File 007 | Bucky Barnes [Video / Private Audio]

Jun 19, 2011 16:42

[When the feed starts, the facility is greeted with a rare sight - Bucky is sitting on the edge of a bottom bunk, not wearing a shirt, and he also seems to be missing his metal prosthetic. If you look closely, you can see it laying on the sheet behind him. His left arm is barely a stump, covered in old burn scarring, and he seems to be or have been ( Read more... )

Why?

[Talking could lead to him wanting to come to her room. And that...that's bad. No. Not happening]

We have nothing to talk about.

[Audio] bucky_cap June 19 2011, 21:50:46 UTC

[Fuck you for texting me, Bishop, is his general thought process. It hurts to put his prosthetic on and he can't text one-handed.]

We have a lot to talk about. Shit I said last week. Whether or not you're having symptoms this week.

[Fuck you Bucky she will keep texting you]

We have nothing to talk about. I'm fine. I don't want to talk.

[There's a pause, followed by:]

Don't come over here.

[Audio] bucky_cap June 19 2011, 21:58:02 UTC

[Gdi he refuses to text back. You get audio forever, so you can hear just how grumpy he is.]

I won't, but we're going to fucking talk. There are some things you should know.

[And she refuses to switch to audio. Fuck yooooooou]

Fine. Talk. Just...stay there. [Hope Bucky likes talking about his life over the network!]

[He clumsily puts a lock on the conversation and sighs heavily. He's not sure if her insistence on him staying away is because of this week, or because of what he said last week.]

Look, I was... I was really drunk last week. I let some things slip that I shouldn't have. I wasn't going to tell you kids about... that.

You mean the part about you being a murderer? Yeah, I can see why you wouldn't want to mention that. [This is weird to talk about using text. But fuck him, he's not getting audio |:]

[Audio] 40% lock bucky_cap June 19 2011, 23:01:49 UTC

You don't understand, Bishop. I...

[Fuck. Fuck this. His stump hurts so goddamn bad, it's like it gets worse whenever he thinks about... There's a low groan of pain before he continues.] I died in '45, froze in the English Channel after the explosion took my arm. You know that story, right?

[Text] 40% lock artemisaim June 19 2011, 23:06:08 UTC

I'm familiar with it, yeah.

...You sound like you're in pain. I have-[For a minute there, her helping instinct took over and she was going to offer painkillers. But then she realized that that would mean either him coming here or her having to leave her room] Nevermind. Nothing. Tell your story, I guess.

[Audio] 40% lock bucky_cap June 19 2011, 23:13:49 UTC

It's fine. It's been hurting since reset. Asprin isn't helping, I just... need to adjust.

[A heavy sigh.] I was fished out of the sea by a Russian submarine. They thawed me out and resuscitated, but... I couldn't even remember my name, just how to fight. I was put on ice again until '54, and then they...

They brainwashed me into an assassin for the KGB. The Winter Soldier. Everything I did during those years... It was done with my hands, but it wasn't me.

[There's a long pause before the reply comes]

Brainwashing. Of course. [She wouldn't have accepted it so easily if she didn't know the way the world they came from worked. Brainwashing wasn't all that surprising. Besides, she had bigger things on her mind right now] So. I guess I'm sorry I called you a murderer. I jumped to conclusions. [And she was sort of just glad he had agreed to stay away]

[Audio] 40% lock bucky_cap June 19 2011, 23:24:59 UTC

[His voice is heavy, tired, threaded with pain.] It's fine. You were right to jump to conclusions. I am a murderer, Kate.I just... there are a lot of murders I wouldn't have committed otherwise. There's a lot I regret.

...How are you feeling this week? I'm trying to... take notes on symptoms. I can't figure out what's going on.

[Text] 40% lock artemisaim June 19 2011, 23:33:34 UTC

Comes with the territory of being old as dirt, I suppose. There's a lot the rest of us don't know about you. I get that. But I still apologize. Cap trusts you. I should probably just trust his judgement.

I'm...[Anxious, weird, afraid to leave my room because THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE] okay, I guess. For the most part. Generally.

[Audio] 40% lock bucky_cap June 19 2011, 23:43:26 UTC

Cap's judgement is generally pretty solid, but... not when it comes to me. Not generally. [Another sigh.] It's fine. I just... I guess you needed to know.

...You sure? Nothing new or strange? No physical symptoms?

[Text] 40% lock artemisaim June 19 2011, 23:48:30 UTC

Probably. You ARE the one who's so intent on us being a team after all.

No physical symptoms, no. At least not right now.

[Audio] 40% lock bucky_cap June 19 2011, 23:59:15 UTC

Because we're the only fucking Avengers here. We kind of have to be a team. [He's snippy because of the pain, but at least he's calling you an Avenger.]

Any other symptoms? No amnesia or anything?
