With each resounding thud against the punching bag, Indigo channels her frustration and anger. In her mind's eye, Bucky's face becomes the target, driving her relentless assault. Blow after blow, she unleashes her pent-up emotions, the rhythmic impact echoing her inner turmoil. Despite the growing strain on her knuckles, she persists, determined to purge herself of the thoughts swirling within.
As Indigo's fists gradually slow their assault on the punching bag, she hears the familiar buzz of her phone nearby. With a sense of relief, she disengages from her impromptu sparring session and strides over to the nearby bench where her phone lies. Picking it up, she sees a text from Nat, announcing her departure for the eagerly awaited date. A smile tugs at the corners of Indigo's lips as she reads the message, her excitement for Nat palpable.
As she swiftly unwraps the tape from her hands, Indigo takes a moment to survey the empty gym. The familiar scent of sweat and exertion fills the air, mingling with the quiet solitude of the space. Today, the team had been granted a rare reprieve by Steve, a well-deserved day off following the successful mission the day before. With the rest of the team scattered throughout the city, indulging in their own pursuits, Indigo finds herself alone in the tower.
As the last beads of sweat evaporate from her forehead, Indigo decides to call it a day at the gym. With a sense of satisfaction lingering in her muscles, she makes her way back to her room, eager for the comforting embrace of a hot shower and the quiet solace of her bed. The prospect of immersing herself in a good book fills her with anticipation, offering a welcome escape from the rigors of superhero life.
She walks over to the elevator and clicks the button waiting for the doors to open. As Indigo stands by the elevator, she taps out a quick reply to Nat's message, wishing her friend a wonderful time on her date and teasingly adding a playful wink emoji for good measure. With a smile playing at the corners of her lips, she pockets her phone and patiently waits for the elevator doors to slide open, eager to retreat to the comfort of her room and unwind after a day of intense training.
As the elevator ascends, Indigo's thoughts drift back to Bucky, a complex mixture of emotions swirling within her. She wonders where he might be at this very moment, whether he's wandering the streets of Bucharest lost in thought or perhaps embarking on another mission fraught with danger. The uncertainty gnaws at her, a constant reminder of the precarious nature of their relationship.
Lost in her thoughts, Indigo absentmindedly scrolls through her phone, her thumb flicking across the screen as she navigates through messages and notifications. Despite the distractions of the digital world, her mind keeps returning to Bucky, his enigmatic presence looming large in her thoughts.
As the elevator doors slid open to her floor, a prickling sense of unease gripped Indigo. Without hesitation, she swiftly withdrew her gun from her bag, letting the bag drop to the floor with a muffled thud.
