these are the times that try
WHO: Bucky Barnes + various
WHERE: Red Wings, the safehouse, ???
WHEN: Late March.
WHAT: Catch-all log for March, with some open prompts.
NOTES OR WARNINGS: N/A, will update if it changes.
[ Prompts are in the comments below. PM or message me at

He was an Inhuman. But we didn't figure that out until… a lot later.
[ A creepy cocoon and about 70 years later. ]
no subject
( but then, her mother was less interested in teaching everyone and more interested in curating a small, devoted army. hindsight's 20/20 with that sort of thing. )
I thought about trying to put one together here, but everyone's powers are so different. It's not really something you can generalize.
no subject
They don't just take you to New Attilan?
[ But the whole Terrigen Bomb events must've happened differently for her. ]
That's weird, though. You'd think, because all our powers come from the same thing… [ Or maybe not? Who was he to pretend to be an expert on powers. ]
no subject
( you know, because daisy's half-chinese and it's unlikely her immortal mom wanted to pack up and leave her ancestral homeland when she had the choice. )
They're similar, at least as far as origin story and eventual upgrades go. It's tied to whatever's in our chest, they get stronger the more people get involved in this world, and they tend to mirror some aspect of the person. But beyond that... your guess is as good as mine.
no subject
[ Bucky is good at that kind of guessing, but Daisy's from a world where he's a line on a wall. ]
Some aspect. [ He doesn't like the implications, there. On a whole number of levels. ]
no subject
Yeah, I know. ( nobody likes feeling like their personal trauma is someone else's punchline. she gets it. but daisy's a firm believer in the 'pretend like it's no big deal and then it won't be one' school of thought. ) It's enough to make you need therapy.
( moving on. )
You know what your power is, though, which means it's happened for you before. Can you make it happen, or does it happen to you?
no subject
I can make it happen. Mostly.
[ Sometimes he tries and it doesn't work. ]
no subject
( just a hunch. )
Do it anyway, though. I need to see what you're working with.
no subject
There's an awkward pause, and he looks down at his hands. ]
I have to be touching something for it to be obvious.
no subject
( for a brief second, daisy just stares at him. there's a palpable energy in the air that seems to suggest daisy will offer her own hand, as if to say just touch me.
but then she has one whole moment of sense, and fishes something out of her pocket instead. a small metal disc, a miniature shield. there are small raised stars around the edges, but the center is blank. it's a work in progress. )
Try this.
( and then she throws it at his face, because daisy's standards of training are "i watched dodgeball the movie once and it worked out okay for them". )
no subject
Then he looks down at what she actually threw at him. ]
Hah. Very funny.
[ He doesn't sound amused, but he doesn't sound upset by it, either. The emotion that passes over his face is unreadable. ]
no subject
( bucky is a mystery; daisy is easier to read. there's a sharp uptick of emotion in her voice — not quite panic, but a discomfort that threads through the syllables. it's hers. he's just using it. )
Just. Ice me. Pretend I'm dying of heatstroke or something.
no subject
[ He's not planning to do it again, either. Is he stalling? He might be stalling. But then his chest starts to glow. ]
no subject
If anyone here needs to stop worrying, it's not me.
( make like elsa, bucky. let it go. )
