[It's not the same as before where he'd woken up with a light breeze on his skin causing his too-long hair to dance across his forehead, and the sweet, dry smell of fruit trees. No, it's blue light and too much wind. There's nothing normal about that. The communication device strapped to his hand is cold. Bucky's used to not remembering things, but the long hall and unfamiliar faces tell him something's off. There's a million explanations going through his mind and none of them make any sense except one and he doesn't want to think about that.

Bucky goes through the motions. Steels himself while he's checked out. Signs the contract. Lets someone take him to his room and then walks the halls. Now back in his room, he clicks on the MID. His face is half-hidden and voice low. He wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't necessary. He's combed every inch of this goddamn ship and he can't find Steve anywhere.]

I'm looking for someone. Tall. Blond. Loves America.

[It's risky to put it out there. He doesn't know these people and trust isn't something he gives easily. But he needs to find someone he remembers. Someone from Wonderland. Someone from back home. Everything is muddled and this place looks like something his mind has made up.]

His name's Steve.

[There's a brief pause.]

If someone could tell me what the hell's going on here, I'd appreciate it.

[The feed cuts off.]

[ooc: this bucky is a crau from another game. he thinks that he never left his previous game world and that it is during an 'event'. i'm so sorry if he confuses anyone.]

So you don't know me. Well, the me I am.

[He has to stop. He's not making sense.]

Last time we were together, you apologized. I said I didn't deserve it. Any of that ring any bells?

yeeeeeah no
not a clue

sorry, buddy, but you're probably not in Kansas anymore

right. starting to get the idea that nobody knows me here.

any chance you're from the same time as I am?

statistically speaking and based on personal experience
probably not
just saying

but what the hell
when are you from?

2016.
how about you?

[With his luck, it'll be nowhere near then.]

yeah, that figures

[ It's ok man, he's sick of this incompatible timestream nonsense too. ]

subtract about four years from that

[That’s four years too far back. Half of that he was still under Hydra’s thumb. The other half he’d been on his own and then – yeah. A lot’s happened.]

if you’ve got questions I’ll answer them.

[ Yeah, he's done this dance before. Bits and pieces of information about the future - the Mandarin, Extremis, Ultron - and not a single bit of it has ever been good. He's even dissuaded others from seeking out information about their own futures, knowing full well it can be a heavy weight on the conscience more than anything else.

Still... ]

then i guess my question is "how much will i regret asking"?

more than both of us would be comfortable with.

[Bucky won't do this over text and he needs a few days before trying face to face, but he will do it.]

why did i figure that would be the answer?

[ Oh yeah, because that's always the answer. ]

i'm gonna be honest with you
everything i've found out about the future has been shitty so far
i'm not exactly chomping at the bit to find out more

that's all i needed to know.
i won't say anything unless you ask.

[For better or worse, Bucky wouldn't tell Tony what he knows. They'll just have to deal with that (again, the first time) if it ever comes out.]
