Who| Peggy, D10, and YOU
What| Peggy's reaction to the reel is to drink and work out.
Where| D10 and the Tribute Gym.
When| After her Victor Reel.
Warnings/Notes| Trauma, and using exercise and alcohol to deal with that trauma.

Peggy knew it was coming, so it's easier than it would have been otherwise. She just didn't expect them to include Bucky in it.

It won't do for her to show how affected she is. Just because she's keeping her composure, though, doesn't mean she's not affected.

D10

She sits in the common room, doing her work, balancing the budget, waiting for anyone who needs her help finding sponsors or a job. It's like any other day, except instead of tea, she has a glass of whiskey and a full whiskey bottle to keep it nice and filled.

It's the only indication that she might be affected. She will quietly bribe people into not talking about it by leaving out homemade bread, cheese, and meat in the kitchen. They can take what they like, and may or may not understand her intentions to distract them from her Reel and drinking.

Gym

She cycles through all the stations with more fervor today, and runs her body through the wringer, forcing herself to drive her muscles to the edge. It feels good to bruise her knuckles on punching bags and building muscle with pull ups. It feels good to complete another set of plant identification, to set a fire, to make a trap.

If she works out for a few hours longer than she usually does, she's not going to comment. Do you dare?

"It also builds up to a shit day that interrupts your workout schedule."

He can attest to how bad things could get from overdoing it. He may not look it, but every ounce of his lean build is muscle earned from a lifetime of running, climbing, and jumping for his life.

"At least take a water break."
