theycallmecapIt's been a long, long day, full of physical and emotional going-ons. After he stops by to see Sharon, displaying a lot more confidence than he feels by the time he gets to his quarters, Steve wants nothing more than a long shower and some sleep, and his shoulder keeps smarting. It's still weird to him, needing sleep and hurting so much - the things you get used to after just a few years spent as a super soldier.
He frowns at his bed when he gets to his quarters; it looks as if somebody else has slept in it while he was gone. The bedsheets are rumpled and he sets them right before heading to the bathroom, but after checking that his shield is still there. The hot shower does Steve's shoulder some good, but it's covered with bruises that won't go away for a few days, at least, not even with his weakened, but still better than normal recovery rate. He's pulling on a t-shirt when the door opens (with a twinge of pain at the way he has to move his arms), and he turns around to look who it is.

Zoe had needed a little time to recuperate from her piloting stunt, and his shoulder is a mess of bruises (fortunately hidden under his t-shirt), but that's the worst of it, which means they definitely got off okay. "We were in a town called Tombstone, back in the time of cowboys." Which he expects will make her think of Brisco, but there's no helping it. "And they were getting kidnapped and killed by aliens. So we kicked alien butt."

Newt managed to smile. Kicking alien butt was good. She liked people who could do that. And no one was badly hurt? Not the same kind of aliens then, but good all the same.
Wait a minute... "Kidnapped? Wha... what were they being kidnapped for?" Not egg carriers, please not egg carriers.

"But we destroyed their ship before they could report back. That Earth should stay clean, for now."

"Sorry I kinda crashed in here," Newt's cheeks flushed a bit.
