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.

"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."
