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?

[ Do you really want to doubt her, Steve? ]
action;
[ he might be more than a bit impressed. ]
She said to imagine it as a form of sparring.
action;
action;
[ not you too, bucky. he makes a face. ]
I mean, I should be proof enough that some people can fight but can't dance.
action;
[ Raising an eyebrow at you, bud. ]
Can't teach an old dog new tricks after all?
action;
[ and that's the worst metaphor. ]
you're a hundred years old and you're still a jerk, after all.
action;
action;
well, I'm the punk who got you pie.
action;
Yeah, you sure did.
action;
[ awake and there, just a few inches to his left. he reaches for the box, takes a piece of the pie. ]
No new memories?
action;
[ He lets out a sigh, resting his head back against the wall. ]
No new memories, thank fuck.
action;
Yeah.
[ they all had too much of those, lately. ]
Things seem to settle on that front lately.
action;
Let's hope it stays that way. Nothing new from you, right?
action;
[ and it does frustrate him. there is so much he wants to understand and can't, about everything that had occurred between him and tony, between the avengers. ]
I still have the same memories I had when I came here.
action;
He's the reason that things went so pear-shaped for Steve in the first place. ]
That's fine.
action;
[ so far, everyone who has gotten new memories were left scarred by them. whatever the fine details were, the memories left them upset, changed and distanced. it's a distance he can't seem to cross, he can't reach them when he's like this. ]
I can't understand. I know it isn't helping.
[ you. ]
action;
You don't need to understand. There's no helping what you haven't been through, right?
action;
[ and that's equally as frustrating. even if they could come to understandings here, it wouldn't matter. what's about to happen will happen. while steve always believed one can shape the future, this is a painful exception to the rule. ]
Everybody else remembers. I can't help but feeling the Atroma are going somewhere with leaving me out of the loop.
action;
Now you know how I felt. Before-- when you were here. You'd just gone up against Ultron. I still didn't know how DC ended. The last thing I remembered was seeing you on the bridge, then nothing.
[ So really, he understands the frustration.. but Steve had told him how things turn out, which had eased his mind a bit. This is a little different, though. ]
action;
[ in his - what? relief? enthusiasm? at seeing him again, he may have not have understood it, not like this - what bucky had felt. ]
All I could focus about was that I finally found you.
action;
[ The man he is here vastly overshadows the one he is back home. His connections in the fleet are things he's built for himself. ]
My point is. Don't try to move shit forward. Just let it play out as it needs to, because it will.
action;
[ he echoes the thought with a grim nod that is replaced by a small smile a moment later. ]
Look at you, being the mature one. Gotta be a first.
action;
[ He's definitely seen it for himself here, but it feels like Steve needs some sort of reminding. Bucky's managed to make himself into his own person over the past year, plus the ones at home. ]
Same goes for you. We've both changed.
action;
[ he agrees but the smile lingers. it seems he can finally understand it, the situation at hand. none of them are the people they were before the war. but he is not the winter soldier, either. rather, someone new entirely and still, very familiar. still, he carries a strong sense of home. ]
I heard that can happen in our old age.
[ change. ]
action;
[ He's grateful for the change, if he's honest. Bucky would feel out of sorts if he was the only one that had changed. Like watching pictures frozen in time. It still feels like that sometimes, though now they're fewer and far between. ]
I think I'm starting to see a little grey just there. [ He gestures to Steve's temple. Obviously they're not, but how often does he get to poke fun at his best friend's expense? ]
