Summary
“Then you guys came in and he took off.” She nodded, folding her hands tightly in her lap, indicating that she was done talking.
“How’s your head, by the way,” Officer Freeman asked, when she’d finished writing.
“Dr. Langdon checked me out.” She said. He’d sat quietly next to her, listening intently. He sat a little straighter when she mentioned his name.
“She’ll be okay, long term. One hell of a goose egg, though. And I’ll be monitoring her for any signs of an incoming migraine. Light sensitivity, nausea, that sort of thing.” He said. She looked up at the ceiling, counting the tiles. She was ready for this conversation to be over. She hoped they wouldn’t mention going to court again, “Look at her. Rolling her eyes at me. Doctors are the worst patients.” He continued.
“I’m not rolling my eyes-“ She began to protest, before catching the smile on his face. He was teasing her. Ok. Now she did feel like rolling her eyes. They asked her more questions, about his injury, her treatment of it, the severity of it. Unfortunately he probably wouldn’t need to seek medical attention elsewhere. Eventually, they stopped asking questions, closed their notebooks and stood.

Summary
“I never said you needed protecting,” he said, more firmly now. “I worry. That’s different.”
Her jaw tightened. “Is it?”
Bob’s eyes blazed for a moment, stepping closer. Yelena had to crane her head up to look at him, her arms folded defensively over her chest. She could feel the heat radiating off of him. He was very close.
“I’m starting to think that you want a reason to fight with me,” Bob said after a quiet moment.
She wanted to say something - anything - but the words were jammed in her throat. And now, looking at him, she suddenly didn’t know how to explain herself. Not to this version of Bob, the one who stood taller now, steadier, more confident, who flew into hurricanes like it was nothing. After months of training and super hero-ing, he was stronger, clearer, sure of himself.
And she… wasn’t.
Bob didn’t press. He just stood there in silence, rain-drenched, patient, watching her with gentle, steady eyes. The glow in them had dimmed, fading slowly back to brown, like the storm inside him was calming too.
Finally, she said, quieter, “I don’t want to fight with you.”
“I don’t want to fight with you either.” His voice was soft and sad.

Summary
In 1994, Bob Reynolds’ parents shuttle him off to stay with his aunt in Ohio for the summer. It’s a daunting agenda; he’s never even met Aunt Carol. But it becomes a lot more palatable once he meets one of Aunt Carol’s neighbors – Yelena, fearless and fascinating and a fast friend.
AND
In 2016, Yelena Belova is newly freed from the Red Room’s hold on her, and desperate for something familiar and comforting to anchor her. Those years in Ohio were the first – and the last – time she felt that. Maybe, maybe she can be selfish, and try to track down the boy she’d once known, oh so long ago. That is, if he even remembers her.
