OOM: Bucky, after the cells

Steve isn't sure when Bucky will be released from the cells, and so is passing the time at the Caribbean inlet, wondering how to get Orpheus's boat here. If it's possible, which he isn't sure about at all.

(There are boats floating on the perfect blue water. That seems promising.)

Boots off, pants rolled up, face turned up to the sun.

(Remembering, too, days spent at the shore, drawing sunbathers and flirting couples and Bucky as a boy, as a young man.)

His sketchbook is tucked in his coat. He may take it out before much longer.

He'd looked around the bar for Steve, but on not seeing him, headed out the back door to wait.

It's... clean, here, and spacious -- especially after the cells. James wanders aimlessly toward the lake, watching the sky and the water.

Part way there, he spots a familiar figure in the distance, and angles his trajectory of approach to bring him toward Steve.

"Steve. Hey."

He slows to a stop as he reaches him.

"... nice out here," he observes, after a moment.

"Not yet - I came out here first," James tells him.

"I will, though."

[personal profile] nerves_of_ice 2014-12-30 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
He smiles, a little.

"I'm glad. I thought it might... suit you."

He hesitates for a long moment, then nods.

"Yeah. Not... not everything, yet, but I do."

[personal profile] nerves_of_ice 2014-12-30 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Not right now," he says, after a moment's hesitation.




"I'm... sorry."
nerves_of_ice: (steve & bucky: side by side)

[personal profile] nerves_of_ice 2015-01-01 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure."

He moves to Steve's left without hesitation.

[personal profile] nerves_of_ice 2015-01-01 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
It holds for some time.





"In the cells."

Abruptly, out of nowhere.

"She's ... different. From what you know."

[personal profile] nerves_of_ice 2015-01-01 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
"You... will. Someday."

A long, long beat.

"Natasha. Romanova. --Romanoff."
nerves_of_ice: (winter soldier: sidelong look)

[personal profile] nerves_of_ice 2015-01-01 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
"You don't know her now," he says, flatly.

He considers the sound of those words, then qualifies them.

"Her now."

Another long beat, as he frowns over what Steve has just said.

"She engineered the intel release?"
nerves_of_ice: (winter soldier: sidelong look)

[personal profile] nerves_of_ice 2015-01-01 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah."

He walks several steps in silence.




"I wasn't ... sure."
nerves_of_ice: (winter soldier: sidelong look)

[personal profile] nerves_of_ice 2015-01-01 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay."

He nods.

"And... I know. Now, I mean. That ..."




"They wouldn't have. Targeted her, with you. If she was ... with them."

A thoughtful beat.

"Probably."
