i. wandering

Tony was not having the best day. Waking up in strange places with no idea of how he'd gotten there might have been old hat, but opening his eyes to what looked like -- the hell, was that a dorm room? -- was a new one. He'd been in Vegas, he knew that. Was pretty sure there had been some sort of stupid award involved and that Rhodey would be turning up to bitch at him over it any second now.

Except Vegas was a lot of things, but it definitely did not look like this. Stumbling out of the building and into a completely unfamiliar place had not helped. He didn't have to be a genius to tell that he wasn't in Kansas anymore, but it helped. If this was a joke, it seriously wasn't funny, and if this was some sort of weird kidnapping then it was the dumbest one Tony had ever heard of.

He mostly found himself making his way cautiously through the streets, half trying to find anything familiar and half just trying to get his head together. And despite the obvious suspicion and wariness in his expression, his entire posture seemed lighter than usual. He stood straighter, held his head higher, and almost visibly seemed less tired for all that he hadn't actually changed at all.

And every so often, he found himself staring up at the sky with an expression of deep skepticism. "Okay seriously," he muttered, more to himself, "is this some kind of weird VR thing or what?"

ii. drinking

Once it had become clear that this was both not a trick and not somewhere he was going to be leaving any time soon, Tony had done the only natural thing and gone to find a drink. Or two. Or a dozen. If the choice was between the lack-of-privacy suite and the truly pathetic excuse for a workshop he'd stumbled across, Tony would very happily install himself in any of the bars he could find and stay there instead.

It wasn't calming, exactly, but it was at least something he knew how to handle. So he smiled and flirted and bought drinks at random. If he couldn't find a party, he started his own, spilling out across tables and corners. He was loud and obnoxious and if not drunk, then close to it. If you had to be stuck in some random-ass place, might as well make the best of it. Right? Right.

[ Just from the way Stark stumbled around, it was abundantly clear the man had lost some key memories. Loki keeps a mental tally of the affected individuals for his own safety. Still, it was fascinating, watching these people walk around, a shadow of their former selves. ]

Surely, the great Tony Stark would know if this is real or not.

[Bucky promised to keep out of Stark's way, and he's been keeping that promise, but that doesn't mean he hasn't been keeping an eye on the man. He's wary of the Avengers at the best of times and that means he wants to know their locations and plans, especially when they're all stuck together in a place like this, so it doesn't actually take long to notice something is off.

He watches for most of the afternoon, becoming more and more convinced that something is very wrong with Stark. Then he watches for another few hours, waiting for someone else to come and deal with it, but nobody really shows up. So eventually, when the other man ends up drinking far too much, he steps in.]


Sorry.

[It's the first word out of his mouth as he materialises next to Stark at the bar and tries to take the glass out of his hand.]

I know I promised to keep away, but this isn't right.

[ With all the confusion, Steve is feeling lost. He is out and about, looking for the direction he's lost, and he can't exactly miss the noise when he pokes into a bar to see if something strikes him as familiar. He doesn't find that, but he does notice the loud and rather messy man calling attention to one table. Steve walks over, putting a hand on Tony's shoulder to steady him as he gestures with a drink that Steve is honestly surprised hasn't spilled. ]

Tony? Are you all right?

You're drunk.

[ Steve sounds even more concerned by the realization and he doesn't remove his hand. Even against the smile that is almost unpleasantly bright, like Tony thinks he can scare him off by being aggressively cheerful, Steve stands his ground. ]

Did something happen? Are you sure you're all right?

[ He looks around the bar. Surely one of the other people from Tony's world are around to keep an eye on things. Maybe it really is a party and this Tony just happens to be more... flexible than his own about certain moral decisions. Steve doesn't like that thought, but he bites it back for the moment. ]

Right now I'm actually worried about you.

[ Cisco might not be Tony's best friend or anything, but he is, himself, a fairly friendly guy, and they had gotten on well, the first time they met. Cisco has messaged him a few times, since then - nothing very personal, just a heads up now and then, when he had an extra part he thought Tony might want, and once when he'd had a very specific engineering question that he wanted a second opinion on. Laying that groundwork, for a friendship that hasn't quite come around, yet.

So when Cisco is on his way in to his lab and he spots Tony (and gets a good enough look at him to be sure it's not one of his doppelgangers), he jogs to catch up to him. ]


Hey there, man of iron, how's it hanging?

[ Loki blinks as he tries to puzzle out that term with context. Inevitably, he gives up. ]

I have no idea what that is.

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-08-15 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Can you?

[ The tone of amusement is clear. ]

Considering you're stumbling around in the dark, I'd be surprised if you can help yourself.

[ Confusion washes over blue eyes as Steve searches Tony's expression for some sign of recognition, something he can hold onto and make sense of. The easy smile and smug demeanor puts him on edge, but he stays put, hoping, willing things to come together.

The lingering glance over his body does not go unnoticed. Steve winces. It's hard to tell whether he's more uncomfortable by the implications of that gaze or the knowledge that Tony doesn't really mean it. ]


Do you know who I am?
franciscoramon: (:) dishonest)

[personal profile] franciscoramon 2017-08-15 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It's Cisco!

[ He beams at Tony, waits for the smile and the just kidding. A second passes, and then a handful more. Nothing. It's definitely Tony, and definitely the version of him that Cisco had encountered before. But there's no recognition in his face. Which... okay, that's a little insulting, that he doesn't recognize him, but Cisco forges on: ]

You know, from Carnivale? Your obnoxious new engineer bud with all the questions about the suit?

[ That'll definitely jar his memory. ]

By now, Thor's anger about being here and being utterly confused has mostly subsided. He's not in a good mood by any means, but he's getting used to the idea that he can't stomp and shout his way out of here.

He has good faith that Heimdall will intervene, anyway. He obviously needs to be patient, and the best way to be patient is to drink his troubles away and bide his time in bars.

He's spend a considerable amount of time here, and Tony's boisterousness has caught his eye once or twice. There's a weird, niggling feeling he gets whenever he lays eyes on the man, but he's getting used to having that for many people here. Eventually, he gives in to the desire to be that drunk and that carefree, so he approaches and sets himself and his drink down next to Tony.

"You seem almost happy to be here."

[Well... that's definitely not right, and his instinct to get away is suddenly buzzing loudly at the base of his skull. Amnesia, people playing with the minds of others again, that's not good.

He almost bolts there and then, just to flee for the edge of the city to minimise the risk of getting himself caught in whatever madness this is, but obligation to Stark keeps him rooted. This presents a whole new set of issues, especially if Howard ever told his son about the Bucky he knew and if Stark starts to recognise him from there.]


Forget it.

[It seems he already has.]

Doesn't matter right now, just matters that you come with me.
advanced: (huh)

[personal profile] advanced 2017-08-15 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
What?

[It's a shame that Tony doesn't remember Bucky, because it'll fly over his head just how momentous a moment he's made happen. The usually stoic expression breaks into one of total surprise and confusion, because did Tony just say what he thought he did?!]

No. I'm taking you somewhere to sober up.

[personal profile] dothelokimotion 2017-08-15 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
No, actually. That would imply a certain amount of concern and other feelings I don't particularly subscribe.

[ Mostly he's here to point and laugh. And get popcorn, if he knew what that was. ]

Have you figured out the mystery to your missing memories or this location yet? I like to see a genius at work.
