I carefully grab all my stuff out of the Stark house, making sure that I don't wake anyone up.
"Friday, tell anyone where I am and what happened tonight and I'll delete you and replace you with an Alexa." I threaten quietly.
"You wouldn't dare." Friday says.
"I totally would."
"Please think this through, Alina." Friday pleads.
"Mute. Go ahead and unmute yourself when I leave." I say. I walk out of the front door and set my stuff next to a sleek black car.
Phase one is complete.
I carefully pick the lock and I'm rewarded with the driver's side door opening.
I hotwire the car and unlock the trunk and I shove all the things I don't need right next to me in the trunk.
I hop in the driver's seat and set my duffel bag in the passenger seat. It contains my phone, earbuds, a laptop, some snacks, a good $2,500 in cash, my new suit and batons, my guns, my lightsabers, my widow gauntlets, Tony's credit card, a change of clothes for me, a flash drive containing my private files as well as a copy of Eliza, a blanket, and a pillow. Mama taught me how to play Tetris. I put the car in drive and start driving away. I plug the flash drive in and the internal lights in the car glow my signature blue before turning back to normal.
"Play my mix, Liza." I smile and Boulevard of Broken Dreams starts playing.
"Where to?"
"Los Angeles, California." I reply.
I hop on a highway and follow Eliza's directions to LA.
Phase two is complete.
I make a stop in Cincinnati, Ohio to sleep for the night before I get back on the road.
March 5, 8:00 AM.
I hop into my car and drive to the nearest Starbucks. I order a venti coffee with as much espresso as they'll give me and I head to the Speedway across the street. I fuel the gas tank up and buy a energy drink and a bag of Chex Mix. I won't sleep for a week.
I take a small break to breathe. I end up walking around the gas station and right before I'm about to get back to my car, my phone dings.
Arrow Guy: Where are you?
Blueberry: out.
Arrow Guy: Does this have anything to do with yesterday and "reinventing myself"?
Blueberry: what do you want?
Arrow Guy: I want to know where the heck you are so I can calm the Starks. I also wanted to tell you that I'm going to Budapest to find Nat's will and I wanted to know if you were coming with me.
Blueberry: promise you won't tell anyone where i am?
Arrow Guy: What am I supposed to tell the Starks?
Blueberry: that i'm safe and i can handle myself.
Arrow Guy: Fine.
Blueberry: i'm currently in Ohio, and i'm just about to resume my trek to California.
Arrow Guy: Send me the address of your apartment. Tasha will obviously have something that she wants in your hands.
Blueberry: i'll text you later. can't text and drive!
