It had been a week, and in that time Auggie had had some of the worst nightmares he'd ever experienced, even after Iraq. Hearing the reports coming back from Manhattan, smelling the stench of the creatures on Annie when she did manage to make it back to Stark Tower for a break, all lent itself to forming images in his mind that wouldn't go away, and to then have them morph into the face of a man he'd never seen before made him even more uptight than when he'd first heard the voice on the tape in Istanbul six years earlier.
Annie was out having a drink, Auggie glad she was taking some down time, but not able to leave the surveillance at that time.
When he did finish his shift he made his way up to the gym, already wearing sweatpants and a singlet, with a towel over his shoulder and his cane in his hand. The laser wand was on charge as he'd forgotten to plug it in the previous night.
He winced a little, the stitches in his leg reminding him he should just stick to upper body work, and he asked JARVIS to give him some directions, the AI obliging and offering to prepare him a workout.
"Sure, just upper body, don't want to get blood everywhere by popping stitches," he joked, "that would probably wear out our welcome here pretty damned quick!"
