bibbety and I will be more than happy to add in a prompt for you!
[i: Sparring partners; CLOSED to Ivar Ragnarsson]
[Bucky spends a lot of his time out in the abandoned city, even sleeping there some nights when the feel of people all around him becomes a bit too much to handle. He's doing better than he was when he arrived here, he's even spoken to Steve fairly courteously once, but he's got a long way to go and he still prefers to do it alone.
Which is why he's out in the city training himself, running between buildings, jumping and vaulting various debris fields, and occasionally testing his acrobatic skills with flips and kicks off one surface to catch hold of another. What he's not expecting, after jumping one particularly large gap between rooftops, is to land by a man on the ground.
At first he thinks it's someone hurt, until he recognises the man that fought him when he was recently arrived and remembers how he couldn't use his legs. It's pretty impressive that he got up this far, let alone out here to the abandoned city in the first place.]
You okay?
[He was just going to go, but maybe Ivar really is hurt and can't get down.]
[ii: Meals on wheels; CLOSED to Dick Grayson]
[There have been a couple of times while Bucky has been skulking around the city that he's seen the man he doused in yoghurt, still patrolling in that costume. He knows his name now, made sure to look it up based on the usernames and the apartment - Dick Grayson. Not that he plans on using it, he just likes to have all the information, it can be the difference between life and death.
But what he doesn't realise is that he's the one that's been spotted tonight by Dick, as he slips out into the abandoned city and turns into one of the nearby ruins. A sleeping bag and rucksack are already stashed there, along with a surprising array of weapons. He slides into his sleeping bag, sat up against the wall, completely unaware that he's not alone... for now.]
[iii: Magic and Mayhem; CLOSED to Stephen Strange]
[Bucky has very few things that he would count as personal possessions. His weapons, clothes, and sleeping bag were all just tools that could pass in and out of his ownership without him caring that much. Though he would never like to be unarmed, he could always find more weapons if he lost these.
But he had a book that was precious to him. Just a tattered little notebook which was a quarter full of news clippings of all the various Avengers, some information both bought and stolen from the Smithsonian gift shop, and several choppy paragraphs in his own handwriting. Notes on information he's found out, memories that have resurfaced, that sort of thing.
He's sitting on the rooftop of one of the buildings in the main city, riffling through the book, when a sudden gust of wind catches it and sends it out of his hands and over the side to land at either at the feet of, or directly on the head of, the poor unsuspecting person walking by.
Sorry, Stephen.]
[iv: Dance lessons; CLOSED to Ellie]
[The flower festival isn't exactly Bucky's natural habitat, but he keeps finding himself drawn to the dance lessons and performances in the various open park areas. He doesn't really remember dancing himself, it's definitely not something the Soldier has ever done even though he has the dexterity for it, but it feels familiar.
So even though spending so much time in the crowds goes against a lot of his instincts, Bucky keeps finding himself back in the throng.
It's where he is that morning, sat with his back against a tree to make it slightly harder to sneak up on him from behind, intently watching a couple perform an exhibition piece in the style of swing dancing. These are the ones he likes the best, the ones that feel the most oddly familiar, and he has an almost peaceful expression as he watches.]
[v: Running into you; CLOSED to Tony Stark]
[Bucky spends a lot of his time either hiding, skulking in the shadows, or moving at a carefully steady pace through crowds so as not to attract attention. But sometimes he just needs to blow off steam, sometimes he just needs to burn through the excess energy that the bastardised serum gives him.
Which is why he's running.
He's at least chosen a time when he doesn't think anyone else will be near the outskirts of the city, and he's running down side streets and back alleys rather than the main streets, but he is pushing himself all out. Running faster than a normal human could, vaulting trash cans and practically skidding around corners.
It's probably lucky he hasn't crashed into anyone before now...]
[vi: Festival Fun; CLOSED to Suigetsu Houzuki]
[This festival, much like the last festival, is a good place to gather free food. The stall vendors are often so busy that they don't notice a little something here or there going missing, and lots of people end up buying food that they can't finish and just abandon. Which is why one suspicious hobo type is now casually wandering the picnic area, stooping as if to tie his shoe every so often when he's really stealing leftovers.
Don't mind him...]
[vii: A serious talk; CLOSED to Clark Kent]
[See the comments for starter.]
[viii: Kites and trees; SEMI-OPEN to anyone plotted with on the CR meme]
[Bucky has spent most of the flower festival skirting the main events, on the fringes of the crowds, or watching from a distance. But some things keep drawing him in deeper, like leftovers at the picnic area, or dance contests, or the smell of food.
To anyone wandering, he can be found in the following places:
i) staring into the window of a bakery as if the pies on display have the answer to life.
ii) up a tree in the park, watching a dance demonstration like a skulking creeper
iii) flying a kite that he got pressured into buying, sitting on the grass in a relatively secluded area. If this kite accidentally drops and wraps around your character, more's the pity.]
[ix: Football; CLOSED to Jonathan Kent]
[Bucky doesn't look like someone who's in the park to play a nice game of football... for one, he doesn't actually have a football. He's also skulking under the trees, wearing a long hoodie and gloves despite the warm weather, and is looking around at everyone entering the park as if they might be a threat to him.
But he said he wanted to do this, so he's here.
Even after he got the message from Clark that said he had somewhere else to be that morning, he was sorry, but hopefully Bucky could still have fun with Jonathan. Which was why Bucky was skulking out of place, waiting for a kid and hoping that said kid brought a football with him. Or they might be kind of scuppered.]

no subject
[ Way to answer the question, Smallville. ]
no subject
[He doesn't bother to speed up at all, he know Clark can keep pace, but he does keep glaring at him.]
You told her about me.
no subject
I told her you knew the truth about me. I gave her a name to go with your face so she'd have something to call you. That's all.
[ She doesn't know about his arm or his superhuman strength and healing. ]
She'll keep you a secret.
no subject
[He doesn't know her, he doesn't trust her, but now she knows about him. She knows that he knows about Clark, that puts him on her radar, somewhere he doesn't want to be.]
Pointing me out to her only puts her in danger. You're an idiot.
no subject
[ Going somewhere dangerous or meeting someone dangerous is the first requirement of the job. ]
What's really bothering you?
no subject
[He's trying to be a ghost here, making an impression on nobody, but now he's automatically of interest to Lois because he knows who Clark is.]
Unless she's built like you, I could kill her. And I might, if she doesn't leave me alone.
no subject
[ If he thinks he's the only person going to be subject to questions from Lois, Bucky's in for a shock. ]
I don't think you will.
[ Not only because Clark would be in the way. Bucky hasn't done anything hurtful to anyone since Clark started listening in on him. If something had happened before that, he would have heard it too. ]
no subject
Maybe, but she knows I know about you, that's an immediate reason for her to seek me out. If I had just been another person in the street, it wouldn't have mattered.
[His voice snaps off, words becoming more of a growl.]
I'm trying to keep people safe, you made that harder, now leave me alone.
no subject
[ He folds his arms. Clark usually hovers when he's feeling frustrated, like now.
Bucky's done a lot of posturing about how dangerous he is. Clark believes him, having seen it firsthand, but he's no longer satisfied with a stopgap measure.
Bucky isn't a rat to be kept in a cage. ]
Tell us who you are. If we can help you, we will.
[ He doesn't specify a scenario where they can't. Clark can't see himself or Lois turning down knowing Bucky's story and wanting to change something. ]
no subject
[Sort of.
He's told Clark more than most, even if it was just a sentence or two about HYDRA and how long he had killed for them. Far from the whole story, but still a lot more than he's given to anyone else.]
And some things should never be talked about.
[He'd said that before, last time, but he really believes it.]
no subject
[ Clark sees him as more than the weapon he says he is. ]
Do you really believe you'll never be anything else?
no subject
As long as I don't hurt anyone else, that's enough.
[He really and truly means that. He would be content living a life on the streets, always running, in isolation, if he could just manage not to hurt anyone again.]
no subject
Let us help you. Think about it.
no subject
[He doesn't understand how they can help, beyond Clark diving in if he does actually try and hurt anyone.]
no subject
no subject
[Sadly, that's a legitimate concern for him.]
no subject
Then we'll find out together.
no subject
What about if I tell you the story and what I need is for you to leave me the hell alone afterwards? What if the best case scenario is keeping hidden and isolated?
no subject
Then we'll decide that together too.
no subject
[The muttered insult slips out before he even really knows what he's saying, shoulders tensing pretty quickly afterwards.]
no subject
I haven't heard that one before.
no subject
But he only really remembers it right then, the memory sparked by the words. He can see Steve, small and skinny and so full of determination that it practically burns. He knows he's probably never going to see him again, most men don't come back from the war and they're never going to let Steve enlist. He hugs his friend tight, the uniform slightly stiff with newness, and calls him a punk. He's called a jerk in return and that's how they express their friendship, because that's how it was acceptable back then.
He doesn't reply for too long, expression caught between wistful sorrow and fierce hope. It's only when he's sure that he's catalogued every sight, every sound, every smell from the new-- old-- new memory that he pulls himself back to the moment.]
Any chance you're going to give up on this?
no subject
What do you think?
[ Bucky's stuck with him. ]
no subject
If he refuses Clark, there's a good chance that he'll just show up again the next day, and the next day, and the next.]
Do you have to involve her?
[Does it have to be Clark and Lois?]
no subject
[ Lois isn't the type to walk away from someone who might need her help or someone who has a story for her.
They're dealing with a lot right now. He doesn't want to speak for her. ]
Or you could. It's your choice. She won't be afraid of you any more than I am.
[ Lois' fearlessness is one of the (many) reasons Clark is drawn to her. ]
