Cap made his approach as silently as possible, trying not to attract other park-goers - he knew there was no point in trying to hide from the Punisher.

"I'm surprised you came." Frank Castle replied, slowly turning to face Cap. "I was expecting one or two of your associates, like Natasha or the archer." While his voice was stern, there was something in his tone, almost a measure of respect. "I'm guessing Stark told you why I contacted him in the first place? Magneto, after departing a run in with you, gets abducted by ..., well, there's no other way to describe them. They were power armoured Nazis. They drugged him with something , lugged him in a truck and took off." He held up a tracking monitor. "Managed to get a tracker them, but too many civilians around to intervene when he was taken." He flashed a hardened smile, "I couldn't think of anyone better to bust up a bunch Nazis than you."

Cap took in the information, then slowly nodded. "Alright, Captain Castle, this is your op. Lead the way."

"What, no ground rules? No 'we do it my way'?" Castle made air quotes before zippering up his jacket and pulling on his riding gloves. "You kind of surprise me, Captain, considering our track record." He started his bike, but held off starting his ride so Cap could answer him.

Cap didn't even make eye contact. "We have a credible threat that just neutralized one of the most powerful mutants on the planet. Time is clearly of the essence, and so is a need for cohesion; I don't need us butting heads while we do what's necessary. You're a professional, Captain Castle - if you think you can refrain from your usual mad dog tactics, do so. Otherwise? Again, I'm not interested in fighting you at the same time as the Nazis. You do it your way, I'll do it mine. As an aside? If these are Nazis? I've given them worse than you ever could, soldier. Now, less talking, and lead the way." Cap got on his bike.

“That is..., absolutely the last answer I expected from you. Luckily, I think this calls for a bit of restraint.” Castle replied, starting his ride. “Whoever is behind this is smart enough to figure out how to take down, and obviously contain Magneto. Last thing I want is for them to see us coming.” He slipped on a full face helmet and rode off
The tracker led them out of the city , through Holland tunnel and north into Hoboken. Castle finally motioned for them to pull over, motioning towards the gates for a private school. The sign on the fence said it was Simonson’s Institute of Technology. Once they stopped, Castle looked at Cap, “Which is more ironic, the fact that they are in a school devoted to science, or the fact that that is definitely not a german name on the building.” He smirked, ditching his helmet and pulling out a small duffel he slung over his shoulder.
. “Over the wall?” He suggested, awaiting Cap’s input.

Cap nodded his agreement, taking position next to the wall. "I'll get you over, then you cover me while I climb." He cupped his hands and waited for Frank to run so he could get him over the fence.

Castle hesitated before jogging towards Cap. He timed his leap so he landed squarely on Cap's hands and he flung upward. Instead of going over however, he landed prone on top of the wall and then reached down to to help Steve over, "Pretty sure the last time I offered a hand to you I ended up missing teeth." He smirked.

"Focus on the job at hand, Marine. Or do you need an old Army grunt to show you how it's done?" Cap took the hand and climbed up.

Once Cap was up on top of the wall, Frank got to his feet, "The risk of the pot calling the kettle black, an old soldier know better to let the mission consume them or they might lose focus," he said softly, motioning to a pair walking between two buildings. At first they simply looked like a pair of students walking back to their dorm, but Castle pulled out a small pair of binoculars, took an look before offering them to Steve, "They're both packing. Starting to feel like maybe it's not just a few bad apples and we might have stumbled on a whole rotten tree. Take a look, but we might be over our heads here." He said before dropping down to the ground.

Cap took a quick look with the binoculars. "Doesn't matter how bit the tree is, we'll cut it down. Back-up will take too long, so let's get in, find out what we can, and then see what we can do to stop it." Cap hopped down and began moving forward.

“I like the way you’re thinking.” Castle replied as they waited for the guards to be out of site before dropping to the ground. He opened the duffel and slipped on an overloaded battle harness and a gunbelt more befitting is the Wild West except for the silenced automatic pistols in the holsters. Tucking the empty bag out of sight, he removed a tracker from a belt pouch. “The truck is that way.. Two o’clock.” He motioned towards a lone building. “The cafeteria?”

Cap nodded. "Move in. I'll take point." He steadied his shield on his arm. "Make every shot count, if it comes to that."

"You say the nicest things." Castle smirked as he used the shadows to cross the compound. They were nearly there when another pairing appeared crossing their paths. The Punisher's pistol was in hand instantly, but he held his fire as they passed by without noticing the two old soldiers in the shadows. They walked from sight and he was on the move again, moving up until they were as far as they could go without walking out in the open. "We've got a problem." He said, pointing to the building. "I count at least three cameras and I'm betting on more, and up top that dish looks more like a sensor suite than satellite tv to me. I think we better find another way in."
He paused before looking at the building they stood in the shadows of, " service tunnels maybe? Or just tackle a patrol?"

Cap carefully weighed the risks of each strategy; finding the service tunnels would take time, if such tunnels were even present, while taking out a pair of guards could lead to discovery, it was also faster. "We can't waste time looking for tunnels that may not be there." He then looked for a pair that roughly matched the pairs builds.
