File 009 | Bucky Barnes [Accidental Video]

Jul 08, 2011 21:13

[The video must have flipped on accidentally. It's skidded away a few yards from its owner, one Bucky Barnes. The ice below him is stained dark with frozen blood, though it's hard to see the extent of the damage from the angle of the video and the way he's laid out across the ice. He looks... much more broken than he's ever looked with all those ( Read more... )

action because this is the best way to meet Captain America :c faultlesscon July 9 2011, 08:06:22 UTC

[It's a little after the other's been patched up and while Alex isn't one to normally be on the side of caring, it's the fact that a) it was his suitemate that did it (he saw that horrible pun, yes) and b) he is kind of watching out for the others so Alex is being tolerant. He's sitting in one of the far seats, just making sure that the other doesn't try to get up by himself, none of that business. Legs pulled up, he's quiet.]

action | ffff just remembered they haven't met yet omg. bucky_cap July 9 2011, 08:13:35 UTC

[Having been grounded to his sickbed (thoroughly lectured by people sixty+ years younger than him, which was horrifically embarrassing) after being stabilized, Bucky's just... been lying there for the moment. He's exhausted, sure, and enjoying the relative warmth of the car (he has a love-hate relationship with cold; right then he hated it), not to mention the feeling of not-dying. But he's not-so-much enjoying being watched by someone he hasn't met yet.]

Gonna introduce yourself, or sit an' stare?

action. | BEST FIRST IMPRESSION s-sob. faultlesscon July 9 2011, 08:23:28 UTC

[Alex turns his head away, much like a child who's been instructed not to talk but it's only in thought. Shaking his head, he turns his eyes back to the other and there's a little more staring, but it's not intimidating nor frightened, it's just... there. He's seen the other from when he's gone to sit in the car but as of now? It's the first time they've honestly talked, so it's awkward, almost.]

Alex Forbes. [He pauses, glances around.] Do you need another blanket?

action. | there've been worse at least. xD bucky_cap July 9 2011, 08:30:37 UTC

[Ah, so this is the mysterious Alex Forbes that Tim thinks is a little 'off' somehow. He... really doesn't look all that off to Bucky. Not in an obvious way, anyway. Not like he'd be a threat or anything, though he supposed you could really never guess in a place like this. But it's still good to not show weakness upon the first meeting, so Bucky starts painfully pushing himself into a sitting position with his bionic arm.]

No thanks, I'm fine. So you're Alex. Live across the hall normally, right? And I guess you know Tim?

action. | this is true! Last tag because asdasjdlk I'm bad at sleep faultlesscon July 9 2011, 08:39:08 UTC

[Oh great, people talk about him. He sees that little click on the other's face but he's not going to call it out because the guy is injured and the last thing that Alex needs is to do something he doesn't have to do, like harass someone while they're down. There's a small look of concern when the other sits up, and Alex takes in a breath.] You're going to open the wound if you strain it further.

[His head's nodding to the questions.] Something like that. We've talked.

action. | ahaaa i know that feeling, hi 4 am bucky_cap July 9 2011, 08:47:24 UTC

[Oh, Alex. You should know by now that these capes talk to each other about a lot of things, including people on their outskirts. He finally pushes himself all the way up and kind of scoots back a little to lean against the wall of the train. Still too tiring to try and sit by himself. Damn.] I'll live. Survived worse, believe it or not. [He has the scars, and the stump, to prove it.]

'Talked', huh? [He nods over toward one of the corners.] Have an apple or somethin', and toss a dying guy one, wouldja?

action. | a-ahh, did you go to bed? ;; faultlesscon July 9 2011, 17:16:46 UTC

[He can believe that the other'll be fine, considering the whole 'superhero' business and how it seems to always work one way and not the other so just another nod of confirmation. Let him be.] I can only imagine.

Mm, talked. [Pushing himself up, he's directing himself towards the fruit, grabbing one only. Walking over, he passes it over before moving back to sit.] Why?

action. | yeah, i had xD bucky_cap July 9 2011, 18:08:26 UTC

[Bucky takes the apple in his bionic hand and takes a bite. He needs to force himself to eat, he knows he'll just be worse off if he doesn't. It already feels like his strength is sapped, and if he didn't have his prosthetic, he'd be near-useless.] Curious what you an' Tim talk about s'all.

action. faultlesscon July 10 2011, 06:56:13 UTC

[Alex knows little to nothing past treating and wrapping wounds, so the recovery process is unfamiliar. Tilting his head, there's a shrug of the shoulders to the implication.]

Mostly just what's happening during the week, how I'm doing compared to how he is, things of that sort.

action. bucky_cap July 10 2011, 07:00:56 UTC

Small-talk, then? [Curious, since Tim is apparently 'keeping an eye' on this kid, something Power Girl was told about, too. He really doesn't seem like much of a threat to Bucky. Kid's way too skinny to do any damage. Unless he has fancy magic powers...] You got fancy magic powers or somethin'? [WELP, his brain to mouth filter is shot.]

action. | also! sorry for slow tags :c faultlesscon July 10 2011, 07:32:24 UTC

Yes. [The staring has Alex a bit tense but the question manages to deflate at that; his expression distorts into confusion.] I- no, I'm an average teenager.

What has Tim been telling you?

action. | no worries! bucky_cap July 10 2011, 07:45:00 UTC

[Huh. No fancy magic powers even? What the hell was he so worried about, then? Seems like just another kid to Bucky; he's apparently finding out there's a lot of those.]

Nothin', really. S'why I asked. Tim and I don't... talk. [They do, but he's not admitting that. They mostly talk business, and he's not going to let on that this kid is being watched.]

action. faultlesscon July 10 2011, 07:58:59 UTC

[Oddly, normal kids are rare around here and learning that has taken awhile for Alex so it's okay Bucky. The words aren't so reassuring and he furrows his brow, deals a look that says 'sure you don't'. What's done is done.]

That so? I honestly doubt it, but you won't admit anything anyway, will you?

action. bucky_cap July 10 2011, 08:08:15 UTC

[There are at least more than he expected, between Timothy and Alex and Jonathon (who he's only heard of), and Rika probably, who he had only met briefly. But at the look, he only shrugs slightly - as much as he can without aggravating his broken arm.]

Probably not. We're a secretive bunch, except amongst ourselves. Word gets around. Not a lot of word on you though, honestly.

action. faultlesscon July 10 2011, 08:20:11 UTC

[Wonderful - superheroes and the like are still capable of gossip, or are just really paranoid. A small nod and he retreats back to not calling the other out, but just watching.]

I'll believe you for now. Would mind if I asked?

action. bucky_cap July 10 2011, 08:28:06 UTC

Feel free to ask whatever you'd like. No promises I'll answer. Nature of the beast. [Or superhero. A quirked eyebrow, a slightly curious glance. He's not sure what makes this kid special enough to be put here of all places, and he really finds it kind of intriguing. Bit like a mystery.]
