Winter Soldier.. I accidentally Leo

[novokov_cocktail]

She's mine.

In time, it will be the same as it was with him. She will love me, just the same.

Comments

Excuse me while I quietly squeal over here in the corner.

[bucky_barnes]

If you think you can ever own Natalia you don't know jack shit about her, Novokov.

Yessssssss~

[novokov_cocktail]

[He looks mildly amused.]

Maybe. Or maybe, this is exactly what she wants. We could ask her...

[Because that isn't going to go so well for you~]

I shoulda have tagged with my 616 Bucky but he doesn't have as many pissed off face icons. XDD

[bucky_barnes]

Or maybe I'll blow you brains out right here and now and ask her myself. [Bucky definitely didn't look amused. But that's what happens when you're stuck playing two moves behind a madman.]

I'll say this, I will enjoy watching Nat tear you to pieces when she regains her senses.

I'm still working on his. Eventually, they will all be there.

[novokov_cocktail]

I don't think it works that way.

[A smile, a flash of teeth really. ]

Tell me, what happens if she doesn't? You seem so sure she will. But my machinery was..functional, but no where near the quality as back home. There is a possibility that she won't be coming back.

You need smarmy smirking, obnoxious icons.

[bucky_barnes]

Because I'd say all three of us are prime examples of just how shoddy the Red Room's workmanship truly is.

[His eyes narrowed dangerously but that was the only indication he gave.] Because unlike you, I know better than to underestimate Natalia. You don't know her, Leonid and I promise you, that will bite you in the ass one day soon. I just hope I'm there to see it.

[a_survivor]

Actually... you don't have it in you.

I'll enjoy watching her strangle you with your own innards. When the time comes.

[novokov_cocktail]

I assure you I do.

[Laughs.]

At this point, you should be concerned about yourself. When the time comes, what will you do? If it's your life or hers, knowing she will be mine as the outcome? Would you kill her to save yourself, or would you sacrifice yourself so she might live. Even if you don't agree with her...choices?

[a_survivor]

If you need to ask this question, Leo... you are proving my point.

Should you put me up against that choice, you've already lost. She has shown she can tell right from wrong again and again over decades. You couldn't possibly comprehend what that does to somebody. And how little your attempts to change her can succeed.

*and if Natalia regains control of herself... the price of his life is nothing, for Bucky. He knows it would damage her further, in the long run, so he'd try to avoid getting killed, but if that is the choice? He doesn't even have to consider it.*

[novokov_cocktail]

AND I AM NOT DESERVING OF THAT? I DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE WHAT YOU HAVE? A LIFE? LOVE? THOSE THINGS ARE TOO GOOD FOR ME?

What makes you so much better? You were the first, a broken toy that your friend didn't even bother to go look for.

It is a question, you think I don't know the answer? I think in all of this, I am the one being underestimated. You should know better.

[a_survivor]

You will deserve a life, and love, when you understand their value. Because you don't. After what you did, you will deserve her love... never.

My friend was frozen more inescapably than I was. He did what he could when it became possible for him to do so. But can you even understand what that means? Have you ever had a fried you've tried to look for? To help?

You do not know the answer.

[widows]

Hold your breath.

[novokov_cocktail]

Not what you're saying now. In time, it will be the same.

[widows]

As love? If you believe that, you don't know anything about it.

[novokov_cocktail]

Nothing I can't be shown. Nothing that you can't teach me.

[Ugh.. he's so skeevy.]

[widows]

[ srsly. she'd rather play tonsil hockey with loki. ]

I don't waste time on lost causes.

I HOPE THIS IS OKAY I SORT OF WENT WITH A COMBINATION

[deadlieststing]

You mention her a lot.

[ 'her' still doesn't have a name that she knows, but he mentions her often enough - often in correlation with him - that she knows who he is to him. ]

[novokov_cocktail]

Does that bother you?

[deadlieststing]

Why would it?

[ she just finds it curious. ]

[novokov_cocktail]

No, reason. No harm in asking either.

[arach_nerd]

I won't pretend to know Bucky and Nat more than in the occasional coworkers sense, but I do know them well enough to know you're not going to come out on top here.

[novokov_cocktail]

[Salutes.] That remains to be seen.

[yourbestguysgun]

Love is for children, Novokov. She'll remember that soon enough. I wouldn't wanna be you when that happens.

[novokov_cocktail]

You say that, but I don't think you believe it. She won't. I won't allow it.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ A harsh noise. ]

You do know what happened to all the others who wouldn't allow her something, right? She's the Black Widow, she's deadly.

[novokov_cocktail]

[He nods, oh he knows. Does he care? Perhaps on some level, but he's crazy, and as far as he's concerned as long as she's his? He's not the one who should be scared.]

Of course, Dzhemyms, but I'm not the one who should be concerned by that at this point.
