Re: Avengers Taco Tuesday
[Carol's cup didn't exactly do its intended job of hiding her expression, and Steve, after his own surprise at the size of the barrel shouldered in by Thor, caught the fleeting uncertainty there, the kind that doubled down on a curse, something that lingered on Bucky—or Tony? Or the barrel of ale. But Jess' entrance distracted him as well, and he smiled, pleased she was here—for Carol's sake. He'd taken a liking to her, the ghost of their past relationship spurred it, in part, but it was also a genuine appreciation for the woman. He watched her and Ms. Drew hug just before Pepper showed up. She spoke only to Dr. Banner, so Steve, after giving his own nods of greeting to Thor, to Jess, to Ms. Potts, polite but with a more restrained warmth, turned to his food.
Of course, he obliged and smiled at the comment about being a sous chef.] There's no sous without chef, Doctor.
