[When the feed turns on, viewers can get a good view of Bucky's living room in the background; he's sitting cross-legged on the floor amongst a few stacks of notes, and he's got a pen stuck behind his ear. Anyone who knows him might notice that he looks a lot more relaxed than usual, and even the slight wrinkles in his face aren't quite as ( Read more... )

[SVL just to keep the Consortium out, open for everyone else to see]You all know when things are going to hit the fan by now. I'm not going to give you some fluffy feel-good speech about how the power of good will win us the day. This isn't a movie, it's war, and I'm not going to patronize any of you with bullshit. Instead I'm gonna offer some ( Read more... )

[The video comes on a couple hours after reset. Bucky seems to be sitting on a large rock out in the middle of the desert, though in reality he isn't too far out from town, and he's got a whiskey bottle clutched in steel fingers. There are circles under his eyes, lines of despair creasing his face. He's already overturned some of the furniture in ( Read more... )

[Okay, Facility, have a Bucky who is not, NOT happy. In fact, he looks kind of freaked out, though he's managed to mask most of it. Still, if you know him very well at all, you'll realize that he's clearly thinking that something is wrong. If you're wondering, he's not in costume, just wearing a black bodysuit underneath a blue plaid overshirt.] ( Read more... )

[The video turns on, showing Barbara and Bucky standing over an unconscious Joker. They’re both a little cut up but otherwise seem fine. Damian can be seen off in the background]

He isn’t dead, is he?

Tt, if only. This is why you should have let me handle this.

[Bucky nudges the unconscious body with his foot none-too-gently.] Nope. Ain’t dead. [A ( Read more... )

[The feed starts because of an errant hand, flung aside with a soft, sleepy mumble. It’s a little ways down a bed, propped up on a fold, and showing a head of bright blonde hair and one darker one, both men, both half-flung over each other in a tangle of sheets and the occasional spot of skin ( Read more... )

[The video feed opens up on suite 8’s common room, and when the camera pans around a little, it catches sight of Bucky and Carol, lounging on the sofa in the common room. It’s a bit unusual that they’re kind of all over each other - Bucky is half sprawled out, head hanging over the edge of the couch, his legs over Carol’s lap. They both look like ( Read more... )

[When the video begins, it shows the rec room, deserted at this time of day. Well, almost deserted. It isn’t long before the sounds of a struggle can be heard, a woman’s voice yelling and a man’s grunting in pain or annoyance. It’s clear that a fight is going on, somewhere very nearby. The camera pans over a bit. A flash of red hair, a glint of a ( Read more... )

[When the video clicks on accidentally, it shows Bucky in the bathroom of suite 8 - though, thankfully, he's fully clothed (in sweatpants and a tank top at least) and not doing much more than peering confusedly at the mud-caked blond tribble in his hands. Apparently Lil' Alfred-Steve has been rolling around on the ground, and Bucky, being a bit of ( Read more... )

[A text goes out right after Bucky and Steve manage to escape their trap. Whoever comes will find them both in their room, Steve's wrist wrapped in the shreds of Bucky's t-shirt and Bucky's thumb missing a nail and bleeding sluggishly out.]
