He's not sure where he is. But looking around? This is not Ultra City, this is not the desert, and this is definitely not the Arctic.
James rolls his shoulder, having taken a hard hit on the shield, and that had radiated all the way to his spine. He puts the shield on his back, ready to fight, if necessary, but not seeing any people around. He's surrounded by greenery, and can hear a body of water near by.
The greenery rustles, and James finds himself face to snout with... well, that's a bear. It's a big black bear, and James is pretty sure it's more startled than he is, but not by much. Yelling, James starts running, not sure what he's supposed to do. He finds a tree and scrambles up it, just in time to miss being swiped by the big paw on that black bear. Panting, he scrambles a bit higher, wondering if black bears can climb trees.
The answer, he finds out, is yes. Yes, they can.
Yelping, James starts jumping from tree to tree, startling the birds and almost tripping over a squirrel or two. Panting, he plasters himself against the trunk of the tree. The black bear scrambles down out of the tree he'd originally been in, and then goes on its way. Okay, so maybe he'd told Pym to anger the Hulk. Maybe he'd been all gung ho about going into Ultra City and taking it back for humankind. But coming face to face with an actual bear?! No. No. Nope.
He'd take Azari sparking his foot when he's asleep anyday.
When he's pretty sure that the bear is gone, and that he's not going to run into any other interesting fauna, James drops out of the tree, rolling to his feet, immediately after landing. He starts walking in the direction of the water, hoping that maybe, just maybe, he only got separated from the rest of the Avengers. Torunn will be worried, Pym and Azari will make fun of him for getting lost, and Francis? Probably hadn't even noticed he was gone.
Sighing, he jumps down a rock formation, not realizing that he'd now tripped the alarm for a rather high tech building that is hidden by trees from his angle. If he'd known the building was there, he'd have gone in that direction. Instead, inside, a soft alarm starts going off, alerting the inhabitants to the presence of a human on the grounds of the compound. A small human, but the AI that runs the place has been programmed by the best to tell the difference between a bear, and a human.
