File 008 | Bucky Barnes [Accidental Video]

Jun 29, 2011 23:33

[When the video switches on accidentally, it's because the person has dropped his 'berry down by a tree in the biodome. It's propped up nearly perfectly - funny how these things work - to catch Bucky in the frame. He's moved several feet away from the camera, wearing workout clothes, sweatpants and a tanktop with sneakers. Not very stylish, but ( Read more... )

I don't think I've ever seen someone use a shield as their main weapon before.

[Video] bucky_cap June 30 2011, 04:57:46 UTC

Ahh, the shield means a lot where I'm from. Well, not this shield specifically, though it's a good piece of work. It's something bigger than just me, though. [How do you explain that you're carrying on a legacy without letting on that you're a superhero? Isn't easy.]

[Video] minx_of_disco June 30 2011, 05:28:01 UTC

[Milla cocks her head, still smiling.] A symbol, you mean?

[Video] bucky_cap June 30 2011, 05:34:53 UTC

Yeah. [He smiles back, a little sheepishly.] It... The original shield belonged to someone very dear to me. He passed it on to me when he... died. Temporarily.

[Video] minx_of_disco June 30 2011, 05:39:54 UTC

[She nods slowly.] I can see why it's so important, then. Where did you learn to fight?

[Video] bucky_cap June 30 2011, 05:58:02 UTC

Lot of places. My training is mostly US and British military, though, with a fair amount of Russian systema and [Assassination techniques.] my partner's style of shield fighting, which... well, I've accidentally demonstrated to the network.

[Video] minx_of_disco June 30 2011, 06:09:54 UTC

[She nods in interest, eyes twinkling.] A war veteran, then?

[Video] bucky_cap June 30 2011, 06:29:38 UTC

Mmhm, US Army since I was sixteen. Hey, you have time for a... well, a session? I'd rather not do it over the network, my roommate likes to pry.

[Video] minx_of_disco June 30 2011, 06:36:55 UTC

Of course I do. 24C. I'll leave the door open for you.

[Video > In person] And somewhere, Tim is ragefacing. bucky_cap June 30 2011, 06:53:17 UTC

Much obliged, ma'am. [He offers a brief smile before he cuts off the feed and hurries off to go take a shower and change into some real clothes.

He arrives about fifteen minutes later, heading through the common room to the right door and knocking lightly on the doorframe, because he's polite, and you don't just waltz into a lady's room.] Ah, Milla?

[In person] Fffffft XD minx_of_disco June 30 2011, 07:00:11 UTC

[Milla turns around, her earrings shaking with the movement, and then gives him a bright smile.]

Good to see you, darling!

[She gestures for him to take a seat, closing the door to give them privacy.]

[In person] bucky_cap June 30 2011, 07:28:53 UTC

[He returns the smile, a little more unsure, because. Well, he's never had to get therapy before. No one ever forced it on him in the Avengers, although someone should have, with all the things he's been through. He steps in and takes a seat, exhaling quietly.]

It's good to meet in person. I... probably need this more than I can admit. I'm just worried about keeping my stability in a place like this. Not that I'm easily traumatized, I just... I've had people depending on me, and I can't just break down one day.

[In person] minx_of_disco June 30 2011, 07:34:48 UTC

I know how you feel, darling. Don't worry. Everything you say is completely confidential.

[She takes out a mug from her desk, pouring water into it and touching her hands to the surface, the water beginning to simmer.]

There's no shame in admitting you need help.

[In person] bucky_cap June 30 2011, 07:55:25 UTC

Thank you. I... would appreciate that, this being kept in strict confidence. A lot of my life is... considered classified intel. It feels shameful, admitting it, no offense. I just. I was raised to believe that... men should deal with their own issues quietly, by themselves. Mine go a lot deeper than the norm, though.

[He exhales again, as if he's trying to let out the tension, though he glances up curiously as she starts to... Huh. That's a nifty trick.] Metahuman?

[In person] minx_of_disco July 2 2011, 06:00:31 UTC

Psychic, darling.

[She leaves it at that and puts the mug down, the water coming to a boil briefly and changing to a dark green color. There were mint leaves in it.]

You don't need to worry about telling me classified information, baby. [Although admittedly, she realizes that admitting she's a spy (and privvy to a hell of a lot of classified intel) here isn't really consequential in the least, secrecy's still a tough habit to break. She leaves it at that.]

And don't try to tell yourself you have to deal with it on your own. Men need help to deal with problems sometimes, just the same as women. [She picks up the mug and offers it to him.] Tea? It helps calm the nerves.

[In person] bucky_cap July 2 2011, 06:37:11 UTC

Psychic. Right. [He takes it in stride, it is what it is. It's not a new or unusual concept, though it does seem to make him just a touch uneasy.]

Alright, I just. That's why there might be... holes. It's really more habit than anything, I realize I could probably tell you a lot of classified things and they wouldn't mean anything to you. [He breathes out a quiet laugh.

Shakes his head politely at the offer.] No thank you, I'm fine. I know, logically, that there isn't a difference between men and women in that regard, it's just. Product of the times. I was born in 1925.
