READY OR NOT | SUNHAVEN, BAST NEEDED

[buckingham barnes]

Without a doubt, Bucky was certainly a little tense regarding this whole situation. And the jabs the Ascendants members were throwing at him weren't helping either. Bucky knew that they weren't going to treat him nicely, there's so much tension in the air after all. Some of them were treating him like he already pledge guilty, Thea specifically. When she began to throw words back at his face, the maine coon didn't even notice Monroe reaching out for his shoulder. His metal claws were beginning to dig into the ground, and as the Helion's paw touched his shoulder, the maine coon flinched slightly, gaze quickly snapping towards Monroe. As his ice blue eyes landed on the shark-cat, his ears pricked as Monroe spoke, blinking a few times. Calm down, Barnes, He thought to himself as he let out a sigh, metal claws relaxing. He can't possibly risk loosing control- it hasn't happened in months. If he got lost to the Asset in a wave of anger and frustration, no one would possibly see it coming. It would be a disaster. He briefly nodded at Monroe's comment, thinking to himself one more time. You're in control, stay calm.

Bucky glanced momentarily towards Hazel, but unfortunately he didn't get to focus on her for too long. While he appreciated that she was trying to get her two obnoxious clanmates in order, the one they were all waiting for finally decided to show up.

As soon as the familiar tom entered the scene, his gaze locked on Bastilleprisoner. Their gazes met each other for a few short moments, just before Bastille focused onto Monroe. "So, you bringing me someone to hang or someone to question?" If Buckingham didn't want to be questioned he wouldn't have made his way over to the Ascendants. Bucky had to keep reminding himself to stay calm, don't take the dry, cold words to heart. "Unless your boy over here is frightened of answering questions, too." Bucky's trail of thought came to a stop the moment he heard those words. Ears still pinned to his skull, the former assassin decided to open his mouth. "The last time someone got into my head, I lost everything. Sorry that me being cautious is making this difficult for you." He said smoothly without a beat, not exactly getting into full detail on what he meant.

"I'll answer any question you'll throw at me," He meowed as his gaze didn't dare to leave Bastilleprisoner. Monroe was right- Bucky came here to prove himself. He'll be ready for whatever question gets him closer to his innocence. Even if that means he has to unwind his past. His bushy tail slowly began to swish, as he waited for questions to answer.
