[ it's nice to have someone around who seems to be as immediately down to fuck shit up as steve is—bucky generally is, has been, in the past, but he's also determined to be smart about it. do their due diligence, make sure they're not causing more problems than they're solving, make sure their use of force is necessary and judicious. all important stuff! he's a valuable check on steve's inclination to be a human battering ram!
but sometimes you see a poorly built tower and you want to topple it, nuts to the consequences. ]
You wouldn't hear me complaining, [ steve smiles, ] but I figure if we want to make sure nothing worse pops up in its place, we should probably figure out what we're toppling first.
[ "convince" those in charge, "remove"... whatever works, you know? steve's got ideas, but he's always open to improvising.
the employee with the costume comes up to scott and holds out the bag, talking about so sorry for the inconvenience mr. summers, i didn't recognize you, we've included some free samples for your trouble, please don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything more we can do for you—
steve meets scott's eye over the employee's head, one eyebrow raised incredulously. ]
