Is that the official term for it?

...Yeah. Guess so.

[deadthenred]

Oh. [Now he just misses Steve...]

So what didja wanna ask?

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

Might sound weird now, but. I wanted to ask if you were okay.

[deadthenred]

Well, yeah. I'm fine.

[He's always fine.]

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Be nice to hear you're doing better than fine, but I'm glad.

[deadthenred]

I'm trapped in a future I don't belong to and some of my limbs're missing. I'm not gonna lie and call it peaches— but it'll do.

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

[ Hard not to wince at that. ]

Fair point. I. I don't know if I want to ask about the missing limbs.

[deadthenred]

Really it's just the one.

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

Still one too many, if ya ask me.

[ Steve is just going to be over here radiating concern and frowns. ]

[deadthenred]

It's the least I could give my country.

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

[ Damn it, he can't argue with that. He's just going to pace instead. ]

I know. I know what you're saying, but. You're the closest thing I got to family and the only one left of it. I know I should be just happy that you're alive and all right, but it feels like I should've done something.

[deadthenred]

Jeez Louise!

It wasn't even your universe and you're going off and feeling guilty about it.

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

I didn't say that! I just don't like the idea of you getting hurt.

Any you.

[deadthenred]

Yeah, well, I sure didn't enlist for the health benefits.

I know it's rough, but I ain't gonna break.

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

I think I argued that same point with you once.

[ He doesn't quite relax, but at least he stops pacing. He really is trying not to look too worried or gloomy now, really he is. ]

Suppose it's too late to ask you to be careful.

[deadthenred]

I didn't—

Like I said, I'm fine. I don't like fussing.

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

I'm not fussing.

Much.

[deadthenred]

Yeah, you are. [He says it matter of fact, not like he's angry.]

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

Only a little.

Only because last I saw you, you were just shipping out and now I see you missing limbs. It doesn't matter if it's just one and you're not from my universe or whatchacallit. You're still Bucky.

[And thus totally warrant fussing. His logic is flawless.]

[deadthenred]

What d'you mean, just shipping out?

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

What I said. Last I saw you, you had your orders and were headed out for training and then who knows where on the front lines.

[deadthenred]

That wasn't how it happened.

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

Well, how else is it supposed to happen?

[His turned to be confused.]

[deadthenred]

I didn't— I was done with all my training before I ever met you. I mean, the other... you know what I mean.

We weren't even in the war, yet.

[nosteroidshere.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Yeah, that is. Different. We were already in the War when I started trying to sign up.
