Am I back? ( A beat. ) I'm back, aren't I? 'cept it's busy. Is it one of those weekends? Does that mean I'm just visiting, then?

( Yes, this is Amy Pond, sitting down on the edge of the fountain — a little older. ) How long has it been? Bucky? ( A painfully hopeful expression. ) Doctor? Doctor, are you here?



(ooc; Anything goes for Amy. Also, she's back from being canon updated, and she's a few years after The Angels Take Manhattan now. )

Yeah.

[ Taking a deep gulp of his burning coffee. ] She's not the first person to bring it up, Loki called me something else too. The Winter Soldier. So did Kate, and Billy. I just thought it was a mistake, that these people kept recognising me. But she uh - Nat, she knows me. Properly. She knows who I am now and what's going to happen.

[waitedforyears]

Tell me.

[yourbestguysgun]

I -- I guess the Russian's find me. I don't know how. But she said uh, that they do something, an experiment I guess, to make me more like Captain America. Or the commie version anyway.

[ Breathing out. ] She says I won't remember who I am, that I'll be this - assassin - this thing they use. And Steve won't know until it's too late.

[waitedforyears]

Is she from your future? ( Because that. No. She won't let that happen to Jaime. ) 'cause there's different universes, you know there are. It might not be you.

[yourbestguysgun]

I don't know, I don't know. [ Burying his face in his hands. ] I'm fucked, Ames. I just - I don't want to die and I don't want to lose this, and it's just - I'm messing it up with Steve because I don't know how t'tell him that I can't let go of him, I just can't.

[waitedforyears]

Hey, hey. look at me. You're all right, Jaime, right now. Pretty sure she's not from your world, okay, because there's stuff that doesn't add up and you're okay now. Tell Steve. Just that, what you told me now.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Sighing. ]

I just feel so dumb.

[waitedforyears]

Oh, shut up. You're not, life just sucks. Seriously, though, talk to him.

[yourbestguysgun]

Every time I try I clam up.

[waitedforyears]

Don't be an idiot. He loves you.

[yourbestguysgun]

Maybe he shouldn't.

[waitedforyears]

You really are daft. He does, Jaime, and you deserve it, too.
