[The first time this happened was bad enough, but a second time? He was getting very tired of being tossed around by these people. But he would have to do something about that later, right now he needed to check on Bucky. He... he was here, he remembered that. The person he was going to start searching for with Sam was in this city.

It didn't take him long to find Bucky (and Tony). And wow. Those two were definitely something special. They owed him a big explanation for this.

After he made sure that those idiots were getting some sort of rest, Steve decided to toss something up on the network. He definitely knew how to use it and he needed to address some of the people here. Best and fastest way was to do this.]

Just lost another three days here. [He tried to look easygoing about it, but there was definitely some irritation in his now more modern features. His hair was a little shorter and he was actually wearing jeans with a non-plaid shirt.] And looks like I missed a whole lot while I was gone.

[Tony explained what happened, the malfunctioning of the suit. The fight. It was a big mess, but at least they were going to recover. A lot of his irritation disappeared at the thought and now he looked grateful as he continued to address the video.]

But wanted to thank those that checked up on Bucky and Tony, made sure they were okay. I wasn't there to help when I should've been. [Maybe it wasn't his fault, but he still felt responsible. However, he tried to push away that guilt for now and instead smiled a little wryly at the feed.] They're friends of mine that get into more trouble than they should. Can't look away from them for two seconds before they come back bloodied and bruised.

[Although, Steve wasn't really better. Probably worse, actually. But details.]

And if anyone wants to tell me their side, be happy to hear it.

Hi, Steve! Did you go back home while you were asleep? You look kinda different.

[And then the part about Bucky comes up. Kit's gonna tell on you, James!]

Oh yeah. I met James while he was at Diarmuid's. We had spaghetti and pie, and then I said he could stay with me while you were gone, so we went back to my apartment for the night. But he left in middle of the night and didn't leave a note or anything! I was worried when I woke up, but then I found out he'd just gone back to you guys' apartment.

[She gives an annoyed little huff at that. Because he really couldn't take a minute to leave a note saying where he went? RUDE.]

Not quite, just suddenly disappeared. And a couple years have passed for me, needed a new haircut in that time.

[Sorta trying to adapt to the modern world. He's been doing somewhat well, technology wise at least. But for a long time, he still felt lost. However, he pushes those thoughts away when Kit tells him about Bucky.]

Thank you for watching over him. [And he is really grateful, although Steve is definitely going to give Bucky a hard time about leaving Kit behind without any note. Honestly, who does that. :| Some guy.]

That's very rude, gonna tell Bucky to at least leave a young lady a note next time.

A couple years?! But... how does that even work if you were only gone from here for a few days?

[The idea of time travel has never really occurred to her, OK? Though she could understand about the lost feeling sometimes. She just shrugs off the thanks though.]

He's my friend. That's what friends do. Besides he'd been in that fight and I figured having somebody to snuggle with at night would help him him heal faster.

[Not to mention it would help her sleep easier, but that was beside the point. Mostly.]

Well, good. He needs to learn not to worry his friends like that.

[And they've already seen how well he listens to her.]

Time travel of some sort. Not sure of the logistics of it myself, but it's the only explanation I can think of.

[He's honestly more worried about the erasure of his memories when he goes back, but he doesn't bring that up.]

He has a really bad habit of worrying his friends. [Steve's tone is light, even though Bucky does make him worry a lot.] Been on the end of it for a while now.

Huh... weird. But not any weirder than being brought to another world, I guess.

[She shrugs a bit. Diarmuid had told her about people losing their memories when they went home, and part of her wanted to ask about it, but not over the network. That would have to wait til some other time.]

You and him have been friends for a long time, right? Has he always been like that? Making people worry about him, I mean.

Friends since childhood. [Even though Bucky now is way different than before. But isn't he also different too? Guess that's just how things are now.]

And yes, always made me worry about him. [Not that Steve could really talk, he's probably even worse. But he's not gonna admit that out loud.]

[Kit nods, then looks thoughtful.]

That's good. I... don't really think he's used to people worrying about him any more, but he kinda needs it. And it might make him feel better to know that people do.

[Because who doesn't want to know that people care about them, right?]
