[ 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. ]

[This is a lot to take in. Wanda and Tony have apparently buried the hatchet. They're on some strange world that's trying to kill them seemingly. Apparently he's got a place to live here. All of it has Steve reeling. It's not like they didn't know there were strange new worlds out there, but being here is a whole other story.

He takes a deep breath and releases it without ever looking at Tony.]
I'll manage.

[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?

Oh. [He's still staring at the dog. It's almost like he had this whole childhood dream about having a dog that never came true. Almost. Steve glances up at Tony.]

Do you mind if I pet Digby I don't want to ruin your thing.

[Steve lights up the second his affections are returned. Time for all the ear scratches!!! But, no he needs something to ground in all seriousness. He feels completely out of his depth here. That's saying something for a guy who woke up in the future. Sure, history shows that he'll adjust. Night one will be rough.]

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.

[Steve glances away at the nose wrinkle. Of course he takes it to mean that's beneath Tony. It's hard not to take it personally given their connection through Howard.] Sure. You know I'll pull my weight.

[Steve's spine straightens the moment the emotions start filtering in. He always feels emotion very intensely thanks to the effect the serum had on his brain. These feelings were strong to begin with.

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.

[He nods gravely. Honestly Steve is kind of surprised that Wanda avoided the temptation of revenge when there was no one around to hold her accountable. Maybe surprise isn't the right word for it. He's proud of her, he realizes. She's come a long way.] I'm glad you two seem to be getting along.

[Truly. Steve smiles briefly before just asking the obvious.] You didn't feel weird a minute ago, did you?

So we're all like Wanda now? [That takes him completely by surprise. Steve slowly lowers himself down to the floor. That's troubling to say the least. He doesn't want to hurt anyone. Given the fact he didn't even realize this might be a part of him now suggests he just may.

Steve frowns deeply.]
If that's the case, we'll have to learn control.

[Steve is blissfully unaware of the betrayals going on. He just keeps petting the dog. Apparently he has psychic powers but, hey at least he has a dog to lavish attention on?] So you can make people feel what you're feeling? See what you see? Am I getting this right?

[He asks carefully. Steve should say what he means: tell me about Bucky. That would be too easy.]
