In which Bucky is draged out kicking and screaming

[originalsidekick]

Look, you're a doll and all for picking me up and I'll give you credit for the amount of canon review you've done for yours truly but just between you and me? I think you're going to get in over your head.

But seeing as how the proverbial cat is outta the bag hows about you get to it and find a nice game for me. I've seen all the terrible things you do to your other charas on Bakerstreet I'd just as soon skip all that mess. It's kinda lonely being the only Invader around in your headspace yanno. I need a Steve and a Toro. Hell, at this point even a damned Subby would be nice to play off of. Find me some more Invaders out there to pal around with otherwise I'm gonna get bored real quick and you wouldn't want that now would you? Criminy, I'm a man of action for crying out loud.

So get to it, toots, and I'm sure we'll get along fine. [Smiles.]

Well, I'll be damned.

[originalsidekick]

[Suspicious look.] And what's that supposed to mean exactly?

[kneecaptain]

Nothing.

Don't worry about it.

[originalsidekick]

Riiight. Lemme guess, the whole of the internet isn't big enough for the two of us? [Or your ego, Buck?]

[kneecaptain]

What? No. [This is confusing.]

[originalsidekick]

Then what's the problem here, pal? You're actin' like me showing up is something bad. [Over sensitive much? Or maybe he just didn't like seeing what the future held for him?]

[kneecaptain]

I'm not acting like much at all, kid.

[originalsidekick]

Right, I forgot, 'cause my personality gets lobotomized like the rest of me in good ol' Mother Russia. [Deadpan.]

[kneecaptain]

Personality's about more than just being loud.

[originalsidekick]

Right, because I wanna 'grow up' and be 'Captain Emo!Pants'

[kneecaptain]

I don't even know what that means.

[originalsidekick]

Dunno it's what the mun calls you. Apparently you're gloomy and deliberately trying to get yourself killed all the time so that makes you 'emo'. [Shrugs]

[kneecaptain]

Yeah, that's crap. I haven't strapped myself to a bomb in over fifty years.

[theboywonder]

Original sidekick, huh?

[originalsidekick]

Compared to all the other 'Buckys' out there, sure. But with a name like 'theboywonder' I wouldn't be castin' any stones, pal.

[theboywonder]

Hey, at least I've got a codename.

[originalsidekick]

Oh, yeah. Robin. I'm sure the bad guys just quake with terror when they hear that. [Have a shit eating grin, Dick.]

[theboywonder]

Hey, being the Sensational Character Find of 1940 isn't easy business, Bucky.

[originalsidekick]

Is that supposed to impress me? Because yanno...kinda underwhelmed here.[Shrug.]

[theboywonder]

It's okay, you can admit the rest of you have been living in my shadow this whole time. I won't tell anyone. [He's teasing.]

[originalsidekick]

Nah, see me and Steve have a much better, and might I say healthier relationship than you an' Bruce. So really, you're just the outdated model whereas yours truly is the newer, more interesting character models.

[theboywonder]

And which one of us has been in more movies, TV shows and like, every other form of media?

So much fail

[originalsidekick]

Are we really going to go there? Three words, pal. Batman and Robin. I wouldn't exactly be crowin' from the rooftops about that. Or that 60's tv show for that matter. How was it being the poster boy from NAMBLA for all those years exactly? [Bucky's grin sharpened just a little.]

Haha nw!

[theboywonder]

Awesome. I mean, I could do without Batman and Robin, but I'm pretty sure even the people who made it wish they could forget about it.

[originalsidekick]

I'm pretty sure everyone wishes they could forget about that.
