«We Could be Heroes»

(HUH??? Have I typed that more than once?)
(no. Just say 'what?' I'll get to it in a bit.)

The woman pulled out her phone, a black one in a chunky protective case. "The digital version is that way, too." She said, worry etched across her face.

Gage couldn't stand it any more. "Don't you remember the apartments? The closest? The man who took you?" He searched his mind. "You even said something about Hydra when we were at River's apartment."

The girl hugged the toy, shaking her head. Not angrily, not a weird PTSD reaction, not a teary-eyed one. Just a simple shake. Just a generic, classroom answer, and it bothered him. "Come here." He said.

This time, she obeyed, though hesitantly. He gently placed his hand on her head and wiped at the scars with his thumb. They smeared. "Leona, who put this stuff on your face?" He asked as cheerily as possible. He didn't need the child clamming up. Not now.
 
Aero shuffled his feet as he walked behind the guard. He kept his head down and his eyes on the ground, though occasionally looked upward to watch where he was going. He stepped into the elevator, then out, and was met by James Firestien, who was apparently calling himself... Dobby? "Hi, Mr. Fierstein." He waved, chuckling nervously, "Yeah... it seems the rest of the group decided to ditch the three of us." He said, motioning to himself and the two other teenagers. He forced a smile and looked at James, "But, we will do the mission that you had planned for us."
