Summary
After saving the city from the Void and being unexpectedly proclaimed "the New Avengers," the Thunderbolts team is sent back to Alexei's house to spend the night while arrangements are made for settling Earth's new mightiest heroes into the Avengers watch tower in New York City. This is the team's first glimpse into their future living together as a ragtag group of former assassins and washed-up loners, and while their histories and personalities make for an oddly unique family dynamic, they grow to realize just how important they are becoming in each others' lives. But, with the torment of their past traumas and the terrifying first experience with the Void still fresh on everyone's minds, settling into their role as heroes and teammates does not come easily. They know no sleep without nightmares, no safety without isolation or violence, and no peace of mind with the guilt they each bear. Around each other, however, the emptiness they all know so well begins to feel a little lighter.

Summary
This was supposed to be a recon op. In, out, grab the intel. Easy.
Instead, John Walker finds himself trapped in a buried Hydra lab with cracked ribs, Hydra agents on his heels, and a feral science experiment staring at him like he’s dinner. She's fast, terrifying and somehow, she’s helping him.
He doesn’t know what she is. He doesn’t know what she wants.
But one thing’s clear: she’s not the only failed experiment that escaped during the chaos.
Now, John’s running out of time and options.

Summary
John isn't quite sure of his role in the new and fragile team he's ended up with after getting used to being assigned one all these years as a soldier and a shadow operative.
Everyone else seems to fall into some designation or other—leader, strategist, moral compass, father figure, muscle—all of them pieces falling in a puzzle that John can't seem to fill because the others fit better, and the thought slowly pushes him into a frustrated despair.
John spirals, becoming one with the sofa. He doesn't know that something else is wrong with him. Something darker and more sinister.
--
When John monitors someone, it's like using a telescope or binoculars to see a faraway object. But Bob, he's finding out, is all about getting up close, like he's a scientist with a specimen under a microscope, poking and prodding.
John makes a move to leave, but is stopped by Bob's words.
"You do that a lot. Thinking," Bob notes with a quiet certainty, like he's been watching John for a long time. "I can see it in your face. It goes all scrunchy and you, like, physically disconnect. Sometimes, when you think no one's there, you mutter things under your breath, too."
It sends a jolt down John's spine.

Summary
Yelena is fire. She’s momentum. She’s too much and just enough in ways that Bob barely understands. He wants to understand it. More than anything. Because he has never loved anyone like he loves Yelena… in this way that makes him feel invincible and fragile, makes his heart race with hope and his hands tremble with fear.And Bob?
He is trying very hard not to be a bomb. He’s trying to be small and useful. He’s trying to take care of things, because now he has something worth taking care of.
In short: he’s got the good sense not to blow up the kitchen making coffee.

Summary
That got a chuckle out of Ava. It was short, but genuine, and the first one in his memory that wasn’t the result of a joke made at his expense. John decided that her smile was much more charming when he wasn’t being mocked by it.

Summary
After months of experimentation, Lucy Del Mar escapes captivity from one of OXE's undisclosed labs, miles away from home. Left with nothing but abilities that she can hardly explain, she has only one goal: kill Valentina Allegra de Fontaine for destroying her life.
When Lucy finally gets a shot at it, in a vault in the middle of nowhere, she doesn't find Valentina, but a group of trained OXE Shadow Ops and a very confusing civilian named Bob. When no other option of escape presents itself, Lucy falls into a begrudging alliance with her adversaries. The closer they get to freedom, however, it's clear there is something much more sinister happening behind the curtain. Something connected to Lucy herself.
Lucy is then thrown into a fight she once had no intention of being a part of, alongside her complicated allies - who, slowly, grow closer as they delve deeper into Valentina's lies. With the world at stake, Lucy has to choose between her own plans for vengeance or this new, fragile team - and maybe, discovering which of the two will heal the emptiness within her.

Bob's Hobby by BarnesRogersCo

Summary
Bob takes a few strides back, giving a little wave and mocking, playful, half-assed salute, before he darts out onto the floor.
It helps with his mania. The motion, the speed, getting the energy out. It helps him feel like he’s powerful, without those overwhelming feelings of needing to do everything all at once. It even helps with his anger. Speeding around and feeling his hair whipping around behind him, the lights blurring into a cacophony of bright colors.
John gives a little salute back, then leans back to watch Bob skate. He raises his brows as he watches Bob move with expert grace and speed. He honestly hadn't expected Bob to be this coordinated, he's a little clumsy most of the time.
He smiles a little when Bob whips past him, seeing the stress melt away. He gets it now. He understands why Bob comes here. He needs it.
----
AKA: John discovers that Bob enjoys roller skating, and decides to go along with him, bonding over the way it impacts both of their lives.

Summary
He grabbed the sugar and handed it to Bob. Bob grabbed it. Their fingers brushed.
Then John was no longer in the kitchen.
He was in his own bedroom, but there was something strange about the atmosphere. It felt charged, somehow. And then he heard it—an odd sound, like a whimper. John turned around and saw him.
He was lying on John's bed. No clothes, apart from the sweater. John's sweater.
Or
John starts having strange hallucinations every time he touches Bob. These aren’t the usual depressing, trauma-associated visions, but an entirely new, more intimate kind.
