WHO: Adult!Bucky!Cap and you?
WHERE: Around this snowy planet they're on.
WHAT: It's tough to be an adult when your best-friend-slash-boyfriend is not. Or, come to think of it, most of the people you know...
WHEN: Anytime during the Us Make For They event~
WARNINGS: Just Bucky-appropriate swearing, I think?

Bucky knew better than to just shove the first - or fifth - thing he came across in the village into his mouth. And once he saw the effect it was having on others... well, he doubly knew better. Which means, of course, now he is one of only a few adults in a sea of super-powered and/or hyperactive children. It... kinda feels like old times, except during actual old times, Steve was a lot easier to keep up with.

Either way - Bucky's got experience. He can be found doing his best to chase down kids and make sure they're dressed warmly enough, not getting into too much trouble, and getting enough non-candy items to eat. Once the candles appear and start multiplying, he might start hoarding the ones he can get his hands on - some of which turn out to be power crystals, so hey. There's that. His bunk on the Bloodsport - which is where he goes to catch catnaps, few and far between though they might be (thank God for being a super soldier) - has started to accumulate what looks like a year's worth of candles and power crystals on, around, and underneath it. Look, you can never have too many supplies.

After a day or two, he decides he's calling in reinforcements over the network:

Adults, sound off. We should each try taking a couple of kids apiece, based on who's got the resources to manage which powers or abilities or whatever. If we split up the responsibility, I think we've got the best chance at keeping everything under control.

I call Steve. And anyone else no one wants to handle, I guess.


He also shoots his beardy, metal-armed counterpart a text after he discovers the sweaters their hosts left for them: Hey. I think we're supposed to share. You want first dibs?

Hello, I'm able to help out and watch over the kids as well.

I'll admit some of them are hard to recognize who they are. I'll list any names that come to mind. How many were you able to figure out?

You call Steve, huh? Guess I can't blame you if you can't handle more than just the one kid if that's who you've already got on your hands.

He has a healthy suspicion when it comes to putting unknown substances in his mouth.

Looks like that goes for both of you.

But if you need a break from Steve, I could spot you.

I'll be happy to help with watching over the children. Splitting up the responsibility sounds good. I might be able to help the ones with abilities. I have a means to defend myself if it gets too out of hand.

There could be danger with one person watching all the children. But I would like to believe children would want to feel protected.

It's not strong magic abilities, but I did get to keep lower abilities of the magic I know. I do not plan on using any of it unless I have to. I'm not one to start unnecessary fights. I know negotiating with children is not easy.

Why does that make it more frightening somehow?

Are we talking 's'posed to be adults' or 'are currently adults'?

[That is a kid's voice. But shh, that's not important at the moment.]

Noctis.

I'm not much help if you're looking for a babysitter, but I could figure something else out.

The worst part of half of us being children, many of them with super powers and mischievous dispositions, is that you can't indulge you sweet tooth?

Just making sure I have this straight.

I will take your word for it since you've been here longer and you would know certain people better than I.

Not all of us can be parents. You do not have to worry. It is good to make sure that people can handle certain pressures. Misbehaving kids need to be taught, some of these kids may just need words of encouragement.

[Carol looks to be somewhere between 9 and 12, and she folds her arms defiantly.]

I don't need to be handled.
