[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.)

My friends from home... I'm really lucky they're all here with me. I don't know what I'd do if I had to be alone.

[There's a certain amount of fear in the way he says it, though. The way he averts his eyes.

He knows exactly what would happen. Nothing good. Probably die. A lot. Live in perpetual terror, too afraid to go out and make new friends who could help him. He cheers up though as he starts talking about his friends]


There's Adam and Ronan, they've been here with me the longest... Gansey left and came back after a while, it's so good he's back. And Blue just showed up! I'm really happy to see her again. I mean - I'm sad she's stuck here, but... not that sad. I guess I'm kind of a selfish friend.

It'd be rough.

[Steve can admit that much too. He's always been stubborn about needing someone else's help, someone else's comfort. But he is grateful that he's not alone.]

You're friends with Gansey? He seems like a pretty good guy.

You've met Gansey?

[Noah says this like it's something like winning the lottery. It kind of is, Gansey's that kind of person.]

He's great. I mean... Ronan and Adam can take care of themselves, they aren't helpless or anything, but Gansey still kind of takes care of all of us, you know?

I'm not surprised. He sounds a little bit like my friend.

[How he used to be, even if Steve would never put it that way.]

You're lucky to have him then. Friends like that are a 'rare breed'.
