📍 Police Station | May 2024
"For them to talk less." Sapphire pointed to her head, "In here."
Sam bowed his head in sympathy while Bucky just remained his gaze on her.
"Can I leave now?" She asked.
Christina shook her head which made Sapphire close her eyes in aggravation.
Based on her background, the trauma could be the cause of it. Christina wants to know more about it so she could help the woman.
"The both of you guys are leaving me with no choice. It's time for the soul-gazing exercise," Christina drifted from her, wanting the next questions for her to be confidential.
"I like this better," Bucky responded.
"Oh, God. He's gonna love this," Sam remarked.
"Yeah, I'm ready," Bucky told her.
"This is right up your alley," Sam replied.
"Turn around. Face each other," Dr. Raynor instructed them.
Sapphire push her chair backward to give both spaces for Bucky and Sam to fix their seats as she continued to face Christina.
"You should really enjoy this," Sam said to Bucky, which he replied with, "I'm going to."
"I know you are."
"Yeah," Bucky nodded.
"Sam. Face each other," Dr. Raynor told them.
"Let's do it. Let's stare," Bucky said as they both arranged their chairs.
"Get close."
"This is a good exercise. Thanks, Doc," Bucky uttered to her sarcastically.
"All right, good. All right, get close. Come on, a little closer," Christina told them.
Sapphire rolled her eyes at their childishness.
"Which way you want to go?"
"Right or left?"
"Why're your legs open?"
"You know what? Fine. Here. You happy now?"
One of their knees is between each other. Sapphire dragged a hand on her face. It's frustrating for her to watch their idiocy.
"All right."
"All right."
"Good. Fine."
"We're locked in."
"That's a little close," Bucky commented.
"Very. What you wanted, right?" Sam retorted.
Dr. Raynor broke their banter by cutting them off, "Guys. Good. Now, look at each other. You need to look at each other in the eyes. There, you see?"
Both guys squinted their eyes and stared at each other. "That wasn't so hard. Wait, what are you doing? Are you having a staring contest? Just blink." Christina snapped her fingers in between their faces, "Sweet Jesus. Sam, you ask Saf first."
Sapphire rolled her eyes as Sam asked, "Why are you so reluctant about not helping? And, it's not the first time. I know that Fury offered you to be a part of them during Tony's funeral."
"What would it bring me?" She rose a brow at him.
"What would it bring you? You're saving people!" Sam argued.
