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.

You're in torturehell, and whoever you're looking for probably isn't here.

[video] he's not sure how this happened either ftr

[bucky_cap]

[Don't ask him how it happened, Toro. His only answer is that it somehow did one day. Before he knew it, he was getting a chemical lobotomy and this kid was calling him dad.]

Har har, no. Kid needed someone to look after and I just happened to be around and... now I guess I'm his dad.

[video]

[relightabull]

So you just...picked up a kid? [It's so funny he starts laughing.] And somehow that isn't the strangest thing I've heard today.

[video] also that should have been "to look after him" oops

[bucky_cap]

[There's a pause, and then he admits in a low, almost sheepish voice,] ...Three. You haven't met Timothy and Yukina yet.

What the hell is so weird about it? Your pappy's an android! I can at least be as good a dad as him.

[video] I did not even notice so NO HARM?

[relightabull]

It's just...I still remember you as the crazy kid in tights with the assault rifle in his hands. Thinking of you with kids is...wild. [Still laughing at you just a little Buck, but it's also kind of nostalgic.]

And you'll need to find a guy who's a supervillain three days a week to bicker with so your "kids" can keep you out of trouble if you want to be like my pappy.

[video]

[bucky_cap]

Yeah, well, I still remember you as the kid in short pants and not much else. [He's chuckling a bit too though.] It is pretty weird. I'm gettin' used to being a dad myself, but... I'm gettin' old I guess.

Hah, who the hell needs a part-time supervillain when a guy's got friends like you and Danvers? And I get into plenty of trouble for the kids to keep me out of.

[relightabull]

I take offense to that! Namor probably would, too. [Like he'd ever want to be compared to a "firebug."] And I'm sure you're doing a better job of it than I probably did as a step-dad. Probably scare 'em straight.

[video]

[bucky_cap]

Namor ran around in green panties. He doesn't get to be offended. [He snorts a little at that.] Nah, one of em's gay, I don't want to scare him straight- Wait, you were a step-dad?

[video]

[relightabull]

Namor would find a way to be offended if the wind blew the wrong direction. [Namor was all about being offended, but he gets a bit somber just thinking about the rest of it. Sometimes he says things first and the memories hit him after.]

And yeah, I was. Ann had a son from her first marriage, but he wasn't a young kid, so I can't say I was much of a step-dad. He's a good kid, though.

[video]

[bucky_cap]

Doesn't mean anything. Mine are all teenagers already, doesn't mean they don't still need a dad. Bet you were a better dad than I am, anyway.

[relightabull]

[Disappearing for three years and then dying is not what you should call "good parenting," Buck.]

If you say so. But I'm sure I'll enjoy being the doting uncle more.

[video]

[bucky_cap]

[Neither is almost killing all three of your kids while you're brainwashed. His views on parenting are a little skewed.]

Just watch who you dote on. Accelerator doesn't take well to it. Yukina and Timothy would love it, though.

[video]

[relightabull]

If he's the one I think he is, don't worry about it. [He grins.] I'm sure he'll warm up to me.

[video]

[bucky_cap]

He's barely warmed up to me and he calls me dad.

[video]

[relightabull]

Who's the Torch here?

[video]

[bucky_cap]

If I recall correctly, not you, "Flaming Kid". [Teasing, of course.] And anyway, you set my handicapped kid on fire, and I'll kick your ass.
