People who try and prove they're heroes aren't ones.

[That's something he learned from watching Captain America.]

The ones who go back for the friend who've tripped are the heroes.

[Don't read too much into that!]

[awwnoun]

[ TOTALLY READING INTO IT. ]

I think that's the nicest thing you've said to me since we got here
You're not gonna let me give you compliments back are you

[ Really, though - Bucky saying this makes Clint feel a little warmer. A little better about himself. ]

[advanced]

I wasn't talking about you.

[Except he kind of was and it was obvious.]

[awwnoun]

no, you were talking about some other guy who went back to help his tripped friend up
I get it

Gonna take that as a 'no I can't compliment you back'

[advanced]

I didn't help a friend up.

[That's a no, now leave him alone, Barton.]

Where are you?

[awwnoun]

a church. chapel. it's spooky as hell in here.
I guess it's also after lockdown since I can't leave

[advanced]

Nobody can leave today. Fog trapped us all inside.

[It might be text, but Bucky's severe disapproval is probably nearly audible anyway. Someone got trapped with Steve today.]

[awwnoun]

Sounds like fun
I'm guessing you're not happy about that

[ Yeah, he can practically hear it. ]

[advanced]

I'm not alone. Steve's here.

[Does that answer that question?]

[awwnoun]

[ ... Yes. Yes it does. ]

awww god dammit
you doing ok?

[advanced]

Yes.

[Surprisingly, that's not exactly a lie. It's not been as bad as he thought it would be.]

He's not well.

[Tattletale Bucky strikes again.]

[awwnoun]

he's not?
wait, why?

[ D8 ALL OF YOU STOP BEING NOT WELL ]

[advanced]

[Says mister missing fingers.]

Chest cold. Possibly asthma returning if the serum has been neutralised.

[awwnoun]

Wait, he has asthma?

[ That - strikes him as funny, so he's glad Bucky can't see him. ]

captain america has asthma
okay
I talked to him and he said he was going to come meet me
I assume you're not coming with him

[advanced]

He had asthma before the serum.

[He thought everyone knew this, it's a huge exhibit in the Smithsonian!]

I have somewhere else to be.

[awwnoun]

I probably should've known that, it's just weird.

and uh huh I bet you do
is that somewhere else to be literally anywhere but near me, steve, nat and tony

[advanced]

I have someone to meet.

[Not exactly a no, but not a yes either.]

It's good you're not dead.

[AWKWARD. And now he's going.]

[awwnoun]

gee... thanks

[ But he gets the sentiment, and he gets that Bucky's getting tired of talking to him, so: ]

make sure you get that frostbite checked out, ok buddy
see you around
