When Sparks Fly

Torres

It takes us a little while but we regroup, getting changed before heading to the refuge camp when Sam gets word Torres has arrived. Sam had gone ahead of me and when I get there I see people being escorted out and into police cars. I run up to find Sam and Torres in the same room I had talked to Karli in, "what the hell is going on?"

"The GRC is conducting raids to try and find Karli," Sam looks over to me. "But they've only found her followers. They've searched this camp, and just like the last camp, nothing."

"Of course, no one is gonna give her up. And if she's smart she's gonna go into hiding. We'll never find her, not unless she wants us to."

Torres chuckles looking over to Bucky, "hey, you got your sleeve back."

Bucky shakes his head and heads for the door. Sam leans on the table, "are you off to take care of Zemo?"

Bucky turns back to Torres and Sam, not saying anything. He just looks at me and heads out, "alright, good to know you survived," Torres gives a little wave.

"What's our next step?" I cross my arms.

"Captain America killing a foreign National in public, its kind of like a big deal. Like international incident big. Folks, uh, higher up  on the payroll are all over it now. So, unfortunately..."

"They're taking jurisdiction," Sam sighs.

"Yeah," Torres nods before noticing the wings Sam and I broke, "what happened to these?" He grunts as he picks them up.

"Is there anything we can do?" I walk over to the boys, who are both at the table.

"Not really," Torres looks over to me, "unless you'd like to go out for lunch?"

"Hey, focus," Sam snaps his fingers.

"Uh, well, as you can see they've cordoned off the whole camp and Karli's a ghost. After what went down she is laying extra low. Like under-underground."

"And that's why it makes sense for us to get involved. The longer we let her regroups, the harder it's gonna be to find her."

"She's got people helping her from all over the world, on all platforms. She's really, really good at this thing." Torres puts a hand on the wings he had been unpacking to look at, "how'd these break?" Sam and I just sigh, "anyway, all we can do now is sit tight and just chill. Sometimes theres nothing to do until there's something to do."

I chuckle, "you know that's bizarrely wise."

He looks over to me and smirks, "well, I'm a bizarrely wise man, Phebs."

"Hey, kid," Sam chuckling and shaking his head, "she's with cyborg, you might wanna back off." Sam picks up the shield as he laughs, "thanks, Torres."

"Uh, I'm gonna go check on Buck," I start to back toward the door.

"Yeah? Well, I have someone I need to give this to. If you'd like to come, meet me at the airport at 6."

"You got it."
