[There a click on, and the clear sound that someone is there, but there's a pause, like maybe someone is making sure.]

Is this broadcast going through?

I think I got it-

Hello, Tranquility, my name is Steve Rogers.

I'd like to be directed to whoever is in charge of Security, if that's not too much trouble. And I'd like to know if it's possible to see out into space. Are there any windows on board?

[Annnnd a pause, and a fumble.]

Is it off?

[And then another pause.]

Sorry, excuse me-

[And NOW it's off.]

[She doesn't know the full story behind every name on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Wall of Valor. Seems like she ought to, by now. It's a guilty admission in the privacy of her thoughts. She looks impassive under any level of scrutiny.]

Joining Security?

[Only half a question, not tough to figure out.]

[priceoffreedom]

Considering it.

Might want to look at Gunnery, too.

[And right about there's where he decides that one day he'll work a smile out of you, Melinda May. The patience of angels might be the only saintly thing he has.

Right now he just tips his head like that makes sense to him.]

I'd sooner fly with a WASP girl anyday.

[Can she sign somewhere to deflect this over to Romanoff? Natasha's used to it. She probably likes it... On second thought, probably not. It isn't saintly patience of her own, exactly, that makes her skip right over with a small exhale.]

Any other questions?

[Hey no reason he can't try the same on this Agent Romanoff, too. It makes him feel like himself, for a minute.

But he defers any questions over to Steve with a glance.]

[priceoffreedom]

Not at the moment, no, Agent May.

[He is going to take his device back from his idiot friend now]

[Well, Bucky, it should really be all Natasha, all the time. Or Natasha and women who respond to "sweetheart" without frenzied stabbing. Better, right?

Steve knows exactly when to confiscate a communication device.]

Good.

[Spoken with intended finality; brusque when she's not professional.]
