Yeah, how about the menace to this city gets out of here and lets the firemen handle digging up buildings. He waves at Cap before he swings away. 

if Sasha checks his phone he'll find a message from Asher:

whaddaya think of cap?

bit of a strong and silent type imo

he seemed friendly enough with the firemen once they showed up 

but yeah you're not wrong 

he seriously needs to get laid

...speaking of which, goddammit, he doesn't have Lev's number. He makes a note to get it on Monday. 

I haven't really talked to him when he's off-duty, I can't say 

I don't recommend it he's like 1000% more tolerable when he's on duty

I mean I'm not going to write him off before I even try 

idk maybe it's just that he knows you but he didn't get all worked up about the public menace thing at all and I like that in a guy 

oh man it's not me

whenever he talks about me he's like "asher is a good colleague and I respect his work" which is marlo for "I hate his guts"

I think it's cuz I hit on him that one time and he's super-straight

he seemed totally cool with Deadpool and Deadpool's...... Deadpool 

idk I don't know him really. from what I saw I liked him, tho 

well don't let me bias your opinion

he's definitely all professional when he's at work tho

and the rest of the time he thinks it's not star-spangled enough to actually hate people so he's all civil and shit

"able to be civil even if he hates someone" is a trait I like. do you know how much I wish more people had that trait. it's every single time I see a newspaper and sometimes more often than that 

I'm really bad at being civil to people I dislike but I like almost everyone, does that count

for sure 

He types "speaking of liking people," pauses for a moment to think about whether he wants to describe Lev, and elects not to. 

speaking of liking people why can't I hug people who are in Uganda 

eh I'm flying home today

if you're on top of stark tower at midnight you can get hugs

I can be on top of Stark Tower at midnight!! 

He is, in fact, on top of Stark Tower at midnight. 

And Asher is sitting there in blue jeans and a T-shirt sketching schematics for the new Starkphone.

Sasha sits next to him and hugs him. 

On the one hand, he wants to take the mask off. They're not on-duty. On the other hand, he really doesn't want Asher to see how old he is, or how old he isn't. 

"Hey." 

"Hey!"

Asher gives great hugs, because of course he does. 

"Oh you're warm," Sasha says without thinking. 

Asher is mildly surprised at himself when he responds to this by rubbing Sasha's back instead of by making a sarcastic comment about the normal human body temperature. 

Sasha curls into him, buries his face in Asher's shoulder. 

"You need to talk about something or you just want a hug?"

Soft humming sound. "There's nothing I particularly need to talk about. You just give good hugs." 

"I'm glad! My dad was great at hugs and I always want to carry on the Stark legacy."

Awww. "So how was Uganda?"
