[ The video turns on when paws stamp on it and the feed blurs when blue cotton and brown fuzzy felt drag along it. The voice sounds kind of softer than it would before. Bucky's voice - but quieter. Muffled maybe. ] Crepe, Crepe.

[ She's got something caught in her teeth, a bear by the looks of it, and she pulls it up to the couch and nuzzles at it with her noise. Paws pin it down and she lays her head on its stomach. ]

Okay, that's better. Now, stop dragging me 'round the place, okay kid?



(( ooc: actual teddy bear bucky barnes. because a-babies vs. x-babies made my heart giddy and I couldn't resist. ))

Could bring Fury over, let them have a play date while you wait out the curse.

[ Not that he wants your company or anything, Bucky. ]

[ Video ]

[yourbestguysgun]

You must really want out of the house, huh?

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Whoever told you that is lying.

[ He's so convincing. ] Ever think I just wanna see this without the camera getting in the way? Take a few pictures, tweet about it.

[ Video ]

[yourbestguysgun]

I don't even know what that means, Barton.

[ What the hell is tweeting? ] You can come over if you want.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

[ He sighs, all put out. ] My bad. You '40s boys can never truly appreciate the humour with reference to anything beyond the Wizard of Oz.

[ He shrugs, visible on screen, and acts like he doesn't care when he really sort of maybe does. ] Sure. Steve'd kill me if I saw all this and did nothing to stop it.

[ Video ]

[yourbestguysgun]

It was a good movie. [ And a way to find guys who were out for a good time, he supposes. But he doesn't need that anymore. Not with Steve now. ]

Don't forget to bring Fury.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Except the flying monkeys, right? 'Cause they even freaked me out.

[ Holding up the lead as he rummages around. ] Never leave this guy behind.

[ Video ]

[yourbestguysgun]

Don't mention the flying monkeys.

[ Crepe suddenly takes this as invitation to drag him by the ear again .] Okay, seriously, come over right now.

[ Video ]

[bettercallit]

Received and understood.

[ Laughing as the feed cuts out, but not before he gets in a quick. ] On my way.

[ By the time Clint gets there, Crepe is trying to pull Bucky through the bedroom door by his foot. ]

[ Action ]

[bettercallit]

[ As much as it pains him, Clint lets himself into the apartment via the front door, Fury at his side, and just in time to see Crepe sneaking away. ]

Crepe, come here, girl, look who I brought you.

[ Action ]

[yourbestguysgun]

Oh thank christ.

[ Crepe bounds over to Clint and Fury, leaving the Bucky bear face down on the floor. ]

[ Action ]

[bettercallit]

You in full working order?

[ Taking off Fury's lead, he guides them into another room, closes the door on them long enough to scoop up Bucky and admire his stitching. ]

:[ Action ]

[yourbestguysgun]

I don't know. Can't feel anything when I'm like this. [ Which is pretty much horrifying but he doesn't think Crepe has done much damage. ]

[ Action ]

[bettercallit]

[ He's holding him out in front of him as if he's a baby with a stinky nappy. ]

Can't see much in the way of damage, think I got here just in time. [ Because he can't help himself, he pokes at the bear's stomach, tickling it. ] How about that, feel it?

[ Action ]

[yourbestguysgun]

No, but quit that.

[ Action ]

[bettercallit]

[ Grinning, giving it another go for good measure. ] Could get used to this, it's easier to taunt you when you can't throw a punch.

[ Action ]

[yourbestguysgun]

I'll remember it for next time, don't think I won't.

[ Action ]

[bettercallit]

That's if your little stuffed bear brain can remember that long. [ Petting him on the head. ] You're actually kinda cute, I think I prefer you this way.

[ Action ]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He half growls. Which you know, as he's a teddy bear. ]

Just put me somewhere high.

[ Action ]

[bettercallit]

You're extra adorable when you're angry.

[ He does put him down, though, up on the window sill, but not before he gives him a big squishy hug. ]

[ Action ]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ dfghjkl;' ]

Barton, I swear.

[ Action ]

[bettercallit]

Can't a guy get some love?

[ No, really, can't they? He shoves the curtains further aside to give him a view. ]

[ Action ]

[yourbestguysgun]

Thanks.

[ Pause. ] You okay, Barton?

[ Action ]

[bettercallit]

[ He shrugs a 'you're welcome'. ]

Define okay. But out of the two of us, I'm not a cuddly teddy.
