Lab Beneath Stark Industries, Sunday Afternoon

The War Machine armor had taken a significant enough hit in a fight that Rhodey wasn't able to patch it up on his own. Which was annoying on a few levels for Tony. One, that Rhodey could have gotten hurt. Another that Tony should have been there to help him.

Tony made a face, rereading the assessment of the damage for a third time before starting to get some tools together.

"JARVIS, has the lab in East Village been touched?"

"No, sir. Shall I inform Lieutenant colonel Rhodes of your plan?"

Tony grinned up at the ceiling. "You know me so well, sweetheart. Tell him I'll be there within the hour. Help him shake any tails if you'd be so kind."

[Expecting one, but open before!]

"Usually I get that from dames."

The joke was half-hearted and mild, but at least he was unbuttoning the shirt and shrugging it off.

"Please don't."

He found a chair to slump down in. It just –- it just seemed like a good time to be sitting down.

He wasn't shaking, or anything. He just had that feeling, that post-adrenaline feeling that made it seem like he needed to take a breath and be still for a second.

Bucky himself wasn't looking at the wounds too closely. His arm ached. He was ignoring it.

"Sorry," he drawled. "I'll have to try and treat you more like a lady some other time."
shapethecentury: ([pos] sorta happy for ya)

He was doing an okay job at ignoring it!

Which meant he only hissed and grimaced a little.

"Think I've changed my mind," he said, also only gritting his teeth a little. "Think you might be to expensive a date for me."
shapethecentury: ([neg] nuh uh)

Bucky shrugged, though he did so with only one shoulder. Not the one attached to the cut arm, either. "Can do popcorn at the movies."

Bucky wouldn't have been able to say he was surprised by Tony's casual ability to patch up wounds. Not after everything that had happened.

He gave a quiet snort, and shook his head while looking down. "Well, at least she didn't go for my face."
shapethecentury: ([neu] sure okay)

Bucky looked down at his arm.

If only he knew about the things that would happen to it in the future.

"Guess it could've been worse," he said, looking back up. "You deal with that sorta thing often?"
shapethecentury: ([neg] god u r a punk)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-09 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Almost?"

Yes. Had to question that. No judgment, though.
shapethecentury: ([neu] sure okay)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-09 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh."

Well, Bucky wasn't about to challenge him on that point – he knew he couldn't know one way or the other, for one thing. So he left it at that, a noise of acknowledgement.

And prodded gingerly at the dressing on his arm, before looking up again.

"Can I put the shirt back on now, nurse?"

"... Doesn't the island have a place that does that?" Bucky asked as he reached for his shirt.

He still had a little while of acting like a normal person left ahead of him.
shapethecentury: ([neu] sure okay)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-09 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'm not you, Mr. Stark." The shirt went back on. Yeah, sure, the sleeve had drying blood on it, but he wasn't going to walk around shirtless right now, either. (Sorry, ladies.) "But thanks."
shapethecentury: ([neu] mind my business)

[personal profile] shapethecentury 2016-10-09 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"You don't have to," Bucky replied, but he still stopped buttoning his shirt for now.

Look, the blood wasn't his idea of a good time.
