[ 001 ] ★ [ Video ]

[ A solemn looking man with a serious expression appears on the screen, an impressive fountain in the distance behind him, and the sounds of rushing water carrying over the feed. He's wearing a white turtleneck jumper with a suede coat, brown hair looking flat and dark circles ring his eyes. ]

There goes the search for Cap. [ He sounds defeated, which rarely happens, but he says it with a sarcastic tone, masking the weight he carries with him for so far failing to find Steve in the wreckage.

He fiddles around with the device as he looks directly at it, now, rather than at the surroundings around him. ] So, anyone out there gonna fill me in on what the hell's goin' on 'round here or do I gotta figure it out for myself?

[ He arches an eyebrow at his tone, his screen tilting as he walks. ]

He got here before me.

[ Holding his tongue on this one is proving hard, especially with how intriguing it all is. ]

You got anyone else stashed away here I should know about?

[ Tony? But that's not his place to say. ] You'll find out.

What d'you call this place?

[ He fails to look at the device, glancing around at the sights - they're not too shabby - and keeps an eye out for him. ]

The City. I don't know.

[ Bucky rounds a corner and et voila. Just flipping closed the device without even saying anything, making his way over. ] So, it's definitely you, huh?

The City, huh?

[ He's a whiz with the devices, closing it down quickly and tucking it away.

And with his hands empty, he's free to poke at will as he looks him up and down. ] Could ask you the same. And there's no one else this good looking, so who else's it gonna be?

[ WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING HIM? ] Hey, I ain't that kinda dame, lay off.

[ Shaking himself. ] If I weren't sure before, I am now. [ Sahara dry. ] Steve'll be overjoyed.

Knew you'd admit it one day, buddy. You gonna break the news or should I? [ But he fits in another poke or two before he finally stops, pretty sure he's solid. ]

Spoke to him while you were taking your sweet time getting here. These little beauties are handy, huh?

Fuck you. [ He doesn't have to be nice, does he? Steve's been avoiding him, so Bucky carefully sidesteps the landmine and just shrugs. ] I can never get the hang of 'em. Their sole purpose is fuckin' with my life.

Sure. Why not? You're a good looking guy. Name the time and place, and I'm all yours, sweetheart. [ Have yourself an infamous Stark wink, Bucky. ]

You got me for that. Maybe I'll help you out with it if you get me sorted here.

[ asdfghjkdls. No, Stark, no. ] You're not my type, buddy. I don't dig the facial hair.

[ Hands shoved in his pockets. ] But sure, whatever, crash course. C'mon, I need coffee an' I'll try t'answer your questions.

Hey, come on, don't insult the facial hair. It'll hear you, and you don't want that. [ He strokes out his moustache fondly. ]

Cap said that coffee here ain't all bad, so I think I'll have me one of those while we're on it.

[ Just. Looking at Howard. With horror. ] Jesus fucking christ, I think m'gonna hurl if you ever do that again.

[ Going to start walking towards the coffee shop without a word. ]

Do what? [ Looking smug, he does it again. ] Thought you soldier guys were born with strong stomachs?

[ He follows on, taking everything in, trying to keep a mental map of the place for future reference. ]

Well clearly you're the exception.

[ The coffee shop isn't too far, and Bucky holds the door open for him even though he kind of looks annoyed that he's doing it. ]

Never realised you felt so strongly towards me, pal.

[ Unable to stop the smirk from breaking loose, he does a bad attempt at a curtsy and goes on ahead, glad of the warmth inside. ] How d'you get your hands on money in this place, then?

You get a job.

[ Waving a hand. ] Relax, it's on me this time. If you stick around past the weekend then you're gonna have'ta deal with it by yourself. What're you having?

Guess this means I owe you one.

[ Looking at the menu at the back, making a face. ] What's with all the foam? Give me the blackest coffee, straight up, no frills.

[ Holding two fingers up to the waitress to mean he wants one too. He doesn't have to talk to people if he doesn't want. Ushering Howard towards a table when he grabs the coffee.

... Technically, Howard's probably like a superior, so that's why, okay? ] Here.

[ Howard says nothing as he's pushes towards a table and takes a seat, making himself more than comfortable, but the smirk on his face says more than enough.

Warming his hands around the coffee. ] This sure is cosy. So, come on, giving it to me straight. What've I missed?

I dunno, when you from?

[ Tapping his fingers against the mug. ] Ain't much to tell anyhow, I was on a mission, then I was here, Steve was already settled in.

[ He's going to subtly ignore this question because if he opens his mouth to answer anything could come out, and he did - sort of - promise Steve he wouldn't spill. ]

The two'a you shacked up together? [ Something Steve said made him suspicious. ] Gonna try get a place nearby, keep the old gang together and all that.

Yeah, we live together. [ Deadpan, so deadpan. Nothing to be suspicious of. ] We've known each other our whole lives, why wouldn't we?

[ Have an eyebrow raise anyway, Bucky, because he's on to you. ] Hey, hey, no need to get so defensive. Can't a guy ask a simple question?

[ Eyeroll to communicate how unimpressed he is. ] Yeah, whatever.
