★ 1 | ACTION ★
Who: Bucky!Cap Barnes
Action: Throughout the Marsiva holding area
When: Feb 15-17-ish
[Bucky is new. He's new, and confused, and he figures the best way to get answers is to go find them. For better or worse, there's not a whole lot of space in which to find them, since he's limited to the same holding area as the rest of the passengers, but on the plus side, given that everyone else is confined to the same area, he's more likely to run into said passengers. When he spots someone who looks like they might be amenable to talking, he's very likely to approach.
For the most part, the faces are not familiar; he wanders the living area and the kitchen (where he's likely to stop and get some coffee, thank God that seems to exist here). He pokes his head into the bathroom and gym, too, and of course actually makes use of the former to take a shower on a regular basis. The gym he doesn't so much use as inspect and note; he's still too wary of where he is for anything resembling recreation, and thanks to the serum, he doesn't actually need to do much in the way of regular training to keep himself up. Maybe later.
Mostly, what will strike people is the fact that his face looks like the Bucky Barnes already on board, if you've managed to get a good look at that, but his hair is cropped short and his face is clean-shaven and his left arm is definitely not metal. All he's got to wear is the dark blue STRIKE uniform (sans helmet and shield) that looks - to some people, probably - like it should belong on Steve Rogers instead.]

She does wonder how much it comes down to his experience with his Natasha.]
I'll keep an eye out.
[All right. A little trust.]
no subject
[Bucky's known his Natasha now for almost as long as he'd known any of the Commandos. He certainly hasn't worked with her all that time, and the situations are certainly different, but you trust your team because what the hell else are you supposed to do.
This isn't his Natasha, but she seems worth taking that leap of faith on. He thinks Steve would. And if it bites him in the ass, it's his own damn fault and he'll deal with it then.
His smile is tight, but genuine.] Thanks.
[He blows out a breath, glances around.] Guess I'd better keep looking around. Might as well see what I've got to work with, even if it's temporary. [This is still where he's at, until they're sorted back onto smaller ships.]
I'll catch up with you later?
[He still wants to know more, but she'd said not here, and he respects that.]
no subject
[Sometime when there's some small hope there's no one listening in. They have to assume that they're always monitored. She doesn't mind having the extra time to get used to the idea of two of Barnes showing up, either.]
If you come up with any questions, you'll know where to find me.
no subject
Guess I do, [he says, and there's something grateful in his voice. She's at least familiar, and she's at least a friendly. That means a lot, on top of what he knows she's capable of.
And he'll definitely take what he can get.] Be careful what you offer, I might come back with a list as long as my arm.
no subject
[Who knows, maybe she is? But really, Barnes, as though Natasha ever makes an offer she's not confident she's up to filling.]
The only problem I'll have with a list that long is if they're bad questions.
no subject
[He's pretty sure she'll be fine.]
You've been hanging around Steve too long. His questions might be shitty, but mine'll be good. One of us is a lot better at advance planning than the other.
[It feels weird - so weird - to just joke about shit like this again, after two years. After seventy years. But if Bucky's learned anything, it's that you adapt to weird-ass situations by making them normal, and that means making fun of Steve.]
no subject
You'll have to prove that one to me. So far, I haven't seen any evidence leading me to believe you're not both suspect.
no subject
Really? I know I just got here, but I must be slipping. Or maybe you are.
[Bucky just rolls his eyes, but there's a subtle grin on his face.] You'll see. Trust me.
no subject
no subject
Pretty sure it ain't me.
[But his grin says he's up to the challenge of finding out.]
You take care, then. You - probably know where to find me.
