[ it's late by the time he catches up with steve, pepper finally sleeping peacefully in their treehouse. their treehouse. it feels surreal. wanda texted him earlier to tell him ~the news~ and here he is, one golden retriever in tow, afraid if he didn't bring digby with him that he might wake pepper. ]
I'm glad Prince--Wanda showed you your digs... [ oh yeah they're like biffles here. he knows that's weird. also that he built this treehouse for bucky actually. but then was going to give it to the other cap. this is already the third iteration of the man he's seen in as many months, not including that flame-on douchebag who seemed to share his face. this place was so weird. ]
Um, if it's missing anything. Let me know? I'll put it on the list. [ of the many many terrible things he has to do for this camp. he hadn't actually spoken to wanda yet so he wasn't sure what cap knew or when (where?) he was even from. he supposes it's time to find that out. ]

[It's only then that the sound of paws hitting the ground filters in. He turns to see the dog approaching. He smiles briefly before the confusion hits.] Are they yours?

Date: 2016-03-06 06:09 am (UTC)Oh, what? Digby? [ he points. obviously that's who steve is referring to. ] It's not really - like that. I scratch his back he barks when something's trying to murder me.

no subject
Date: 2016-03-06 06:27 am (UTC)There are more? [He catches the overeagerness in his voice and tries to settle down.] Sorry, I...
[His lips twist in an unpleasant smile.] You're gonna think this is hilarious, but I'm totally lost here. One minute Nat and I are training a team and then... this. It's weird.

Date: 2016-03-06 06:32 am (UTC)...That's how it happens for everyone you know. [ but that means he and steve are from the same time back home and that helps somehow. he had never gotten the chance to ask the last one. ] I know we're not -- besties or anything. [ tony wrinkles his nose. even if steve did say he missed him!!! that was nice, if random. ]
But I'm going to need your help with everything around here.

Date: 2016-03-06 02:59 pm (UTC)Sorry I... missed you. Pepper's here. [ and surely steve rogers of all people knew what it was like -- to put your best girl above everything else. even if it's just for a moment. he'd been looking for steve, and for bucky, at the crash site when pepper had crawled from the wreckage. and then that was it, the rest of his evening had been locked down. ] But if you need me you can just throw something at me. [ he points to how close their treehouses are. he deliberately did that for ease of the grid, and so they could climb from house to house if there was danger, but the windows face away from one another so it's not completely without privacy. ]

Date: 2016-03-06 04:23 pm (UTC)He takes in a sharp breath as he experiences that fear and determination. That flash of Bucky, the man he's desperately searched and longed for, quickly follows suit.
That's enough to get him to stare Tony down. He doesn't ask if the other man knows what's going on here. It's hard to miss the message even for Tony Stark.]
... It's fine. She probably needed you more. I had Maximoff.

Date: 2016-03-06 10:51 pm (UTC)Yeah, you did. She helped me out too, when I first got here.

Date: 2016-03-07 02:22 am (UTC)[Truly. Steve smiles briefly before just asking the obvious.] You didn't feel weird a minute ago, did you?
no subject
Date: 2016-03-07 02:26 am (UTC)That was me. I was getting to that part. This place... It's not normal. [ he stops craning his neck, instead looking down at his lap. he hopes steve isn't mad he did that without warning him first. ] The ship takes a toll on all of us, in different ways.
And gives us psychic abilities. [ surprise? ]

Date: 2016-03-07 02:56 am (UTC)Steve frowns deeply.] If that's the case, we'll have to learn control.

Date: 2016-03-07 03:04 am (UTC)It manifests in everyone differently. Whether or not they came here with anything extra. But if you -- god. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but. If you really focus, like, meditate? Or whatever. You should be able to feel it. It starts out small and then grows the longer you're here.

Date: 2016-03-10 05:15 am (UTC)[He asks carefully. Steve should say what he means: tell me about Bucky. That would be too easy.]
