[Sorry Bucky, but Wanda's body is having trouble shaking off monster-grade tranquilizer and things are just getting weird.]

Do you think we need to worry about closet monsters on this planet?

[To say the message is unexpected is an understatement, but he's certainly not going to ignore it. Wanda had been kind to him when she had no reason for so being.]

Statistically speaking it's possible, but considering the lack of success in actually encountering any of the phenomena on this planet, it seems improbable.

[And, a few moments later:]

Why?

What about monsters under the bed?

I don't think Vision had a chance to check and I would look but my feet are wrong

[A few seconds later:]

So is my head

I personally think those are a little more likely, actually. But it doesn't mean you're in any danger.

How are your feet wrong?

[Better to focus on that than the head question, right?]

They're far and they're heavy

Oh.

Have an extra pillow?

I don't think I can fight a monster with a pillow

No, you dangle it over the edge of the bed as a decoy. See if the monster's even really there.

Wouldn't a blanket be easier?

No, too big. A pillow's easier to drop if it turns out the floor is actually lava. Blanket risks getting the fire into the bed.

something makes the floor lava????

wouldn't the bed be on fire already?

or would it just sink?

[There may or may not have been a small power-related incident between these sets of messages. There's no way of knowing.]

the floor is not lava

the bed is not sinking but the room won't stay still

If the floor was lava it would take care of the problem of something hiding under it. Just saying.

[Bucky, no.]

The bed isn't in gear still, is it? Parking brake is on?

[Bucky, no.]

[Sometime after the other Barnes' return, this one will find a brief text from Natasha on his comms. It's short and sweet. Probably not surprising—her attention's still mostly elsewhere.

But she hasn't forgotten this Barnes, and she doesn't miss a pang of concern.

There can't be two of them, can there?]

Status?

[Then, a moment later:]

You all right?

Edited 2019-04-22 02:00 (UTC)

[He's pretty sure he knows what prompted her to text him. What he doesn't know is why.]

Functional.

[It's good to have that confirmation. Worth rousing suspicions.]

Roger that.

Thanks.

[There's a hesitation as she considers if she should say more. She doesn't want to come on too strong, but the situation is complicated.

She doesn't want this Soldier to be lost in the shuffle.]

Thank you for asking.

[He's pretty sure it's what he's supposed to say, pretty sure it's a normal response.]

You're welcome.

[It is a normal response, and the fact he made the effort to go through the motion counts for something.

After another moment:]

You run into him yet?

Not in person.

Network?

Yes. Unencrypted.

[If she wants to look for it, he'll not stop her.]

[And she will, but later.]

How did it go?

Should it have been anything other than civil?

Not that I'm aware of.

[Both of them might be kinder to themselves when they're actually different people, honestly.]

It's fine. I'm fine.
