I got it when I was thirteen. Mom and I were just coming back from the Orange County Astronomer's Club. I don't remember much about it, actually. One minute, I was talking to my mom, and she was... she was beautiful. Laughing and smiling about something I said.
[Tap tap tap.]
Next thing I knew, I woke up in the hospital with a bunch of bandages around me. [He lets out a sigh, though he refuses to take his eyes off the stars.] They told me a drunk driver hit us from the oncoming lane... and that mom didn't make it. [Taptaptap.] Apparently, a piece of the windshield cut my nose pretty bad, and it turned into a scar that'll never go away. I guess it's a really bad metaphor, or something like that.
no subject
[it's something he's always thought, despite knowing that his arm is the only scar he'll ever have. hydra's technology with the tesseract is unimaginably streamlined. between his own experimentation and their facilities, commander has never needed to worry about anything leaving scars.
[with the paranoia he's been slowly feeding lately, his statement I'm response is the real terrible metaphor.]
I'm sorry about your mother. I can't imagine how much that hurts.
[that nagging voice in the back of his head says it's because he doesn't remember his.]
no subject
"On a road, not even knowing I was about to lose my mom?", says the more cynical part of himself that he doesn't really visit much. But yeah... he understands what Commander's saying, and he likes to think of it that way rather than a cruel metaphor.]
That was ten years ago, and I'm fine now. I mean... yeah, it hurt back then. I didn't know who else to turn to... my aunt was grieving on her own, and... [Well. Let's not talk about his dad.] Anyway. I've had a lot of help, and here I am now. [He lifts his head, finally, to give a light smile.] Sorry for the downer story. I just thought you'd like to know, since it's kind of always there. [He swipes at his bandage again - He hates the scar and he hates the reminder, hence the covering of it.]
no subject
[he sits up straighter, looking up at the night sky.]
It's a part of you. I'm glad you shared it with me. [and after a pause.]
I don't remember anything about my life before Hydra, but I've lost people. I've been around for a long time. Humans don't live as long as supersoldiers.
no subject
no subject
[that he remembers.]
I'm probably pretty close to 100, actually.
no subject
Wow, uh... [Dude. He did not peg you to be close to 100.] Yoooou age well.
no subject
no subject
Well, you do!
no subject
Trust me, I've had the best doctors my world could offer. I'll live a long time yet.
no subject
[If he got to live that long, he could see all the advancements that astronomers make, just how far humanity can push itself! But then he'd also outlive his best friend. Hrmm.]
no subject
Apparently you just have to sign up for experimentation. They dump enough money in you, they're definitely gonna keep you alive.
[he sighs.]
I just kinda wish it was a little more personal than that sometimes. My handlers have always been the closest things to lasting friends I've had, and it's their job to monitor me. Now I show up here, and I have people swearing they're my friends, and they're people I wouldn't even bother to spit on back home.
no subject
Well. I'm your friend. [He pauses, then tilts his head with a little smile.] Orion.
no subject
[nothing in the world feels quite as warm as what clay says next. he really does feel like he has a true friend in him, and he knew that having him pick a name would mean the world to him. he just hadn't really known how much his world encompassed, to make it feel this monumental.]
Orion... That's perfect.
[he looks up at the sky. there's no orion up there, not on this planet, but he can't help but look regardless.]
I can't wait to tell Misha.
no subject
Clay looks up too, that warm smile staying on his face as a sense of... pride (for Comm - Orion)? Contentment? Definitely happiness, swells up in his chest. Here he thought it'd take weeks to come up with a name, but talking to him now, it just... popped up. And it was perfect. And Clay feels absolutely honored to be the one to give the man who'd gone so long without a name one that he can be proud of.]
Like I told you: you're like a star! And it just... it suits you.
[He scoots a little closer after that, enough to hold his hand out to shake.]
So... hey. Nice to meet you, Orion.
no subject
[this is his. this is a name, something given to him that no one can steal away. right now, in his eyes, there's nothing--and no one--more important than what he has right now.
[his shoulders shake with the smallest bit of silent laughter, and he shakes his head, reaching out to take that hand--and he's sure to do so with the one that isn't metal.]
It's nice to meet you, too, Clay. I'm so glad I did.
