I've been pretty clear that I'd make the same choice, but if I am leaving campus it's going to be in the air so I'm probably one of the safest. Plus, you know, the whole vibranium suit situation. I'll be fine, Bucky's safe in the void, and Nat's Nat.
Yeah, I think the mall was useful as a once-off learning exercise, but it really doesn't sound like there's much point going back. It was probably one of the first places in town stripped clean.
