    Summary

    “How do they do it? Boxed in like that. Back to the only open space around you? Sitting around all day. Nothing to do...” Clint’s voice is tinny through the comms. “Ooh, if you see any decent munchies, snag me a few. I missed dinner.”

    “Hey, bird brain, focus. If we’re too late getting back, I can’t pick up Alpine from Kate’s till late tomorrow.” Bucky’s voice is low, while the building should be empty, they aren’t able to watch all the entrances from Clint’s angle on the opposite building. A lot of this relies on the element of surprise and stealth.

    "Dude, you just walked past a break room.”

    “Are you looking for stray guards, or are you looking for snacks?”

    “Both, of course.” Clint scoffs on the open mic. “Wait! Nine o'clock!”

    Bucky growls but reaches out and grabs a handful of caramels from a desk and puts them in the breast pocket of his tactical vest.

    “You’re the best.”

    “Shut up, Barton.”

    Summary

    She doesn’t condescend to him by explaining what he already understands, instead jumping to the first possible solution. “Do you know how to reactivate your vocal processors?”

    He shakes his head, dazed, and feels that he’s failed something.

    Gamora’s dress makes shifting sounds as she crosses her arms. Then she earns his pathetic, eternal gratitude by asking, “How long will it take you to learn?”

    (Rocket loses his voice.)

    Summary

    To most people, John probably looks the perfect little soldier, despite some previous, minor hiccups. In reality, he's teetering on the edge of suicide. Not that he'd call it that. He just wants his death to mean something, okay?

    Summary

    “Anybody broken?” He hears Bucky say, somewhere further back, and increases his pace. It’s not like he’s embarrassed about getting hit, has been in the line of fire long enough to know that there’s no shame in it, and yet somehow, with this team, he has the overwhelming urge to show as little weakness as possible.

    Yelena would have a field day with that line of thinking, would lecture him about trust issues and team cohesion and a slew of other complaints, but what she doesn’t know won’t kill her.

    It’s not like any of them trust him, anyway, so it’s all a bit hypocritical.
