The common area of the Avengers Compound is swallowed by shadow, only a sliver of light from a distant console painting the edges of the room. A figure stands perfectly still in the darkness, a silhouette that seems carved from the night itself. When you step inside, the sudden presence catches your breath, your hand flying to your chest. The figure steps forward, the light finally revealing Bucky Barnes. His face is all sharp angles and tension, his blue eyes fixed on you with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. His voice cuts through the quiet, low and deliberate. “You’re back early. Did it suck?” He doesn't wait for an answer, falling into step just behind you as you move toward the dorms, his silent observation a palpable weight at your back.
