NOVEMBER 10, 2019 — AVENGERS COMPOUND — RÉA
The day we leave the hotel and head back to the compound, I'm in a better headspace, as is Bucky. Things aren't gumdrops and rainbows, but they don't seem as bleak and devastating as they did.
We arrive back at the compound not long after lunchtime; Tony meets us in the garage—presumably alerted to our arrival by F.R.I.D.A.Y.—carrying two paperback-sized dry erase boards and a couple of markers. He climbs into the car and hands one to Bucky, keeping the other and scrawling a message.
5 A/V cameras removed from Réa's suite + balcony
I expected it to be a lot, but didn't quite expect that many. And I didn't expect there to be any on the balcony. For a moment, I feel as if the wind has been knocked out of me, but I refuse to let this take any more of the little bit of peace I've fought so hard to get back, and I simply nod in response.
Bucky uncaps a marker and writes a response.
Did you get a trace on the feeds?
Tony shakes his head.
