The raccoons had been defeated, the lost had been catapulted - or telekinetically hurled - back to the surface, and James seemed in one piece. If definitely in need of a sandwich.

So was Jesse. She hadn't seen her apartment much in the past few days, and she kind of longed for the quiet right now. Sure, quiet didn't usually involve other people, but James...

James was quiet too.

"Here we are," she said. "I might even still have some pastrami in the fridge."

[[ for bucky. ]]

Bucky was definitely quiet. Even now.

Just stepping through the door, he seemed to have grown more tired. But maybe it was just that more of it was showing, now. Out of view of -- everyone.

"Anything's fine," he said.

Bucky nodded, slow and wordless.

He found his way to the couch. Set his backpack down at his feet, and couldn't help how the way he sank down was heavy.

And Bucky just...

Sat there.

Though after a moment, he began to finally peel off the gloves. Didn't need to hide his hand here, did he?

In the end, Bucky had even rolled up the sleeves of his hoodie up to the elbows. Just shiny metal on the left side.

He looked up at her, then at the plate. Reached out with his right hand to take it

"Thank you."

"Mostly cans." Rolled out to him into the dark, because sometimes things just went like that. "It's fine."

He'd had worse.

(There was always something worse.)

But even so, he was biting into his sandwich with gratitude right now.

shapethecentury: ([neu] look over)
From: [personal profile] shapethecentury
"Yeah, maybe."

Definitely.

But he was eating.

And so it went for a long moment, until Bucky finally hazarded a sideways glance at her.

"How was it, up here?"

He was the kind of person who landed on a soft voice without deciding to.

Bucky almost nailed a wry tone. "Sounds like Fandom."

In that it made very little sense.

"Down there, we just didn't... know much."

Bucky managed a little snort. "See? Fandom."

He was going to be deeply unsurprised once he eventually met Rocket.

"Yeah, I heard it'd been a while," Bucky said, the last of his attempts at wry falling away. "Guess I picked the wrong time to return."

He hadn't deliberately picked a damn thing.

There was no point in asking if those were all actual things. Of course they were.

"Woulda preferred any of those over the hole," Bucky admitted, mildly, his gaze drawn back to what little was left of his sandwich.

Bucky glanced up - towards the kitchen, too, not at her.

He nodded, but barely. "Sure."

shapethecentury: ([neu] funeral chic)
From: [personal profile] shapethecentury
Bucky gave a little shrug. "I can't get drunk, so..."

So, it was just the ritual on his end, too.
