[Steve is pacing the hallways today, looking rather -- tired, to say the least. He sounds it, too, though mostly it's an overabundance of worry.]

--Hello to any new people I might have missed arriving, and, uh, welcome to the Barge. The best advice I can give you is be prepared for anything. --Which, yeah, does sound a bit cheesy, but it's true. Anyhow, I'm Captain Steve Rogers, and it's nice to have you all on board. If you ever want to say hello, I'm generally around the gym.

[And now, to business]

[Private to the Admiral:]

I'd like to request Sergeant Blake's return to life, please, sir.

[Private to Charles:]

Seems like Tony's been drinking a lot lately. ...More than usual, I mean. Tell me I'm not just worrying needlessly, huh? [Sorry, Charles, but he doesn't have Eddie to hover over right now and all that worry has to go somewhere.]

((OOC: Feel free to run into Steve while he's wandering. He'll be returning to the infirmary eventually, just to play guard dog, but, uh, yeah.))

Captain? [Kara tilts her head at the screen] I didn't know we had an army.

You're not. He hasn't exactly been coping well with everything that's happened.

Why did you lie to him?

We don't, I just served in the army at home. ....I guess I still sort of do, but, uh. Usually I'm better known as Captain America.

You alright?

I've noticed. [And boy does he feel awful about it.]

I -- [A little sigh.] A ...co-worker of ours figured it would be easier to keep an eye on Loki, that way. Tony's not exactly the best at subtlety when he's angry, if you haven't noticed. I never meant for it to turn into all this, I wanted to tell him -- but Loki beat me to the punch.

....No. [Because he knows better than to lie to you, Bucky.]

What were you both assuming Loki would get up to here that would be easier to keep an eye on as long as he was friendly with Tony?

[She's not going to bother with videos and recordings and all that jazz. It's easier for Peggy to find him.]

Steve....

I don't know, it's a little hard to predict the movements of a trickster god who tried to take over the world, is all!

[A pause.] ...Sorry. It's ...been a rough week or so, I'm not -- just. Sorry.

[He will, at least, try for a smile for her.]

Fancy meeting you here.

[One look at Steve's face has Ariadne frowning in concern.]

Tell me you're on the way to your cabin to get some rest.

Mind if I walk with you?

Ma'am, I can go for a pretty long time without stopping.

It's alright. [Charles really doesn't seem particularly fazed by the outburst.] I'm just trying to get a better idea of what actually was happening, here.

You wanna go a couple rounds in the gym? [Which, you know, you could kick his ass in boxing now but.]

Wouldn't mind the company.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. What is it with you hero-types and your need to keep going until you drop? [She's been gently lecturing Dick, too. Does she have to be the Barge mom now?]

I know. I'm trying to help as much as I can.

[A sigh.] Sometimes I think Banner was right, we really are more of a ticking time bomb than a team.

....Sure. Maybe more than a couple.

Sometimes being too tired to think has its good points.

[She smiles and closes the distance between them.]

Good, because I wouldn't have accepted no as an answer.

I didn't think you would.

Banner?

[She shoves her hands in her pockets, nodding a little. Whatever Ivy did to Edward Blake, must've been pretty horrific.

She doesn't want to know.]

I can understand that. And maybe... not wanting to sleep.

[He wouldn't tell her if she asked, anyway.]

Funny thing about having the serum. I don't need a lot of sleep.
