you are to most people same as me but it's not like i feel old either
also pretty sure jinx won't care about asgardian standards if i had anything to bet, my guess is she won't even bother trying to say asgardian correctly the first time she does
Most people don't know I'm not human until I tell them. If you took your arm off, most people wouldn't suspect anything's odd about you either.
Maybe Jinx will take to me immediately. Maybe she'll want to *learn* Asgardian. I can't say I've ever been very skilled at optimism, but this seems like a good opportunity for practice.
[So this Barnes is trying to tease him? Interesting. There's something to be said for recovery, it seems.]
Or destroy half of midtown New York. I'll do my best to keep her from acquiring any stones or armies. Though honestly, I think it more likely have to tackle that with *your* inmate.
( he'd do it even if loki weren't recovered, but that's probably less relevant now that loki's a warden. )
wow was that really how quick that happened for you? how'd he rope you into that anyway? the reports aren't clear on what happened there, just the "and then the aliens attacked"
you know i had a staring contest with the guy first day? he fell asleep and nearly slammed his face into the ground it was great i think i'll be okay the ship is designed well enough to keep most things out of his reach
lol sorry that wasn't clear-- loki mostly knew ws!bucky who was not this personable, hence recovery
i think what most don't realize is compromise is always involved even at the end of your rope, if you're giving up, you're accepting to do whatever the will you to i only became what hydra wanted because i let them
yeah, shocking, isn't it? i think it was more out of bullheadedness than relaxation though takes one to know one still not as bad as steve though never anyone as bad as steve
don't be sorry! just figured that context would help lol. bucky being a real boy is still new to him
Do you really believe that? That you were somehow going to overpower that kind of control? It's not as if you had some kind of mental training to resist it. And you're human.
[Not meant to be insulting, but it still might be.]
Steve was stubborn, you mean? He did insist on being a bit of a martyr, on the Barge, now that you mention it.
( even if loki means it as insulting, bucky seems quite unfazed by his response. )
not inherently. there was hope for a while that i might be found. it had happened before, by chance, so i thought. it was stupid, but. anyway, steve didn't come the second time, so i let them have me because i had nothing else left.
yeah he's always been like that it's hard to convince him otherwise he does it with good intentions, not always with the best results
I imagine that's how he ended up getting demoted, on the last ship. It had something to do with rebelling against the system. Which he was probably right to do, but it appears he didn't have a very good plan. Or enough allies.

well they would if i wore short sleeves
which i don't but i get your point
as someone who regularly practices optimism and then chooses to disregard it
this is probably the worst time to practice it, pal

I only have to keep an eye on her for a month, after all.
no subject
no rooting for itthis may come as a surprise but even best friends can be amused at similar circumstances
( steve is a better sport about it too. but maybe that's just cause he's more used to it. )
a lot can happen in a monthan alien overlord can show up and two days later wipe out half the population of the universe
for example

A bit of torture and mind control.
Not that I wasn't somewhat complicit. I did want the power I was promised.
He fell asleep with you in the room?
He sounds far more relaxed than most of them.
oh sorry mb
