Rikki really, really misses the gym at Avengers Mansion. She was super-spoiled, she'd admit, having access to state-of-the-art equipment meant for the use of actual superheroes. So of course, anything else she could possibly have access to would probably look like duct tape and baling wire in comparison.
She's pretty sure it's not bias to say that whatever she can rig up in an abandoned house and actual on-the-field practice makes for a pretty shitty gym-substitute. It's kind of a miracle when she finds out there's a gym at Milliways to use. (Is there anything it doesn't have? She's pretty sure she saw something like an obstacle course outside, too.)
Anyway, she figures she's owed a chance to work off a little steam. It's easy to fall into a rhythm so she doesn't have to think too hard, just concentrate on strength and endurance and beating the shit out of a punching bag that never did a thing to her.

"Hey," he says, stopping on his way out, "if you ever want to hear about Bucky--my Bucky--I've got stories."

He nods and smiles a little too, and then leaves the gym.
