File 007 | Bucky Barnes [Video / Private Audio]

Jun 19, 2011 16:42

[When the feed starts, the facility is greeted with a rare sight - Bucky is sitting on the edge of a bottom bunk, not wearing a shirt, and he also seems to be missing his metal prosthetic. If you look closely, you can see it laying on the sheet behind him. His left arm is barely a stump, covered in old burn scarring, and he seems to be or have been ( Read more... )

[Dick probably took at least thirty minutes to actually respond back. He isn't sounding quite upbeat either.]

Don't...really know. [Depression? Suicidal thoughts? Guilt? Self-hate? He's not bringing them up. He doesn't want to talk about it. But he definitely knows he's got something.] Not feeling up to par.

[Well, that's a little worrying. The time it took him to answer, not so much, but the lack of his usual cheer?]

How so? Are you sick? [He doesn't look forward to having to go anywhere, but...] I can come down if you need anything.

[There's a slight pause. A few minutes.]

Not sick. I'm...[Pauses.] No. You..You don't have to James. I'm...you don't want to be around me. So...So don't come. I'm just...tired I think. Haven't been sleeping. [Hasn't been eating either.]

[That doesn't sound like Dick at all. Refusing company, saying he wouldn't want to be around him? Sure, Bucky doesn't know him all that well, but... This is different.] That's not true, I do want to be around you. Are you sure you don't need anything? Why haven't you been sleeping?

[He's trying to think of something that won't make him sound suspicious. But it's different now. He's suddenly not as decisive as he usually would be. It should be easy for him, but it isn't.]

No. I'm good. Really.

I...I don't know. Just can't sleep.

You don't sound like yourself. [Not at all. And with Tim having lost his memory or- or whatever... then didn't that make Dick Bucky's responsibility again? God, but how could he manage this week with the pain so bad? The worry just makes it worse.]

Are you sure you aren't sick? Come on, Dick, you said we're friends, didn't you? What's wrong?

T-That's funny. I'm still me. [He laughs. He tries to laugh. But it sounds hollow and empty.]

I'm not sic-[Fuck. Don't, don't, don't do that to him.] We are James..we...[He has to hold back a quiet sob.] I don't know. I'm not eating...or sleeping. I can barely get myself to do anything more then just lie around.

[God, he's making things worse, isn't he? Fuck, this experiment is like a grab bag of horrible issues. His voice softens a little.] I know you're still you. But you don't sound like you're doing so good. Can I come down? Do you want some company?

[He just wants to disappear Bucky. :C]

Only...Only if you want to. I don't need company...you don't want my company. [All that self-hate in his voice.] You have other people to worry about. Like Tim...and Tommy and Kate...

[Poor baby. D: ]

I do want your company. Tim's fine, the teenagers are doing okay so far. [No excuses. Bucky is concerned. He's coming down there. Even if he kind of wants to just crawl into bed and sleep forever himself.] I'll be down soon. Should I bring anything? Food, water?

That's...that's good. [If only he was doing better.] Uhm. No, nothing. I don't need anything really. I'll see you soon...?

[Fuck, he is so not equipped to handle this.] Yeah, I'll be down in five. [It takes a few minutes to make himself put his prosthetic on, even though it's heavy and usually it doesn't bother him, but fuck, it hurts now... He pushes through it, though, and heads down to Dick's room.

It's not too long before he's knocking on the door.] Dick? It's James.

[He opens the door. He's much paler and he looks tired. There's no smile and he looks rather down too.]

Hey...uhm...

[He opens the door wider so the other can come in.]

[Well, aren't they a pair? Bucky's pretty pale, too, though it's mostly from the constant dull pain. His expression turns to one of light concern as he steps inside, though.] Hey. You look terrible.

[What is with these two being in terrible health. He closes the door quietly.]

I'm fine. Really. I just didn't get to sleep. That's probably it...

[Their lives are supposed to suck. It was in their sidekick contracts, duh.]

That probably isn't helping. How're you doing otherwise? Have you... talked to Tim or Damian yet?
