[Bucky shoots the rainbow a charming grin. The effect is ruined a bit by the healing black eye and the cut on his cheek but hey, it works. (Someone had a run in with the shabti guards. Not fun. He doesn’t recommend it.)]

So I’m guessin’ the giant stone things are a new thing? No one ever mentioned ‘em before, just guards and a dragon.

[Also he’s pretty sure they look kinda like those Pharaoh guys he saw in the museum once but he’s not sure]

Just sayin’, that’s something you’d want to mention to a fella before he gets here. Bucky Barnes, at your service.

[He gives a sort of cocky, lazy salute, still grinning. The grin continues as he asks his next question, but he’s clearly a bit worried]

Anyone here seen a scrawny sixteen-year-old, by the way? Shorter’n me, weighs about a hundred pounds soaking wet, probably doin’ something stupid or drawing? He looks like he’s going to kick it if you look at him wrong. His name is Steve—if anyone knows where I can find him or knows where he is, tell him Bucky got outta that damn hotel and is looking for him.

You go in, who knows when you'll get out.

[anythingwithstrings]

And... Athena sent you two there?

Guess she's got some sorta plan, I mean if Dad sent you it's because you had to be there. No question why you ended up there.

[wintersergeant]

I ended up there because like hell I was lettin' Steve go alone. Even Athena noticed that.

[anythingwithstrings]

He is a bit on the tiny side, isn't he?

You're a good friend for that, even if maybe you should have checked the fine print on going in that hotel?

[wintersergeant]

Kid barely weights a hundred pounds, though he's stubborn as hell.

[He gives Maya a look at that last comment]

You mean t'tell me you'd argue with Athena and Apollo?

[anythingwithstrings]

Argue? No, ask questions about what I'm getting into... yes.

They probably won't tell me, dad probably can't tell me, but it's a lot better than just rushing in without trying?

[wintersergeant]

They said it'd help Steve. That's all I cared about.

[So stop asking questions]

[anythingwithstrings]

Right, right, you're here to help your friend.

*Never happening.*

So how's the world compare to 1941?

[wintersergeant]

I am, yeah, an' don't doubt it.

[Brat]

...faster.
