And back again [open]

Who: Steve Rogers and anyone
Where: Tony's room and around the city
When: February 23rd
Summary: Steve comes back after staying in his world for about 70 years. Cue making sure that Tony is okay and reorienting himself with Saeng Seong.
Warnings: Steve being a grumpy old man.


[Locked to Tony]

Steve wasn't very happy, to say the least. He thought that he would be getting a little time to himself after the battle in New York, time to maybe adjust to the new era or at least see how much had changed since his frozen slumber in the ice. But no, he woke up in another unfamiliar place without any warning. Of course the unfamiliar place became familiar once his memories came rushing back. Saeng Seong, right. He was... small when he was last here. It seemed so long ago. Steve briefly wondered if any of his friends were still here, how much time had passed in this place.

Oh, and Tony. He was here before. So was Loki- and okay, he needed to see if his teammate was alright and if Loki had done anything since his disappearance. Exploring the city would need to come after.

With that task in mind, Steve headed to Tony's apartment and knocked on his door, trying to remain calm despite the frustration he was feeling. He was getting sick of being transported to places without knowing how much time had passed.

After being reassured that Loki hadn't done anything destructive yet and getting an explanation on how much time had passed, Steve decided that it would be a good time to walk around Saeng Seong again. Although, barely any time had passed since he was gone, almost the opposite of how it was on Earth.

Figures. A small part of him wished that only three days passed when he took the plane down.

Still, he had to do this. It wasn't like he remembered every single detail of this city... and he just really needed the fresh air. So Steve could be found around the districts, stopping every so often at different shops with a look of surprise. Surprise that it remained unchanged even though he knew it had only been a short amount of time. Or Steve could be seen walking down the street and turning his head at everything in almost a daze.

Afterward, Steve was just sitting down on a bench in the park, staring down at his folded hands and looking a bit distracted. He needed a little time to take this all in still. Maybe he was overreacting, but just seeing the city almost unchanged... it was just a bit mind-boggling to him.

"Just three days..." Steve mumbled to himself, although his voice was clear enough to be heard. He also was a little angry about everything, but he tried to keep things to himself as he sat there on the bench.

"Hmph."

Lightning's pride was bruised, and she wasn't about to injure it further by accepting his help in getting up. So she got up herself, slowly and stiffly, favoring her injured shoulder, and tsked. It didn't feel broken, or dislocated, so it was probably just sore, and she could apply one Cure to it and it wouldn't be as bad.

So she placed her hand on her chest, drawing the bright blue magic from her brand, and touched it to her shoulder. It was easing already-- good.

"Yeah."

She quirked an eyebrow up at him. The look on his face... What, he'd never seen magic before? And yet he correctly guessed what it was-- then again, it was obvious what it was for.

"What, you want one?"
lightstrike: (Does the sun shine up at you)

That eyebrow stayed up. She should have expected that comment to come, really. After all, it was a joke about her own name.

Instead of replying, she let the magic speak for itself. She returned her hand to that point just above her breasts, and drew a Thunder spell from it-- but only to a point, just to let Steve see the little yellow bolts of electricity crackling between her palm and her chest. She didn't let it linger, and stopped casting the spell, letting it fade away harmlessly.

"If you want to see more, we shouldn't be indoors."

She snorted. "No, I wasn't going to show you."

She was being snarky, but maybe the bruising on both her body and pride dampened that a little. So instead Lightning just busied herself with taking inventory of her body, poking at her side and wincing. She put a cure on that too.
lightstrike: (You don't need to worry now you're gone)

"Since there's nothing else to do? Yeah, I'd say we're done." Best to just hobble on back to her apartment to take care of the parts she didn't want to waste a Cure on.

Though... He did help her, even if it was really more of knocking the wind out of her.

"Hey, wait for a bit." She pulled another Cure from her brand, and sent the spell to where she knew she had hit him the hardest. It was the least she could do.
