★ 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.]

[Nothing like a hot cup of space coffee after a rough night of people invading your mind and seeing your deepest, darkest memories and then perusing some of theirs, right? She looks up as someone approaches and her eyes fall on Bucky and there is recognition in them. Recognition for a number of things but also confusion. The current Bucky with the long hair isn't even the first one she met. She met a shorter-haired slightly younger version when she first arrived and another that called himself Winter for a long time. And then there's that uniform.]

What? [Yes, Kitty. Good first greeting.]

[His replies break through her conflicting internal questions and she manages to land on something more helpful than, "what?". She even manages to smile back.]

I'll get you a cup.

[She sets the machine to make another while glancing over to him.] You didn't recently cut your hair, right? [Remember when something like that would be the easiest and most realistic explanation?]

[ Sara eyeballs him a bit, but she's been through this all before with different people, so she goes to pour herself a cup ]

Nothing like the smell of space coffee in the whatever time of day it is.

[At least one passenger finds that uniform familiar. That face too, though she notices that second. Natasha has been laying low during the extended stay on the Marsiva but that doesn't mean she's not paying attention.

She has the advantage of knowing this was a possibility.]


Barnes? Or should I call you Captain?

[She keeps a cautious distance, letting him see her approach. No reason to surprise him if there's no Natasha Romanoff in SHIELD in his timeline.]

[His reaction tells her a lot. Almost as much as that STRIKE uniform and his intact left arm do. She remembers hearing about Jim, the Barnes who was here before, the one who'd taken up the shield. Not him either, since she's fairly sure this Barnes doesn't know what's going on here...

But if he's anything like other versions of himself, he'll be an ally. She shakes her head a little.

As though her life isn't complicated enough.]
Barnes it is. [Her lips twitch in a rueful smile, almost apologizing for what she's about to ask.] Have they explained where you are yet?

[ she clinks back ]

Probably both.

Sara Lance.

[ So he is some other version... she's digging the look ]

About six months... enough time that you're my... fourth? Bucky Barnes.

This place has a weird habit of bringing people from different Earths and timelines.

Guess it's on me to be the welcoming committee. [Natasha puts aside her own problems for the moment. This situation might unpleasant, what with people rummaging around through each other's heads, but having a job to do makes it easier to focus.

Something productive to focus on.]


Well, Barnes, looks like you are one of the newest star on an intergalactic reality TV show. They tap people from all over time and space and bring them here, allegedly to watch us travel from world to world.

[Allegedly.]

You can, but I was really hoping you'd already know that one. [It's always weird to be the person who tells you that you have a doppleganger. It's weirder to live a life where she knows that and has experienced it.]

How long have you been here?
passingthrough: (Curious - More than the surface)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2019-02-17 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it keeps getting weirder for awhile. [She smiles gently at him.] Did anyone explain the part where there are many realities existing parallel to each other where the same people have different lives? And that this place pulls people in from different realities, different worlds, and different timelines?

I could have sugarcoated it, but you're going to find out one way or another. It's weird. At home, my sister's Earth-2 doppelgänger is running around... she's my sister but also not my sister.

And yeah, we call it Earth-1. I have no idea if it's the same as yours or if you're from another one.

[That gets a chuckle out of her. He's not wrong.]

No, actually. In a lot of ways it's not so much different from home.

[Every week, a new threat or machination, a new weirdest thing she'd ever seen. She's had similar thoughts before. Once you've seen an army of aliens pour out of the sky over New York, is anything else really shocking?]

That's the problem.
passingthrough: (Calm)

[personal profile] passingthrough 2019-02-17 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She should probably get to the part where there is another him, but there's so much mind blowing you could do and it just seems better to spread it out. The last point could use some clarification anyway.]

It's very cramped right now, but that part's not usually a problem. We usually have more autonomy than this and are spread out among a fleets of ships instead of all jammed into the Marsiva.

Most people don't know about different worlds, but I travel in a different kind of group. I've dealt with a lot of things that most people haven't.
