Just pick a year. You don't need two of me in your head -- I don't need two of me in my head. You think if you stick a label on a bunch of little pictures, suddenly it's easy to tell one from the other? It's not that simple.

Pick a year.

I don't think that's gonna work, hon. Once they got that "two (three in your case) charactesr in one!" benefit, they don't let go.

[wwii]

I might've stood a chance if her damn friend hadn't sprung for the extra face-time. [ shut up bucky we're very grateful. ]

[lady_blackhawk]

I'd say her friend is generous, but really, I think we all benefit from a face like that.
[Dammit, Zinda, just because you've got a little bit in common with the guy...]

[canbedeceitful]

Call me selfish, but I do like the years where you know who I am.

[wwii]

Not the best ones, but something good came out of them.

[canbedeceitful]

The people who think that they're in control really do love the torment.

[Steve swallows hard, fighting back memories and the guilt that he's never been able to shake, his voice slightly unsteady.] Y'know what year I'd want your mundane to pick.

[wwii]

[ oh great, his best friend the american avatar. instant guilt trip, do not pass go, do not collect $200. ]

You and me both.

[like_a_gerbil]

[That...didn't sound reassuring. The future then but how far along the timeline?]

So...Is it going to be when you were Winter Soldier or after you were given my shield?

[akidfrombrooklyn]

B-Bucky, is it really you?

[ He wants to believe it, he really does, but he's also a little terrified of what that means. ]

[wwii]

Haven't been called that in a while, but yeah. Yeah, it's me, Steve.

[ kind of. ]

[widowing]

Nothing ever is. I don't think that'll change if and when she does pick a year.

[wwii]

Yours hasn't exactly been a moderating influence either.

[widowing]

Sorry about that.

[recalibration]

At least they're not trying to find parallels between you and everyone else with your face.

[wwii]

Something to be grateful for, I guess. I don't think I'm quite mad as a hatter. [ and she sure knows fuck all about gossip girl oops. ]

[recalibration]

Just get wary if top hats and scarves start finding their way into your standard uniform.

[papastark]

Apparently to them, it is simple. You probably shouldn't push the issue.

[wwii]

Probably.

[cherrybombpie]

A year? Hmm - 1987! That's the current year, yes?

[wwii]

Give or take 25 years.

[cherrybombpie]

What do you mean? How can the current year be anything but what it is?

[ambitious]

And every now and then I realize I'm lucky that mine doesn't have much to choose from.

[wwii]

Glad to be of service.

[ambitious]

Sorry. It just...doesn't happen a lot. She might not have much of a time frame to choose from, but trust me, there's no end of traumatizing events for her to amuse herself with.
