“Hey,” Bucky said softly, as the boy opened his eyes. “What do you need? Water? Something to eat?” He knelt in front of him, keeping his voice soft and steady. “What do you need me to do, kid?”

“I -- I just need this gone.” Theo sighed, putting his head in his hands. His head felt both heavy and weightless at the same time, kind of the same feeling someone would get if they were drunk. “The only person I know who can help me is Banner, but I don’t think he would...” He muttered, looking back at the male before him once more. “I can’t die like this.”

Bucky noticed the boy’s demeanor change, and he stood up, steering him onto the bench where he had been sitting. “Hey, look at me,” he said, crouching in front of the boy. “You’re gonna be fine, alright? Just look at me, focus on me. And breathe.” He took a deep breath and released it, repeating the gesture and hoping the younger man would take the cue.

This happened so often that Theo just wasn’t even surprised anymore. The older male helped him to a bench and the blonde sat down, hanging his head as he kept his eyes shut. His breathing was slow, and he brought his hands to his face, rubbing at his eyes. There was the feeling of like he was going to pass out, nausea... Regular as clockwork. After a few moments of silence from the boy, he finally opened his eyes and looked at the other as they’d instructed, gaze lifeless and exhausted.

“God, there really need to be, like, mutant Tinder or something. Nonhuman Tinder. More inclusive. And we all have to deal with humans making creepy remarks about us, so we should get our own apps. Electrokinesis isn’t sexy, Chad, I’ll fuckin’ zap you.” Pausing their rant, Dylan looked up at the other, finally acknowledging that they might have wanted something. “Anyway, what?”

“least you get matches. girls only really speak to me on there because i’m rich.” he said with a shrug. “that, and as soon as they see what’s happening to me, they just ghost me.” theo replied. “but yeah, i agree. we do need something like that so humans don’t give us creepy shit.” he chuckled. “ah, nothing. it’s not important.”

Bucky frowned slightly as the young man spoke, seeing something familiar in his fear and anxiety. It was how he had felt every day of his life until Shuri had managed to remove the Winter Soldier from his head. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

The blonde hadn’t really seemed this vulnerable to another person before. He sighed and waited a few moments before answering. “Honestly?” He began, looking at the older male before him. “Basically anything, I -- I dunno. I need this to stop.” Theo said, resting his hand against the lockers before him, closing his eyes for a few moments and he began to feel feint.

Bucky glanced down at his metal arm, thinking privately that at least the kid’s body was his own. He would always have a reminder of what Hydra made him do attached to his body, even if his current arm was Wakandan in make instead of crafted by Hydra scientists. “How much progress have you made?” he asked. “If you don’t mind me asking, I mean. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”

He swallowed thickly at the question. Nobody had really paid attention to Theo. He was always cast aside. “Nowhere near enough. It’s catching up faster than I thought. I have too many loose ends and no answers.” The blonde answered, looking down at his feet for a few moments. “I’m gonna die soon enough if I don’t get help.” Theo said quietly. He was always fearless, until he saw the permanent reminder on his skin. That made him feel so vulnerable. “I can’t sleep, I -- I pass out so easily. This shouldn’t be happening to me.”

Emilie let out a groan, the other’s talking having broken her concentration from the line of code on the computer screen in front of her. “If I pretend to be interested will that make this encounter quicker or drag it on?’ she didn’t bother looking up as she switched screens, hiding what she was working on. “Normally I wouldn’t mind a quick chat but I’m in the middle of something here.” 

“Coding? Not bad. Not the most interesting, but if you can do it well, hacking security cameras in Japan is always fun.” Theo replied, sitting on a nearby desk. He carted his fingers through his mess of blonde hair. He never looked as immaculate as his father did. Not that he wasn’t high maintenance, but his dad cared too much. Maybe sometimes he did too. “One time I hacked them, scared some business dudes because I was frantically making the camera move. It ws funny at the time, more of one of those ‘had to have been there’ moments.”

Bucky raised an eyebrow, flexing the fingers of his metal hand. “Technology and me are pretty close,” he said dryly, his lips twitching. He looked up at him. “Trying to undo what?”

“Just as myself and genetic mutants are.” He replied, thinking of how his own genetics weren’t ‘normal’, and made him change a lot compared to how he was as a kid. “Trying to undo what my asshole of a dad and grandfather gave me.” Theo sighed, pulling the sleeve of his jacket up and showing the slight green and yellow ting to his forearm. He never took his jacket off, or wore anything with short sleeves. Theo never really wanted anyone to see it. “It’s catching up quicker than I thought.”

From what Bruce observed, Tony was deteriorating and faster than he had anticipated. He swore to not experiment on his best friend, not without permission and clearance. This time, he would hold himself to that–to the best of his ability. A lot of things had been on his mind, from learning his former wife was publicly considered deceased, to his son being in the hospital for god knows what. 

He needed a distraction, desperately. Tony was usually the best kind. For three days, he was held up in his lab and going on minimal sleep as he researched what better ways he could treat Tony’s condition. What stung the most was getting some data back and realizing it was his fault to begin with that Tony was progressing. No one else can know that. He’d take that guilt to his grave if he had to. 

If anyone approached the lab, he didn’t hear the hissing of the doors. The scientist was just standing there, staring intently at complicated data feeds on multiple holo-screens. He needed to put the pieces together and come up with something that was not entirely off-limits. 

It had been a rough few days for Theo. More like a rough few months. Maybe he’d consider it being a rough life, but he didn’t dwell on that too much. He rubbed his obviously tired eyes and exhaled slowly. He’d been trying hard to see if there was a way to get rid of the tainted parts of him that he always blamed his father and grandfather for. To him, it was their fault. Their fault that he was ill, and potentially a bit crazy. 

He stood outside the lab where he knew Bruce worked, wondering whether there was much point in even asking for his help. He knew he’d be busy with numerous things, so he wanted to turn on his heels and leave. However, one part of him made him stay and he found himself pushing the door open, not even knocking. “Hey, uh... Mister Banner?” Theo said, remaining in the doorway.

The blonde didn’t want to proceed any further in case his visit wasn’t welcome. That, and he was so tired he probably would’ve passed out any moment if he wasn’t supporting himself with what was behind him. “I was uh, wondering if you may be able to help me out with something.” He said, half quietly. It sounded more like a demand than a request, but at the rate things were going for him, he wasn’t sure what to do. He was running out of options.

“I liked Engineering the most, I guess, but Biology is interesting, too,” Bucky said fairly. “It’s about how living creatures and things work, I can see how that would be more personal than the other sciences.”

“That’s always appealed to me as well. Tech and stuff is something I find easy, so it’s not too bad.” He replied, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. Theo quickly stuffed the books into his locker and closed it. “I guess the only reason Biology is interesting to me is because I’m trying to learn to undo something.”

“Well, then.”  Cordy’s smile spread, slow and easy.  “If you’re willing to spend a little money, let’s go get that drink, shall we?”  She glanced at the stack in his arms.  “After we drop that off wherever?”

“Course I am. I think I’ve left money in my bank there for so long it’s gained a shitload of interest on it.” Theo chuckled. Despite being a rich boy, he never acted like it. It wasn’t that he hated spending money, he just didn’t feel a need to buy things he didn’t need just for the sake of it. “Oh uh, right. Yeah. I’ll just put them in my room.”

“Nothing,” Bucky agreed, a slight smile touching his lips. “Oh, yeah? What in particular? I used to be pretty into science when I was your age.”

Theo actually returned the smile, despite it only being slight, also. “Biology and Chemistry, particularly. I’d try physics but that just confuses the shit out of me. But Biology speaks to me more on a... I dunno, personal level, I guess?”

Avery’s mutation, at its most basic level, was absolute child’s play. Quite literally. He’d all but mastered the basics of telepathy, but anything beyond still proved challenging. You could hardly blame him for his lack of practice when testing it on other people was considered “unethical” and “cruel”. But what the staff didn’t know wouldn’t get him detention, so. 

His target on the other side of the quad suddenly shouting nonsense, only to quickly seem bewildered by his own outburst, had Avery nearly in tears from trying not to laugh outright. Still, he should have probably tried it a little less out in the open, which only occurred to him as he realized someone else was nearby. Uh, that was really weird, right? Like, what’s up with that guy, y’know? 

Theo was sat down, frantically trying to find answers for something he needed. Most of the time he was on his own and didn’t really talk to other people. However, upon hearing someone yelling randomly a little bit away from him causing the blonde to look up. He rolled his eyes and laughed before looking down.

He jumped slightly when he heard another voice in his head, causing him to panic for a few moments. “Jesus fuck.” He replied, soon realising that he wasn’t on his own. The blonde carted fingers through his mess of curls and sat back. “Well that’s one way to keep someone on their toes.” Theo added, in reference to the communication.

Bucky looked over at the stack of books in the boy’s arms. “Are those for school, or did you decide to clean out of half the fiction section of the library for fun?”

“Nothing wrong with a bit of reading is there?” He asked with a quiet laugh. “Just wanted to brush up on some science reading.” Theo stated, brushing lightly over the reason he had all those books.

Cordy reached down and picked up the notepad.  “I’m glad I’m not having your day,” she agreed, holding it out.  “I’d offer alcohol, but you’d probably have to buy.”  She shrugged.  “We could hit the cafe and I’ll buy you a cookie?”

“Yeah, you really should be.” He chuckled quietly. “Thanks.” Theo added, crouching down slightly so it’d fit on the top. “I’m happy with either.”

“Since now,” Kitty shook her head somewhat, “A happy teacher, the fulfillment of a good deed…..extra credit?”

“The last two aren’t really that tempting.” Theo said, looking down at his feet which were clad in battered Converse. “I can help if you want.”

“Have you seen my mother?” She teased, smiling at the boy. “But, I suppose out of the men on Midgard, you are alright.”

“I don’t recall. Doesn’t stick out in my mind, I guess. I’m not an older woman kinda guy anyway.” He shrugged with a laugh. “Well thanks, I guess?”
