[valuedstrength]

Bucky's gone. No tricks or anything. He's just gone.

Comments

dictated; these two can have CR now

[bolder]

The Buckster left?

dictated; TOPH ;;

[valuedstrength]

Yeah. He did. [Steve laughs... it sounds pretty pathetic.] Nice nickname. Did he like it?

dictated; Cap ;;

[bolder]

He made about the same sound you did just now.

[spiritusaequitas]

Shit. ... Friend'a yours?

[valuedstrength]

Best friend. [And now he's dead back home. Steve can't even remember what he looks like.]

[whatialways_do]

[Max doesn't bother with the journal, because she knows from experience that words are words, and sometimes it's better to just have a person there.

So she'll track him down -- she's really good at that -- and will just plop down next to him, and give his shoulder a little nudge.]

[valuedstrength]

[He'll glance over at her. Steve's really not surprised she's here. He's grateful for it too.]

Hey. Did you want to do some more thinking?

[takethat]

Wait... Bucky is?

[...damn.]

[valuedstrength]

He is.

Steve ]

[huntersdaughter]

Where are you at. [It's not a question.]

Jo ]

[valuedstrength]

Room 2009. [Sitting in his best friend's empty room isn't depressing at all, right?]

[gevurah]

[ If she could, she'd say something. BRB Steve. :( ]

[valuedstrength]

[:( His feelings won't stop him from trying to find you, Kate!!11]

[modernholmes]

Is it related to the other disappearances?

[valuedstrength]

No.

Dictated - ;_;

[wizard_redfive]

[And Dairine's world screeches to a halt.]

No... [Horror and disbelief war in her chest. Let this be a lie. Please let this be a lie.

But this is Steve. Steve wouldn't lie, not about this.]

Dictated

[valuedstrength]

[Or ever. Steve is painfully honest. Also he feels your pain knowing the only time he'll get to see Bucky now is if he goes home to witness his death. Welp.]

I'm sorry, Dairine.

[heloise]

No, that cannot be. I just spoke to him.

[valuedstrength]

[A beat since he'd give anything for her to be right.] ... It's true. I'm in his room.

Dictated

[peeta_bread]

[Like many others, Peeta's world comes crashing down around him. He's immediately crying. He takes a big sniff, his voice cracking.]

S-Steve? Are you okay?

Dictated

[valuedstrength]

[Oh Peeta. He's crying so much on the inside because he can't outwardly now; not with Kate and all those other people missing. He has to be ready to help. He's clinging to that because he knows the next time he sees Bucky it will be to fail to save him.]

... No. What about you?

[compromisedarrow]

Steve...

[No "Captain", "Cap" or anything....]

You okay?

[valuedstrength]

I'll live.

[arealwoman]

Well, that's a shame.

[valuedstrength]

It is.
