This is ridiculous.

People get lost in South Brooklyn all the time but I don't. So here's the deal. Team, you respond to this as fast as you can and I'll pretend that you guys didn't abandon me in the middle of an invasion. Anyone else? Don't bother with directions. I don't need directions. Either my team will find me or I'll find them.

Or else.

Also, I don't know what the accosting was, but I'm going to pretend it didn't happen. Whatever is going on in this place is giving me a headache. Dog tags. Really.

....so what am I missing?

[deadthenred]

I was probably all old and grumbly and wrinkled, right? Shit.

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

You're not old.

[deadthenred]

I'm eighty-five.

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

In a theoretical sense.

I mean you don't look wrinkled when I know you. Which, apparently, isn't yet.

[deadthenred]

I don't even want to hear about that chump.

And you still haven't explained about Jeff.

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

What do you want to know about him? I've never met him.

[deadthenred]

I mean, what happened to him, if you're-- aw hell, I dunno if I want to know that either. Cripes, real straight thinking I'm doing here.

But you're carrying on after him, right? Is that what you're doing?

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

After my grandfather, actually.

[deadthenred]

Who's he?

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

Isaiah Bradley.

[deadthenred]

Never heard of him, sorry, even if I guess I like to talk to him sometimes. Was he the Patriot after Jeff?

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

No. He was the first Captain America.

[deadthenred]

Yeah? Then why don't you run around calling yourself Captain America, then?

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

Because when I got asked to join this team there was already a Captain America.

[deadthenred]

Uh-huh.

And he wasn't, just for the record.

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

I'm not having this argument.

I'm Eli.

[deadthenred]

Yeah, 'cause I'd win.

I'd give you my name, but that'd just be redundant, wouldn't it? Gee whiz.

Eli.

He's from 1942.

I'm pretty damn sure that he doesn't know.

It's not our Bucky. There are people here from all sorts of different times and realities and dimensions.

You really might have to explain things to him.

[a pause.]

There's aspirin in the bathroom.

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

Is there anyone else I should know is here that I may know but probably won't know me?

[private; encrypted]

[lilac-scented.livejournal.com]

No problem.

He's the only one I can think of. If there's any more, I'll let you know. Deal?

[private; encrypted]

[righttodissent.livejournal.com]

Deal.
