[So those two men knew nothing about this place and Bucky is still certain it's Schmidt. Or some other Nazis. He doesn't have his gun on him. His face is in a drawn out line, and he does not like being utterly defenseless. Even if he is dead. Bucky's on the top of some building, naturally a sniper's position. He also doesn't know how to work this

[Things hadn't become any less confusing over the last few hours since he woke up in the freezer. And he had his doubts that solving the riddle of the empty city and how he, Pepper and Billy ended up there. He hadn't seen anyone else. Not even in the store where they finally found some clothes and shoes.

It was while he was trying to figure things out and put together some sort of plan that he heard the voice coming from the device in his hand. There were other people...

And he knew that voice.

Pressing the buttons frantically, Steve called his friends name through the machine.]

Bucky? Bucky is that you??

[Of course it was! There was only one James Barnes who knew about Schmidt being the Red Skull]

voice;

[typicalsoldier]

[Yeah, Bucky's not got anything right now. His first priority was finding out where the hell he was. He also has no shame.]

Steve? [This didn't make any sense.] How the hell are you here?

[Steve released the breath he'd been holding and continued to push random buttons on the thing in his hand until something sounded with a small beep and the top corner blinked a red video symbol.]

Yeah, it's me. [he looked down at the screen] Me? How are you here?

[You're supposed to be dead.]

Where are you?

[typicalsoldier]

Did you fall off, too? [Not that he really wants to talk about this, but it's the only reasonable explanation.]

I'm on top of the roof of the building next to the hospital.

[nerdylilspidey]

Um... Did you just say Nazis?

[typicalsoldier]

Yeah. Schmidt's a Nazi.

[nerdylilspidey]

Well- Okay, but... we totally already beat the Nazis.

[typicalsoldier]

No, we didn't. We're in the process of it, but that's the whole point of the war.

[geminates]

Nazis. [That sends a chill right up her spine, because she was just a kid during the war, but she remembers well enough some of the horrors that the Nazis brought on those who were different.

But, they're not at war, not here. As far as she knows, there's nobody gearing up for war either. Besides this guy.]

If it makes you feel any better, I don't think we're in a place that's at war right now. I mean, I've heard people calling it Abax? Which doesn't sound familiar in any way, so. Mm.

I guess I'm just trying to say, I think you're safe. From whoever was trying to capture you before, at least.

[typicalsoldier]

Abax? [A raise of his brows. He's not relaxing any.] A friend of mine is here, so it's a possibility Schmidt is, too.

[geminates]

... Schmidt? [ohgod. That's what some of the CIA agents were calling Shaw. ohgod.] I really, really hope not.

I mean, but-

We aren't at war with the Nazis anymore? At least, technically we haven't been since the 40s. I think. [Raven's bad at this stuff.]

[typicalsoldier]

I'm from the '40s. And if that man is here and did this...? [He wasn't about to go into the fact Schmidt did horrible experiments on him and tortured him. He's all manly man, and while she is nice to look at, he never got all that deep with a dame.]

[typicalsoldier]

Bucky. And just because I'm dead doesn't mean there aren't people here looking to finish it off. [Hey, pissed off kid, don't start.]

[typicalsoldier]

Who said anything about killing him? I said I'd kick his ass. [Eyebrow raise.]
