I was wondering about that. Seems like it would be a danger.

[They are having a very professional conversation here, Rogers. And it's not about you. Isn't that good enough?]

Thought maybe you'd use a barrier.

[She smiles a little.]

Clearly I shouldn't underestimate your tools.

[uprightness]

It knocks them out?

[ he does have to snort a bit, why is even surprised? he looks back at the pair of them ]

How much of that stuff needs to be -

[ you know what, no. it's probably one of honestly-don't-need-to-know questions. ]

Nevermind.

[mucked]

[ don't worry, steve. if peggy has her way, she'll have sweet dreams 003 in her possession soon enough and she can offer demonstrations. ]

We have good gadgetry at the SSR. And if there's something I can't source through them, I know I can always lean on Howard. [ ... ] I'm sure the tools are different, but I imagine it's much the same in 2015. [ a pause while she eyes natasha. ] Or 2016.

When everything's going well.

[Right now, back home, Natasha can't exactly reach out to Tony or SHIELD.

But the Black Widow wouldn't be entirely without resources.]

Even when you don't have gadgets, there's a lot a good agent can do.

[uprightness]

In the end, they're just that, gadgets, technology, they're props. What makes a good - soldier, agent, anything, is thinking on their feet and having their hearts in the right place. technology changes, that those things don't.

[ two cases in point are his company today, as it happens. ]

[mucked]

Are you giving a masterclass, Captain Rogers?

[outstandingbalance]

I think he's looking for an excuse not to modernize.

[uprightness]

It has nothing to do with that -

[ dryly, as close as he can get to an eye roll. ]

It's just that we shouldn't be dependent on those. Everyone got technology, we've got people, that matters more.

[mucked]

There are times when you need something a little more subtle than a right hook. [ ... ] And a lot more admissible in court than your photographic memory.

[ she wags a finger. ] Like when you need to bug an exclusive villainous and secret society when they don't exactly allow women through their doors.

[outstandingbalance]

She has you on that one, Steve.

[uprightness]

She usually does.

[ he admits at once. ]

Which goes to show the importance of having a team, really.

[mucked]

[ -- did he just turn this around into a lesson on teamwork? oh her giddy aunt nora... ]

Some days, I pity your recruits.

[outstandingbalance]

Oh, don't. At least not for that.

[They put up with a lot worse.]
