Things have been hectic with his life and he's not sure he's been able to get his head on straight since the fight with the Chitauri. He's closer but, really, that's the sort of thing that only time will prove. Weaknesses only show up under stress testing and sometimes only repeated stress testing at that. So, because he was bored, he found some trouble in Hell's Kitchen. Really, it isn't hard to do. There is a lot of trouble in a number of places in New York.

He's going to be showing a black eye in the morning and there are a few cuts that he should probably have looked at before going to sleep. Still, he feels better than he has in awhile, crouched up here looking out across the buildings. He can see Stark's building in the distance, as if the thing isn't visible from space.

In the opposite direction from Stark's building, Clint might see something familiar.

A star-spangled something.

Chasing what looks to be a Hydra agent across some residential rooftops.

When Captain America gets a head of steam going, it can be hard to slow down. So when the guy he's chasing at full speed suddenly gets zapped and drops to the ground, it's all he can do to plant a foot, jump in the air, spin off some momentum and land in a crouch on the other side of him, skidding a little as he does so.

There's a moment of confusion before he recognizes the trademark arrow.

A glance around for a moment... and then a smirk, as he realizes Barton could be anywhere.

"Appreciate the assist," comes the amiable response.

"I've been meaning to track you down since SHIELD went belly up, but things have gotten pretty hectic."

He takes a knee, searching the goon for... something.

"You up to speed on that yet?" Figuring he'd have talked to Natasha by now.

Cap shrugs. "Not a bad analogy."

Ripping a belt full of pouches off the bad guy here, Cap starts looking through each one.

"I've been running around putting out fires like this guy."

Producing a packet of strange-looking capsules from his search, he shows them to Barton.

"These were headed for the local water supply. You just saved the city."

Cap's always grateful for help, regardless of whether or not he needed it. It's kind of the whole point of the stars and stripes - getting people involved.

"Where had you gone for pizza, if you don't mind me asking?"

Suddenly, he whips his shield to his right - not cool enough that he can no-look it, but it's close enough - and it clangs off the head of a guy on the next rooftop over, dressed similarly to this goon. A gun clatters out of his hands and he drops to the ground.

Two clangs later, the shield makes its way back to Cap's hand.

Cap nods to that. "Then here it turns out there were a lot of bad, suspicious people pulling the strings."

A look over to the man he just hit.

"And now that it's all out, they're starting to get brazen or desperate - hard to tell the difference sometimes. I keep getting sidetracked with rounding up these goons."

Finally, he looks back to Hawkeye. "Are you as plugged into the intelligence community as Natasha is?"

"Fair point," he admits with a wry nod.

"But are you involved enough to have heard of someone called 'The Winter Soldier?'"

"Well, I can tell you for a fact that he's not a ghost." As much as he feels like one. Some twisted version of his best friend. Who he hadn't seen in a year or so.

No. Almost 70 years.

"I know more about who he is than he does."

"You could say that," Cap responds, any amusement he might have gotten from Clint's self-deprecation doused by his personal involvement with the Winter Soldier.

"Although Lord knows I hit him in the head enough times to know it'll take more than a good clobbering to snap him out of it."

Then again, the fact that Steve is even alive right now is testament to the notion that Buck was finding his way back.

Cap's head tilts.

"You have some experience with this? The long term jobs?"

The short-term ones, he knows about.

It only takes a moment for Steve to catch on. He's read Natasha's file, but hasn't actually had a conversation about it.

"Don't suppose she's too eager to tell it, either."

Steve glances downward for a moment, as a little warm feeling passes through him at the thought.

"She was with me when all this was happening. If she hasn't told me yet, I'm not sure she will."

'Obviously' is never a term that applies to Steve Rogers and potential relationship implications, if that's what Clint's thinking. 'Oblivious' is closer to the truth.

"That's true. Feels like we haven't had a moment of downtime. Given the amount of identities she has to rebuild now, I don't get the impression she likes to talk about herself much."

captainbrooklyn: (steve stare)
From: [personal profile] captainbrooklyn
Steve glances down for a moment, feeling... well, almost touched at the implication here.

"Then maybe we can have a talk about it sometime... although tracking her down will be a lot harder now that she's not reporting in to anybody..."

From: [personal profile] captainbrooklyn
That sounds like a line that should summon her to their spot immediately. But nobody's magic here.

Steve sighs. "Well, then. While we wait for that, how about we haul these guys into containment and then I buy you a drink for saving the city? Maybe you can tell me a story that IS yours to tell."

"Not every good story has to be a long one," he counters, hoisting one of the goons over his shoulder, before sprinting toward the ledge to jump to the next rooftop and collect the other guy.

The man is strong and kind of ridiculous with the physicality.
