she didn't like stealing. she also didn't like committing crimes. but considering isla felt like she was half dead and needed a quick getaway, well, this auto shop seemed to be the best place.

cybernetic eye scanned the interior for life signs. there only seemed to be one occupant. no doubt in an office somewhere. changing her vision through a few settings, isla confirmed this SHOULD be easy. now she just needed to not slip on her own blood.

left hand gripped the door and pulled free the lock. she snuck in the garage, searching for an easy getaway car. most of the vehicles appeared unlocked so slipping in wasn't hard. hotwiring the things, that proved difficult as blood coated her fingers. every time she wiped her palms, fresh liquid took the place of old.

"fuck," she muttered.

something sounded to the far right. looking up, isla saw a man walking out of a room. double fuck. slipping from the driver seat, the cyborg woman went to search for a place to hide. hopefully she didn't pass out in the process. @parvamundi (dom) gets a random starter

teeth pulled on her inner cheek. it seemed she and the woman, lou, were at am impasse. "i claimed this hiding spot first," isla stated. "bugger off or else we'll both be dead." it seemed the pair of them were running or hiding from something. question was, who or what was lou running from? @shesboundtobruise

"agent 72," isla said, sticking out her hand to the red head. they'd crossed each other's orbits a few time before, but the SHIELD agent had never been fully introduced to the woman.

"thanks for saving my ass back there." isla could have handled it on her own, but there was something she was coming to realize; working as a team was a good thing. dare she say it, isla CRAVED having a team of her own. maybe fury would give her a unit or something. @viperbit gets a random starter

her left side seemed to vibrate. to shift and hum of it's own accord. isla stared at it, blank faced. heart thrummed in her chest, threatening to punch through her chest cavity.

"yes," the woman breathed, curling her left hand into a fist. it stopped the VIBRATIONS for a moment. what the hell was that?

"something is wrong." brown eyes looked up and found scarlett. "very, very wrong." as it to prove her point, the left side of isla's body suddenly jerked and moved at odd angles.

"step back," she warned. whatever was happening with her cybernetics wasn't going to be pretty."

@redheadarcher sent in: "something wrong?"

her lips pinched into bloodless lines. keen, altered gaze missed nothing as she observe maeve clean up the mess. shards of glass SCATTERED across the floor to form odd shapes and patters. isla's brown optics dropped to study the alignment, searching for answers in the random creations of the universe. but she came up empty handed.

"i don't like it, maeve. at any moment, you could be on the wrong end of someone losing control. i think you should have protection." or a bodyguard. something to HELP keep her safe in the midst of this...endeavor. isla may or may not be volunteering herself for the job. she'd wait to see maeve's reaction before she pitched the idea. "otherwise, everything you're doing here is going to mean shit."

❝ what are you doing? ❞

safehouses are her responsibility:   her task to keep her somewhat sane even with the madness of recent years.  idle hands have never suited her  -  but as hard as she may work,  as many hours as she may spend in labs tucked out of the way,  sometimes she simply needs to be moving.  ( it's best to keep out of the way,   to keep interactions with any government or group or team to a minimum.  as long as they're happy maeve is doing no harm  -   helping without bias or ill intentions  -  usually they're happy to let her exist.  )   being a hero is of little interest to her when there's so much real work to be done.

❝ I'm cleaning up.  a bit of manual labour is good for the soul. ❞   statement comes lightly,  grabbing broom and focussing on confetti sized fragments of what was once a window,  now shattered and covering floor.  replacing cracked door will have to wait until next day,  but most of the work before her are things she should be able to handle herself with time.  ❝ I've told you,  @metalhalf.  she didn't hurt anyone,  she just had an issue with her ability.  she's safely somewhere else and I'm dealing with the mess.  nothing for SHIELD to concern themselves with. ❞

chest heaved up in down, air struggling to filter through her system. it was a small comfort, bucky telling her it would be possible. isla had lost everything and everyone she cared about. she knew, deep in her soul, that phantom had lied to her. THEY HAD DONE SOMETHING TO HER BODY. but until she could recover those memories, there would be no clarification as to WHAT had been done.

lips twisted into a slight grin. isla rested her hand atop bucky's and gave it a squeeze before uncurling from her prone position on the floor.

"i know something is there," she whispered. "a memory on the tip of my tongue. but every time i reach for it, it dissolves. how do i get it to stick?" @vekovoysoldat

"Yes you can." THERE'S SOMETHING SURPRISINGLY GENTLE IN BUCKY'S TONE - maybe because this was something the man could fully understand. He knew what it was like to be afraid of your own mind - to have to accept that it had been pulled apart and twisted into something ugly.

He reaches out, hand resting on top of hers for a moment. "Take it one step at a time okay? there's no rush. I'll help you. You're not alone." THAT WAS THE PROBLEM WHEN DEALING WITH THE REPURCUSSIONS OF TRAUMA. It was overwhelming , terrifying even. "You don't need to be sorry."

raven locks stuck to her cheek, drool used as a binding agent. isla rubbed at her mouth before pushing herself into a SITTING position. bucky crouched nearby, poking at a fire.

isla drew the blanket to her, tucking it around her shoulders. "no." she rarely did these days. if she wasn't HAUNTED by memories, she was planning on how she'd find information about her unit. "i thought i got enough of it when i was dead." her lips twitched in a humorless smile. "apparently i can't stay beneath the ground." or under rubble but who cared about semantics.

@vekovoysoldat sent in: 'did you get enough sleep?'
