See, Steve's romantic idea is more along the lines of finding somewhere quiet in the country where they can build or renovate a big studio space that's half his art and half Tony's engineering. Except realistically it would end up being one-tenth his art and nine-tenth's Tony's space, because watercolors don't require as much workspace and he just has this feeling Tony's inclined to spreading out. That's kind of a long way from Space Piracy, but maybe he could be talked into it. They won't really belong on the planet, anyway.

So much for the off-Broadway musical, though.

"We're probably going to have to face Barton," he observes. "But apparently if we hit him really hard in the head he'll snap out of it."

They'll just need the element of surprise there, because if he gets one of them in his sights...well, he never misses.

"So, we can hit the Cube there, before they use it to open the portal to the Chitauri army." That's good. That'll prevent a lot of damage. "And then what? Get up to the helicarrier and destroy the scepter from there?"

Haha, there's the part that'll get interesting, because it'll be right under Tony and Banner's noses, with various other Avengers and SHIELD personnel in close proximity. Some part of Steve--the part of him that enjoys trolling, perhaps--kind of wants to do that just to see the reactions. His lips press together in a thin line, but it's not sternness or disapproval. He's trying not to laugh.
