Who: Bucky (deadthenred) and Kyle (torchbearer)
What: Awkward meetings as
When: The date it happened
Where: A coffeeshop somewhere in New Jersey.
Content Warnings: N/A
[ It's a nice coffeeshop, the kind with white walls, high ceilings, and exposed ductwork, the kind of places you find in Brooklyn, these days, with the kind of prices to match. (When did a cup of coffee start costing $7?)
He's not sure where Jason ran off to and why he left him alone with this guy. (Why is Bucky friends with Jason?)
Before going up to the counter and ordering, there's an awkward silence. This isn't like the other people Bucky's met through Jason, he has no idea what Kyle's deal is. ]
Are youβ uh, another one of his brothers?
[ Dark hair, light eyesβ they all have a look. ]

[ He says that matter of factly. Obviously there's more to the story. ]
no subject
Okay. Is it over?
no subject
Yeah. [ A pause. He takes another sip of his coffee, which hasn't gotten cold yet. ] About seventy years later, Cap brought me back.
[ Don't poke at the timeline too much, it's comics. ]
no subject
Right, but is it over for you?
Because it sounds like in your head, you don't think it is.
no subject
Like that guy, Onoda? [ Or any of the other Japanese holdouts, hiding in jungles or ditches for decades, afraid to come out and make the surrender real. He'd heard about them. ] I couldn't get it confused if I tried.
[ If he's still dealing with Baron Zemo, that's Baron Zemo's fault. ]
no subject
[ but he's starting to grasp the few similarities between jason and bucky now. the never ending mission, the war. it's all the same. perhaps kyle is the same with the job, but he has goals outside of that. ]
You're not confused, but maybe you're waiting for an ending. Something that clicks for you.
no subject
[ Not an ending, maybe. But a moment where everything falls into place, and the world makes sense. Not gonna happen, Bucky thinks. ]

[ Alternate dimensions don't last. ] But the Guilds sure don't want to leave us alone.
no subject
No. They'll keep us busy.
no subject
You noticed anything about 'em, other than the obvious? I've gotten mixed opinions. [ A lecture from Jason, a lecture from Tony. ]

That's just not helpful. That's not what we do.

There was a Registration Act, in my timeline. It caused a lot of problems. Ended with a bad guy running the show.
no subject
[ but he shrugs. ]
I'm not too worried about myself.
no subject
Guess my money's about to run out.

[ If people with powers get dumped into Bucky's universe, SHIELD would be keeping track of all of them. Or trying to. ]
no subject
I can handle it.
