There anyone out there hearin' this? We got some major water problems in the apartments here!

I'm gonna grab as many people as I can, get 'em outta here. Is there anywhere I can get 'em to that ain't underwater?

Krok, Spinister, Bucky. That means you guys too! Chromia, you hear me?

Unless the humans they bring here start doin' it for 'em... I know we're not gonna be makin' any more of us while we're here.

... You ever find out anything more about that?

[heismymission]

[He frowns slightly as he recalls what he's found so far, his mouth a thin line.]

A few things. [He doesn't know how much of it is relevant to the more current situation.] Only four people who were at the center of it when it happened survived.

[arnhaid]

Four?

[That's... alarming. He was under the impression there were a lot more people involved here.]

This somethin' we should probably talk about when the weather ain't trying to drown us?

[heismymission]

[Bucky looks out, watching the rain.]

Up to you. [He doesn't know what good any of the information he has will do them in the long run, honestly--it's not like he can do much but fight, and even then, Burns being involved limits that.

In any case, there very well might be more people who need their help right now.]

[arnhaid]

We should probably wait. I don't wanna leave someone in trouble while we're here chattin'.

But I wanna know. Anything that might help.

[heismymission]

Right. I'll tell you what I know when we have time.

[So... off to help more people they go.]

[arnhaid]

Thanks, kid.

... for the info. And... for stickin' around.

[heismymission]

I'm not going anywhere.

[Maybe he doesn't know that for certain, but like hell he's going to entertain the possibility--especially not if it means leaving would cause his friends any distress.]

[arnhaid]

Good.

[He reaches over to rest a hand on Bucky's shoulder. The metal one.]

That's good to hear.
