The team had been arguing for a while now, and getting nowhere. They'd narrowed Savage's location down to Italy in September of 1944, but couldn't get any farther than that. James thought he had a pretty good guess what Savage wanted - this was where HYDRA had most of their facilities, and the Red Skull would be the perfect ally to Savage.

The only people who would have any further intelligence about Savage's possible movements were the Allied or Axis forces. Neither were going to hand the information over to a bunch of strangers. Ray wanted to play dress up and march in, pretend to be an officer and demand the information. Sara wanted to go in at night and steal it. There were half a dozen other ideas floating around, and all of them were bad. Quite a few of them were likely to get them shot at.

Ray might be onto something, though. At least, if you turned your head and looked at the idea sideways. Trying to march in and claim to be an officer nobody in the camp had ever seen was asking for a swift visit from the MPs.

Marching in and claiming to be an officer everyone in the camp had seen was another matter.

James had been lurking by the doorway, as was his habit, rather than sitting around the table with the others. He hadn't been contributing, so he was able to slip out without inciting comment. Once in the hall, he strode toward the fabrication room. "Gideon. Do you have any footage or photos of me in uniform in this time period?"

"Of course, Mr. Barnes."

"Good. I need a copy made, and make sure it looks worn and used. Can you do that?"

"Certainly."

"Then do it." James strode into the fabrication area, where a uniform was already synthesizing. He paused, looking at it, and rubbed a hand over the scruff on his chin.

Five minutes later he strode back toward the main room. It felt odd to be back in this uniform. Gideon had even managed to make it smell right - which was to say, like blood and gunpowder and harsh lye soap. Even stranger was not feeling his hair brushing against his cheeks and neck. He hadn't had short hair since HYDRA took him, and he found he already missed it long.

This wasn't him, anymore. It felt like the ghost of Bucky Barnes was riding his shoulders, and the weight was pressing him down.

"...are we supposed to do, walk in and ask them nicely?" Sara was saying, her tone full of exasperation as she threw her hands up at Ray.

"That's exactly what we're gonna do." James rose his voice enough to cut through the babble. Everyone turned to look at him, and most of them did a wide-eyed double-take. He raised an eyebrow at them. "It's just a matter of the right person doing the asking."

Len figured Bucky might have seen some things, but he wasn't sure how much the other man had seen - or remembered after the head injury - so he hadn't seen much of a reason to tell him all about it.

But Bucky clearly did remember, and Len sighed faintly. "We told you we're a special ops team, right? You starting to realize why you haven't heard of us, and were reluctant to have you come hang around with us?"

Len snorted faintly. "The Red Skull is nothing compared to some of the things I've seen, babe." He began to move them in the direction of the hollow Bucky had pointed out. "They'll find us. They can fly over and we'll hear and see them. So all we have to do is hole up and wait. We don't have to worry about running into any HYDRA if we wait for them to come to us."

Len was pretty sure the cat was already out of the bag with respect to the powers and advanced technology his team came equipped with. Somehow they'd need to figure out how to stop that from changing the future.

He sighed as Bucky tried to push himself too much. He really hadn't changed at bit over the years, when it came right down to it.

"We'll just have to cuddle up and keep warm," he purred, catching Bucky by the elbow and trying to steer him over to the hollow. "Let me do the heavy lifting. You sit and try not to pass out."

Len smiled with true amusement at the question. He looked up at the sky, grinning, and then turned that expression on Bucky. "Oh, don't worry. He would never hurt you."

He turned and began to gather up branches, laying them over to disguise the hollow from casual view. When he was done, he bent and crawled inside with Bucky. "How're you doing?"

"Bumps and bruises." Len slipped his arm around Bucky. He knew he was probably making the other man uncomfortable, but he didn't actually care that much. One day, James wouldn't even remember this, and wouldn't be uncomfortable about being close to Len anyway.

He snuggled in closer. "You know, I like the cold usually, but this is a bit much even for me."

Date: 2016-06-10 08:36 pm (UTC)
coldlenny: (Lounging)
From: [personal profile] coldlenny
Though Len didn't really worry about these things much, it was still good that Bucky wasn't freaking out about being close. Being warm was more important, and it was key that Len keep Bucky safe. Little was more important than that.

"Oh, I'm sure," he murmured. "He might look like an attack dog, but trust me, he's a softy inside that armour."

He shifted to get comfortable on the hard ground, drawing Bucky against his shoulder, and laughed softly at the comment about fairies. "No, I don't care who knows, and I don't care about being arrested. But I'm not sure I understand your question. How does what work?"

coldlenny: (What)
From: [personal profile] coldlenny
Len might not be ashamed of who he was, but he didn't know a lot about how homosexuality was viewed in the forties. He wasn't surprised by Bucky's discomfort, but what he heard sounded completely different from what Bucky meant.

"You think I'm a prostitute?" he exclaimed, more baffled than offended.

Len blinked at Bucky for a few moments in utter incomprehension before he just resolved this strange terminology into something like 'top' and 'bottom' and decided to move on from there.

"First of all, you're the one who got curious, which is why you're in this conversation. But to answer your question - James and I trade off," he said finally, because he didn't give a fuck about keeping that a secret from James himself, and he wasn't about to get prissy about it. "We're both control freaks in different ways, so we switch it up. That help?"

[Just a reminder note to us when we're editing that we want to do an A/N on this chapter to give the readers some more information about how homosexual sex was in the 1940s.]

"Who's gonna arrest us out here in the woods?" Len pointed out with a smirk. "And who's gonna arrest us when two of our friends can set themselves on fire? Don't worry about our skins - we're not nearly as crazy as you think."

There was an urge to poke the bear, to ask Bucky if he had ever thought about trying it out. But even Len wasn't that cruel. Not right now, anyway. Maybe later, if he got bored enough.

But before he could decide to do it, he realized that the younger man was snoozing, head still tilted awkwardly back against the branch. Len drew him closer and Bucky curled against his chest, warm and protected.

Len kept his eyes on the skies through the criss-cross of branches, and hoped for the sight of wings or flame, or the rushing sound of the Atom's thrusters.

Mick snarled and pointed his gun at Rip. It charged up with a whine as he pointed it at their captain's head. "You're just fuckin' gonna abandon Snart and his pretty-boy? What if he's drowning right now?"

Mick glanced over at James when he came to stand beside him, and gave him a fierce grin of pleasure - all teeth. "For once we're on the same side, huh, pretty-boy?" he growled gleefully. "Let's go."

He turned his back on the rest of the team immediately, starting in the direction he judged to be downstream.

Mick rumbled a laugh at the sight. He loved it when James proved he wasn't stuck up.

He had picked up the gun, but hesitated at James' request. Thing was, it was obvious that Len would want James to have the gun. So he reversed it and offered the handle.

"You gonna jump?"
