Coulson.

long time no see.

<DIRECTOR_AC>

[vintageset]

Ward.

Heard you were here.

[DO YOU KNOW HOW SLOW TYPING WITH ONE HAND IS WHEN YOU ARE SO USED TO HAVING TWO?]

Re: <DIRECTOR_AC>

[ingrantitude]

Took me awhile to find out. I'd hoped people would be more forthcoming but what can you do?

How are you feeling?

[Changed yet? Urges yet?]

BRINGING HOME A STRAY.

[ingrantitude]

Coulson. Get Skye. I have the asset-

I have James Barnes with me. He's coming back to our house.

<DIRECTOR_AC>

[vintageset]

This should be interesting. Did you find him wandering the wilds?

Re: <DIRECTOR_AC>

[ingrantitude]

Bavan on the streets.

I brought him food. Rice and soup - HYDRA's conditioning means he probably won't be eating anything solid for awhile. He

I gave him some chocolate. He lookedl ike he needed some.

[there's a pause]

He has a lot of questions about steve rogers. I told him I was taking him to you so you could answer them.

<R1S1NGT1DE> Set between Bucky Retrieval and cooking log

[hacktivist084]

You said homemade was better

but how do you make this better. It's a chicken in water I think I messed something up already and I can't exactly google this

<DIRECTOR_AC>

[vintageset]

are you trying to cook?

wait, what are you doing?

<R1S1NGT1DE>

[hacktivist084]

We need broth for Bucky, and it'll be cheaper in the long run to do it this way, right?

It doesn't have feathers anymore? And there's water? Help me

<theasset>

[cryogenics]

Where are you?

<DIRECTOR_AC>

[vintageset]

[oh no, is this good or bad?]

At skye and the others house, where we talked. Is something wrong?

<theasset>

[cryogenics]

[Depended on what you counted as 'bad'.]

No. I want to talk. But not there.

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

[On the Saturday following Bucky's running off, Coulson will find a message on his device-]

where's red star?

<DIRECTOR_AC>

[vintageset]

hey kiddo. You're looking for RS?

<CCC-REDHORSE>

[soft_focus]

yes

missing

<theasset>

[cryogenics]

[Sometime after this.]

How old am I?

<DIRECTOR_AC>

[vintageset]

If I remember right? You should be around 98 now? Give or take. Physically, I'd say early thirties.

You're still young, you were just born in a older year then the rest of us.

<theasset>

[cryogenics]

[Maybe it had been a really bad idea to ask this over text. Or maybe it'd been really good, because no one could see his face, and he didn't have to worry about bottling up his emotions.

98. Ninety-eight. How many of those years had Hydra actively taken from him? How many of them had he been forced to kill for? How many had he slept for? How many people had he hurt over those years? He barely remembered anything yet, and it was just the tip of the iceberg. He didn't want to know, he didn't want to remember what he'd done.]

Thank you.

Post Monster.

[ingrantitude]

I don't want to be that thing.

[A monster.]

<DIRECTOR_AC>

[vintageset]

Are you asking for help?

Re: <DIRECTOR_AC>

[ingrantitude]

[You're going to make him say it aren't you Coulson.]

I don't know what it was, but I don't want to be that thing Coulson.

[He's quiet. Angry. Furious at himself.]

I don't want that kind of power.

PULLING YOU BACK.

[wolfintheherd]

Coulson you need to get your head out of your ass and come out from whereever you're hiding. Now.

HYDRA is here.

....and it's not ME for once.

[vintageset]

[It takes a bit for him to bother to see it, or reply. He's been missing. He's not been responding. He wouldn't respond at ALL to that first line. Especially that first line.]

[But the HYDRA part made him crack a bit. He shook his head and tried to convince himself to care. It took a bit longer. The changes this last time were bad. But he sent a text back. a bit later.]

explain.

<theasset>

[cryogenics]

I need to ask you a question.

<bearwithme>

[vintageset]

ask away
