He doesn’t like people knowing about it. He’s a good guy, but he likes being secretive about his own things. It wasn’t very well received when his friends found out about it.

[probably because he was a lying piece of shit, but wanda really isn’t one to judge.]

…so, it’s nice that he has a friend or two here.

[pretty much implying that he was whisked here with unresolved conflict with his friends, which is in no way constructive.]

Thanks, Steve.

[ Friends back home, Steve assumes. That makes it tough, and it explains why Matt prefers to keep things close to the chest. Different enhanced people and vigilantes have different feelings about their identities being public.

As for Steve, he never really had a choice, and that's been the case for so long that it doesn't bother him when people know about it. ]

Yeah, absolutely. I'll make sure to clue you in if I get the sense that he's overdoing it.

[ As for Wanda's feelings, that's something she's going to need to take more time to figure out. ]

There was one other thing I wanted to talk to you about, seeing how I have you here already.

[carmesi]

[she figured this was as much as steve would give her, time-wise, to talk about things. she likes to compare it to how long he could stare at a phone’s screen to send messages on before he sets it aside for the rest of the day.

so, in reading that there was another thing he wanted to talk to her about, she can’t help but tilt her head in wonder.]

Anything serious?

[assembles]

No, I guess you could say it's more like Avengers business. In a way.

Maybe Altaïr already brought this up with you, but I'm curious about that lizard that they found. The one that has metal parts. Do you think you'd be able to go back to the area where you guys found it and do a more thorough search?

[carmesi]

I know homework when I see it, Steve.

[she's joking]

Altaïr did mention it. I've asked a few guys in Solvunn to give me a hand with it. We'll report back if we find anything.

[assembles]

More like a field trip, I'd say. And everyone knows those were the best days.

[ Unsurprisingly, Wanda's already on it. ]

Thanks for indulging my curiosity. It just feels like there has to be more to this.

[carmesi]

You just hated being cooped up.
I also thing there is more to this, and I don’t think it’s very related to what Josselyn was doing. I’ll keep you posted.

[assembles]

Why do you think it's unrelated?

[carmesi]

Gut feeling. It's just... unlike what she was involved in.

[assembles]

Yeah, fair point. It strikes me as different too. Especially since some similar evidence was found in the desert, nowhere near Solvunn.

[carmesi]

Do you know who was the one who found that evidence in the desert? Or do they prefer anonymity? Hilda mentioned it a bit.

[assembles]

I think he's trying not to spread it around too much, but he definitely wouldn't mind me telling you.
Sam was one of the people involved. Just keep that between us Avengers for now, though.

[carmesi]

[his trip to the desert was a while back... hm.]

I'll report directly to you, then. Until he doesn't mind having a middle man about it anyway.

[assembles]

I'm sure he wouldn't mind you hitting him up either. Whichever works.

[ Interchangeable Captains. ]

[carmesi]

Then I trust you'll fill him in on what I'm doing so I have less context to provide if I randomly start talking to him about lizards.

[assembles]

[ A fair point. ]

Sure, sounds like a plan.
Thanks again, Wanda.
