blankasfreshlyfallenMemory 2: Cake is the best reason to blow cover in a war zone. (Road to Reborn)
Transcript:
[It's Bucky's eighteenth birthday, and he's in the streets of a city in occupied Poland, 1943. There are armed German soldiers everywhere, and trained dogs, and military vehicles; he's on his way back to the inn where he's under cover with the rest of the Invaders. He comes in to Steve and Jim looking at paperwork on the table while Toro hovers nearby.]
Toro: ...so it's too late.
Bucky: What's too late? What's goin' on here?
[Toro looks horrified.]
Toro: Nothing. There's nothing going on.
[Bucky stares at him.]
Steve: Wait... did you say the Matron? How did you tell her to decorate the cake?
Toro, mortified: Steve! You're ruining it!
Bucky, starting to smile: A cake?
[Steve is all serious business now.]
Steve: Did you tell her Bucky's name?
Toro: Yeah. Of course.
Steve: Damn. Hit the deck!
[As he says it, the wall comes crashing in - and Master Man comes crashing in with it.]
Master Man: So... the verdammt Invaders... Right on our home front.
MM's lady friend: Yes, Master Man. It is truly a gift.
[Steve throws his shield and it clocks Master Man in the face. He goes down.]
Steve: The Matron isn't part of the resistance! She works for the Nazis!
[Toro looks absolutely beside himself. Bucky puts a hand on his shoulder.
Toro: I didn't know!
[Jim explodes into fire and takes to the air, and he and Steve start kicking ass and taking names. Toro and Bucky dive for cover behind an overturned table in the now-trashed room, and Bucky arms himself.]
Bucky: You gave up our cover to throw me a birthday party?
Toro: Not on purpose, but... yeah...
Bucky, grinning like an idiot as he stands up to return fire: What a pal.
What Bucky gets from this:
-Names! He has Steve's now.
-They were trying to fight the Nazis by sneaking in somewhere? Mention of a home front. Looking more and more like a war.
-Birthdays happen when you turn a year older. They involve cake.
-He has dumb friends.
-Who do dumb things to make him happy.
-And he loves them so much.
Effects:
-Speech patterns: Early canon here, still. Pretty slangy and casual.
-Interpersonal: One of his best, tbh. Someone he really likes doing something awesome for him, and Bucky not even caring about the reckless because a) he's Bucky and b) it made him so damn happy.
-Issues: Not even touched on. He's coming through memory number two completely unscathed, as well. We'll see how long this lasts. 8|a
