[Network/Video] Backdated to late April

[The warlord isn't seated on his throne chair but against a wall, or rather practically wedged in a corner as the adjoining faces can be seen just behind him. While his expression doesn't really betray anything, his body language suggests exhaustion, slumped as he is. When he speaks up, his tone sounds a little hollower than usual.]

...he...has escaped...

[With effort he draws himself up in a brief but failed attempt to sit straighter. That burning gaze of his turns towards some point off-screen before he lowers his head with something of a sigh.]

I was...unable to stop them.

[ this is starting to feel uncomfortable and he bites his bottom lip. ]

I mean it's not like I have anything better to do? And I have super strength so really, I'm the obvious choice to go look for him.

[tyrants_son]

I still do not advise it. Certainly not alone.

[hashtagparkerluck]

yeah but I also have my spider-sense that tells me when I'm in danger. What's the worst that could happen? I can handle myself-plus I've got my webs.

[tyrants_son]

Your... "spider-sense" [wut] did not seem to favor you in Beck's presence before, and this time... he is not alone. ...Beck has said he had no intent to hurt you... unless you get in the way.

[hashtagparkerluck]

yeah well, if he's gonna hurt someone else, I'm going to get in his way.

but I don't have to get close if I find them. I just have to web them in place.

[tyrants_son]

...exactly my point. We have established that the man is dangerous. ...with Bucky on his side, even more so...

[hashtagparkerluck]

I'll be okay, honest.

I should have paid more attention before. I need to help.

[tyrants_son]

I cannot stop you... But I still insist you not go alone... if you intend to go at all.

[ Yipe. ]

i wasnt thinking about anything.

and you can't honestly expect me to do nothing.

[thestaremaster]

I expect you to sit right where you are and not move a muscle. This is not a fight for you.

[ this is a text. ]

[ Why does this text have a certain tone to it? ]

but i want to help!

[thestaremaster]

[Bucky skills.
The stare transcends text.]

You can help by not getting in the way. Let me handle this.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ thanks, he hates it. ]

but what if you get hurt? This is my fault

I should have paid more attention but I ignored it when something felt off.

Text

[thestaremaster]

This is Beck's fault.
No one else's.

And fighting the Winter Soldier is not like fighting me. If you face him you will die. Let me handle this.

[ Does everyone just keep forgetting that he's spider-man and can stop a buss with his hands? Plus bench press a building? Well part of a building anyway. ]

fine.

[ Is all he texts back. Does this mean he's actually going to listen? Probably not. But Bucky doesn't need to know that. ]
