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]

[leftcold]

Yeah. Why?

[behexed]

It's the second time you've adjusted your seat.

[leftcold]

Just enjoying the leg room.

[behexed]

I see.

[That's some sort of man thing isn't it.]

There's an exit ahead. Do you want to stop for some lunch?

[leftcold]

I wouldn't mind something to eat. Maybe a sandwich?

[behexed]

A sandwich and something to drink would be good.

[leftcold]

Maybe something sweet too, to finish up.

[behexed]

Sounds good to me.

[Pulling into the exit lane and getting off the interstate]

[leftcold]

You you want to find somewhere to eat? A park or something.

[behexed]

We could. Don’t want to be cooped up in a diner?

[leftcold]

More likely to be recognized if we're in doors.

[behexed]

You do have a point.

[leftcold]

I'd rather not attract too much attention.

[behexed]

Okay. We’ll find a quiet picnic area somewhere.

[leftcold]

Sounds good. We can get a little air. Maybe a little sun.

[behexed]

I've heard sunlight can be good for mental health.

[She sounds a little rueful and maybe a little amused. He might be in therapy but she knows her own mental health can be extremely fragile.]

[leftcold]

[Bucky barks softly at that.]

Can't be that easy, can it?

[behexed]

Not in my experience. But I suppose it doesn’t hurt, either.

[Whereas sitting in the dark definitely can.]

[leftcold]

Well, I could use a little sunshine and fresh air. Then back on the road? We have a long way to go today.

[For no particular reason since they're not on a timeline.]

[behexed]

Yes, that works. And on the next leg of the trip we’ll graduate into 50s music.

[Maybe he’ll like it more if he gets a feel for how music evolved, rather than just diving head first into modern stuff.]

[leftcold]

You know we can listen to whatever you like. It's fine.

[behexed]

I do like 50s music. It's fun. Lighthearted.

[leftcold]

Guess they had something to be happy about then.

[Probably. He spent the 50s as a brain washed assassin in cryofreeze. He has no idea if people had things to be happy about.

Korea was pretty rough.]

[behexed]

They wanted to think they did, I think.

[Or something like that. She shrugs. She's not exactly an expert on American culture in the 50s. Old episodes of Dick Van Dyke only take you so far.]

I don't know. I'm not American. Sokovia wasn't on the cutting edge of popular culture. I would watch old American TV shows with my family when I was a little girl. It was...a distraction. I learned appreciate the music, too. It reminds me of a simpler time.

[leftcold]

You know I don't mind listening to music that isn't American, if you wanted to. I do speak like... twenty languages. Might as well take advantage of it.
