[ Since the acolyte doesn't seem to be questioning her decision and the other captive is taking a moment to catch her breath after everything, that leaves Nero to get to his plan. Which turns out to involve him trying to fly.
Sure, Steve had heard about the wings when they made their plan to catch that monster in the tunnel. He hadn't really had the chance to see them, but he'd known about them in theory. The fact that Nero's immediately going to try and spread those wings to fly after they just got out here is a choice, but 1) he doesn't really give Steve a chance to protest, and 2) they are in a desperation situation and need as much information about their circumstances as they can get. ]
Can do.
[ But then Nero's off, wings spreading as he rockets up past the trees. It's an impressive things to watch, though Steve's seen Thor do it enough times that he's not all that perturbed by it.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like their powers have returned completely. That or something else happened, maybe he clipped a tree, but what matters is that Nero is now hurtling back toward the ground. ]
Shit—
[ Steve races forward, eyes locking on Nero's falling body as he calculates where he needs to be to safely catch him. He manages to get into position just in time, but all of Nero's weight catapulting into his arms sends him falling to the hard ground. If his full strength was back, maybe that wouldn't have been the case, but they both end up in a messy pile of limbs, wings, and a tail.
Steve takes a moment to catch his breath, but then asks: ] You all right?
