CRY ME A RIVER - open; sunhaven leader

[buckingham barnes]

If Onision, or Aloysius, was attempting to intimdate Buckingham, it wasn't going to work. Bucky remembered Onision was one of the members Bastilleprisoner told to leave along with Thea back when Bastilleprisoner was suppose to question Bucky. Onision didn't listen, much like Thea- they both disobeyed their leader, and when things got tense with the Asset, they both got involved when the Soldier was stopped by Monroe. If anything, it looked bad on Bastilleprisoner, when the two refused to leave, the former Astral Seraph didn't bother to command them again with a punishment. Bucky knew this one meant trouble too, he wasn't going to let them bother him.

When Moonmade made his way over, Bucky was hoping that the situation would be handled quickly. He was tired of Thea's manipulative, disrespectful attitude- she was making this far worse than it had to be. He was hoping to hear Moonmade shut her down, and give Bucky the apology he deserves to hear, but that didn't happen. Rather instead, Moonmade entered with insults, first at him getting upset with Thea and then processed to call him an 'aggressive little bitch'. Bucky was taken back at the words spewing out of Moonmade's mouth. He was appalled, shocked at the 'apology' they were receiving. Bucky assumed the 'aggressive little bitch' was directed at the Soldier, but the Soldier never would have made an appearance if Buckingham wasn't framed. He initially said no to Bastilleprisoner with his mental manipulation, insisted he could prove his innocence with questions. When they arrived for the questions, Bastilleprisoner brought up mental manipulation again, not even bothering to question Bucky like he was suppose to. Bucky felt like he had no choice but to say yes the second time. Bastilleprisoner made it clear that he didn't want to bother with questions, mental manipulation was the only way to clear his name. If Bastilleprisoner questioned him like they planned, that 'aggressive little bitch' never would have made an appearance.

He didn't even know what to say regarding to the part about 'solving' the problem. What Moonmade suggested sounded like killing him. Something funny about that, when Bucky was originally accused, Riza nearly killed him. If Monroe didn't stop Riza, he would have died. If he died under her paws, the whole murder situation would have been shoved under a rug. In their eyes, the problem would have been solved and Roy got the 'justice he deserved'. The Sunhaven Warden would have been remembered as a murderer(while that is true, he is a murderer, he just isn't Roy's murderer). Moonmade was suggesting practically the same thing- just kill Bucky, the falsely accused, and we won't have to deal with this problem anymore.

With each passing moment, the more anger gleamed in his eyes. Originally, he was upset at Thea. Now, he's feeling pissed at Moonmade- who is the Astral Seraph, who should be handling this with respect. Not acting like this is an entire joke. While Bucky appreciated Gabriel for taking the matter seriously, it didn't seem like Moonmade got the memo. Even after his clanmate tried to re-direct him in the right direction. Moonmade's attempt to save his ass was pitiful- the maine coon felt the frustration as Moonmade continued to disrespectfully address Monroe, who is suppose to be their ally. Even when he said Thea will be punished accordingly, and as well for Riza(who he doesn't even know the name of), it didn't make Bucky feel any better. If Moonmade just said that in the beginning, rather than insult him and half ass an apology, Bucky wouldn't be so livid.

Bucky knew that they weren't happy with the Asset- he wasn't happy about it either. If anything, it left him terrified- it's been months since he had an incident. He didn't want to hurt anyone, it left him in fear the Asset can take over again. He wanted to apologize, he nearly came here himself to do it. But oh the nickname, the nickname. Bucky knew that the Soldier thought Monroe was it's handler, he got the idea of that when he found out the Soldier stopped it's attack on Bastilleprisoner. If the Soldier decided that Monroe wasn't a handler, it would have continued it's attack. Pet robot sounded like Moonmade was indicating that Buckingham belonged to Monroe. Bucky isn't property, he doesn't belong to anyone despite what the Asset believes. The pet name Moonmade used made his metal claws dig into ground.

"Drop the alliance." The male said with all seriousness, light blue eyes meeting Marina's livid gaze- his nearly matched hers. "Time after time, we've been treated with disrespect when we tried to solve this problem. I'm nearly murdered, Bastilleprisoner insists I allow him into my head when he was suppose to question me. I originally told him no to mental manipulation for a reason. He didn't seem to care enough to listen. And now, with my name cleared, rather than receiving an expected apology- we get insults left and right, along with a half ass apology."

"This isn't even worth it anymore," He finished up with a lash of his tail, hoping he and Marina will leave relatively soon. He was pissed beyond belief, he wanted to get away from the Ascendants as quickly as he could. He'd only be willing to see Harland, his adopted brother, everyone else better leave him alone.
