"It seems to be working out for me," I say, but I take his hand anyway and accept the hand up while I use the other to check that I still have all my ribs.
Yup, they all seem to be there. None of them have punched through my body with the force with which I hit the ground. Kind of a surprise.
"Again? Really? No helpful hints beforehand? And don't say, 'your enemies won't give you helpful hints beforehand.'"
My Barnes impression could use some work. Mostly it just sounds like a thinned down version of my Batman impression.
"I don't sound like that," Bucky replies, biting back a laugh, though when he replays it in his head, the impression gives him pause. Frowning a little as he steps back to give Jessica some space, he crosses his arms again, and gives her a sideways look.
"I'll never tell," I say, dusting myself off. Then I decide that's kind of futile and I should be concentrating on what I did wrong. I think mostly it's the part where I got knocked down, that was definitely not the right thing to do.
"But why wouldn't you want to? That sounded badass."
Though Bucky realizes he's somewhat behind on modern slang, he's familiar enough with badass to wonder if Jessica's universe doesn't have a different definition for the word.
"Then I guess that fall of yours was pretty badass, too."
