[buckingham barnes]

At times, Bucky considers himself to be quite lucky he wasn't 'blessed' with the ability of shapeshifting. Despite it being such a common ability, the whole idea of it weirded him out. He didn't want his bones to shift, or to turn into some animal that just isn't him. The Helion knew he would panic if his body suddenly shifted, as he wouldn't know how to change back! He can only hope that he doesn't have the ability, shivers run down his spine just at the thought he might have an underdeveloped power of shapeshifting. The maine coon was heading out in the territory, when his ears pricked up at a neigh echoing through the territory. Woah, there's a horse? Sounds more like a foal to him!

Just as he began to head in the direction of the noise, a furious, menacing roar caused his ears to run flat. That was a bear, no doubt about it! And it sounded pissed, was it going after the foal? Bucky can try to fight the bear off, even if it kills him in the process! The maine coon began to run, tracing the noise all the way to the ravine.

When he came skidding to a stop, a familiar scent invaded his nostrils. August! Where's August, there's a bear he shouldn't be near here- and then it hit him. August's the foal! He thought to himself, taking Clarence's attempts to distract the bear to his advantage. Not another thought running through his mind, he carefully, but quickly, went down to the bottom of the muddy ravine. "Come on, I'll get you out of here," The former assassin said to the Hearthkeeper, before he attempted to nudge August towards the slippery slope, where he'd attempt to pull to the top. It'll probably be difficult, but it's better than staying down here with a hungry, feral bear.
