WARNINGS: Bucky Barnes has a potty mouth


[ When the video feed opens up, it's a face that hasn't been around for an entire month. He's unshaven, trying to keep the scowl off his face because it's not anybody's fault this shit always seems to happen to him, but here we are. Winter starts off just scratching at his beard to collect his thoughts. ]

Alright. First thing's first.. What the fuck is going on?

[ Thoughts scattered to the wind. All semblance of control of this situation gone. Good job, Barnes. A+. He huffs, looks off toward the room he's in for a moment, and regains focus. ]

Someone want to fill me in on the current situation? Can't say that I've got a passion for waking up in strange places with no memory of it happening.

I wish you weren't over there while I'm stuck over here.

[He knows that, but she wants to say it. She's missed him so much it aches.]

Doesn't seem fair.

[reconstitution]

Wish you weren't, either. I could really use your company right about now.

[ He just wants a Nat-shaped hug. ]

[outstandingbalance]

[She feels this too, honestly.]

I'm always here to talk, at least. If you want to talk.

[reconstitution]

...Nat, I swear I'm seeing things.

[outstandingbalance]

Tell me about it?

[reconstitution]

The first time I saw it was back at the hospital, but I chalked it up to being out of it..

[outstandingbalance]

But now something has changed you mind. What is it?

[reconstitution]

Started fucking talking to it. Here. Not out there.

[outstandingbalance]

James... Who were you talking to?

[reconstitution]

[ He shakes his head. ]

I don't know. Can never get a good look at 'em.

[outstandingbalance]

Then what are they? Tell me whatever you know?

[reconstitution]

A figure in a cloak. Looks ragged, talks in echoes.

[ Which is really what's getting him caught on the fact that it might be in his head- parroting his words back at him. ]

[outstandingbalance]

I don't understand. You saw him on the ship?

[The. Not his. His ship was still the Heron in her mind, or Vanquish though that's more their ship, or her ship.]

[reconstitution]

After I woke up there-- here. Yeah.

[outstandingbalance]

What did it say?

[reconstitution]

It talked about not remembering. Being ghosts and still living and being trapped. It wasn't about being trapped here. It knew, somehow..

[outstandingbalance]

And you think you're hallucinating this. You don't think—you don't think it could be something else?

[reconstitution]

At this point, I don't know what to think.. I can't rule it out.

[outstandingbalance]

I'm here for you, James. Even if I can't be there, I'm still here.

And I trust you.

[reconstitution]

I know, Nat, and I trust you more than I trust myself.

[ He thunks his head against the wall behind him. ]

Just worried.

[outstandingbalance]

I don't blame you.

[She's worried for him as well.]

Who else is over there with you? Anyone you know at all?

[reconstitution]

Can't say there are any familiar faces.

[outstandingbalance]

I'm sorry.

I'll be over there with you when I can be.
