Author’s Note: omg this feels like it took me literal years to write (aka two and a half months). i genuinely don’t know why it took me so long because i do love this story and i’m so happy to be back in it again. i missed this chaotic emotional multiverse mess more than i realized 🥲 thank you if you’re still here and reading! part 3 is coming i swear. probably in less than two months. maybe. hopefully. don’t quote me. i promise there will be more bucky in it <3
There was something too clean about the air.
Not sterile like antiseptic or bleach. No, this wasn’t a hospital. It was worse. Filtered. Engineered. Scrubbed of anything human. No trace of breath or sweat or the phantom cling of coffee to cheap carpet. Just the cold, mechanical hum of recycled air dragging itself through ducts and vents and hidden spaces in the walls. Air that didn’t belong to people. Air that belonged to systems.
You knew immediately this wasn’t a police station.
