Smoke Signal 16: [video]

[Sometime before midnight, A proper-aged Charlie was suffering from a case of insomnia. It happens. It was just a thing with her so she decided to get a book and a cup of tea and read for a while. She's unaware the device is recording her seated on her bed in her gray tank-top and black pajama bottoms, book propped on her knees. And that's really

Charlie!

[That's the Cap voice, btw. Guaranteed to make Bucky jump in a panic when he hears it.]

[ridethecyclone]

[ Which, like clockwork, Bucky jumps at, knocking over something that's probably important. ] What? What's wrong with Cha - Oh.

[punchedhitler]

[Something breaks. Oh well. ]

She's...frozen or something.

[ridethecyclone]

Should we - [ WHY. ] Let's go check up on her.

[punchedhitler]

...get your gun.

[THIS IS A PRECAUTION we are not shooting Charlie. Steve is already going to his room to grab his shield from where it lives under his (Bucky's?) bed]

[ridethecyclone]

I don't need to get my gun.

[ It's under his jacket. 8| He just doesn't trust everyone as much as Steve does. Also, Bucky's going to have to have words about the bed situation. Maybe. Or just lock Steve in his own damn bedroom. ]

[punchedhitler]

[He comes back a minute later with his shield but no helmet with headwings, and puts it on his back as per usual]

Do you just carry it around with you?

[Well, that's one way to get him to sleep in his own bed.]

[ridethecyclone]

Yeah.

[ He sleeps with it under his pillow. Don't ask. ] Y'ready?

[punchedhitler]

Yeah.

[Do you mean Steve's pillow? Speaking of Cap, he's heading out the door]

She hasn't had an easy run this week.

[ridethecyclone]

[ Following. Following. He'll share the pillow. ] Yeah, what's with that?

[punchedhitler]

[Two heads one pillow? It probably wouldn't be the first time]

I don't know. Bad luck?

[ridethecyclone]

Poor kid. I sure as hell'd love to deal out some retribution for whoever keeps fucking with the place.

[punchedhitler]

You're not the only one.

[That's Steve's jaw-set fight the bullies face right there.]

[ridethecyclone]

[ He's missed that face. ] Does it just get worse round here or what?

[punchedhitler]

[It's a good face]

Sometimes it gets better.

[ridethecyclone]

Don't seem much like it does.
