[ She almost, almost quips that he'll have to come back alive first, but she doesn't want to argue about that again. She'll just have to be ready to jump in if she has to. Hopefully, she won't have to. ]

There's plenty more I can help you with. For one, getting you suited up. Whenever you're ready, Captain.

[ Time might be ticking, but of course she's not letting him leave without a proper sendoff. For luck. And to remind him what he'll be leaving behind if he doesn't come back. ]

[ He's hoping that he can prove that damn track record wrong and actually come back without needing her or anyone else to come in and save his ass. If he can manage that, then he thinks he might be turning their luck around. He knows it's a two way street, the way they worry about each other but he can't help it that he feels like he's given her more than her fair share of it. He might be Captain America, but damn if he didn't want to give her a moment or two where she could breathe easily for a while and not worry about if he's gonna go on a major mission and not make it back again. ]

I dunno, sounds a lot to me like you're not lookin' to get me in the suit. I'm gonna have to give you something to look forward to for when I get back from this, just for that.

Well I first have to get you in it so I can take you out of it, right?

[ Though in actuality it often takes quite a while before they get to that part. They've both almost always needed to decompress after a fight, which mostly involves getting cleaned up and comfortable and just... holding one another. It's usually much later when the playful intimacy comes in. When it feels safe enough. Not just safe from their surroundings, but... safe enough that they can't hurt the other, accidentally or otherwise. ]

Are you, now? You're gonna, what, remove all your weapons before you get back in here so we don't have to keep stopping every five seconds?

You think it counts much for getting me in it if you're trying to take it off right after?

[ It's never so easy - even before he had his Captain America suit - to just get in and out of combat gear because of how heavily armed they are. The both of them. And sometimes it's hit or miss on what the driving need is after a mission, because while it doesn't happen all that often anymore, he can feel haunted after a fight depending on the feelings that it brings up. He's been fighting for as long as he can remember ( with only brief reprieves from it here and there ) and that's something that leaves marks, scars and a trail of blood that isn't easily washed away. ]

Here I thought you liked that 'cause it builds anticipation. I can make sure the bulk of 'em are removed, just to save some time.

No, but we can pretend that it does.

[ What? She'll take any excuse to get him out of anything... or, well, clothes, at least. She'd like to think she's done getting him out of enemy camps and warzones, though she's always ready to suit up herself whenever he's out on a mission. It might not be in her job description, but it's part of their wedding vows somewhere. ]

Well you said you were gonna give me a treat. And I'll be here barely armed, it's not fair that I suffer and you don't.

[ Barely, because of course she's still armed. ]

Guess if I needed incentive to suit up, it's that.

[ He'll take her getting him out of clothes any day. He's hoping the other things she's gotten him out of, that's a thing of the past - if he has anything to say about it. It's not how he wants the situation going and he tries to avoid it each time if he can, but he knows not a lot is within his power. He might have all the serum gave him and an arm that's even stronger than his flesh one, but it doesn't mean he's all-powerful and capable of doing more than what his body will allow. ]

And if I'm making a show of it when I'm getting the weapons and my suit outta the way?

Oh, a show. That is a treat. I'm in. Take all the weapons you like.

[ He's going to be insufferable and infuriating but that's also like, really hot. She's always enjoyed that side of him, though she's only had glimpses and short bursts of it over the years on account of, well, everything that's happened since the Zola mission. They never really came back from that. ]
