Coulson was not supposed to be here. Or at least not for long. The plan was to show up just long enough to say hi and surprise his daughter with the part where he's off early (or as off as he ever is anyway). Then he got sidelined when he walked in, got sidelined again after getting a location, and got sidelined yet again when he went to where she had been (but wasn't anymore, apparently). Now he's been here almost forty minutes and has no idea where to look.
Because they are children and apparently he gets to play babysitter when he comes to visit.
He isn't stopping for anything else, though. He is going to find his daughter and no superhero, spy, overgrown children, or mixture thereof is going to stop him.
... It's a nice thought, really it is. Just an unlikely one.
Clint may have been part of why Coulson kept getting sidetracked, but even annoying his favorite handler/boss/overseer of all things Avenger is only entertaining for so long. He's up on the roof now. He likes the roof, and that's pretty visible from the amount of things up there that are his: targets and a few discarded arrows from prototypes that really weren't worth the time to fix up, balls that can either be tossed as targets or just tossed around for the hell of it, a gameboy that's basically been given up to the roof since he keeps forgetting it up here.
He's ignoring all that right now, though, for playing a balancing act on the edge of the roof, his eyes on his feet. His quiver and bow are slung over his shoulder, so he can grab one of the appropriate arrows if he missteps -- but he's pretty confident that he won't.
And Steve, well, he has a television. He's not entirely comfortable with how much down-time being a superhero leads to, but it's certainly helped in the whole 'get Captain America familiar with current pop culture' campaign half the team seems to have launched.
He's not actually watching anything in particular, just flipping through channels until something looks interesting. Mostly he is watching commercials or news stories. Somehow getting himself familiar with the news and the products feels a little more useful than getting himself familiar with the media in general.
