WHO: Bucky Barnes and America Chavez
WHAT: Sgt. Barnes has arrived
WHERE: Center of town
WHEN: Evening
RATING: Lowish maybe some swearing?

What the hell is going on? He thought, as he stared at the area around him. It certainly wasn't Wakanda, which was where he should be. The battle was about to begin. Bucky looked down at himself. He was still wearing the modified, updated uniform Shuri had designed for him that, funnily enough, looked like a modernized version of his old Howlies uniform. Leave it to the Wakandan Princess to come up with an idea like that. He glanced to the left and curled his fingers into a fist; yes, it was still the same arm he'd also been given as a means for fighting and functionality. A quick scan over himself showed him his weapons were all where he'd strapped them to himself. In other words, he was still himself but the world around him had changed. So then, why?

Rather than ponder it out in the open, Bucky quickly ducked around the side of a building to stay out of sight. He knew about the Infinity Stones, about what each of them did. Was Thanos using the Reality Stone to make everything appear altered? Was he actually still in Wakanda, about to converse with Steve before they lined up for battle? Was this some attempt to confuse everyone by changing their reality? For that matter, was anyone else around? He didn't see anyone as he peered out from around the wall of the building where he was hiding. Drawing his rifle, he used the scope to see even further, his sight already amplified by the super soldier serum running through him.

It didn't appear that there were any threats around, but Bucky of all people knew it was impossible to be too careful in an unknown situation so he kept the rifle raised, and took a few steps out, then another few until he'd reached the center again. Were those footsteps he heard? Bucky whipped around quickly in the direction he'd hear them coming from. Show your face, he thought.

"Don't worry, I wasn't doing much. I've just been trying to see if I can make a portal to get back home - I hoped maybe I could bring one up at some other point in town," She explained as she shrugged, it wasn't like she was back home with things constantly demanding her attention. If she could say nothing else about this place she could say she appreciated that things were a little less hectic here. Her phone wasn't constantly blowing up, there were no battles she had to fly into, no papers that were due, no new movies to check out, no messages, no nothing really. Okay the more she thought about it the worse it got, so instead she focused on the parts that were good - that she wasn't constantly being called in to help clean up some mess that someone had stepped in.

"I'm around if you ever need to... I don't know, talk to someone?" She suggested shrugging, it wasn't like she was the best conversationalist in the world, but all things considered she wouldn't mind at all being able to say that she was friends with Bucky Barnes. "Or if you need anything I guess." She added. "But here's your phone it connects to some sort of local network, but it's not the internet, I don't really get it - but that's not my thing really. I guess that's it really, not much of a welcome, but this doesn't seem to be much of a place so I guess I can't be faulted too much for that."

Bucky was, admittedly, overwhelmed despite the area being a bit underwhelming. He still had a lot of questions but none of them really seemed to have any answers at this point. That wasn't exactly abnormal for someone who'd spent a lot of time trying to find answers to questions about the majority of his life while he was piecing his memory back together. If he started letting the questions build up, it'd be too much. He just needed to try to focus on what was in front of him, instead of the unknown.

It seemed as though he'd been brought here, if he had things like a phone and there was a network of sorts. Something was 'in charge' so to speak, but he wasn't going to venture into that void of wondering at this point. Not yet, anyway. America was trying to be supportive despite not really knowing him, which was incredibly kind. It didn't go unnoticed. "I appreciate that," he said. "It sounds like we're all in the same position here. If there's anything I can ever do for you, please don't hesitate to find me or I guess, ask over the network? If that's how it works."

"Yeah we are," She agreed with a low huff, shaking her head, it was a situation she was unused to - being stuck in a place and not being able to get out. She didn't enjoy it one bit. And she could just imagine that none of the others were exactly enjoying the prospect of this either.

"I will," She agreed, it was pretty cool to be able to say that she had someone like Bucky Barnes she could call on if need be. "Same goes for you, the net is probably a good way to go about things. Or you know just wave if you see me around. I'll be wandering around trying to make the portals work, so you know." She shrugged.

"I'll leave you to it," She said finally, she got the impression that he was still figuring things out and making sense of all of this and if he was anything like her then he'd want to be alone while he worked on that. So she thought making herself scarce wouldn't be a bad idea. "I'll see you around, Bucky."
