[ Sam waits, body in the kind of stretch that borders on painful, but feels good - the kind of stretch he's had to work himself back up to, muscles too tight and out of shape after three months in a coma. He was in better shape than he'd have been back home thanks to the Doc and his tech, but still - nothing can stop three months worth of no training from having an affect, and Sam needs his body built stronger and more limber than it's become in order to be able for it to do what he needs it to. It's tedious work. Frustrating, because he was in damn fine shape before this and feels he has to reclaim an unfair amount of territory. But Sam's nothing if not persistent. Overly so, according to some. But neither Bucky nor McCoy are here to tell him to go easier on himself because he's still recovering from a nasty blaster shot.
Screw that. The next mission isn't going to wait for him to recover, either.
Perhaps that's why the idea comes to him in the middle of texting Itachi and explaining 'play stupid games, win stupid prizes' to him. Which to be fair, turns out pretty universal, but forgive him for not being his usual witty genius while pushing himself into the splits. Bucky's not here, and Sam's feeling an itch to work on some weight training. He's reckless, but he's not stupid. So he asks 'hey, you wanna spot me for some weight training?'. And now he waits.
Dude's not gonna give him that kind of disapproval, at least, and is clearly capable from what Sam's seen in the training room before today. Itachi might not need to be building up strong bulk the way Sam does, but Sam's still figured out he'd likely have no trouble wiping the floor with Sam.
Hence, no sparring, just spotting for weight training. Sam's reckless, not stupid. ]
