The fact that he couldn't actually hide was one of the reasons that he didn't like being in the Tower. He knew there was always something aware of him, and his instinct was always to hide when it was uncomfortable, and that was difficult when there was literally no where that the AI couldn't locate him. It also made potentially ambushing Steve in the hallways difficult and the air vents were really Hawkeye's thing rather than his own. He only needed to peer in once to know it and gave up to lurk somewhere else. Behind doors was his second best option.

He rolled with the shifted of Steve's arms, his right relinquishing its hold but the metal left staying clamped. He swayed with the attempt to dump him, and he lost his advantage as he tipped to the side. He corrected and suddenly had to abandon his spot, rolling off of Steve and coming up with the blankets to throw at his friend.
