[It probably seems like he's not going to turn up, being as how he spends almost twenty minutes just watching Steve through the diner window. But when nobody else shows up, and it looks like he might be getting near the end of his cup of coffee, he finally moves.

It's only a minute later that he's skulking in through the front door, eyes wary where the snap to Steve. He looks unwashed (smells it too), and is wearing the same clothes that he had on when he got his leg set down the alleyway.

Bucky pauses about six feet from the table, tense.]


You came.

[He's really not sure this is a good idea, and just being around Steve at all is an exercise in confusion. There are so many memories with his face in them, but they're all so vague and fragmented at the moment, and he's not sure how much is real and how much is just what he learned at the exhibit.

Bucky swallows hard, but he doesn't turn and walk away.

Instead, he slips into the booth opposite Steve.]


How did you know it wasn't a trap?

[What kind of idiot just comes out at 4am at a stranger's call?]
advanced: (confused)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-03-28 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine.

[Not quite. It'll take another couple of weeks to get back up to being fully healed, his serum is a bastardised version of what Steve has and therefore not as effective, but he's already much better and the splint has helped a lot.

There's a bit of an awkward pause.]


Did you ever break a bone?

[He can't remember. He has no idea if he did either, back when he was James Barnes.]
advanced: (disguise)

[He nods, some part of him supplying the information that he probably got his nose broken through fighting kids bigger than him. He's saved having to say anything, which is good because he has no idea what to say, by the server coming over to ask for his order. A low mumble of 'coffee' sends her on her way.]

I read about you before here, there was an exhibit.

[It had been so surreal to walk through this huge wing of the Smithsonian and see pictures and stories, not only about his target, but also about a man with his own face and completely different name.]
advanced: (bewildered)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-03-30 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods, though weird really doesn't cover it.

It had been a stupid decision to go, every instinct that told him about hiding screamed at him the whole time. Surrounded by people, terrible lines of sight, few clear exits, and his own face plastered all over... but he couldn't not go. He had to know the truth of who had been lying to him, Steve or HYDRA.

At least the answer to that had been why he never sought out his handlers again.]


I saw me, us, we were laughing together. I don't remember it, can you-- do you know what we were laughing about?

[The footage had been silent, just some flickering reel of the Commandos together, Steve and Bucky laughing. Just thinking of it made his chest ache strangely.]
advanced: (conflicted)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-03-31 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure what he's expecting from that story, maybe to remember it once he's given the prompt, but he doesn't. It's still just an image on a screen at the museum to him.

He ducks his head over his coffee.]


Aren't you going to ask me why I called you?
advanced: (conflicted)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-04-01 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[His brow furrows slightly.]

Don't do that.

[Don't act glad, like he really is the old friend that Steve lost so long ago.]

I called because I have insurance against killing you now.
advanced: (dangerous)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-04-01 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone who can kill me if I become dangerous.

[Because he knows Steve won't do it. He remembers that perfectly, the idiot bleeding and telling him to complete his mission. He'd have probably let Bucky kill him on that helicarrier.]
advanced: (concealed)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-04-01 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. But would you?

[He knows Steve is strong, they were pretty evenly matched when they fought before Steve found out who he was, but it's not a sure thing that Steve could stop him. Clark definitely could.]
advanced: (kohl)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-04-02 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bucky's eyes narrow, he's not stupid and he's noticed a glaring error in that reassurance.]

Before you let me hurt you?
advanced: (resolute)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-04-03 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
You're not answering my question.

[His voice is harder, much less willing to deal with Steve dancing around the topic. Because he knows that what happened on the helicarrier could happen again in the wrong circumstances.]
advanced: (focused)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-04-05 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not sure if that's good enough, but it'll have to be for now, so he just nods and lets himself relax back into the seat a little in a silent reassurance that he's not going anywhere just yet.]

You asked me before to give you a chance to get to know you. That's why I'm here.

[Now that it's safer, now that he knows there's someone who'll step in if he goes for Steve or anyone else around him. His voice lowers, something a little more human appearing in the usually neutral voice.]

I don't remember, but I want to.
