Flashy meets Slashy, Part 2!

Who: Tony Stark & Bucky Barnes. Later: YOU!
Where: First and second districts, possibly elsewhere
When: September 6th
Summary: A rematch for the ages, thanks to a little bit of malfunctioning dangerous tech. Later: Bucky roams around so people can point and laugh.
Warnings: Violence. Murderous intent. General Winter Soldier things.

[The former assassin thought he was beginning to improve himself, that maybe he could reclaim some part of his life that wasn't HYDRA and begin to move forward in earnest. He's been making progress towards that end and towards keeping the memories he's managed to get a hold of. He felt like he had purpose--that he was ready for whatever came his way.

It isn't that he clung to Steve so much that a day away makes him nervous. It's the thought that he might not return, that he might not remember, that brings him the most unease.

But instead of focusing on the things he can't change, he decides to focus on something he can do. Said something is currently taking a good look at the closed southern districts from atop a few roofs in the first and second districts. He remembers the warning given to them--that entering the places will drain their energy rapidly--but he wonders if maybe there's something hidden there, some reason for them to have kept these places closed when it's been pointed out that enough energy has been made to open them.

He doesn't really expect anyone to bother him, and he's fairly certain anyone he encounters will leave him be. It's not like he hasn't made peace (however shaky) with the one he had a violent encounter with the last time he was surveying things from a roof.]

[To say Bucky is tired and in pain is a massive understatement. He's been tossed around and injured in more ways than he'd like to admit, and frankly, he doesn't intend to. He honestly could have nodded off in his room to speed up his recovery, but given that Stark is currently inhabiting the apartment, he thinks it's better to... go elsewhere, at least for the moment.

He decides to walk through the nearby districts, seeing what kind of collateral damage they left. A few dents and cracks in walls, a mark where he narrowly dodged getting blown up, bloodstains here and there--some his, some Stark's. He wonders if anyone saw them fighting, either the empty suit going berserk and attacking him or his attempts to hunt down the fleeing engineer. It would be nicer if no one did. He really doesn't feel like explaining anything.

At least he's in some less-tattered clothes now, even if he's only half bandaged up. He still looks like a mess, sadly, walking through the streets for no real reason except to get out of his shared apartment.]

...

[Her shoulders slump a little, those wheels idly spinning. How does she even answer this? She can't lie, not to Bucky.

She's pretty much told him anything at this point.]


I didn't mind it. When it happened.

...

[She knows he's right. Ironhide probably would've taken it to spark too if she left right away. Which she did.

But there was a problem.]


I haven't seen him since then. I think he's avoiding me.

[She wouldn't admit it, but she'd been hoping to bump into him at least once by now.]
toughtalk: (What now Captain?)

[personal profile] toughtalk 2014-09-14 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[She hadn't, actually. She'd been keeping off it completely as of late...as if she was embarrassed to start with.]

Think he'd answer?
toughtalk: (Taking a seat)

I guess I'll have to, then.

[Although, getting up the spark to do it is going to be hard.]

Thanks. Looks like you ended up taking care of me on this little outing.
toughtalk: (Wait what was that.)

[That gets a little smile out of her too.]

I'll be fine, Strongarm. I don't dent as easily.

[She points to his injuries.]

Take care of yourself, okay? That's helping too.
