[ Steve got the memo from the strangers with their announcement and had therefore taken precautions. It doesn't sound like his shield will do any good against these angels, and so he'd gone to the closets for help -- although the only weapon they'd seen fit to give him is a cane that's got a taser built into it.
He didn't know such a thing even existed, but electricity can slow these things down, so it's better than nothing.
The narrow hallways of the mansion only leave Steve feeling claustrophobic, like he might get tracked down at any moment by one of the angels. It makes more sense to move outside into the heat of the desert where he actually has a chance of finding one of these things before they get him.
That's the idea, at least. But there's a strong wind shifting the sand around him, which drowns out a lot of noise he might have otherwise picked up on. Steve's in uniform this time around, the boots and protective covering serving him better in the desert environment. Shield on his back and cane in hand, he's so far unaware of Darcy's presence as he traverses the dunes. ]
