[ A long, static-y pause before Bucky's voice filters through, a little gruff, maybe a little angry, because hey, this place sucks. ]

So I checked. Amy an' her Doc've gone home. I don't know who all knew 'em, so I figured I'd just let everyone know.

[ First Ginny, now Amy. It's not the greatest of weeks. ] 'least she gets to do away with all the crazy here. Anyway, that's it.

[ And abruptly ending the feed. ]

[ What is with all these people knowing him lately? ]

Uh. [ Sorry Kate, you can just have this blank look of confusion. ]

[And that salute slowly comes back down.]

Yeah, you don't know me either.

[yourbestguysgun]

That's twice today someone's known me and I ain't had a clue who they are. [ It's a little weird, and also: ]

And you don't have t'salute me, kid. I'm just a sergeant.

[joiedeviolet]

Well, I served with you... on a mission... something like that. Not in the army or anything, but I did and it was a honor.

But you don't remember that happening, do you? Or maybe it hasn't happened for you yet.

A mission. [ There's the slightest hint of disbelief. ] Sweetheart, you don't look like anyone'd I'd go on a mission with. For one, I'm pretty sure you're from the future, for another, you're a kid.

Re: » video

[joiedeviolet]

[Okay, might as well be honest about it.]

Almost seventeen. And it wasn't exactly a mission per se, more like we had a plan and you came in with another and then it turned into a whole different plan, and yes, I'm from the future. It's hard to explain.

[ He just raises an eyebrow slightly, because what is it with people and thinking he's from the future? Bucky knows death is just waiting around the corner, it's a pretty big thing. ]

Right.

What's your name?

[joiedeviolet]

[Because other than the arm, you still look exactly the same as you do now in the face? Think about that.]

Kate Bishop, sir.

[yourbestguysgun]

Okay, straight off the bat, don't call me sir. It's Bucky, or Barnes, not sir, that's pretty much Steve's gig.

You new, ain't ya?

» video

[joiedeviolet]

Okay, Bucky. [Though she calls Steve just Steve.] I just got here Thursday.

You one of those Young Avengers I keep meeting?

[joiedeviolet]

Not anymore.

[This phrasing of a particular question is going to get old real quick.]

» video

[yourbestguysgun]

No? [ That's a good thing. He doesn't approve of kids fighting anyway. ] You and your buddies recognise me when I can't figure out how.`

» video

[joiedeviolet]

[It's not, Bucky. People died. Friends died. Kids died. It's not as good as you think it is.]

It's complicated. Have you ever heard of alternate dimensions?

[She's so not going to tell him he's supposed to be dead.]

» video

[yourbestguysgun]

In my pulp fiction books, sure.

[joiedeviolet]

Only they're real.

» video

[yourbestguysgun]

Right. Colour me confused.

[joiedeviolet]

I'm sorry? I mean, I just got here so I don't know how to explain how it works here, but I do know that I do know you and you're a great guy so... it's not like I hate you or anything.

[yourbestguysgun]

Thanks, I think.

[ Because it's not as though he can blame her. This place is a little bit weird. Maybe she's got him mistaken for some other guy. ]
