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.
IV.

sorry for the delay! i was out of town for a few days and then life got nuts
Steve also has a tendency to keep to himself, so if anything he's relieved that this woman took the initiative in coming up to him.
"It's fine," he immediately says, shaking his head. "It wasn't anything important." These days sketching is a hobby more than anything, something to do with his hands when he's idle somewhere.
He gestures to the other side of the booth. "Did you want to have a seat? The food here is pretty good."
no worries!
She smiles and slides in across from him, because...well. Why not. Under normal circumstances, this might be odd and she certainly wouldn't approach a random man.
"I didn't even know this was here."
no subject
"Yeah, the mansion is pretty big and it can be tough to search each floor." Especially since they have the tendency to go on and on into eternity. "We should make a list of what is where for newer people, come to think of it."
They're already sitting, but Steve still reaches across the table so they can shake. "Steve Rogers. It's nice to meet you."
no subject
Japanese..she might have to indulge in that. It's been ages since she's had that...
Anyway. Introductions are to be had.
"Jenny--"
She clears her throat, laughing awkwardly as she takes his hand. She forgets
"Sorry. Adaline Bowman. It's very nice to meet you. I..used to go by Jenny."
Among other names.
no subject
He quirks a smile at her, resting his arm on the tabletop as a sign of openness. "Needed a change?" It's not that uncommon for someone to take on a new name, for any number of reasons. He's not sure if Adaline will tell him her story, but it's hard not to be curious.
no subject
There are many obvious reasons as to why she wouldn't go into further detail. He hasn't particularly probed for information and they're all stuck in the same boat here, so she entertains the idea of actually confiding in someone.
No one is after her here.
For the first time in decades, Adaline tells the truth.
"Something like that. Adaline is my birth name, but I change my name and appearance every decade. Jenny was my last alias. I'm still getting used to going by Adaline."
And it feels so, so good to be able to do so.
post-hiatus tag, totally okay if you drop!
Every decade? Adaline doesn't look to have lived through any more than three decades. Steve studies her for a few seconds. Still, she's probably prepared for some follow-up questions.
"You make it sound like you've lived through a lot of them. Decades, I mean."
That's as diplomatic as Steve can be about the subject, but he's watching for her reaction.
I'd love to keep going if you don't mind?
"..I have."
Adaline laughs faintly.
"I'm one hundred and seven."
not at all!
"Well, it looks like you and I have at least one thing in common, then," he says as he lifts up his glass of water to take a sip.
When he sets it back down, he looks right at Adaline with a knowing smile.
"We both look really good for our age." She's a little older than him, not to mention that it sounds like she's lived through all of those years instead of sleeping through them, but still, Steve can't help but make the joke.
no subject
"How old are you, if I may ask?" Unless it's rude, which it could be considered such.
no subject
"I'm ninety-seven, ninety-nine if you add the two years in Wonderland."
So really, not that much younger than her, though he's certainly lived a lot less.
