Monica looked around. "We shouldn't hang out here too long."

Darcy sighed. "Uh, give me two seconds. I just need to hack into the secure network on the base. Done-zo. Now, we should be able to access the data on Hayward's devices. Oh. That's interesting. Guys, Hayward figured out a way to look through the boundary."

"And he didn't share it with the group." I shook my head. "How rude."

"Is this Wanda right here?" Jimmy pointed, asking Darcy.

"No. The program is tracking the decay signature of vibranium."

"Vision?" I looked at Darcy. "Wait. Why is Hayward tracking Vision?"

"I don't know. This is all I can access so far."

"These other dots, those are Westview residents?"

"The ones in Vision's immediate vicinity, yeah." Darcy answered Jimmy.

"Hayward must have an accurate headcount by now."

Monica nodded. "Hmm. And some sense of their well-being."

"Huh... These people, near the edge of town... They're barely moving. Are they alive?"

My phone rang and they all looked at me. I pulled my phone out. Sam.

"Hey, not a great time, Sam. What's up?"

"Did you know?"

"Gotta be more specific, Sammy." I walked away from my group, mouthing "sorry."

"There's a black super solider. Did you know?"

I froze. "What? What are you talking about?"

"Bucky knew."

"Aren't you supposed to be on a boat?"

"Talia." He sighed.

"Sam, I-" I looked at the three people behind me. "If he didn't tell you, I'm sure there's a reason."

I heard Sam scoff. "Yeah, take his side."

"I'm not taking sides, Sam. Why would you say that?"

He didn't answer me, I heard a voice in the background. "Is there a problem here?"

"No, we're just talking." Sam said, but not to me.

"Sam? What's going on?"

"I don't have ID. Why?"

I started to worry. "Sam, give me something."

"I am calm. What do you want? We're just talking." A bit of noise and then. "No." There was some more scuffing and voices before I heard sirens.

"Sam?"

"Yeah, I'm here. Sorry."

"What's going on?"

"Look, the president pardoned him for all that."

I groaned. "Samuel. If you don't tell me what the hell is going on!"

"Bucky's getting arrested."

"What?!"

"I'll text you the address." And the line disconnected.

"Guys, I'm sorry I gotta-" I sighed. "There's somewhere I gotta be. Keep me updated."

"Wait a second, this is optional?" Darcy responded and Monica rolled her eyes.

"Everything okay?"

"I don't know."
