as soon as he heard the sudden roars and the CLAWING at the ground beneath them, steve instantly turned back aroud to face tocho who was now starting his transformation into the mighty lionguard, the one who hydra needed to fear the most and by the looks on their faces right now? they were most definitely feeling the FEAR. smirk played upon the captain’s lips, words spoken underneath his breath with regards to his ally before raising the shield once again to face their enemies so that they could well and truly WIN this thing. ❛—-that’s my boy.❜ he knew that tocho couldn’t hear him, hell he could barely even hear his own words, but it was almost like a natural reaction to how PROUD he was to have someone so incredible fighting by his side. without another word however, steve allowed his feet to bound along the ground in the direction of the agents that had them surrounded, shield thrown in the hopes to knock them off their feet —- unable to stop thinking about how damn GOOD he and tocho were as a two-man team.
🐾 ⟶ there was only one track mind for the lionguard in action - KILL, despite the pep talks tocho had received from his superiors that tearing assets limb from limb wasn’t entirely necessary, but there was no controlling the beast once it was in play. it was blood-hungry, violent yet under the knowledge that the human wielding the shield was nothing short of a complete ally, someone that could be trusted when the whole world was red mist & destruction. so as steve allowed the metallic weaponry to slam into agents, knocking them flat on their back with no means of defense, it was almost as if the hero & the lion worked in fluid motion, ferocious being instantly upon such enemies in order to rip their HEART out. it took seconds before it was onto the next target, rabid roars & growls seeping from a mouth beginning to drip with crimson, only able to focus on slaughtering every single one of them until there was nobody left ( except for steve anyhow, the only one safe from lionguard’s brutal assault ).
