[His mouth subtly presses into a tight, thin line before he comes to a decision.] We should swing by their rovers.
[He knows the range of the black-glass devices can stretch across the planet. So if they're getting a message telling them that they were out of their coverage area, he's almost sure he already knows what they're going to find. But maybe there would be evidence. Or their rover mates would know something.]
[ A grim nod of agreement and he inclines his head in the direction they need to go, starting to walk.
They hit Natasha's first, for a fat load of nothing. No one to answer the door and he's getting the feeling that's not a coincidence. Not much to say once they're sure no one's there, and not feeling too great going to the next rover - he's noticeably more tense as they head that way.
Stopping in front of Banner's to let Tony knock this time. ]
[They go to Natasha's rover first, but nobody was home. He wasn't sure what he had been expecting--if he had even thought deep down that it would work regardless of what their black glass devices said--but he still feels the pit of his stomach drop when she's not there.
So by the time Steve and Tony reach Bruce's rover, he doesn't try to make his knocking on the door sound casual. He bangs four times in loud and rapid succession and then waits. The line of his shoulders pulled tighter than a bowstring and his lips pressed together, but he has his back turned to Steve so he can't see any change in his expression.]
