No, as a matter of fact, you do not know what you're doing.

You have enough work to do elsewhere. Do it. I'm not going anywhere.

<3 SOB SOB BUT TO BRAIN ANOTHER GAAME

That... might just do.

*Fiiine. Bucky does catch that glimmer of sadness, and shakes his head, stepping closer to give his friend a tight hug. Very tight* Hey, whatever happens, I'm coming back, and so did you. Don't you forget that, all right? Not the easy way, it's never easy when we're fighting the fight, but we don't let go of those who matter that easy.

And... I know. It's never easier, and that's why I didn't let them keep you in the dark for even a few more hours, once I was awake. The rest of the world doesn't know and a great big bunch of them don't even care, but you, you and Nat - you've carried the weight of my absence for too long. No more.

Ah. *closes his eyes for a moment* I'd been such a coward. *not able to face Steve. Even when they'd been fighting together again. Maybe if he hadn't run away, things would be different. But... too late for that, now. He's not running away on him now, not any longer.*

Anyway. Can't change the past, and maybe it's a better idea not to try.

((Sneaks the message here instead of the subject line. The game is pretty slow and the AC is almost non existent. The mods even do the AC for you. It's one of the most laid back games I've ever been in.))

[The hug is welcome, especially since most of the time he doesn't know that Bucky is alive. It does feel kind of strange since even after all the years with the serum, part of him still thinks Bucky should be taller.] When was anything ever easy for us? We wouldn't know what to do if it was.

'M glad you told me. If you hadn't, I would've dealt with it, but... [But if he'd found out the truth, even knowing the reasons why he hadn't been told, Steve would be as devastated by those lies as he'd been by Bucky's 'deaths'.]

Even if we could change the past, where would we start? When we were kids or during the war? Too many thing'd change and who knows what that'd lead to?

Thank you. It's less the activity and more keeping track of one more set of storylines that goes with another game. Buuuut I'll poke at the application. ;) And if I do, it'll probably be from the time frame after Steve returns his memories using the Cosmic Cube and before Steve gets killed. For maximum reunion owie... even with the sliiiightly different backstory. Which I may waive, if the mods will let me.

Well, no, if I'd just shown up while you were composing my eulogy, that wouldn't be a good thing. I made Nick tell you. Hence the punching through walls, because he hadn't told you in the first place.

*headshake* No, things will remain as they ever have been. Even if they hurt. Just trying for a better present, right?

There really isn't much going on at the moment. Mostly it's been introductions and small plot lines between the characters that know each other. The tagging is really slow (which I appreciate). Steve won't know anything about the Cube...oh so much reunion fun with that.

Probably best that he didn't. That way it was believable. [Because he never would have been that convincing if he'd known the truth. Knowing that wouldn't make him any less angry or ease his occasional dislike for the man. He still resented the trick with the hospital room.]

Yeah. A better present and a better future.

Well, it was a cosmic cube that was Red Skull's blue thing/tesseract in the movie, he just doesn't know that it's what brought Bucky's memories and all? Augh augh augh my brain, it's fried.

The eulogy? You did fine knowing, I'm told. But it wouldn't have been fair to keep you grieving any longer than they already had. You'll see when you and your mun get through it.

*slight, very slight smile* That's the idea.
