File 001 | Bucky Barnes [Video]

[bucky_cap]

[When the video feed begins, there's a clear shot of a brown haired, brown eyed man in his early thirties. He's glancing around the room at first (which already looks a bit lived in, and has a set of bunk beds. Hmm.), expression fairly calm and flat, just slightly curious, but you can almost see that he's concentrating very deeply. He's already

[Dick will great you then.]

James Barnes. This is Dick Grayson. You have a room or a location? There's a lot to grasp and I can clear up some answers with you in person. It'll make this meeting a lot less...impersonal. [Smiles a little.] Welcome to the Facility. It is nothing like Disneyland sadly.

[Dick Grayson, huh? He's already sizing Dick up over the video feed, unconsciously. You don't spend fifty years as an assassin for Mother Russia and not learn to be aware of things.] Perhaps a personal meeting would be a good idea, I'm not sure if this line is secure. [He hasn't figured out locking yet, but it's just a matter of time.]

I seem to be... [The background changes a bit as he steps out to look at the little sign by the door.] I've apparently been dumped in 33B.

[notasidedick]

[Well, if you want to size up a guy who just died and came back, be his guest.] It isn't. You can lock your lines, but I rather to clear up things in person. I'll see you in a few minutes.

[It takes him a little longer to get there. He's tired and you're really far. Screw you for having a far room.] James?

[In Person]

[bucky_cap]

[He can't help it, he sizes anyone and everyone up. Habit. From what he can see when the person arrives, though, he's in fairly bad shape, and Bucky frowns slightly.] Yeah, that's me. Call me Bucky, though, actually, everyone does. [This isn't his world, according to the document Kate sent him, so he supposes no one would know his identity - he's still not eager to let it get out that he's Captain America, though.]

You doing okay? You look like you got punched by the Hulk.

[In Person]

[notasidedick]

[Yeah. Well, Dick is only average on height and he's more on the leaner side of the superhero spectrum.]

Bucky then. I guess I would say call me Dick if I introduced myself as Richard, but I didn't. [He's being humourous. Even if his jokes are kinda lame. And Dick is all for the secret identities. Barely told anyone he's Batman.]

I don't know who the Hulk is, but I look like this because I died just a couple of days ago. Wonderful, right?

[In Person]

[bucky_cap]

[Actually Bucky and Dick are about the same height, give or take an inch. But Bucky's probably got quite a bit of weight on him - he's not what you'd call 'lean', but he's also not stocky, and the bionic left arm adds some extra weight.]

Heh. Richard's not so bad, I've heard worse. [His middle name is Buchanan, for chrissake.]

...You died. Alright. I can believe that. And you just... came back?

[In Person]

[notasidedick]

[Bucky can easily toss Dick most likely. Or body slam him. It would hurt. Definitely.]

I like my name. I just prefer to go by Dick. [And all the stupid puns that goes with his name.]

It's hard to grasp unless it actually happens to you. But- [He points to the scar that goes all around his neck.] -I'm pretty sure you would know you died if your head was torn from your neck.

[In Person]

[bucky_cap]

[Bucky could probably do some damage with Dick in this condition. Part of him is realizing that, but at the same time, he doesn't want to attack an injured man unless he has to.]

Hey, I'm one to talk. My middle name is Buchanan.

I'm not actually not denying that you died. You're roughed up. I can see that. And my best friend... was 'dead' for a year before he came back.

[In Person]

[notasidedick]

[Well, he's going to have to because we said so right? We're terrible muns.]

Unique. I like it. [Gives you a bit of a teasing smile.]

I feel like coming back to life must be some new fad of some kind. [Jesus Christ, what is their lives.] But the interns will bring you back. The downside is they don't care how well we are and will just shove you back in your room half dead.

[In Person]

[bucky_cap]

[Oh yes. Because fighting is the best way to start a bromance.]

I'll keep that in mind and try to avoid dying, then. I'm a pretty skilled survivor. [He sort of wiggles the fingers of his bionic arm at Dick to prove a point.]

So. Grayson. What's the general situation around here? I've gotten the write up, but is there anything else I should know?

[In Person]

[notasidedick]

[That's how boys bond right? Right???]

Yeah. I should of thought about that and kept a better watch on my button. To think someone's little mistake of pressing suspicious, shiny and red buttons would get you killed. [Dick is a cockroach anyways.]

Well. You know the basics. Most of the others here are on our side. They'll help out and they're friendly. I know we have a few suspicious guys here, but I haven't ran into them. Also, we got some immature, but strong fellows in here.

[In Person]

[bucky_cap]

[Totally. That's how army boys bond, anyway, so it totes works for Bucky.]

Button? So there were... literal shiny red buttons of death? Now I've heard of everything. [He believes it, though. Damn it what is his life.]

Hmm. What's the deal with the general power level? How many metahumans versus normal guys? Anyone particularly dangerous?

[In Person]

[notasidedick]

[Sucks for Dick. Why can'y they just do flips and shit together???]

They were literally, large red buttons that kill you. Surprise. [That's because their lives are just that ridiculous right?]

We have a lot of people with special powers. I don't know if we can call them all metas based on their world, but they do exceed normal people. I haven't ran into anyone that would be dangerous. I did get in a scuffle with a kid who apparently can do magic just by saying some fancy words.

[In Person]

[bucky_cap]

[Because flips aren't as fun as punching each other in the face! Though Bucky is trained in acrobatics.]

Well. This place just keeps getting better and better. [A sarcastic remark of course, because this place is anything but.]

[He takes the next bit of information in thoughtfully, adding to his growing list of mental notes. The place needs to be analyzed, he needs to go around, check out the populace...] Hmm. That is something to watch out for. Man, I hate magic...

[In Person]

[notasidedick]

[Take that back. FLIPS ARE THE BESTEST FUN EVER.]

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe this place is Disneyland. [He can be funny. Really.]

[Yep. He got his arm broken and went momentarily blind. It kind of really sucked.] I can't say I'm entirely fond of it. But I know we got a good amount of magic users here who are friendly. We have healers and medics, in case of injuries and those who died and came back too.

[In Person]

[bucky_cap]

[NEVAR. SHIELD THROWING IS THE BESTEST. But he doesn't have his shield, sob.]

Sure, and somewhere Steamboat Willie is up there, laughing his ass off at us. [Mickey Mouse, Bucky. Mickey Mouse. When was the last time you saw a cartoon?]

Good to know. I'll check the place out later, get myself a list of names. ...Where would you say I should start looking for something they might have taken from me, out of curiosity?
