❛ i think you were right. what we're looking for.. it's not here. ❜

ILLYANA SHRUGS IN MOMENTARY DEFEAT, billowing blue flames dissipating with the withdrawal of her soul sword. " i told you. " a quiet sigh echoes. she knows they had to confirm it, for it would only bite them in the ass if they hadn't. though it didn't make the whole thing any less disheartening. " the question is, what's next? " icy gaze flickers to land on a static bucky as fingers curl around the table's edge, heavily leaning back onto it.

" the right side? " ALEKSANDRA DOESN'T FEEL IT NECESSARY TO UPHOLD HER CAREFULLY CURATED MIRAGE OF NORMALCY WITH THE WINTER SOLDIER — or whoever he was now. he knows what she was, she knows what he was. feigned smiles, fluttered lashes and sweet laughter served no purpose with him. the words are punctuated with only a raise of her brow and a click of her tongue. propping elbows onto the countertop, her forearms fold over one another as she leans her weight onto them.

" that depends on how you look at it. " shoulders raise and fall, answer vague while fingers begin to drum a rhythmless beat against the bare skin of her arm. gaze flickers from his face to metal that replaced flesh and bone, before landing on the FILE she'd slid to him just moments ago — still untouched. " they deserve it, so what's the harm? " whether they deserved it or not didn't influence her decision, BUT SHE THOUGHT IT MIGHT SWAY HIS OWN.
