Who: Bucky & You!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Heron
When: 11/2

[ Hello, fleet! Today you get a message from someone who's been more than a little absent the past month. Some people may be more aware of it than others, but he's finally crawling out of the woodwork.

Waking up has been more than a little disorienting, because he didn't recall falling asleep, or when. It makes him uneasy, a solid weight sitting in his gut. The last time he couldn't remember things, it wasn't so great for the fleet. ]

What year is it?

Not sure how long I was out..Is everyone okay?

-- That's kinda why I do it. [ the hero thing. ] I don't want anyone to feel helpless, I guess. Even 'not feeling helpless' just means calling on someone else for help. Powers or no powers.

[reconstitution]

That's why it's important that you keep at it. Even if you can't wear the costume. You're at least trying to make a difference..

Cap did come 'round. In the end. [ kate smiles -- she might feel a spark of pride, here, despite what she's said about her world's steve rogers. ] He's the one who gave me Hawkeye's bow. And the codename.

[reconstitution]

Good.

[ladybro]

I certainly thought so. Good codenames are hard to come by.

[reconstitution]

I can imagine- especially with all of your Avenger groups. Does anyone ever fight over name ownership?

[ladybro]

I can't speak for anyone else. But Clint once challenged me to a shoot-off to win his gear back.

[reconstitution]

'Once'. I'm assuming he didn't try it after that?

[ladybro]

He won, actually. [ she's not ashamed to admit it. ] I was young. Cocky. He challenged me to a wager and won back all his stuff.

[reconstitution]

But you got it back, or just got your own?

[ladybro]

Broke into the Avengers' Tower and stole it back. [ her grin is toothy. is she proud? she's proud. despite the fact that clint absolutely knew she was there and as good as let her and tommy get away with it. ] With help, of course.

[reconstitution]

Of course. I'm surprised you managed to break in. You'd figure the security would be pretty intense.

[ladybro]

I've got a friend. He's pretty, uh, fast. The Avengers didn't even see us.

[reconstitution]

Sounds like they could use both of you if you managed to not only get in, but steal your stuff back.

[ladybro]

Right? That's what I said. [ ... ] But it was years ago. We were still young. Things are different now. Some of the Young Avengers are legit Avengers, now. Some are on other teams.

[ some are missing. and some, like katie, are solo. ]
