Ā Ā Heās leaned back in his chair, tablet in hand and his feet propped up on the desk in front of him, when Steve walks in. The genius perks up some, far more interested in whatever the blond needs than his own work.Ā āSure, Cap,ā he puts down the tablet with a grin, sitting up straight,Ā āYou know I alwaysĀ love giving my opinion on things. Nice to get asked for it once in a while.āĀ
