You here, Jim? [Yes, he has priorities and he still isn’t sure about all the weird things around here, but Jim was just right there. Him being taken when the Original Human Torch was right will never make sense.] I know nothing’s for certain with things like this, but usually when I wake up in weird places at least someone I recognize is around.

[Another nightmare. He's slept maybe four or five hours since reset, the rest of it has been spent awake and trying to get himself back to sleep. Last week took its toll, and he looks exhausted.

Flipping through the feed, he's taking note of new people when-]

[video] 2/? bucky_cap December 26 2011, 01:04:33 UTC

[No. God no, he knows that voice better than anything. There's only one person in the world he knows better, and that person is asleep on the bunk above him.

It can't be him.]

[video] 3/4 bucky_cap December 26 2011, 01:06:04 UTC

[There's no way, but at the same time, he's mentioning Jim, he's using words like 'fella'...]

[video] 4/4 bucky_cap December 26 2011, 01:08:52 UTC

[He tries to flip the video on with shaking fingers, switches to the prosthetic hand instead to do it.]

Toro- Tom, Jesus fucking Christ, is that you? You- [Words are hard.] Collar. Has a... a number and letter on it. Your room number. What is it?

[video] relightabull December 26 2011, 01:14:22 UTC

[Tom frowns staring at the person on the screen.] How do you know--

[okay so a very familiar face, but a lot older than Toro remembers it being. And it can't be. Bucky's dead. Dead and yet the reason Tom's not.]

--Is this some kind of joke?

[video] bucky_cap December 26 2011, 01:17:04 UTC

It's a giant fuckin' joke, but we're not the ones laughin', trust me, Hot Pants. [But he might be laughing a little anyway - it's a tired, desperate, humorless laugh, because jesus fuck, now both his best friends are here in this hellhole with him.]

Seriously, room number, where the fuck are you?

[video] relightabull December 26 2011, 01:21:32 UTC

[To call him that is a little too much. Toro's been going through enough without his somehow much older dead best friend coming back right now. Maybe he's Bucky from another universe where he didn't die. It's about the only explanation he can think of right now.]

Buck. If--[Tiny breakdown happening right now.] If it's really you... 36B.

[If he's not real, Toro might kill the fake.]

[video] bucky_cap December 26 2011, 01:30:11 UTC

Shit, who- Who the hell else would I be, you knucklehead? [He might be having a tiny breakdown of his own. Bucky doesn't wait for an answer before he's running out of his and Steve's room, down the hall, up the stairs to 36B.

Hope Tom's decent, because he's not knocking, he's just throwing the door open and staring at Toro like his best friend has grown three heads or something.

...Shit. He's really here.] T-Tom...

[video/action] relightabull December 26 2011, 01:38:21 UTC

A really bad dream. [And he's as decent as he can be. Not like he goes around in the shortpants anymore. He's standing in the middle of the room, pacing and seeing Bucky right there, staring at him.]

...Buck, you're all grown up. No more tights for you.

[action] bucky_cap December 26 2011, 01:48:48 UTC

[Bucky stands in the door way, staring at him for a moment, taking him in. He'd know that face anywhere, always so much younger than it should look. He's ditched the shortpants, but Bucky's ditched the red tights. They aren't boys anymore.

God, it feels like ages since he's seen him... Bucky lets out a tired laugh, and in a moment, he's surging forward to wrap him into a tight hug.] Fuck, you say that like you don't know. God, I haven't seen you in months...

[action] relightabull December 26 2011, 01:58:31 UTC

[Tom is surprised by the sudden hug--this is Bucky, he's hugging him, that's not normal unless Bucky's planning something--but it takes only a moment before he's hugging him back.]

Months, I haven't seen you since--since before we had to split for Germany. [Before he got blown up on that plane.] How are you even alive? Did someone else make a crazy wish?

[action] bucky_cap December 26 2011, 03:33:34 UTC

[Yeah, he usually isn't very huggy, but he's slept four hours in an entire week and he can't sleep again because the nightmares are getting worse and Toro is here, his best fucking friend... It's too much to handle on a sleep deprived brain. He doesn't move from that spot, just hugs Tom tightly, burying his face against the junction of neck and shoulder.]

That- Fuck, that was so long ago. No, no, I'm- You don't know I'm not dead? [And then a chilling thought. Steve... said he was dead back home, he had gotten farther in the timeline...] Oh hell, are you from before or after me in the timeline...?

[action] relightabull December 26 2011, 03:41:33 UTC

[God it's been so long and Bucky is shorter than him again--when did that happen? It's like he's in a dream because he's spent the last couple of weeks lost and without anyone. And now he's lost Jim--again--only to regain Bucky? What a rollercoaster.]

What are you talking about? [Maybe he really is a Bucky from a different reality.] You died...before the end of the War. The Vision. He said that you made a wish when all that crazy happened back in 1943, but... Buck, you still died. But I'm not dead and you're not dead. And god, I left Jim and...

[Yeah, it's getting to him.]

[action] bucky_cap December 26 2011, 03:49:53 UTC

[God trying to keep track of timelines and who's dead and who isn't and who's back from the dead gives him a headache. What is their lives. Bucky just hugs Tom tighter.]

I- I got better. [A quiet, almost shaky laugh.] That dying trick never works on me I guess. [Except at the point in time Steve is from.] I just... Fuck, of course you're alive, I couldn't let you-

You didn't leave Jim, we all got together again when that disease broke out again in Europe, remember? It was like somethin' outta Lovecraft...

[action] relightabull December 26 2011, 03:57:51 UTC

Disease? You mean that one Zola made? It comes back? But I thought we had...

[Clearly he has no idea what you're talking about Barnes. All he knows is they had to burn down a village of innocent people to stop it from spreading. He steps back a little, looking right into Bucky's eyes.] Tell me straight, Buck. Are you saying that we failed and people are getting turned into monsters again?

What kind of future are you living in?

[action] bucky_cap December 26 2011, 04:02:18 UTC

Yeah, that one. Tom, calm the fuck down, it's- it's fine now. It was some magic bullshit from one of the survivors. Some giant monster showed up... But it's fine now. But that's the last time we got to spend time together-

...You're farther back than me... [He seems slightly relieved at that.] So we haven't... met up again whenever you're from?
