Summary: A "day in the life" scenario with the star-spangled man!
The Story:
I.

Steve's always preferred the diner to the dining hall. There's something about the personal touch that's put on the food. It's not quite like home, but it's definitely better than the formal setup of the dining hall, with its long tables and lavish decorations.

On any given day, Steve can be found camped out in one of the diner's booths, picking at an enormous plate of food while he works on one project or another. Depending on when he's found, he might be scribbling down names into a notebook (names like Black Widow and Hawkeye, among others), or reading a novel, or even doodling in his sketch book.

While he doesn't mind eating by himself and never has, finding the alone time to be relaxing, he certainly won't turn away anyone who might decide to join him, gesturing them toward the opposite side of the booth with a brief smile.

II.


As much as Steve enjoys jogging around Wonderland's grounds, particularly now that spring has sprung and the weather is so nice, from time to time he prefers to switch things up, which is how he finds his way to the swimming pool located on the mansion's second floor. As far as he knows, people don't often make use of this amenity, and so he usually finds it empty when he heads down in a pair of trunks with a towel in hand to swim some laps.

Steve's instincts might be good, but with his head mainly submerged underwater while he swims, he isn't likely to notice if anyone does happen upon him during his workout. On the other hand, he might be finishing up and pushing himself out at the edge of the pool to dry off as someone walks in.

Either way, it's going to involve him wet, dripping, and shirtless -- and who would want to miss that?

III.


With Natasha and Clint having arrived in quick succession, the pressure on Steve to restructure the Avengers is stronger than ever. He's been putting it off, which isn't like him, probably because it's another way in which he has to make a change because Bucky has left. That, and there haven't been any threats on the mansion as of late. Most people can put up with some talking plants without the aid of a superhero team.

Still, it needs to be done, and that means getting back into the swing of his title. He can't just be Steve here, not when he's got people relying on him, and so he's in full uniform as he takes out the robot drones that Tony set up for them in the training room.

He crashes into one with his shield, throwing it off balance, and then flings his leg up high enough to slam his boot into its head, which knocks it clear off the thing's shoulders and sends it rolling across the floor. Then he spins around and flings his shield out to clip two more of the drones, racing after it to slam into the metal dummies with all his strength. This is entirely different from watching Steve spar -- he isn't holding back right now because he doesn't need to, instead making full use of the serum.

"Did you just... throw your shield?"

Brennan's standing just inside the door of the training room, dressed in simple leathers and a comfortable tunic - an outfit that clearly dates him as someone not hailing from the modern times of jeans and tshirts.

He'd been walking past the door when the sound of fighting caught his attention and he'd peeked in our of sheer curiosity to see the man in the strangest suit of armor he's ever seen fighting off some sort of metallic assailants. And throwing his shield as some manner of projectile in a fighting style he's never seen anything remotely like before.

It leaves him watching the scene in a bit of dumbfounded awe for a moment.

Brennan recognizes him once the helmet comes off, though he can't place a name right away with his face. Curious now that he has the man's attention, he wanders a little further into the training room as he approaches the warrior.

"No, that's a skill I've never seen anyone employ before. Your shield was crafted with this purpose in mind?" What a fascinating concept.

He takes it, running a hand over it's smooth surface with undisguised fascination and awe. "I've never felt anything like this before. What's it made out of?" he asks, testing the weight and balance of it with the easy expertise of someone who knows his way around weapons. Or, at least, weapons of a certain era.

He glances up with the man introduces himself, noting the rank with a dip of his head. "A pleasure, Captain. I'm Brennan Trevelyan. Inquisitor," he adds his title on as almost an afterthought - grimacing a little at it, because he wasn't one to offer that before his own name unless one of his advisers was looming somewhere behind him.

"Not one I've encountered before, no," Brennan confirms, taking one more moment to admire the craftsmanship of it before offering it back to the Captain with a smile.

His question gets a laugh, rueful and bemused. "Whatever needs done, really. And whatever my advisers send me out on," he jokes, even though that's not entirely truth. Or, at least, not the full truth. "There's an organization in my world called the Inquisition. There hasn't been a need for it in centuries, but it's recently been a very turbulent and chaotic time for everyone. Our Order was reformed when a great need for it arose. Our purpose is mostly to try and restore order, for those who need aid caught in the crossfire. And to stop those responsible for the chaos."

Brennan makes a face. "That's one of the reasons, yes. One of about half a dozen. Most of them had one person at the core of their cause, so following his trail eventually resolved most of them in one way or another. It took us a great deal of time, however."

He crosses his arms over his chest as Steve takes the shield back, comfortable and relaxed as he does his best to explain the clusterfuck that was Corypheus.

"Just before I was brought here, actually," Brennan answers with a grimace although he knew, back home, their troubles didn't end there. "Here I'd been hoping for a nice relaxing vacation for a while. Or at least a few days to celebrate."

"I wish it were so," Brennan chuckles with a shake of his head. "I'm afraid, however, that my work at home is far from done, and that an even greater threat might be looming in my future."

A threat that wore the face of a friend, which made it even more difficult than he'd anticipated. He still has no idea what to do about it.

Brennan makes a face and shoots Steve a wry glance. "That obvious, am I? Yes. One of my closest friends was sent home and then returned after a handful of days. He experienced well over a year once there, however. The news he brought back with him was... troubling."

NEVER

"You've been here long enough to form that opinion, I take it?" Brennan asks, tilting his head to the side as he eyes him thoughtfully.

"Yes, it is, but I'm hardly the only one struggling with it, I've noticed. And I've companions here having a harder time with it than I am, so I'm trying to take it in stride, at least. Then agian, I've had some practice in biding my time until an opportunity to strike presents itself."

Brennan gives a low whistle at that. Two years was a long time.

"It doesn't seem all that interested in winning or losing, from what I've observed," Brennan counters after a moment. "With everything so temporary anyway, it's hard to tell one way or another."
