(video)

[The video is showing two very different men sitting side by side on a couch in one of the apartments. The soldier, big, strong, metal arm, and still in his tactical gear but without his mask and goggles, seems to be showing the other, Steve, how to use the phone. The video joins this demonstration already in progress.]

Like that. See?

[He hands the phone over to Steve.]

And now it’s showing to everyone else.

[Steve’s figured out...well, most of the basics. Those that he could on his own. He was too stubborn to ask for help, but somehow Bucky must’ve known that he needed a little more instruction.]

Huh. [He takes the phone from the larger man.] So you’re saying that everyone can see and hear us right now? [The same way Steve has seen and heard others over the network. He blinks, expression brightening with an idea.] To everyone I haven’t met yet, my name’s Steve Rogers. And this is Bucky.

[Steve nods his head in his direction, but he never looks away from the phone.]

He used to like dancing. I don’t know if he does or not anymore, but if anyone needs a partner, it can’t hurt to ask.

[See what happens when you teach him things, Barnes.

For the soldier’s part, he turns his head to glare at Steve, then leans back into the couch, crossing his arms and scowling. He sure as hell isn’t going dancing with anyone.
]

No one else calls me Bucky.

[The way it’s phrased, it’s clearly not a statement or a request. More like an order.

Only Steve gets to call him Bucky.]




(Bucky is red and Steve is blue. Replies will come from both.)

I can. I mean, if you say so, I can believe it.

You think it's been better here?

[ she's a little surprised at that kindness - that he believes her simply because she says it's true. it makes her smile. ]

There had to have been better. Things couldn't have gotten so bad if they were never good to begin with. The way the shops and homes look here - they look nice. Like people who cared lived here.

[He has no reason to doubt her, and it would just be rude to do it otherwise. Steve thinks about her reasoning for just a moment before nodding in agreement.]

So what do you think happened to those people?

War, maybe? Illness. Could have been anything.

Whatever it was, it's not gonna happen to us. We won't let it.
64th: That is never what people mean by that. (You never forget your first.)

[ her eyes widen. now he's talking. ] Yes. Yes. You're right. We're not going to disappear like they did. We'll figure it out.
