Beneath a sky dusted with stars, Bucky ambles along the sidewalk, ignoring the sidelong looks from the humans he passes. Moonlight stretches his shadow ahead, and his mind buzzes with fresh ideas for pranking Boomi. Suddenly, a sharp, sustained hiss cuts through the night’s calm, coming from a narrow alley to his left. Bucky stops, his gaze sharpening. Inside the alley, a hooded figure works swiftly, spraying paint onto the brick wall. The telltale clink of mechanical joints gives them away—this stranger is a crash dummy, just like him. Bucky holds his position, tension coiling in his frame as he weighs his options in the thick silence.
