Roadtrip psl

[behexed]

[Wanda pulls into the garage of Bucky's building to meet him at his request. She was surprised to get the call but she wasn't mad. She'd been hiding out on her own for awhile now, and it was starting to wear on her. A change of scenery and some company wouldn'tbe unwelcome]

Comments

[Wanda barely rolls to a stop before Bucky opens the door on her car, tossing a duffel into the back seat before dropping himself heavily in the front.

Moving the seat back:]

Did you have any trouble getting here?

[behexed]

[Glances back as he tosses the bag in, and then looks at him]

No. Did you expect me to?

[leftcold]

[A shrug and a glance over his shoulder. Look, Bucky always expects trouble. It's basically his life.]

Not specifically.

[behexed]

[Backing out of the parking spot and heading out of the garage]

Expecting the worst already?

[leftcold]

Nah. Just habit. It's fine.

[Sometimes it's hard to kick the paranoia, all right?]

Thanks for coming with me on this. I know it's kind of a weird ask.

[behexed]

[She lifts one shoulder slightly in a small shrug]

I don't mind. It's nice not to be alone sometimes.

[leftcold]

Yeah, that's what the shrink keeps telling me.

[behexed]

Well, she's not wrong.

[leftcold]

Don't tell her that. It'd go straight to her head.

[behexed]

I wasn't planning on it. I don't even know who she is.

[leftcold]

Keep it that way.

[Grumping. He's grumping.]

Whatever. It'll be nice to get out of the city for a while. Get some air.

[behexed]

[Quietly amused by his grumping as she heads toward the interstate]

Yes, it will be. Where are we headed first?

[leftcold]

How about west? Doesn't really matter where specifically.

[behexed]

The mountains? That works for me.

[leftcold]

Yeah. More of a mountains than a beach kind of guy.

[That's what happens when you can't take your shirt off.]

[behexed]

I am, too. Mountains are quieter than beaches.

[leftcold]

So let's find something quiet.

[behexed]

I think we can manage that.

[She reaches over to turn on the radio]

Do you have musical preferences?

[leftcold]

Whatever you want to put on is fine. I usually listen to music from the 40s, so...

[So she's about seventy years too young to be interested in that.]

[behexed]

Like "Accentuate the Positive?"

[She grew up watching old TV Shows. Old music isn't that far out of her wheelhouse.

She puts it on a XM channel for 40's classics.]

[leftcold]

I wouldn't have even thought they'd be listening to that anymore.

[behexed]

Some people do, some people don’t.

[leftcold]

We can listen to this for a while, then whatever you like later. There will be a lot of driving time.

[behexed]

What makes you think I don't like 40s music?

[leftcold]

Do you like 40s music?
