Tia didn't understand what was going on. One second she was talking back from Tony's room to hers at Pine Woods Orphanage and the second she was in a park. She was in her night gown, it was day time, she didn't hear the dogs anymore and she didn't see the building Tony had been visualizing. The ten year old girl was very confused. She was distracted for a moment when she felt something brush up her leg. Looking down, she smiled when she saw a black cat at her feet. "Winky! You're here too. I'm so glad" She said to the cat as she leaned down and pet him. "I wonder if Tony is" She pondered, looking up and around her for a moment before she called out to him in her mind. Tony. Tony, are you here?

"It's nice to meet you, Mr Bucky" She told him with a soft smile. That was just another way for her to respect her elder that she was taught growing up. Even when she was told not to us Mr or Ms it was a hard habit to break. Winky began purring at the attention he was getting and rubbed up against Bucky's hand as Tia listened to him. "Yes except I wasn't sleeping. I went into my brother's room to show him my broken star case" She held up her wrist to show the star case that wrapped around it and hanging down. "I showed up here when I opened the door to go back to my room. That's why I'm in my nightgown" She explained as she lowered her wrist back down.

The corners of his eyes crinkled slightly when she called him Mr. Bucky, the sentiment hitting a bit harder than it probably should have. His gaze shifted down to the star case around her wrist when she mentioned it, brought it up for him to see, then returned to watch her speak. Whatever was going on in Goodland, he didn’t appreciate it for himself but he’d forgo that for how much he didn’t think it was right to rope kids into it.

“Don’t worry, you’re okay,” he said quietly, offering her what he hoped was a reassuring smile. He pulled the note from the air nearby, holding it carefully in his hand as he held it out to her. “I had one of these when I got here, you want to read it with me?”

She nodded her head when he said she was okay, believing him. She really had no reason not to at this point. When she saw him reach out, she turned to see what he was reaching and he gasped when she caught a glimpse of the note floating in the air.

Did she do that with realizing it? Was Tony there trying to get her attention? She couldn't help but look around again as she called out to her brother. Tony was that you? Are you here or did I do that?. Usually, she had to concentrate to make things float but this floated when she was distracted. It didn't make any sense. ?None of this did but maybe this letter could explain some of it.

Turning back to Bucky a moment later, she put Winky back down on the ground as she nodded her head. "Yes. Let's read it" She replied as she took it from him.

Bucky shifted enough to be able to look at the note while Tia held it, not sure about kids these days. Like, what size equaled what age or what the knew how to do for any of it. She seemed sure enough about reading but he was there in case it didn’t work out. He waited, giving her a chance to read over the note, gaze flickering between the paper and her face to see her reaction.

“See? We’re all just here together, and looks like you have a place to live on the first floor of the building. I’m on the fourth. Looks like you’ll be getting a guardian, too.”

Reading was not a problem for her at all nor was comprehension and she understood everything in the letter pretty well. The look on her face was of of understanding as she read through it. She wasn't sure what was weirder, the things she could with her mind or what the letter said. It was quite the toss up!

When she was time, she looked back to him and nodded her head. "I hope my guardian likes cats" She commented with a shall laugh as Winky rubbed up against both of their legs. It seemed like he didn't want to go too far from her, almost like he was protecting her. "Could you take me there please? I shouldn't be outside too long in just my nightgown" She wasn't even wearing shoes at the moment. She only had slippers on her feet.

He was glad she seemed to take the letter at face value, since he didn’t really have answers to questions she might have asked otherwise. Bucky glanced down at the cat, then at what Tia was wearing, Whoever or whatever the ‘entity’ was, it really didn’t seem to care what state it brought people in.

“Yeah, I can take you there,” he said, reaching down to pet Winky absently when he rubbed up against his legs. “You cold?”

	"Thank you" She replied, her long blonde hair shaking with her as she shook her head to answer his question. "No, sir. The sun is keeping me warm" She told him, smiling as she looked up at the sun. She took a moment to bask in the sun then she looked down to Winky for a moment as he meowed at her. "We're ready" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bucky hesitated, almost giving her his jacket anyway, but she didn't look cold, no shivering or goosebumps. “Okay. Well if you get cold or your slippers aren't cutting it, let me know.” Because it wasn't a really long walk, but it was long enough and likely even longer seeming for someone that small.

“The cat gonna follow alright?” he asked, starting down the path with her.

"I will" She replied with another nod of her head as they began walking. She trusted this man to take her to where she needed to go and had no other reason not to. "Yes but it might be easier if I carry him. C'mon Winky" She stopped for a moment to pick him up then she continued walking petting him as she did. "Am I really in 2019? That's so far into the future!" She asked as she looked up at him.

	He kept his pace slower to match hers, not wanting to walk too fast for Tia to keep up. She had little legs and wasn’t wearing real shoes. Bucky gave a quiet noise of confirmation when she asked about the year, having no real reason not to believe it since that’s what everyone seemed to say. “Yeah. What year are you from?” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tia had read what year it was in the letter but that part was so unbelievable that she needed verbal confirmation to really come to terms with it. "1975" That explained her nightgown that would be considered vintage in modern terms. It had more of a carpetbag pattern to it than a cartoon character and it being long-sleeved was helping her not be cold. "This isn't what I picture the future to look like" She told him as she looked around, scrunching her nose up a little bit.

	That made Bucky smile slightly, a wry twist of his lips as he looked down at Tia and gave a shake of his head. “Me either. Thought there'd be flying cars and all kinds of sh — stuff.” He appreciated that the cat didn't seem to fuss about being carried, cry or scratch or any of that. “Where you live? New York?” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
