Tony & Bucky
WHO: Tony Stark & Bucky Barnes
WHAT: Into the forest
WHERE: Spooky Door
STATUS: Threading
WARNINGS: Language, violence

Tony did not plan to go through the creepy door. He really was making good on his promise to Pepper to retire from the superhero gig. There were plenty of heroes in Goodland that could help should things go belly up, after all. However, the door seemed to have some sort of gravitational pull so Tony found himself in the middle of a forest. The forest was dark and there was an annoying humming sound, but everything seemed calm. Still, Tony summoned his suit, thanking the entity that it flew to him.

He crept around, trying to find a way out.

"As real as any of this is," said Bucky, brushing away some of the excess straw that had fallen on his clothes and in his hair. His first time in Goodland, the strange occurrences had mostly been benign, and the same had been the case since his return. He'd heard from a few others of dangerous instances. He guessed it was about time one popped up again; he just hasn't expected it to be this.

"Did you come through a door from Goodland? One that appeared out of no where?" If there were multiple ways to be brought here then maybe there were multiple ways to get out. So far he hadn't been able to find any doors inside the forest that would take them back home. If the doors appeared and disappeared at random, it was possible if they stayed put then one would randomly appear near them, but Bucky wasn't the type that could stand still for very long. "We should probably keep mov-..."

The sound was muffled because of the humming noise all around, but Bucky's words trailed off when he hard the rustling of what sounded like leaves but instead were several more scarecrows running towards them. "Or hold that thought," he said, gripping the pitchfork tightly in his hand.

The humming was really annoying, but he couldn't have F.R.I.D.A.Y. put up blockers since he needed to hear what else was going on around him. Still, it was hard to focus on what Bucky was saying and keep watch for the scarecrows.

"Great," Tony replied as he held up his blasters. "Let's rock and roll." He started moving through the scarecrows, blasting as best he could. It was a mess and he was glad his eyes were shielded from the scratchy straw.

The only positive to fighting a scarecrow in the middle of an unknown forest was that.. he was fighting a scarecrow. There was no need to worry whether or not he could go for the kill since these things weren't actually alive. Right? Their straw went everywhere each time he speared one with the pitchfork, but he also had fought next to a raccoon and a tree at some point or another.

When they had another break in straw men coming for them, Bucky looked through the trees as best he could to make sure it was actually a break. They seemed to be alright for the time being at least.

"Do you know how we're supposed to get out of here?" He asked Tony, hoping for some sort of answer but guessing he knew as about as much of this forest as he did -- not a lot.

"The door I came through disappeared right after I got here."

	Tony kept a look out as well, using his AI to survey their surroundings. He was damn grateful FRIDAY was working in the crazy, magical forest. "Another door?" he ventured. "Unless this another maze type thing. You weren't here for that, were you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bucky shook his head but still kept his eyes on their surroundings. He doubted that it would be too long before another one of the scarecrows popped out of the darkness to attack them again.

"No, but I've heard a few stories about what happened when it was here." Something Bucky wasn't disappointed to have missed. So far he wasn't too worried about this forest, they were able to handle the creatures easily enough, but he knew that could change on a dime.

"So we find another door." One could pop up anywhere or it was possible that there was only one door that would take them back home. "At this point it's probably best to stay together, but we can start looking for one." In the dark forest that seemed to go on forever.
