exorcising the ghost
who: Bucky and TOTALLY OPEN
what: Some spying, some clothes shopping, some rescuing
when: Throughout August
where: Quarantine
warnings: None. If any crop up, they'll go in the subject lines
[A: Open; sneaking around]
[Pierce might be gone, but that doesn't mean that Bucky feels like it's safe to relax. The man could easily have recruited, could have left planted spies and operatives behind, or files that could be very damaging in the wrong hands. He needs to make sure for himself that any of these people, or any of this information, is weeded out and dealt with appropriately.
Which is why if anyone is working in, or happens to be at, the hospital, any of the laboratories in the city, any buildings that deal with high level technology, or the perimeter guard; there's a late night visitor who definitely isn't authorised to be there. Sneaking through the hallways in black combat gear, obviously armed, and hacking into computer systems.]
[B: Open; shopping and rescuing]
[He's really trying to make an effort to get involved in life again, not just surviving. And part of that means coming into the city itself even if he hates it, making the skin between his shoulder blades itch as if a knife is coming right for him.
He's decided his first self appointed mission will be to get some new clothes, because the ones he has are falling off him from the weight he's lost hiding out for months, and have got threadbare besides. But he's also keeping an eye out for any trouble, and so if he notices anyone in danger from anything - speeding car, mugger, oddly strong breeze - he'll drop all his bags to intervene.]
[C: Closed to Tony Stark; memories]
[He's not sure whether Stark will still be willing to help him, after he blew up at him the last time and then literally disappeared for weeks on end to hide from Pierce. He's also not sure why he feels guilty, and it annoys him that he does. He's even got an apology gift tucked awkwardly under one arm, because he can vaguely remember his Ma telling him that this was the polite way to do things, and he already deeply regrets getting anything in the first place.
Too late now.
He forgoes knocking and slips into the lab, as long as he finds it open, and will take a perch on any of the nearby tables to wait for Stark to show up.]

( a )
But there's work to do and where there are duties and Peggy throws herself hard into work.
It's really why she's still at work so late. Assigned to handle the perimeter guard makes it easier to focus. She's internal affairs, these days, but she does reach for her gun when she watches him.
A moment passes and then another and she doesn't allow herself to relax even when recognition comes. ]
It's been a while.
no subject
How long has she been here?
Does Steve know?
Stupid question, of course Steve has to know, he's surprised that the big blond idiot isn't following along behind her like a puppy.]
I don't think you want to fire that at me.
[It's half warning and half statement.]
no subject
[ That you remember. She puts the gun away, from all she's heard, he's not wrong, it'll do no good and thank heavens, there is no need. ]
It's good to see you, Barnes.
no subject
I remember you.
[Sort of.]
I think it might be good to see you too.
no subject
[ Or else he wouldn't be here. The hour and the choice of wardrobe are telling enough. It's not that Peggy has never went about into places at odd hours of the night in a similar type of clothing. ]
You're looking for something. What is it?
no subject
Personnel files. Trading records. Out of house mission reports.
[So not much, just everything confidential.]
HYDRA were here, I need to be sure they didn't leave any pieces behind.
no subject
It's partly why she's so keen on this job in Internal Affairs, find bad seeds before they take roots, redeem herself of past-future mistakes. ]
Tell me. When.
no subject
[So she can see why he'd be just a little antsy about his presence here and what he might have left behind.]
He's gone, but I don't know if he recruited before that. So I need access.
no subject
[ She didn't like him. He knew who she was ( but of course she did ) which didn't strike her as odd; so many people did, after all. Still, Peggy never cared for the man who danced with her and discussed diplomacy like the best of them. Call it instinct, call it stubborn suspicion.
She nods ]
I'm going with you.
[ she doesn't need to give him access. He's strong and clever enough to get in and out without her. Still, she insists on tagging along. ]
no subject
[She has a measure of trust that most other people would have to work a long time to achieve; what few memories he has of her tells him that she always fought against HYDRA, and she has Steve's approval which also goes a long way.]
What happened when you met him?
[It makes him itch to think of all the people who Pierce has come into contact with, all the ways he could have spread his influence.]
