It's 3 am everyone! Have an evil, AU version of Steve Rogers cos I couldn't help myself

[notyourgerbil]

Really don't know what you're doing, do you? I'm just here cos you want to do more RPing, but you've got no idea where to put me. And it won't be in a game, either, won't let you do that. I'd rather have one of those PSLs you keep thinking about it.

And you do realize Peggy's pretty rare, right? Not much chance in finding one for me. [He'd like it very much, though, but he isn't gonna admit that to everybody.] Besides, she'd never agree with me.

Think you should let me out, but I doubt you'll like what I'm gonna do. You can go on about "evil Steve" being sexy, but you're really a nice, good person. [He makes a face.] But I know you're gonna let me out anyway. I've got important things to do.

[But you're supposed to know that, Bucky. He shouldn't have to go on about it. Uugh...] You left. You were spose to be my friend and you left. Got yourself a nice, happy family.

But like I said, doesn't matter anymore. The serum made everything better.

[imfollowinghim]

The only time I ever left was to go fight in the war. I was with the 107th, and you busted me out of a HYDRA facility and asked me to be your partner so we could take them down. [And then he fell off a train and "died" but let's stick to the better parts of this story.] You're the closest thing to family I've got. You know that.

[notyourgerbil]

[No, no, no, that's wrong. What is going on here?] Yeah, I remember when you joined the army, they wouldn't let me in. But the rest of your story's not right.

This some kinda trick? They send you to pretend to be my best friend again so I'd let my guard down and you could stop me?

[imfollowinghim]

I'm not pretending, that's what happened. Stop you from doing what?

[notyourgerbil]

[A heavy sigh. Just... what the hell? His temper is barely restrained when he answers.] From taking back my country from the idiots who run it. They'll never beat the Russians, they only beat the Nazis cos I sabotaged the German war effort from the inside. I can do better. [Even if it will involve the loss of several freedoms, it'll all be worth it in the end. Besides, he deserves everything he wants, or so he thinks.

And he's not giving away the plan, either, just the goal. Bucky should already know all this stuff, damnit.]

[imfollowinghim]

By doing what? [Doesn't mean he won't push for answers, gdi.]

[notyourgerbil]

Nope, not telling you. You think I would just because you went on about being my friend?

[imfollowinghim]

I am your friend. I don't know what happened in whatever messed up timeline you're from, but I'd never run out on you if you needed me.

[notyourgerbil]

[Here comes the sarcasm, if only to balance his anger because that's not what happened, not what his Bucky did.] Really? So you still care? That's great!

[And then he gets serious.] Why don't you just tell me about this time of yours?

[imfollowinghim]

I already told you.

[notyourgerbil]

Not everything. Sounds like they actually let me fight in your timeline. They're smarter than they are here. Maybe things would've been different if...

[He shrugs suddenly.] Doesn't matter now.

[imfollowinghim]

Why?

[notyourgerbil]

Already told you. I got the serum, I'm better now. I'm gonna finish what I started. And I don't need you anymore, either. [Is he telling the truth? Nope. His feelings toward Bucky are so complicated. Which is why he can't help but say it.]

Unless you wanna help me.

[imfollowinghim]

[Bucky's familiar enough with this kind of thing by now to play along to get more information, so.]

What do you need me to do?

[notyourgerbil]

[He grins, then shakes his head.] Whatever I tell you to. Except...

You really think I'm just gonna trust you? You haven't given me any reason to, you can go on about friendship all you want. [He knows his Bucky would never go along with any of this, so he's not sure he'd believe one from another timeline, much as he'd really like to.]
