The other team's mission had been successful and Tony had insisted they all fly back to the training center upstate to use the extensive decontamination systems he'd installed there. Steve, knowing an olive branch when it was tossed out in a too-casual to actually be casual way, thanked Tony and didn't push it further.

Steve had taken an extensive trip through the exceedingly cold shower and then an even longer nap, and now he was dressed in borrowed Stark Industries sweats and sitting in a conference room for a debriefing with the entire team.

"It's very good to see you again, Colonel Rhodes," he said with a genuine smile.

It had taken more than the five hours Steve had given Maria to retrieve their new Skrull friend and another day after that to learn anything useful from him. Steve took that time to call in T'Challa, along with Tony from Fandom and Tony from New York.

(Was Tony serving as a Steve-translator for the other Tony? Probably. Steve didn't want to think about it.)

He walked into the warehouse and smelled the comforting aroma of very expensive coffee, proof that at least one of the Tonys was here already. "Hello?" he called, following the scent.

[NFB for distance and for Tony and a cast of NPCs...]

Steve absolutely knew better than to be on a touristy neighborhood like this, which was part of why he'd chosen it as a safe place to meet the other Avengers who were still hiding from Ross and the fallout of the Sokovia Accords. Anyone who happened to catch sight of their faces, he hoped, would either be too drunk to remember or too focused on robbing those too drunk to remember to bother anyone about it. Steve was moving quickly despite the sweltering heat--he was not born to amble--and began to wonder if Sam had suggested a New Orleans meeting in August as some sort of payback for being taken to the Raft. He felt the sweat beading under his "don't notice me" ball cap (even super-serum had to work hard against Southern humidity) as he dodged around drunken, surprisingly handsy revelers and tried not to breathe in the unique blend of fried dough, pot, puke, seafood, and spilled Hurricanes too deeply. He was definitely not looking to see what was sticking to his sneakers. He was a city kid and there were some questions you never wanted the answer to.

He turned down St. Philip Street after passing the blacksmith bar and heard Sam's voice in his head warning him about not being a moron and staying on this side of the road and leaving the LaLaurie Mansion the "hell alone, I mean it, Steve." He was blaming watching the house for why the arm around his neck dragging him into a nearby darkened courtyard caught him by surprise.

Steve had reached out to Natasha (through several layers of encryption and burner phones because Natasha, at least, understood how to lay low) and was now in his very best incognito outfit (beard, jeans, baseball cap, sunglasses) with Tony (in generally the same outfit), trying to appear casual as they walked around one of those giant outdoor outlet malls waiting for Natasha to make contact.

"She said she'd drop a pin with where she is in--" Steve glanced at his watch, "--eight and a half minutes. You've got the test with you?"

He'd asked that about four times already, but he was anxious.
