[Late at night. Blame insomnia.]

Is Snooky a common name? This television program is [...] something else.

	Maybe. [He looks at the remote in Bucky's hand, then back to his friend. He looks like he's about to say something, when Bucky catches him off-guard.] Agent Romanoff? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Bucky tilts his head toward Steve, frowning.] Yeah, Black Widow. You don't know her yet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I do. [He smiles.] You two are....? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Bucky snorts again.] Depends on the day. Or the year. [But they always ended up back together, one way or the other.] I trained her. [Not really sure how to go about this] The Russians took me, I was in the ice too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You finally settled down, huh? [The smile wanes in confusion.] 'Took you'? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

We don't really label. [A hand run through his newly cut hair. The long hair didn't suit the fact he was supposed to be Cap now, so he cut it. Now that wasn't a problem.] They took me prisoner. They hooked me up to machines and turned me into a weapon called the Winter Soldier. I was put on ice and thawed out for decades whenever they needed a job done. [It is difficult to talk about, but being direct worked for him.] That's more or less what happened.

	[Steve stiffens, leaning forward on the sofa to look at Bucky.] What? [He boggles.] Are you - okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That reaction is harder to deal with than what happened originally, because at least then both he and Steve were coping with the same thing. Bucky sighs and rubs his eyes wearily.] No, not even close. You used the Cosmic Cube so I'd remember. [A shrug of one shoulder.] They made a mistake, thinking I'd kill you. I couldn't, even with the brainwashing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Blinking.] Bucky, - I'm so sorry. The last I -- I thought you were... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Pepper's apt: Bucky B/Steve R wintercame 2014-03-13 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	[Bucky puts a hand on Steve's shoulder lightly.] It wasn't your fault. If I got to argue this with you again, I will. I know how you get. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We should've checked [...] to see. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You didn't think there was much left to find. It was a close shave. Lost my arm in the explosion. [Not realizing yet that isn't the same experience. He pulls off the glove so Steve can see the metal cybernetic hand.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Looking at the arm, lost.] Explosion? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Pepper's apt: Bucky B/Steve R wintercame 2014-03-13 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, in the fight with Nemo. [A little surprised, blinking at Steve.] I was stuck to the plane and it exploded, I made you get off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You fell off -- you fell off the train. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Pepper's apt: Bucky B/Steve R wintercame 2014-03-13 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	A train? [Not familiar to him, thinking it over.] Got to admit my memory is spotty, Cap. They've wiped it so many times I don't always know what's real or not. But I remember the explosion, that's how I lost the arm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Pepper's apt: Bucky B/Steve R foundling 2014-03-13 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	[Thinking.] Maybe you - maybe I'm not your Cap. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Bucky makes a face] Of course you are, look at you. You're Steve Rogers. Captain America. I was your plucky sidekick for years. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Pepper's apt: Bucky B/Steve R foundling 2014-03-13 09:05 pm UTC (link)
	I was more your sidekick, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Pepper's apt: Bucky B/Steve R wintercame 2014-03-13 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	[Bucky eyes Steve and then slowly gets up. He doesn't reach for his gun though, but instead looks around the room, no doubt for cameras.] I was chosen to be your sidekick. It was a calculated decision. I was sixteen. What do you mean by not your Cap? [The answer to that is very important.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Pepper's apt: Bucky B/Steve R foundling 2014-03-13 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	[Keeping calm, speaking fondly.] The Bucky I knew was my friend. I knew him before I was ever Captain America. He was a great man, ladies were always sweet on him even though he could be a bit of a buffoon. [Steve smiles.] Then -- after I enlisted too... [He swallows.] And I became Captain America, ... I lost him again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alternate realities, maybe? The one and only time I wish Richards was around. It would explain the time discrepancies and why this place is ... different. [He frowns, and leans against the nearby wall, keeping distance between them but not leaving.] On a train. [A wave of emotion over his face] That means mine is still dead.

	I'm sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Pepper's apt: Bucky B/Steve R wintercame 2014-03-13 09:58 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah me too. Should've punched Stark some more, while I had the chance. [Bucky smiles a little] Sorry about yours too. I know this doesn't sound right, but he might've gotten lucky. What I went through, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Pepper's apt: Bucky B/Steve R foundling 2014-03-13 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	[Steve picks up the remote and turns it over in his hands. He glances up at Bucky.] You can stay. I -- we - whatever the universe, we're friends, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
