Summary
It should be easier to live having the world's knowledge at your fingertips, yet it has pulled you so deep beneath the waves that you're unsure you'll ever resurface in your own mind. Valentina had promised to let you get all that information out of your head that you’d no longer be confined within your own head, your own darkness, but nothing stays well forever. You know this.
Despite knowing, it doesn’t make you prepared to meet Bob, or Yelena or any of them, and it’s strange to have hope bloom within your chest. Hopefully you’ll all make it out of this. Hopefully the hope can grow into something more and not lie rotting in the ash.
Right?

Summary
Out of any of the Thunderbolts who could have ended up in this situation, why did it have to be them.
Yelena is battered at her knees, the only person who they knew for a fact wouldn't survive a bullet to the skull. The only one that they'd ever be able to keep down, the only reasonable hostage.
And John is just stupid enough, just terrible enough that he'll do anything to save her. He'd kill a man, kill himself if he needed, if it meant that she didn't die here.

Summary
“You think you’re ready to get back out there?” Bob asks.
Walker sucks in a deep breath and lets it out slowly before meeting Bob’s eyes, “Honestly, the thought terrifies me.”
Bob frowns, “Nothing terrifies you.”
“I wouldn’t know what to do,” Walker confesses. The lack of confidence in his voice is jarring to Bob’s ears.
“You could practise on me,” He offers.

When Bob discovers that Walker is scared to date because the only experience he has is with his ex-wife, he offers to help him out. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“What do you remember?” Walker asked before grunting and closing his eyes, shifting his weight slightly to the side. The concrete above them shifted with his movement and Yelena quickly turned her head to the side to avoid getting concrete dust in her eyes and nose.
“Clearing the shopping center,” she replied before coughing at the burn of dust reaching her throat despite her best effort to shield herself. Walker murmured an apology and stopped moving. A few seconds passed before the dust settled enough for Yelena to be able to take a deep breath. She frowned again as she thought back to everything that had happened: clearing every floor, a call that there were civilians trapped in the elevator, Walker pulling the doors open and guiding the civilians to safety. “You were out. Why did you come back in?”
Walker offered a smile, but it was just as strained as his voice. He exhaled slowly and cleared his throat before replying, “My job wasn’t over yet.”
“You got all of the civilians to safety,” Yelena said slowly and Walker’s smile flickered slightly.
“But you were still in there,” he said quietly.

Summary
Walker didn’t look up.
He was trembling. It was a barely visible shake, but a fine tension ran through every muscle in his body. Bob could only see it in the way his fingers curled slightly and his shoulders hitched on every exhale. The man ripped the knife out of his thigh and Walker doubled forward, lips pressed into a thin, white line as he exhaled forcefully, but still didn’t make a sound.
“Still nothing?” the man asked quietly. His voice was almost conversational in how bored he seemed. “You think you can outlast me?”
Walker swallowed and slowly straightened up; blood was oozing from his thigh. He met the man’s eyes and the man raised his eyebrows expectantly, “You talk too much.”

Summary
Flannel half-buttoned, hair sticking up like he’d just rolled out of bed, stood a kid. His face was flushed, his hands trembling from the sprint.
“Uh. Hi.” His voice cracked, mortifyingly, echoing off the Vault walls. “Name’s Wrett Robinson. Val sent me. Said I was supposed to capture you.”
Or: Valentina's reached a new low, and hired a child to work for O.X.E. When she sends her youngest (and most inexperienced) operative, a speedster name Wrett Robinson, into the Vault, what happens?

Summary
Bob watched Bucky’s hands closely. The left one flexed and twitched almost unconsciously – the metal plates caught the light from the lamp above and sent a dull reflection in every direction – but the right hand was still, gripping the arm of the chair as if it was the only thing keeping him grounded. Bob hesitated at the doorway. He wasn’t always good at reading people, at reading silences, at figuring out tone, but even he could tell the energy in the room was dangerous. After a few minutes of too-tense silence, he decided to throw caution to the wind and try anyway, “Hey, uh…is everyone good? That was…messy.”
“We are fine,” Yelena said shortly, not even looking up as she reassembled her gun in smoother motions than Bob could tie his shoes. “Walker was just dramatic.”
“Was not.”
“Was too.”
