BUCKY BARNES. 

“there are things from the winter soldier days that i'm just remembering. weapons left in the field... dangers i can still prevent. i think maybe that's the path... a way to the redemption i've been looking for.”

name  ― bucky barnes / jahan bhakta . alias  ― winter soldier .  age  ― thirty .  gender  /  pronouns  ― cismale / he/him .  faceclaim  ― dev patel .  occupation  ― spy .  affiliation  ― ( cautiously ) the avengers .  canon ― blend of comics 616,  some mcu , personal headcanons . 

what  was  your  character's  life  like  in  2024 ?

honestly when has bucky’s life ever been great ? he wasn’t the winter soldier anymore , right at that point where he was just deprogrammed so like . he wasn’t doing great but he was also doing much better than where he currently is now in 2012 ( we’ll go into this later. ) he was captain america once ! he hated every second of it like why did steve think that was a good idea ! ( he knows why but he truly does not wish for it to happen again <3 ) but uh he was on the track to doing good . trying to be better than what he was . he was getting there and then well . we’re back to 2012 . 

does  your  character  have  any  memories  from  2024  or  their  past  ?

hazy flashbacks & nightmares , i fear . during this time in 2012 he would have been the winter soldier so he’s truly #Going-Through-It right now , getting attacked with the future and wondering why it looks like that . he’s not doing great like he’s really not doing great at all ! have y’all ever seen rabid dog backed into a corner ? i haven’t -- but i can’t imagine that it’s a nice sight to see ! he will be struggling with himself so <3 fun stuff ! 

what  are  they  doing  in  the  year  2012  ?

literally right now not even close to joining the avengers again , like i actually do not know what this man is going to be doing other than trying not to give into impulses <3 man’s is a hot ass mess and not in a sexy way !

Akihiro knew it was a stupid idea. He knew he was going to get chewed out the second Norman managed to find him again, but that was contingent on Norman looking up from whatever executive he was trying to schmooze on in that moment. And besides, Akihiro has been trained on espionage and stealth since he was a child, so it was easy enough to slip behind a pillar, and exchange Logan’s yellow and browns for something that wasn’t quite so offensive. Plain black suit. Black on black. Normal enough to blend in, but tailored enough to stand out. Along with snagging a champagne glass from a tray, he was on his way, in the opposite direction from where the rest of the team was. He ended up in some kind of showcase hall, with rows of female Greco-Roman weaponry on display behind plates of glass. He leaned over the banister, taking a casual sip from his drink as he looked at the weaponry. Impressive, though would probably be more so if Akihiro had any context for what he was looking at. He  turned to the person closest to him, putting on his most charming smile. “Sorry, I hate to do this, but did you happen to grab one of those pamphlets when you walked in? It seems like I dropped mine.”

he had been sent here to keep an eye on things with nat , weaving in and out of a crowd unnoticeable was one of his past times , and he was very good at it , and it seemed just about everyone that he had once knew was here besides a few people .... he couldn’t think about steve right now even if he wanted to indulge in the open wound , he knew that he exactly couldn’t right now . he was in one of the less populated areas of the exhibit hoping to be able to just quietly bounce out of here and go somewhere more quiet , where his head didn’t feel like exploding with all these sharp little twists of memory digging at the back of his head . it was just too much . 

he can hear someone say something , and he doesn’t look over at them , just lets out a silent breath before saying in a monotone , “ no . “

open starter !

location: stark expo, latverian embassy showcase

giving the variety of latverian exports a once over, natasha raises an eyebrow, wondering if anyone here would even be half as interested if they knew the contents of just the redacted files on latveria she has access to. she feigns interest, though, not wanting to stick out, not when––ah. especially not when one of her targets is within their line of vision.

natasha weaves their way over, fakes a trip and a stumble. placing her hand on the mark’s shoulder to steady themself, natasha lets out a practised clumsy laugh. “oh jeez, i’m such a klutz! so sorry uh…”

bucky is trying to keep himself together . then again , if you were to ask anyone closest to him they would say the same thing , when have you ever had it together ? he’s been watching natasha from afar , he’s gotten very good at blending in when he needs to , and by the time he sees her getting ready to make her mark he starts walking with the crowd of people , blocking himself in such a way that she wouldn’t see him until he’s completely on purpose , trips her and then he does very genuinely grab her to keep her in place , their faces are close to each other and he lets out a quick breath . “ your acting is shit , which i guess i get is the purpose but it’s almost laughable . “ he lets her go gently , leaning against one of the walls before looking over at her target . 

“ this couldn’t have waited a bit longer ? “ he asks , bucky was on his way to trying to get back to where he was , but he’s been having some ... trouble lately on focusing on the subject at hand , too often caught up in his own head and being unable to escape it once he’s entered it .

starter for : open . 

location : latverian embassy showcase

Emma wasn’t one to involve herself in human affairs. Not like how she used to with the Hellfire Club, manipulating events into their favour by having world leaders and politicians under their thumb. Though she was currently with the X-Men, she tolerated humans only. She never mistaken tolerance for trust. She also made no secret that she was a mutant. She refused to be shamed for her gifts that were bestowed upon her. She didn’t see why she should, with people like the Avengers so celebrated and people like her being condemned due to having a gene.

Taking a glass of the Latverian wine, she held the glass by its neck and tilted it away from her, checking for debris before swirling it specifically eight times. Of course, Emma had etiquette drilled into her from a young age and it had always stuck with her. She inhaled the scent for a moment before taking a sip, continuing to walk through. She paused momentarily to look at something being displayed, her head tilting as her cobalt blue eyes watched it for a moment.

She was then approach by some little man who had a lot to say for himself. Emma paid no mind until the word ‘mutie’ was muttered under his breath. Emma turned sharply to look at him. “Darling, I do believe in restraint but do not mistaken that compassion. Choose your next words wisely as that will be the deciding factor on whether you continue to enjoy the event or you urinate yourself and cry all the way home.” She said, her tone low and sharp. She turned away to then look back to the technology, not seeing or even caring if anyone heard her harsh remark.

bucky didn’t want to be here . he was already going through enough as it was and being here would send him into overdrive he feared . but like with most things , he pushed himself all for the sake of endurance . but he was struggling , he hadn’t been able to sleep , too afraid of his dreams and what they would hold for him , and they were never very kind to him . he couldn’t discern between what was meant to be real and fake . what had happened and what was just his imagination running wild . there were too many tiny flashes of memories being at this expo , the name of a man who’s family bucky had done an atrocious things to , but that was kept in the far back of his mind , and honestly everyone was better off for it . but the uneasiness ? that had stayed . 

he’s got a cigarette in between his fingers, twirling it around until listening a conversation cut short , he looks over at the man and then at the woman before letting out a short unamused laugh , rolling his eyes , and placing the cigarette in between his lips and lighting it .
