WHAT: Arrival
WHEN: Early June
WARNINGS: TBD




Arrival
Bucky was still reeling from having that information forcibly shoved into his mind, and he took a half step back, eyes narrowing at the data point as he tried to push down the memories it evoked.

He had to focus.

Aliens. It just had to be aliens. Sam was never going to give it a rest now. The damn 'Big Three'.

He rubbed a hand over his brow and sighed, lifting it again to spot a figure in the distance.

"Hey- wait up-" he called, not sure if they were a fellow 'He Row' or one of the jerks that had brought him here, but either way- he wanted a word.

Network

[Bucky looks a bit uncomfortable on camera, offering a stiff smile for a moment, before quickly abandoning it.]

Hey- uh...

[He frowns and tries to wave an insistent mothkitten away, but the gleam of his arm keeps drawing it back.]

Someone wanna catch me up on this place?

The Deep End

His fingers drummed on the countertop, frowning in thought. Of course when he'd finally reached a place where he was ready to explore opening up he got pulled away to fight someone else's fight.

It didn't feel right to be so bitter, he's put a lot of bad out into the universe, if some force out there wanted to make him to continue to make amends for that could he really object?...Definitely. But it didn't do much to help the conflict in his mind.
He tried to think about what the doc might say. She'd never dealt with anything quite like this, but that was true for most everything they talked about, and she did all right.

"...How long have you been here?" he asked, breaking that long silence with a sudden turn of his head to acknowledge he wasn't alone, taking a long sip of his drink.

Comments

[thestaremaster]

[Aaaaaaand it's an alien. Great. Bucky's all ready tense smile stiffens that much more.]

Uh....no. Looking for a...summary of events?

[kree_soldieress]

[Yes, aliens exist. Don't grimace at her.]

Ah, I cannot provide a very large one, but I can speak to the spider attack, and going to another planet, and then the super hero world that Wiccan created by accident.

[thestaremaster]

[He hasn't had great experiences with aliens so far, all right? And the grimace is a pretty key feature.

He blinks, not one bit of that sounding like something he wants to be a part of, and he sighs heavily.]

The what that who created by accident??

[kree_soldieress]

Super hero world, mimicking that of the Earth of my own dimension, created by Billy. He is a super hero, the son of the Scarlet Witch. It has been resolved. But many people here existed as super heroes there. It was... strange.

[thestaremaster]

Strange about covers it.

So uh...when you aren't in...super hero worlds, or...fighting off spiders(?)- [He pauses to frown quizzically]- What's the day-to-day like?

[kree_soldieress]

Oh, we all find things to do. I expect there will be more investigation into the storms soon, and whatever race has caused the problems for the Agrii. But there are many things to do. I do security patrols, help people get fit, and I am working with Cobb to start a shooting range.

[thestaremaster]

Right.

[Bucky rubs at the bridge of his nose with the back of his thumb, frowning. This is...a lot.]

So uh- didn't catch your name actually-

[kree_soldieress]

[Ah, yes, she can do that. She smiles widely.]

I am Lauri-Ell of the Kree-Skrull Alliance.

[thestaremaster]

[He squints a little, recognizing those terms separately, but space stuff on top of all the history back home, he's not sure if that's something he should be aware of or not.]

Bucky. Of...Brooklyn.

[kree_soldieress]

Oh! That is part of New York City! I have been there. My sister lives there. It was a very nice city. The flowers were beautiful.

[thestaremaster]

Small world. Your sister look like you?

[kree_soldieress]

No, Carol looks more like our mother. She is merely half-Kree, and takes after our mother, who was a pink-skinned Kree.

[thestaremaster]

...Last name wouldn't happen to be Danvers, would it?

[kree_soldieress]

[He knows her! Lauri-Ell's race radiates delight.]

Yes. Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel. She is my half sister. She is a good and noble warrior!

[thestaremaster]

Saw her work when we fought Thanos, she's impressive.

[kree_soldieress]

My sister has fought the Mad Titan?

Well of course she is impressive. She likely won. I am proud of her.

[thestaremaster]

Punched through a whole ship. She held her own pretty damn well.

[kree_soldieress]

Ah yes, that most definitely sounds like Carol. I am glad she has achieved much.
