he who hesitates is toast

Philips, unsurprisingly, is up and working, and he listens without comment as Steve and Peggy give him a brief report. "Too bad," he says, when they've finished. "I'll get the details from Stark in the morning. Thank you both."

Back out in the clear night air, Steve paces by Peggy's side, lost in thought. She's as quiet as he is, and he thinks they're both concerned about the same things, for different reasons. He wishes her a good night as she heads off to check on Sharon, then stays still a moment, looking up at the stars before he directs his own steps towards Bucky's tent, planning to wait there until Bucky returns.

He'll bunk there tonight, if Bucky lets him. Somehow he thinks his best friend might need the company.
