When Steve decided to use the elevator, he nodded and headed up the stairs to the apartment. He wanted to time it so that they reached the area first, but he was pleased when he reached the landing first and walked over the elevator to await it. Clearly it had stopped at the fourth floor to pick up some people, yet he was curious when it didn't ascend further. He waited patiently before nothing happened after a few minutes and then pressed the button for the seventh floor. Nothing.
He knew how to break into elevators, especially older ones. He slipped his metal fingers between the doors and flipped the latch to manually open the doors. He then peered down the shaft for signs that the elevator was rising. It wasn't. He sighed and grabbed the cables, sliding down until he found the elevator stuck with brakes engaged on the fourth floor. It was clearly a malfunction, and he crouched down before pulling open the maintenance door to peer at Steve in the elevator. "I leave you alone for a single trip up a flight of stairs, and you break the elevator?"
