[Yesterday morning, Bucky woke up feeling... great, really. Better than great. Until he started realizing something was definitely very extremely wrong, which started to sink in when grabbing stuff snapped it in half or pulled stuff off the wall, and see and smell things way sharper than he'd been able to before, and there was a very horrifying couple minutes where he was pretty sure he was losing his mind.

So, after calming down enough to pick up his communicator - incredibly gingerly, worried he was going to destroy that, too - he scrolls through the few posts that have already gone up, and then flips on the video feed, looking vaguely annoyed. Someone who knows him well might notice he's actually pretty damn unsettled, but he's doing a good job of putting up a front for the Barge at large.]

Is anyone missing some superpowers they've usually got? Because I think I know what happened to 'em.

[ooc: Bucky's swapped species with Ben, which means he's got all the powers and abilities of an X5. If anyone wants to run into him wandering around the ship, tag in with a time and place and he can totally be there!]

But isn't it weird when it's a younger, not brainwashed version of a person you used to quasi date?

"Well, I guess I wouldn't know." Yet.

No shut up she is not focusing on that at all shut up shut up shut up.

She just smiles a little, then nods to the greenhouse. "What were you doing?"

He shrugged a little, glancing back up at the greenhouse before looking back at "Nicole".

"Figuring out what I can do now. Figured I should test it out a little bit before I accidentally destroyed something important." Or before someone jumped him and tried to do something stupid, since that apparently happened around here more frequently than anyone was comfortable with.

"Smart," she allowed, but it was so strange to watch. It was like he was learning what it was like to be a super soldier; the Winter Soldier hadn't been one, technically, but the arm had done a lot for his abilities.

"Does that mean you haven't accidentally destroyed something yet? I thought I might see the rails broken, when I got up here."

It did sort of seem like this was what it would be like to be a super soldier, but with a couple added bonuses. Steve had never mentioned super hearing or vision, and considering the work they did, he was pretty sure it would have come up at some point.

"Nothing important." So very wry, because yep some stuff had definitely gotten a little messed up at first and he was probably going to need to ask the Admiral to patch it up or something. "Have a little faith."

"A little is about all I can spare." And wow that is true beyond the joke, isn't it? Nope, not thinking about that. "Should I be cataloging the damage, to tell the Admiral?"

Bucky laughed, looking at her with mock incredulity. "You're gonna rat me out? Aw, come on, that's not fair. This kinda thing takes a learning curve."

"A learning curve, not mass property damage." The teasing tone is in her voice still, and she makes herself smile at him like this is normal, like shes can flirt with him like there's nothing to remember. "It's probably my civic duty to say something."

"I'm not a public menace. Otherwise I'm pretty sure the greenhouse woulda been trashed when I climbed up there."

Which... would have been awkward to explain. And/or get fixed.

"Are you sure? Handstands on the greenhouse seems pretty menacing to me."

She really had to put a stop to this. Even if it was easy. Even if it was a good way to keep an eye on him. It was probably incredibly unhealthy and would be bad for her in the long run.

(She was doomed.)

Probably. Although for everyone's sake, it was probably better than he wasn't actually the man Natasha knew, because that seemed like there would be more collateral damage and hurt feelings all around.

"Funny. You didn't seem like someone who'd scare that easy."

So much more collateral damage. And Natasha might kill something. Who knew.

"How do you know how easy I scare? You barely know me." Stop making this so easy Bucky, please. Please. :c
