"Earlier today, at a UN meeting in Vienna, a bomb exploded and killed several diplomats, including King T'Chaka of Wakanda. As many now know, the meeting was held to discuss the highly controversial 'Sokovia Accords,' an initiative to restrain the heroes' behavior. The culprit is believed to be a certain James Buchanan Barnes, seen here in security footage moments before the explosion occurred--."
The empty crimson cup in Tatiana's hand cracked. She fumbled and the cup fell, shattering on the white tile of her kitchen floor. She froze and stood, staring at the mess, that name running through her mind again and again. James Buchanan Barnes. James Buchanan Barnes. James Buchanan Barnes. James Buchanan Barnes. James Buchanan Barnes. James Buchanan Barnes. James. Buchanan. Barnes. James. Buchanan. Barnes.
She left the glass on the floor and went to her closet, her mind blank as she tossed box after box out. Tatiana yanked a shoe box from the very bottom. The corners were torn and warped. She tore the top off and tossed it to the side. She grabbed an old manila folder and a black journal from among the contents. Her mind filled with images as she grabbed her phone. She typed in a number and waited for the voicemail.
"This is Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth. Please leave a message if you are not the media." The tone sounded.
"Hello, Mr. Pennyworth. I promised I would check in with you, did I not? I am just calling to say that you may not hear from me for a bit. There are," she looked down at the folder in her hands and the television right outside her bedroom door, "some things I have been ignoring for a while that I need to take care of. Goodbye. I hope you are well."
She turned off her phone and threw it on top of the backpack she hadn't even realized she'd dumped onto her quilt-bed on the floor. Tatiana kicked the boxes back into her closet, the open shoebox one top, and shut the door. She shoved clothes and money into her backpack and then sat and stared at the faded words on the folder. 'The Superior Soldier Project'.
