(This chapter is NOT canon to the main plot of Solitude)
Ever since the virus spread, I'd decided to keep a journal to document everyday life. It was a pointless idea as they're would be no one to read it, but it gave me a semblance of hope.
I was writing in the journal, day 16 to be exact, when I head the door behind me opening. I decided not to turn around. It wasn't a zombie as they'd make more noise, so it had to be one of the survivors.
"Step two, be as quiet as possible" Someone whispered.
I recognized the voice, it was Peter. I faced him and he gasped.
"What are you doing ?" I asked as he lowered the camera he was holding, Kurt behind him.
"We're filming a survival guide" Peter explained.
Before I could say anything, Peter began walking towards the bathroom door.
"Is Bucky there ?"
"Yes... ?" I said, not understanding his intentions.
He turned on the camera once more and walked in the other room quietly.
"Step Three, hygiene. Zombies are attracted to the smell of human flesh. So the less pheromones you give off, the better" He whispered.
I ran towards Peter as he grabbed the shower curtain.
"Peter don't !" But it was too late.
Bucky grabbed Kurt's throat and strangled him.
"You're robot arm is waterproof. How handy" He said, struggling to breath.
"You know all I have to do is squeeze, and then it's over ?" Bucky said angrily.
"Easy killer. How about we skip the shower and grab the body spray ?" Peter said as Kurt sprayed Bucky with perfume.
Bucky threw Kurt onto Peter, making him and the camera fall.
The duo ran out, not wanting to cause anymore trouble.
"What are they even doing ?" Bucky asked, discouraged.
"They're filming a documentary about the apocalypse"
He sighed.
"Let them be" I said with a laugh as I threw a towel at him and walked out of the room.

We all stood around Okoye as she explained to us the current situation.
"Another survivor camp claims to have made progress on a cure"
"Awesome ! Global crisis solved. High-fives all aroun-" Peter said happily.
"Not quite" Bucky cut him off. "The beacon's location was corrupted in transit. We have no idea where it came from"
"Well, it looks to me like your message is in non-linear hexacode" Banner explained.
"That location look familiar, Agent Carter ?" I asked Sharon.
"It's Camp Lehigh on New Jersey. Shield's first base of operations. It could have the equipment you need to fabricate a cure"
"That's where I worked when Steve was being trained" I added, remembering my brother.
I was certain he'd survived and he was just in hiding. Steve always came back, he always managed to escape.
"Then we'll leave at sundown" Okoye said.
"Well, just when you thought things couldn't get any worse, we have to go to Jersey" Happy said sarcastically from the couch.

FanfictionI put my head on Bucky's shoulder. "Why don't you have a picture of me in your compass ?" I asked. He put his head on mine and took his compass from his pocket. "I do actually, I stole the idea from Steve" I looked at the compass, there was a pic...
