Shard | 01

[sinistral]

[Bucky looks entirely unimpressed (which, honestly, is a pretty common expression for him).]

Anyone else wake up in a place they didn't go to sleep?

[A beat.]

Again I mean. Arriving here in the first place doesn't count.

[oh it is on]

Hey, at least it’s not Brooklyn.

[sinistral]

[See, isn't this better than being depressed or annoyed?]

Yeah, well, we can't all be perfect. But I'll forgive you this time.

Still, Queens.

[arachnerds]

Yeah, Queens.

[he leans closer to the shard to whisper an added-]

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone how jealous you are.

[sinistral]

Yeah, we can call it that. Sure.

[It almost feels natural, this sort-of verbal sparring. Almost feels like it's something he does all the time — or maybe something he used to do and is starting to remember.]

Seriously though Queens, you do any exploring of this yet?

[arachnerds]

Kind of?

[hope you don't get motion-sickness, bucky. because it's time for the image to spin suddenly as he turns his shard round to get a shot of the tops of the other buildings. yes, he's sat on the roof right now.]

There are people in most of the buildings, so I didn't want to just...walk in.

[sinistral]

[Whoa okay hello that certainly is some swinging scenery there. But at least it's a circular motion and not falling, that certainly helps.

And seeing the actual layout of their surroundings does help too.]

That's very polite of you, I'm sure everyone appreciates that. But you can just knock if you ever want to visit with me, okay?

[arachnerds]

Wait, you mean I actually have to knock?

[look, you started it, bucky.]

[sinistral]

You know what my reflexes are like, right?

[Look he'll finish it too you young whippersnapper!!!]

[arachnerds]

Yep! And I still managed to beat you.

[okay so maybe it was more a case of managing to catch him and falcon off-guard. but he's not going to admit to that.]

[sinistral]

Well, I wasn't there so did it really happen?

[He's teasing. Mostly.]

[arachnerds]

Then I guess it's time for a round two!

[never mind that the idea of actually fighting with bucky will send him running the other direction]

[sinistral]

Or we could skip it and just say I won because we both know that's how it'll happen.

[It's a good thing they're just teasing!]
