The equipment Bucky ordered comes in a shiny metal box that reminds him of the time the Wakandans offered him a new arm, a new war. But this time, Bucky isn’t fighting a war. He’s not even fighting. He’s observing. He’s setting up the binoculars near the window. He’s fine-tuning the microphones to an earpiece and a recording device. He’s making sure the motion sensors properly record movement and register in his computer.
It’s oddly reminiscent of some jobs he used to do for HYDRA. Although he wishes he could erase that part of his life, the time he spent observing and collecting data prove useful to him now.
The day outside is gloomy. The clouds seem to mock him, closing him into a space he’s been forced into anyway.
what if we went on a vacation to a cozy little cabin in some snowy mountains and after we get set up and unpacked with the fireplace roaring to warm us up, I ask you if you’re wearing panties. and when you tell me that you are I make you strip them off right there and throw them in the fire, telling you that if I catch you wearing any other pairs for the rest of the vacation that they’ll end up in the same place.
