Summary
“Did you want to talk about anything?” she asked before she could lose her nerve about it.
“What, um,” he said, and immediately there was the guard on his face, the mask. “What did— what do I— what do you think I might want to talk about?”
Yelena swallowed. The doors were still open. “Oh, I don’t know. Uh, like the, uh, crazy things my dad says. Like, maybe if you wanted to talk about that, I thought, you know, you could come in and we could talk about that.”
Bob didn’t move for a moment. His dark eyes were fixed on the floor, on the crack between the elevator and the floor to her room. On the void between, tiny and endless, a crack of pitch blackness in the building that eyes never saw and a finger couldn’t fit into, but a void all the same. “Do you… want to talk about that?” he asked, his voice quiet and low and cautious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the aftermath of the Void, Bob and Yelena work through some stuff together.

Summary
A shadow moves through his blurry vision. It stops at the foot of his bed.
“Hi, Bob.” Yelena plops down on his comforter by his feet, afflicted. “So, quick question. How would you feel about sneaking out in the middle of the night to do things I cannot disclose but will go and do anyway, and also would you still like me if I was a worm?”
The stream of words slip in one ear and exit out the other, barely registering as he flutters his eyes, trying to keep up. He does, however, retain enough that his sleep-addled brain manages to provide one simple thought.
Oh. This is what having a best friend is like.
And then, out of nowhere, two other, more worrying simultaneous thoughts:
‘Why a worm of all things?’ and ‘I’m ruining this friendship immediately.’
Or: RIP Bob Reynolds, Studio Killers sang it better.

Summary
Bob isn’t sure what sparks the idea in his mind. Maybe it’s the disappointment in Yelena’s gaze as she stares at the book in his lap. Maybe it’s the way he knows she’d do it for him if he asked.
And maybe it's because he would do just about anything to keep that light inside her from dimming.
“I could read it to you,” he offers.

Or, Bob and Yelena, falling in love quietly from one page to the next.

Summary
Three months after New York was swallowed by a nightmarish blanket of psychological agony, Robert Reynolds was once again just Bob.
And Just Bob liked boring French New Wave and Depeche Mode and pictures of baby Highland cows. He stacked fries in his burgers like Jenga towers. He liked Jane Kenyon, Allen Ginsberg. Made a mean Lasagna alla Bolognese. Played guitar (kind of). Knew how to jumpstart a car (pretty well, actually). He liked chess.
He’d spent most of his life high, bridging sober gaps with odd jobs and side hustles and jail. He’d stolen from everyone who cared enough to let him into their home.
Robert Reynolds wasn’t Sentry, he wasn’t the Void—but he had been.
Wasn't it only a matter of time before he would be again?
After the Void descended on New York, Yelena adjusts to the life her sister led—dealing with PR managers, government endorsements, and a team she’s only recently learned to tolerate.
And then there’s the Bob thing.
And the Bob thing is super fucking complicated.- Language:
