Not at all. But as far as they know, the team they're coming back for hasn't failed spectacularly. They think they're coming to help finish the job.
[ That the job in question was to terrorize a civilian, and a minor at that, makes Steve's blood boil. The Watchdogs are lucky he isn't the type to kick a man while he's down. ]
Let's get moving. [ The backup team should already be on the way, and as much as Steve would like to be here to give them a piece of his mind, the strategic move is to watch from the rooftop and follow them back to their hiding place. They'll help many more Inhumans by hitting the Watchdogs where they live.
The outer entrance to the stairwell is locked, but it doesn't take much to force the handle. He pulls open the door and nods back at Daisy. ] After you.
[ one after the other, a private joke she keeps in her thoughts; instead of voicing that petty contradiction, daisy sprints through the now-open doorway and up the stairs, taking the landings two at a time on boots that thump and shake the rusted handrail as she goes. ]
Come on, Cap, you can't skip leg day.
[ from ground to roof is at least four stories. maybe more. daisy didn't exactly go looking for easy access when she was smashing skulls with yo-yo earlier.
and, if she's totally honest, it would be her luck to get the tall building with no elevator. ]
That they are. [ He won't soon forget the petrified faces of Inhumans who were just trying to go about their lives before the Watchdogs made that impossible. Daisy and her team of Secret Warriors are doing important work but they can't be everywhere, and targeting the base of Watchdog operations is the only way they can protect more than a few individuals at a time. It's about turning the tide of rising hate crimes against Inhumans, but Steve would be lying if he said he wasn't looking forward to showing the Watchdogs exactly what he thinks of their organization. Many of them fancy themselves the "true patriots" and Steve intends to disabuse them of that notion.
It turns out to be five stories, and Steve takes the last flight of stairs two at a time so he can sprint past Daisy and hold open the roof access door. He wants to be the first through the door just in case the Watchdogs had lookouts stationed up here. It's just a precaution; they're a dangerous group but they aren't that well-organized. Yet. Steve hopes to keep them from advancing. ]
Coast is clear. Come on, they shouldn't be long now.
the watchdogs are many things. motivated by hate and xenophobia, drawn to people like themselves in an attempt to bolster their own sense of power and position, reckless and a little stupid — but law-abiding really isn't one of them. she doesn't exactly think that whatever backup might be dispatched by their glorified whatsapp group will be planning on stopping for red lights. ]
Let's just hope we get lucky. I've started to see 'sovereign citizen' chatter on the web with these guys, but it's not too wide-spread yet. Hopefully these guys leave their license plates on.
[ she can track them, then. avoid having to get too close in the chase sequence. shield surveillance is a handy thing. ]
