Bucky & Jack
"Holotaped movies sounds really interesting." Giving Jack a weak smile, Bucky tried to process what he'd said. Bucky wasn't necessarily surprised by that revelation. Jack seemed like a soldier and someone who could take care of business if needed. He appreciated the trust to reveal that, he definitely wouldn't share it with anyone. It felt like he should offer a confidence in return. Thinking about how to say it, how to reveal a bit, it wasn't like Nick and that other spy woman would keep quiet about his past. "I was captured, in the War, and they... they did this to me," he pointed to his metal hand and forearm that was visible under his button up shirt, "and they made me forget my life, myself. Destroyed my mind in some ways, and then sent me out to kill and torture people." He shuddered violently with only saying the words, thinking about it.
"I did that for 70 years, in between I was put into cryo when they didn't need me. I finally escaped about a year or so ago, because of Steve. I finally have a lot of my memories back now, maybe most of them." He said it all quietly and evenly, mostly looking at his hands, or the fire. He wasn't really prepared to talk much about this, but he wanted to share. Jack deserved to know what kind of guy he was if he was going to be so forthcoming with Bucky about his own past. "I feel like being here, may be the first time I've felt happiness in more than 70 years. It's crazy, before I was just desperately trying to survive and evade recapture. Here, I finally feel safe. At least, safer than I have in longer than I can remember."
Bucky smiled grimly at Jack. "You and Steve should talk. He watched me fall to my 'death' where I was captured. It's hard, losing your best friend in the war. I thought he was dead too, they showed me newspapers while I was a prisoner, part of the torture and breaking process you know. Your Friend ain't coming, he'd rescued me from them before." Bucky sighed, this was too depressing. He'd now told Jack more than he'd told Steve about HYDRA so far. Though, Steve had probably read a fair amount in reports and the like about him. "That's really awful though, I'm sorry that happened to you."
"I actually... did something earlier. So, I'm making baby steps, about not being...without here forever. Not like back home was." He said it softly, embarrassed and red faced about it.
