#oh wow. this is so great! batroc seems to be a really fun character. and gosh just look at his clothes and his smug flirty face  #I think everyone (villains included) hve a bit of a crush on cap. hard not to  #I like to think that some of Steve's inspiration when designing his nomad suit came experiences like this  #(batroc using cheesy lines in french thinking steve doesn't know any but yeah Steve may have learned a bit in france and he blushes)  #oú as-tu caché tes ailes? (where did you hide your wings?)  #Belle paire de jambes. Elle ouvrent à quelle heure? (Pretty legs. When do they open?)  #I'm sitting here trying to remember the cheesiest pick up lines in french that I know. I can picture Batroc saying every single one 

OMG YES THOSE PICKUP LINES ARE PERFECT.  And Steve totally did pick up French during the war, right? SO.  He’s just like blushing so much and grinning, like?

It's only chance that he looks up from inspecting the tomatos, but he does and his eyes instantly lock onto a familiar face. Batroc. Before Steve can walk away, because everyone has a right to shop for food and Batroc isn't doing anything nefarious, Batroc looks up and their eyes lock. 

Steve should have done an about face when he'd spotted Batroc, because the other man had the ability to get under Steves skin in a way that very few people could. He smirks at Steve, and Steve can't help but narrow his eyes in return. 

"Well, well, Captain." And even his stupidly accented voice makes Steve clench his fists, squishing the tomato he was still holding. The feeling of pulverised tomato sliding through his fingers did not help. Batroc only smirked wider and Steve, not wanting to get into a fight in the middle of a grocery store, does the only thing he can in retaliation. 

He throws the tomato pulp across the fresh produce and hits Batroc in his smug, handsome face. The mercenary blinks a few times, before he wipes the tomato off his forehead and cheek. The splat noise it made drew the attention of Tony, who he'd coerced into coming on the trip with him, as well as a few other patrons. 

"Comment très immature." He taunts, before grabbing the fruit in front of him and lobbing it at Steve, who swats the avocado away, only for it to burst open on impact with the ground. 

Steve grabs another tomato, ignoring the sound of Tony muttering 'not again,' and pegs it at Batroc, who dodges with all the grace Steve knows he possesses. And then it's an all out food war in the grocery section, other shopper scrambling out of the way as Steve and Batroc make their way around the fruit and vegetables, dodging most of the projectiles, mainly being his with reflected splatter as the produce meets an untimely death upon impact with the floor and walls, sometimes even other fruit. 

Steve tackles Batroc through one of the displays, continuing to ignore Tony as he bitches at them, something about 'repressed sexual tension' and 'homoerotic urges,' and then pair of them are rolling through the ruined section of the grocery store, trading punches when there's enough room. 

They pause when the manager comes rushing out, though, shouting and waving his arms around. Tony steps in, then, wrapping an arm around the mans shoulders. 

"I'll foot the bill, don't worry. I'll even make sure they leave before clothes start coming off." He promises, before looking back towards where Steve and Batroc have stopped trying to beat the shit out each other and instead are trying to tear each others clothes off.
