[It takes him a while, but Steve eventually gets to the station. He's done his best to follow the traffic laws. He's even stopped and got cash for bail. He also has a sharpie in his breast pocket, just in case he can get them out of there with nothing more than a few autographs. God. The things he does for Bucky.

And that's the thing, isn't it? It's for Bucky. Because as ready as he is to play the role of law abiding citizen and bail his friend out, Steve is also just as ready to break him out of there as well.

When he walks into the station he's got a polite smile on his face as he greets the desk clerk.]


"Hi there. I got a call from a friend. Something about a scuffle?"

[The scruffy looking one, she says. Yup, that's the one. He ducks his head and gives a bashful little smile.]

"Great, thanks. I appreciate it, ma'am."

[He gives her a little wink as he heads off. He doesn't look back, but he can feel her gaze still lingering. He lets himself shake off the feeling once he walks past the doors. It's just a few steps before Bucky's in sight and Steve lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding.]

"Hey, Buck."

[He turns the officers nearby and they stand up just a bit straighter. One officer tries to hold back a smile, while the other seems to be sizing Steve up. He takes a few minutes to talk to them, make casual conversation. It goes on a little longer than he'd like, but he finally manages to defrost the second officer. He offers to give a few autographs after bailing Bucky out, and that seems to appease them.

They step outside, and as Steve hears the sound of scurrying, he figures he'll have more than a few things to sign before they leave. When he finally turns back to Bucky, he shrugs his shoulders.]


"So, what was this about me hugging you? 'Cause so far, a bar fight doesn't seem very hug-worthy."

"Technically, you didn't call. You texted. But still a fair point."

[Steve looks him over a bit and lets out a small tsk. He can still see some blood on his temple, a bit on the lip, and probably dirt on his face as well. He doesn't look bad, but he definitely looks worse than normal.]

"Did you win?"

[He pulls a handkerchief from his back pocket with one hand, and gestures for Bucky to get closer. Sure, it's a little out dated, but it comes in handy at times. He can't wait for them to get home so he can get Bucky cleaned up.]

"You got some blood at on your face. C'mere. Anywhere hurt more than it should?"
americass: (Arguing)

[Steve goes quiet at that. Six? He takes a deep breath in through his nose, and hands Bucky the handkerchief. He has half a mind to go out there and start raising hell.

SIX?! If it were any other person that could be attempted murder! The only reason they're still alive, is because Bucky has enough self control for the both of them. The more Steve thinks about it, the more furious he becomes.

SIX.]


"You keep cleaning up. I'm going to go...have a chat with...someone."

[He can practically feel the thread his control is hanging off of snap. If he goes out there, he's raising hell. Bucky's going to have to be the one to bail him out. Maybe they should call Stark, or Pepper.]

[When people say 'it takes everything inside him to...' most of the time they don't understand, but not Steve. He's given everything inside him, and more, several times over, but when he hears Bucky call out to him...

He's back there, keeping the chopper from flying away, holding onto the railing for dear life. He can feel his muscles tear and heal, tear and heal as he tries to bring it down.

He's right back there again, except this time he's in the police station downtown and the chopper is his own anger. And Bucky?

He takes a deep breath, then turns around.]


"I can't just let them do this to ya. It's not right."

[Instead of leaving, though, he goes back and inspects Bucky's jaw. His body needing to do something.]

"What did they tell you? They pressin' charges? Do we need to get Pepper down here?"
americass: (Stoic elevator)

sorry for the delay! Work got crazy T-T

[He feels someone else nearby before he's even fully awake, but that takes a backseat as he takes stock of his body and injuries. He's used to waking up aching and stinging, but after the serum, it didn't happen as much. Sometimes, after big nasty fights, one's where even the Hulk gets tossed around, he wakes up and he still has injuries. It would be masochistic of him to say he kind of missed it, or that revels in the times when he can still the bruises and cuts the next day, but they wouldn't be wrong.

Now isn't one of those times. His body aches but his head feels like someone took out his brain, put it in a blender until smooth, then through the whole blender into the ocean during a storm. He's alive, and functioning, but he's not safe. And that needs to be dealt with.

He doesn't hear any other sounds, but he doesn't allow himself to listen for too long. He opens his eyes and straightens his head, and by the time the room stops spinning, his eyes land on the other presence in the room.

Bucky.

Some of the tension leaves his shoulders, as if his body recognizes safety, home. But that's not right. It nearly got him killed once before, letting his guard down once he saw Bucky's face. He subtly tests his restraints, but he's in no position to try anything yet.

He opens his mouth to speak, but his jaw hurts something fierce. He takes a little extra time to adjust before speaking.]


"Am I allowed water?"
