legit actually, but shield got all the real souvenirs out decades ago. nothing invadery, just some debris. unless ward was full of shit and was making that up to see if i'd believe him.
[ there's a reliable narrator. skye seems to realize this and stop her happy train of memories. ]
[ Clearly Steve expects her to have context for who Bucky is. But there's a lag on her end as she tries to sort out why that is. Given that Metal Arm Guy is super familiar with him, around him all the time, and introduced himself as James ... ]
James? Cute nickname.
[ ... wait. She knows that name in relation to cap. Everyone does. His name's on the SHIELD memorial, in museums. ]
Bucky was experimented on during the war. It's probably not the exact same serum that I've got, but it's close. Plus Hydra kept him in cryofreeze most of the time. They only brought him out for missions.
It's messed up. When the truth about Hydra came out, their plan was to send Bucky to kill me on board the helicarriers. But he didn't. The only reason I'm here at all is because of him.
Aww that's sweet. When HYDRA sent Ward to kill us, he kidnapped me and ejected Fitzsimmons from a plane over water. So. You know. Glad the power of friendship worked for one of us.
[ hello darkness my old friend. more like hello guilt. now she's the one keeping secrets from a team. quite the turnaround. it gnaws at her until she finally pushes through to prompt. ]
speaking of teams ... mind if i ask you something?
I'm not sure anything worked. I think it might just be a part of him. But I was pretty happy to have that big rage monster on my side back in New York.

yeah on second thought probably a hoax.

[He's still thinking about that though.]
I'm not sure what to tell Bucky. I'm don't think he'd take the news that there's ex-Hydra here that well.

That's Bucky BARNES?

I guess it makes sense that he'd introduce himself that way. He lost his memories at the hands of Hydra.

that is the most fucked up thing i've heard all month and i'm sitting here talking about a secret underground alien city
[ and avoiding talk about her crazy dad luring her into it to give her earthquake powers. ]

and even then i'm sure.
the offer's sweet but this one's personal
[ pure, vengeful vigilantism, even. ]
text

Thank you. I mean it.

mind if i ask you something?
text

I was just wondering if you and he ever talked about what he did to
you know
rein it in.

Re: text
but they worked right I mean he isn't always a big rage monster

Re: text
yeah but you wouldn't want it for a roommate. how can he have any kind of normal life if he could just lose it whenever? that sounds terrible.
text
text
but from his i'll bet it's terrifying
