I will be there in whatever capacity you need
And I think we should also ask Wanda if she can help

[sensive]

yeah
i thought the same thing

[ about wanda. about the three of them. in sync with yelena even before they’ve spoken. warmed by her answer, despite coming to expect it.

thunderbolts stick together. ]

but that’s good
because i need you there

[ however it ends up working (or, a low voice reminds him, not). ]

[vdovy]

Good
Because I would be there even if you didn't think so

Want me to reach out to Wanda?

[sensive]

i can ask her
i trust her the way i trust you guys
and kate

[ like team, like family. ]

i’ve been taking to armand, too
he can see it, in my head
the shadows

[vdovy]

He can read minds too?

[sensive]

yeah
it just happens when he’s near people
but he can tune in from far away too
like a radio station

[vdovy]

So what did he make of Bob FM?

[sensive]

i mean he was nice about it but
total cry for help

said i had “scar tissue” and my mind is trying to protect itself
which yeah
i bet

[vdovy]

[ Well, that's not great, but it's not hopeless either. ]

Ok that's
That's a place to start, yeah?
A cry for help means we have to listen

[sensive]

yeah
i think werewolf and being a tender were not good for me
especially when you and bucky were gone

maybe just being somewhere more normal is helping
relatively normal, anyway

[vdovy]

[ Yelena is happy for the reprieve but knows that, like her, Bob will have made the obvious conclusion. ]

But we can't depend on normal

So good
This is really good
We are being so responsible and proactive

[sensive]

right
yeah
exactly

[ typed and deleted: it’ll be okay, right? he can’t put that on yelena. ]

and we’ll keep an eye on it

[ like he’s a pot on the stove and not a nuclear weapon. ]
