Dear Fitz,
I’ve settled in quite well here, all things considered. The flat they’ve set me up in is cute and close to one of the posher areas of the city. I can see a park from my bedroom window, which is lovely and if I’m still here come springtime, I’m sure there will be loads of flowers there.
Tomorrow I’ll report into the lab I’ve been assigned to. I’m not sure what to expect in terms of their lab space or research, though of course I’ll be careful and make sure to stay under the radar.
Love always,
Jemma

Dear Fitz,
Well, I’ve finally reached the end of my first week here. And I must say, it’s been both exceedingly boring and quite lively, which is a strange combination. The boring bits are, naturally, the new hire trainings that everyone has to go through about how not to store hazardous chemicals and how to keep a proper lab notebook and where the fire escape routes are.
The lively bit was, interestingly enough, the people I’m working with here. They’re a strange bunch. You can tell who’s lived here in Gotham for a while and who’s moved here specifically to work in this lab. The tales from this city are… well I’ll have to tell you when I see you, once I’ve found out which are real and which are an exaggeration.
Love always,
Jemma

Dear Fitz,
Did you know every place of business and every apartment building in Gotham has several different types of evacuation drills that they practice regularly? Did you know that citizens here are given gas masks as a precautionary measure, set up through some local charity?
DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE MEN WHO CREATE ICE BLIZZARDS AND WOMEN WHO CAN CONTROL VINES AND A BIPEDAL, HUMANOID CROCODILE? DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE MASKED VIGILANTES SWINGING AROUND WHILE MAKING ATROCIOUS QUIPS? WHY ARE WE WORRIED ABOUT HYDRA HERE WHEN THEIR WHOLE LAB WILL PROBABLY BLOW UP FROM THE HALLUCINOGENIC GAS LEAKS FROM THE SEWERS???
I need to get out of this city.
Love always,
Jemma
