[Hello Moira crew, did you miss him? Probably not. Hell, he doesn't even recognise half the names on the roster anymore, so most of you probably didn't even know he was here. But he's back, not so much in black, and he's getting reacquainted. He's been out of cryo for a bit, but he's been trying to make sense of everything going on until that nifty little warning he saw on the network. A+ everyone. You managed to tick some new race off without the help of a Stark. Which, he seems to be the sole Stark onboard now. That's depressing.]

Okay, can anyone fill me in on who we pissed off this time, since I've been a little out of the loop as of late? Well, actually, until semi-recently, I've been an ice cube. Cap--saw your name on the roster; welcome back buddy--next Cap-cicle joke I make, you're allowed to deck me. I think I have freezer burn, I swear. Is that even a thing I can have? Medical gives me a clean bill of health, but I think I want a second opinion.

What was I saying? Oh, right. A recap would be nice. Stark out. [He waves at the camera and cuts the feed.]

[Pleasure to meet you, suspicion. As if he hasn't seen that look a thousand times for a thousand different reasons.]

As in Stark Industries.

[It's okay, old timer. No harm.]

Tony Stark. And the kid with a chip on his shoulder is...?

Well, one, he ain't a kid. [ Ya grey-haired bitch. ] Second, his name's [ Actually, that the hell should he call himself? He may have met Tony, but this guy clearly doesn't remember him. Or has never met him. Yet? TIME TRAVEL IS SO STUPID OH MY GOD!! ] Jim. Jim Barnes.

[ If this fella's as smart as he's supposed to be, a change in nicknames shouldn't throw him off. ]

Well, he isn't quite an adult yet. [Squint. Mouthy brat.]

Jim Bar--[That's really all it takes. The attitude, the name... he knows you, kid. And he groans.] James Buchanan Barnes? I know your older self. Less of a mouthy punk and more of a... well, fine. He was also a mouthy punk. [Just, y'know, more menacing and less chihuahua.]

[ We need to find you a mirror, Tony. ]

Thank God for some universal constants. I know you, too... Guess it's been some years for ya since then.

[ Yeah, Bucky thinks he's hilarious. ]

Are there more of you? Whatever you called yourselves. Invaders, Part Two.

[ That's basically what you are boys are. ]

Oh, look at that. The mouthy punk thinks he has a sense of humour.

Didn't Cap teach you to respect your betters? Yes, there are more of us. Avengers. And your buddy leads us, so check that attitude.

[Buck, you get such a frown.]

[ Thinks? KNOWS! Rude. ]

Really? [ Now that he didn't know. Steve was a no show when he met the Avengers two years ago. And as Steve has and never will take sick leave, something told him he was long dead by the time his replacement came around. Some asshole with a mechanical arm. Pff what a loser that guys must be. ] Does being partner to tall, blond, and handsome have perks? Do I get to sleep in late?

Perks? If being periodically subject to his righteous rants is a perk to you, then yeah. [So much sarcasm.]

Do you--? [More squinting. How do you tell someone they're not actually part of the club without being rude? He's bitchy but he's not a complete dick.] No. You don't. All early mornings and godforsaken drills every day. I usually made a habit of being nowhere to be found.

[Not a complete lie. Just, lying by omission. And yes. Mr. Metal arm is a total loser. The worst. Yep.]

Aww, his rants are the best. Well mine's are... I dunno about this guy's yet.

[ There could be a big difference. ]

Gosh, it's almost like saving people is a big responsibility! Good to know who the slackers are right off the bat!

[ Duuude, let him join the cool kid's club! He's really good with, like, shooting people, garroting them from the ceiling, severing a spinal column cleanly. You know! The fun stuff! ]

Not all of us are Super Soldier's or Russian spies, okay? Some of us are just engineers and scientists. [Why is he defending himself to you? Probably just his confrontational side.]

I have better things to do. Like upgrading everyone's gear so they've got the best there is and nothing goes wrong. I wear a suit of armour. I don't need to be a human weapon. We've got plenty of those on the team already.

And you, pipsqueak, don't need to know anything about the team. Try again after you hit puberty. [Kid, you're way too unstable for this...]

.... I'm not a pipsqueak.

[ Yep, that's all he's got to say. ]
