Alright, so, [Bucky's still in his room, which looks the same as normal Bucky's room, but Bucky himself looks about a decade younger, and for the first time literally in his entire time on board isn't wearing some kind of military uniform. It's been swapped out for a buttoned down plaid shirt with a t-shirt underneath, jeans and sneakers, and he looks a little out of place in the pretty spartan, clearly military room he's hanging out in.] Either this flood's just switched all our rooms around - Stiles, this one might be yours? - or we traded memories or something, so I guess no one knows who we're dealing with anymore. Might be a good idea to start swapping stories so we know what we've got.

I'll go first: I'm Bucky Barnes, I'm seventeen, and I'm from Beacon Hills, California. I'm here as a warden, and my best friend Steve Rogers and I were trying to get a lacrosse league going here, which I'm pretty sure we're still up for doing if anyone's interested. It's not like the CES went anywhere, right?

Although I guess I'm gonna need to borrow a stick until my room gets back to normal. Or I guess if you're crashing in it, lemme know. There should be a lot of comics and stuff on the floor. [Don't judge, he was looking for something and didn't get around to tidying up before the flood hit.]

So, who do you think you're supposed to be?

I know.

It's the only way I'm gonna make it through this, I'm pretty sure.

[So, you know. Thanks.]

That's the only way you've made it through a couple things.

[Him too though, so at least we're even.]

Yeah... maybe more than a couple.

I don't think I'd tell anyone, if you weren't here to back me up.

[It's good to hear that, honestly. Well, you know, good and bad, because it's not like Bucky's thrilled about this in general, but, well. It's not like you really need him to physically fight off bullies anymore.

But that itself is kind of the issue here, because Bucky doesn't know how he can have his back if someone decides they do have a problem with the teenage werewolf. He's just a normal guy. He can't keep up, and he can't always fight back, and that's hard.

It still hasn't changed how this is going to go, though.]

Look, I meant what I said. You're my brother, Steve. I'm with you to the end of the line.

[The funny thing is, it never really mattered to Steve who was physically stronger. Okay, yeah, it made a difference, but Bucky hasn't suddenly become unimportant in his life just because he doesn't need help in a fistfight. Bucky could never not be important, and the only thing that's changed is Steve worrying that this whole werewolf thing is going to end up getting Bucky hurt, on his behalf. Or worse, by him.]

The end of the line's a long way off. I'm betting I'm gonna have to put up with you... pretty much forever, then.

[He looks grateful, for that. And hopeful.] 'Cause that's how long you're stuck with me. [And you should not try to get rid of a persistent werewolf. It clearly won't end well.] Got it?

[It's kind of easier than he expected to believe that, even if worry's still chewing away at his insides. He doubts it's going to be that simple, but considering other alternatives just. Sucks.]

Read you loud and clear, pal.

Awesome.

Besides, no one else would have put up with me this long. [Grin.] And I know no one else'd have put up with you. [Teeeeasing.]

Uh, excuse me, I'm the coolest person you know.

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

[Except, wait.] Although there is Captain America. Now I know him. [Kind of?]

Nah man, Stiles is way cooler.

[Sorry not sorry. c8]

You really want to start arguing about the number of people that are cooler than you?

[Teasingly implying the list is very long, here.]
