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.]

[ Jim nods. Sounds like a pretty acceptable compromise to him, and given the circumstances, it's not like he's in a place to demand much more. At least he's not threatening him so he'll take him to Victor anymore. ]

I had no intentions of following you to begin with. [ He gets to his feet— the file's at his desk after all, so they'll have to head there. ] But be careful. If not me, then— talk to someone else. Someone you trust. I'm sure they'd be willing to help you too.

[ Jim's first instinct is to argue that, but he fights the urge and just nods mutely. He knows there's no point, particularly when this man doesn't even know him. Instead he gestures ahead, then leads the way to his desk, where he can get the guy a copy of his file. ]

How do I tell Victor to contact you?

[ He didn't give Jim his name, after all. And he's guessing he won't want to either, not if he can help it. ]

We both do, actually.

[ Jim spends more time with him, around the guard mainly, but it's easy enough even for Victor to send him a message himself.

He sits down in front of his computer, turning on the screen and pulling up the files. ]
I'll get you copies. You got a drive on you or something?

[ Jim figured as much. It’d be pretty inconsistent to go to all these lengths to break into the guard and not have some way to take the information with him.

He takes the drive with a nod, connecting it with his computer and uploading a copy of the file he has on Pierce. ]


We’ll do that. [ Because no way in hell he’s letting Victor meet this guy alone. ]
