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.

Or rather, she is dropping a bowl of popcorn onto the table and then pouncing Steve.
"Hey," she says cheerfully, then stares at the TV before snatching up the remote and flipping the channels to something that isn't the news.
no subject
...He didn't really expect it would be staying on once she walked in the room, though, so he smiles a second later, making a move towards the end of the couch so that he's not taking up most of it anymore.
"Hi," he says, glancing at the TV again. "I didn't know you were here."
no subject
She flips through more channels, making aface after a couple of moments. "Man,there's nothing on. How do you guys have like a thousand channels and still have this problem?"

And shooting at him with a water gun.
She is the most mature.
no subject
What he doesn't know is behind him? Is a water gun.
See this linefacing when he turns around, Tasha? It is all for you this time.
"Can I help you?"
no subject
"You're it," she says cheerfully, tossing him a gun of his own.

She kicks her feet up and stretches an arm across the back of the couch. "Just wait til you see Jersey Shore," she comments.

It's just a second, though, and then he shakes his head a little and gives her a smile instead. "I'm not sure I see where you got part B from part A. I'd rather keep the braincells I've got."

She chuckles. She likes giving him a hard time. Probably too much.

He lets out a sharp whistle to alert Bruce to his presence, turning halfway around to get a better look at him. "Something on your mind, Doc?"
no subject
"Just taking a walk," he says. "What are you doing? Or...maybe I don't want to know."
no subject
He takes a couple of steps back from the edge, though, and there's a bundle of rope ladder in his hands when he reappears, ready to be tossed down. It's a really long ladder. This is not the tallest building he's ever tried to get down from without going inside. "You mind if I join you? Unless you'd rather come up."

>> << You love me.
Or rather, she's trying to work with the fire but it's more like playing.
"Watch out, watch out!" She calls as the fire shoots from the little candle she's playing with and through the target.
"Fuck," she curses, as it comes back. "That...did not work."
I really really do. :D
When he does, he just props himself up on his elbows, raising an eyebrow in her direction. "Do I want to ask what you were trying to do with that? Besides give me a heart attack?"
no subject
She looks up at him. "You okay?
no subject
...he asks, as if he actually understands magical theory.
no subject
"I'm better with illusions,"she adds after a second. "I can make you thin you're on fire but I can't actually light you up."
