Thread: The Asset - Avengers (Moon Struck Fox & Defiant)

He does look different. more human this time. he's still really mechanic though, like those creepy robots Tony keeps around. Steve admitted with a sigh. i know Sam. i know he can never be the same as he was. i told him that too, the same thing you told me. about how i could never be who i used to be. he admitted. he wants to be Bucky again, asked me to tell him about himself but i'm not sure if that would actually help him or not. i'll try a few of the more calm stories. maybe about how he used to dance with my Ma or something. he muttered. i don't want him to try forcing himself to be the person he used to be. he admitted. i tried that already. it didn't nd well. he grumbled. honestly if the events of D.C. hadn't happened, if he'd never met Sam, who knew if he'd have manged to stay out of depression. he had been sinking into it as it was when he started running, trying to drown his problems. it would have been a huge mess if he hadn't found Sam. Yeah, Home. for however long you need. he promised James with a smile. i know how you feel. it took me a long time to understand the concept of home again myself. he admitted. adjusting was really hard for me. i can't imagine what i would have done if i hadn't met Sam. he really helped me adjust to my new life. he admitted. the inside was really very comfortable. full of fluffy furniture and dark woods. there was still a few things that Steve didn't want to give up, like his Gramophone. though, people didn't call it that anymore. it was 'record player' now. it was in the corner of the living room ext to a bookshelf full of his favorite records. mostly it was swing and jazz but he had some blues in there too. he did have some more modern music available too, he particularly liked the Beach Boys and the Beatles and he thought Madonna, Cindi Laupner and a few others where pretty nice too. Tony had even gotten him into Imagine Dragons, ACDC and Nickleback, though he didn't have the more modern music because he hadn't gotten around to getting a CD player yet. yeah you definitely need one. Steve agreed to Bucky's shower idea. while Bucky didn't stink, Steve knew from personal experience a shower could be very cleansing. he showed Bucky into the nicely modern bathroom. bigger than what Steve really needed but there was no arguing with Tony. there was a huge bathtub on one wall and a very nice standing shower in the corner. Steve would never admit it, but he loved filling the bathtub with bubbles and soaking in it. or bath fizzies, or bath salts, or any number of 'womanly habits' as Natasha called them. he had all of his 'girly' things well hidden, Bucky might find them but Steve doubted the other would be curious enough to go poking around for a while. he set out the soap and shampoo and handed him a towel and wash rag promising they could go to the store and get Bucky his own bath supplies once the other was feeling better. another thing he owned that he refused to give up was his straight razor and the things that went with it. the Hone, the Strop, the shaving brush and even the little tin of shaving cream that one had to whip themselves and then brush onto their face with the brush. he couldn't stand using those flimsy little 'safety razors' that where 'safer'. sure they where safer but they didn't work worth a damn! even if he did have several men's safety razors for when Ton or Sam came to stay the night. he left Bucky alone in the shower and headed into his bedroom to find some of his smaller clothes that would fit Bucky a little better. he'd have to call Tony and see about using the others card to buy Bucky some much needed things. Bucky was going to need a whole new wardrobe, personal effects, toiletries and probably a medical check too. when James spoke Steve jerked in surprise and yelped when his head connected to something hard. he staggered out of his closet, clutching his head before grinning sheepishly at Bucky. yes! of course! sorry i meant to have some set out for you but i got distracted. he admitted. here. this stuff should fit you a little better. he admitted, indicating the pile on the bed. i'll take you shopping once you feel ready for clothes and shoes and your own shaving kit and stuff. he promised. i'll wash that stuff too. i can work a washing machine now. Natasha taught me. he admitted with a grin. he'd been washing his clothes by hand previously, he had to admit, the washing machine was a lot more efficient, even if he didn't think they got as clean as when he did them by hand. you feel better? he asked the other, slipping out the door so that Bucky could get dressed in privacy. i have some hot soup on the stove for you. some toasted cheese too. in the nineteen twenties, when processed bread and cheese became nice and cheep, it was common to have 'open faced' grilled cheese sandwiches that where called toasted cheese or melted cheese sandwiches. Steve had often lived off of them because he and his mother had been rather poor. it had been a staple of his diet and something he often had when he was feeling upset or nostalgic.
