[He'd been captured after he'd seen Bucky and Ben running. He was damned if he was going to let his best friend get captured by hostiles for a second time. The same went for Tony, too, though it was mostly unconscious and a sense of vague worry that had sent Steve out looking for him in the first place.

He is here, though, and coherent enough to make an entry -- though he is bruised, slightly bloodied and covered in dirt. Usually the sort of thing that heals easily enough normally, but this place? Is hardly normal.]

Looks like they've gotten a good number of us. Who's with me on figuring a way out of here? I think they want to make me fight, probably.

[Then, there's a slightly tight smile.] Don't give up hope yet. I'm good at unexpected escape attempts, and I will get every last one of you out of here even if I have to do it myself.

[It's hard to see on Jesse's end, because he's got the communicator up close against his face, skewed so he can whisper into it; but from what is visible, it's clear he's hurt.

[He shifts awkwardly to hold up his shackled wrists.] But I figure this is-- this is like-- a sci-fi universe, right? like there must be lasers around. Or-- or there's this stuff called termite. Thermite. It breaks locks. There must be all kinds of shit somewhere... I was trying to look, but...

I'll be keeping an eye out. [He rolls his shoulders a little, with a slight wince.] I'm not at 100% quite yet, but if they want me to fight, they've gotta give me weapons, right?

So -- stay safe, and keep ready. I'll be in touch.

Yeah, but... [There's an uncertain edge to his roughened voice.] They've like all got weapons...

From:

Then stay quiet. You can do that, right?

Do you have some kind of plan, here? What-- what about Iron Man? Where's Iron Man?

I'm working on one. [A pause.] I don't know. I was looking for him when I ran into the hostiles.

[He relents, because Jane hasn't showed up to make him desperate yet, and if anyone can pull this off with a half-assed plan, he figures it's probably Captain America of all people. He swallows painfully and nods, chafing his busted hands together.] Okay. Okay. There's a few of us out here, so...
