he finally looks over and sees the comm, then picks it up with a slightly surprised blink.]

Oh, uh. Sorry. I didn't exactly mean to show this.

[A pause.] But if anyone wants to spar, or needs me for anything -- you all know where to find me now, I guess.

[thestarspangledman]

I figured as much.

[video]

[aggravating]

[He narrows his eyes, annoyance... kind of obvious, now.]

If you have something to say, just say it.

[video]

[thestarspangledman]

I think I've said everything that needs to be said.

[peektuttut]

So, what's your story? Super strength? I saw that Tony called you 'Captain America.' [Are you a super hero, a masked vigilante, these are the things Tim wants to know. He starts stretching, taking a few experimental jabs at the air.]

I want to know what I'm getting myself into.

[aggravating]

[His lips twitch, just barely]

Somehow I doubt that.

[thestarspangledman]

I'm a soldier. I volunteered for an experiment to make me like this, so I could serve my country. So -- not exactly super strength, but the most you're gonna get without having super strength.

[peektuttut]

So you can take a hit. Perfect. [He cracks his knuckles, and heads for the mats, rolling his shoulders.] Do you want to lay down any rules, or just go for it?

[ Audio ]

[surfaceshine]

Good luck with that. Watch out for the short ones.

[ Audio ]

[thestarspangledman]

[There's a startled laugh.] I know the short ones can be feisty. Trust me.

[Dean just grins a little bit, shakes his head, and kills the feed; lot to do still today.]

[sharpememory]

He's just a dude who used to be here who had your... build.

[thestarspangledman]

Well I'm, uh, not him. Just Steve.

[sharpememory]

You ever killed a man, Steve?

[thestarspangledman]

[He's just going to be giving a 'seriously?' kind of look.]

I fought in World War 2. I sure have.

[sharpememory]

What side were you fighting on?

[thestarspangledman]

The side that won.

[sharpememory]

Hey, careful what you say, man. There might be some poor bastard around here who's from a place where the Germans won.

[thestarspangledman]

If you're not one of them, then it doesn't matter much.

[sharpememory]

Yeah, well. True. Although where I come from is pretty different, just putting that out there.

[thestarspangledman]

I've sort of gathered that a lot of places are pretty different.

[sharpememory]

I'll say. Where I come from, most people would consider the barge a glorified nudist colony.

Video: Backdated forever because I fail. Unless you'd rather I delete, I can so do that!

[some_kinda_hero]

If you break that, you are so sewing it back up.

[She teasing. Totally. Right?]

[thestarspangledman]

[A little blink.] Really?

Video:nope this is awesome

[thestarspangledman]

[A little blink.] I think I can manage that.

Video: <3

[some_kinda_hero]

[Small laugh.] I'm kidding. Just, you know, try to be careful? The Admiral isn't always so awesome about replacing the equipment.

I'm Claire, by the way. I'm the Warden in charge of the gym.
