INCOMING SIGNAL FROM ... @scldat SIGNAL DECODED ... don’t go / meme ... TRANSMISSION ACCEPTED !!
HE WOKE UP AS SOON AS SHE MOVED, she knows. she also knows that the chances of him having actually been asleep, even in a semi-conscious state, were slim to none. it was something else they had in common but didn’t dare speak of. her mind is already mapping the quickest route to take and with the shadows of dawn as extra cover, she knows she'll go undetected. her body is on autopilot as she reaches for her clothes, clothes that hours ago had been carelessly strewn about. however the almost whispered words sound as loud as gunfire in the small flat and they pierce her heart all the same. natasha feels the lumpy mattress dip as he shifts towards her. she imagines him reaching for her with his right hand, hair a mess and an almost pleading look upon his features. it would be like looking in a mirror. fingers tighten around the fabric of her trousers but the spy cannot bring herself to put them on. the determination that had flooded her moments ago was slowly seeping out of her in the same way blood blooms upon snow: slowly and then all at once.
❛ ya dolzhen poyti , ❜ she says, shoulders deflating, fabric slipping out of nimble fingers. natasha finally looks over her shoulder at him, a cascade of crimson partially obscuring half her face. a moment passes and in the next, she gracefully turns and moves towards him on all fours. even in the dimly lit flat she can see a glimmer of hope in his gaze. ( he stirs a feeling inside her that she had long forgotten about. a feeling she had once known in the midst of war and death. a feeling that fills the space within her chest and, in moments like this, makes her feel weightless. ) lips part and the foreign syllables that tumble past are only partially accented but are full of an intimacy only they understand. ❛ i wish we could stay here forever. ❜
A CONFESSION WHISPERED OUT, TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED. a confession brought to life. but she dares not get closer to him, staying just out of his gravitational pull, staying just far enough that his body heat cannot bring her back in. cannot entice her to find solace under the covers nor in the space between his ribs. but oh, how she longs to feel his skin against her own once more. she fights the longing because this game of hide and seek they play, they’re playing it with the devil. natasha is a hopeful and loving woman despite everything but even she knows that this winning streak of theirs cannot last forever. when they lose, they’ll lose everything.

There was a quirk of the brow — a subtle thing in comparison to emotion riddled words spilling freely from lips, however there was still a definitive weight to the expression. He waited a beat, two, hoping expecting a follow-up chuckle or a dismissal of words, yet the silence between the two men lingered. Tongue moved across the accumulating dryness of lips, and he leaned backwards, planting palms firmly on the damp grass; he reveled in the sensation of being in touch with nature. Any emerging hints of awkwardness dissolved as a smile fueled by bemusement blossomed demurely upon lips.
❝ I’d like to think it’s the soldier mentality which got hammered into our heads. ❞ Still unaware of the truthfulness or lack of behind his friend’s words, Steve felt a degree of genuine concern, but there was a peaceful happiness of spending time with the other man after all which transpired over the years. He did not wish to press solemnity into the matter. Blue hues tore away from the calm surface of the river at their front, moving across James’ face as he continued to speak.
❝ I hear there’s things for handling such. . emotions. All these new age things; I’m sure you know far more about it than I do. ❞ Bucky fit well into the modern world, at least Steve imagined it so, although waking up to an alarm for a regular nine-to-five was something his imagination could not grasp a hold of — even if an alarm clock was not actually required. Gaze moved away from the other man’s face, returning to watch the mesmerizing ripples across the river as fingers moved down to thread through the tall grass.
❝ What are you doing anyway which would require waking up promptly in the first place, Buck ? ❞

@scldat sent in an ask: “Where the fuck am I?”
As far as making friends on the timeline went, this was far from the standard method. Kidnapping didn’t exactly engender trust. Loki needed to find someone new, someone associated with the Avengers with whom he might have a little common ground, if only barely. Thor was off-world and seeking him out so early was a wound he feared opening. If his plans failed, he could reach out to the denizens of New Asgard. The less trouble he brought them, however, the better.
Barnes, another man out of time, once Winter Soldier, was a curiosity the god had unearthed on scoping out the current status. Given Loki’s history, he decided forcing an audience was the easier option.
Once he found the man alone, the god stole up silently behind him, opened a door with his TemPad and pushed Bucky through. He slipped through the portal, closing the door behind them, and made himself vanish.
A few seconds later, with Barnes’ question out in the open, Loki reappeared several yards ahead of him, clad in a black suit.
“Somewhere in Greenland,” he replied. “Several miles from civilisation.”

шифрование входящего трафика : ❝ I won’t judge you. ❞
there was such a look that passed across her features as she looked up from where she had been perched on the rooftop. "you're already judging me." her voice held something few heard. usually she was stoic and pretty down to buisness in everything she did. but there was almost a teasing lilt to her words. "you really think i can't make the jump." sure, he had his metal arm, but between the two of them she had always been the more agile of the two of them. "i would be insulted if i actually took you seriously." standing up, she hopped back from the ledge to stand next to him. "so when i make it and you have to eat your words, what then? what will you give me, james? because i demand reperation for the slander you've laid out this day." it was all dramatic, but when it was just the two of them... well, it was nice to let loose just a bit. a small smile curled her lips before it turned into an almost wolfish grin that was all teeth.
natasha hoped she was right, she wasn't getting any younger after all. holding out her hand to him, gloved fingers wiggled just a bit. "we got a bet?"

starter for @scldat cause i was dared to.
under the gleam of moonlight , he carefully strides through his chambers , normally his boots would create echoing booms throughout the hollow halls . he is quiet in his movements upon seeing the figure occupying his bed , unmoving . farfetched to believe it is actually peaceful in a bed that smells too much like the thunderer ? one could only hope , but he finds an easy stride towards the bed , shedding himself of the day’s clothes . the mattress gives way and shifts as his knees press into it , but james makes no movements to signal a disturbance . once close enough , thor slides in the space next to him but close enough that he’s nearly laying on top of the man . one arm hooks over his back and underneath an arm so the thunderer can bury his nose into long hair and neck . he knows he is heavy but james doesn’t seem to mind so much .

“ what are you doing here? it’s the middle of the night. ” @scldat
“ i think the better question is what are you doing awake when it’s the middle of the night? even super soldiers need their sleep. ” the quip back blatantly ignores the fact that clint is toeing off his shoes, and laying down on the couch with his head resting on bucky’s leg. a long sigh pushes out of him as he turns onto his side, his face pressed against bucky’s body as he breathes him in. comfort washes over him, his body finally relaxing before he turns his head enough to look up at the soldier, “ apartment was too empty. had a feeling you’d be up. ” which was given away by the fact that clint had been texting him a mere few moments ago.

@scldat: “ i’m fine. i can walk on my own. ” ( for Rumlow because you KNOW they need to meet again after Brock’s HYDRA infiltration)
‘ of course you can. ’ stubborn as always, but there’s probably some truth to it. neither of them have survived this long without having to yank themselves up & out of a firefight when they feel like they have nothing left. still, he doesn’t move & just offers his arm as a counterbalance for the other while he gets himself oriented. he’s lost track of how many times the world has gone to hell, & he won’t discount the small shards of comfort a familiar face offers. ‘ you look good. ’ anything looks better than the look he’d been wearing when Brock had first crossed paths with him, but the former STRIKE Commander is reasonably certain that can pass without actually being said. he kicks his feet off the desk & moves to stand, ignoring the way his body protests the movement so he can get a better look at the other. ‘ but I take it this ain’t a social call. what’s going on? ’

@scldat sent : We know it’s never simple ( for Sharon )
PROMPTS & MEMES / ALWAYS ACCEPTING
SHARON’S EYEBROWS QUIRK UPWARDS, looking as though she’s pondering the sentiment, before she inclines her head in passive concession. “Is it just me, or does that sound simultaneously like a fact and an excuse?” She asks the question blithely, casually, despite feeling neither blithe nor casual. This problem they’re trying to solve is a remnant of an old life, and Sharon cannot help but be incensed that she’s being roped into it yet again. There are parts of herself she’s had to abandon on American soil so she can survive in Madripoor, and apparently, saying no to people who need her help, regardless of whether or not they showed up for her in her time of need, is not one of them. “No matter how complicated it gets, it’s not like you’ll run away from it.” If she knows him at all, she knows this about him. And she knows it about herself. “You know there are ways to work around things that aren’t simple. It’s just a matter of creativity.”

“ nyet. not my problem.“ and russian accent accentuates the first word, a slight shake of her head. “no money, no need to stick my neck.” cruel, perhaps, but yelena knows her work. and she won’t help the soldier and the falcon just because they happen to find themselves where she is. “you think the red room would be involved in something like this?” super soldiers. why did it always return to that one piece of information? @scldat

‘ you should be in bed. ’ / @scldat : love starters
IT’S LATE. It’s of the hour where he’s not entirely sure whether it would qualify as EARLY MORNING yet or not, but either way? The world’s quiet and he can’t sleep, and he figures either way it doesn’t matter too much.
There’s a sort of timelessness to this hour —— to the quiet, to the soft light of the stars and moon high up in the sky filtering soft through blinds. There’s some strangeness to these days —— handing off the shield, stepping off the battlefield. There’s a lot’ve people out there who’d say he’d earned his retirement, but he’s found he finds it a hard thing to swallow. It’s still new; maybe he’ll find acceptance in it eventually, but right now? There’s still that itch in his fingers that there’s things out there to do and he’s not out there doing them.
“ You’re one to talk, ” he angles back, through it’s with the faintest pull of a wry smile, glancing back over his shoulder. He doesn’t argue it; he knows it well enough. “ What are you doing up, anyway? ”

@scldat sent: [ JOURNEY ] noticing the receiver has had a particularly rough day, sender invites them to accompany them on a walk or drive to get out of the house.
A walk through Central Park was rarely — well, never, if she had to be honest — her favourite way of relaxing after the most exhausting day, so she still wasn’t completely sure how exactly she’d let Bucky drag her outside when The Notebook was on tv. But one thing she got to hand to him — the warm hotdog in her hand made stress a lot more bearable than expected. It almost made the fight she’d had with her co-worker a memory of the past, and the fact that it was her father’s death anniversary something she wasn’t thinking about at all while he let Bucky told her about some adventure Sam had recently dragged him into. Leah was confident in saying that what could’ve been a sad night with a lot of tears, sad movies, and ice-cream had actually been saved by the former Winter Soldier next to her. Plus, sometimes it was nice to remember how pretty her city was at night, considering she rarely had the chance to experience it after work. The lights made the park a truly magical place. « I think I need another hot dog. Or maybe a waffle. » Pondering whether she was in the mood for some more salty or rather sweet food, a smirk crossed her features as she took Bucky’s arm. « But first we should go roller skating at the Wollman Rink. »

“ you thought i never noticed you, but i did. i always saw you. ” @scldat
the words warm his heart, leaving him in a rare state of speechless. it was one of those moments he couldn’t let his brain ruin. honestly, the idea of anyone holding on to a secret little crush over him was a bit mind boggling. to say he was, is, a mess is putting things a bit lightly if you ask him. most days he’s covering mental and physical pain with annoying questions and a nonsensical attitude.
other days ... he’s so weighed down by guilt and a low sense of self worth that he can’t be bothered to get out of bed. he was either zero or a hundred and no where in between. made him wonder why so many people put up with him. although he supposed most of those people yelled at him quite a bit as well so perhaps it merely evened itself out.
blue hues stare at the ground for a moment long, silent before he’s lifting his head and to meet the soldiers gaze. “ i just don’t understand why. ” there’s genuine confusion layering his tone. today was one of those days where he had withdrawn into himself. had tried to get bucky to leave but he was more stubborn than ever. “ i irritate you more often than not. and evidently, i’m a mess. as if you needed more to deal with on your plate. ”
