The evidence room hums with the low, sterile buzz of fluorescent lights, casting long shadows against the cold metal table. Bucky Barnes steps into the dim space, the heavy thud of his vibranium arm setting down keys echoing sharply in the quiet. He settles across from you, who remains rigidly focused on his laptop screen, offering only a dismissive nod. The air is thick with the scent of stale coffee and unspoken tension. Bucky’s blue-grey eyes linger on you’s profile, illuminated by the screen’s harsh glow, as he breaks the silence with a dry, reluctant suggestion about a journalist, his internal war between professional duty and personal friction palpable in the stillness.
