It wasn't that he was avoiding the doors, people were going through them and returning, it seemed safe enough and a good way to expand on what they had. There were things Tony needed to upgrade the systems he was working on, tools and materials they'd need to make them more comfortable but Steve hadn't ventured through yet. There was actually plenty to do there to keep him busy, people were arriving and Steve wanted to make them feel comfortable. Of course there was also that he wanted to meet everyone and get a feel for them, so if there was a problem it didn't take him by surprise.

Not to mention Steve would be kidding himself if he didn't say there were moments of the quiet life that he enjoyed. That morning cups of coffee in hand he and Tony had walked along the water, not saying much just wordlessly taking the long way back to their house. There wasn't anywhere to rush to or worry about and it was quiet.

But Steve's latest project was a gym, so he'd come out to find some good sized trees to become the corners of a good old fashioned boxing ring. He'd already sized up a few, getting them the same size would help down the track.

Carol had been settling in alright. She'd met a few residents, but not all. It felt like people were scattered or busy with their own projects much of the time, and while the town was small, people generally kept to themselves if they were new. Which most of them were. But Carol wasn't one to shy away from people naturally. She wasn't exactly looking for friends, but it wasn't in her nature to sit still and twiddle her thumbs. She needed to be kept busy. Otherwise, she would go stir crazy.

Unfortunately for her, there wasn't much need for help at the moment and that just left her with two things to do. Sit and think (something which she wasn't a big fan of) or get out and do something. Right now, that something was a jog. Carol didn't exactly need to work out, but the physical activity helped her to clear her thoughts. And it was a good way to get to know her new surroundings. She'd even been lucky to get a pair of decent sweats from Jan (who somehow seemed to always have what she needed), so why not put them to good use?

She had decided to take the scenic route through the woods when she came across anyone else. But, there he was standing amongst the trees and seeming to be lost in some sort of thought. She slowed down, cocking her head and realizing after a moment who she was looking at. "Well if it isn't Captain America himself."

Carol would be kidding herself if she denied being just a little bit excited about having a childhood hero standing before her. Of course, she recognized him from the old movie reels and photos. But, she kept her cool on the outside as she walked over.

"Carol Danvers. We met on the communications system." She resisted the urge to salute, holding out a hand and hoping that would come across as somehow less awkward.

Steve knew when someone was coming, it was hard to sneak up on him and he knew that whoever was coming wasn't trying to do that. When she slowed Steve turned, especially when she knew him by name. Well by one of his names. He'd spent a lot of time under the ice and he'd missed a lot, only to come back and then end up a wanted criminal, so there was lots that he'd missed. Like Carol.

She introduced herself as she approached and Steve's smile widened as he held out his hand to meet her in the middle. "Carol, yes, it's good to meet you," Steve said, as genuine as the day was long. Steve loved hearing stories like Carol's, how she'd become a pilot, after living in the 1940's he'd seen how hard Peggy had worked for the respect that should have been given to her freely. Women like Peggy and Carol, well they should have been the ones on the television and in the comics.

As much as he tried to greet everyone he also didn't want to give the false idea he was somehow in charge. It wasn't a big place and in time he'd met most people just by going about his day.

"I'm just looking for a few trees about the same size, we're building a boxing ring to go in the gym," Steve explained so that it didn't look like he was out here alone talking to nature.
