         ❝I am g e t t i n g better at controlling it, not perfect but      better❞ the little witch muses a smile blooming on her lips as she looks at Scott. HE IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE HIMSELF, she has not forgotten how he made himself bigger, like a giant.    ❝I do not u n d e r s t a n d? v’hat is a pym particle?❞ she asks screwing her face up not recognizing the term.    ❝Does not matter v’hat z’hey are tied too, are still yours, z’he suit is yours yes? like z’he iron armor is starks, iron man is him and you are…..v’hat is your name?❞

       ❝ it’s probably hard so honestly, i’d just end up hitting myself in the face with something ? ❝ the smile he had invoked left him giving one of his own, rather glad to be pleasant company to the other so far. ❝ they’re--- particles. i’m more of an engineer than a scientist, you gotta ask hank pym for a better explanation. ❝ a small chuckle broke free at that, a hand coming up to run along his upper arm momentarily. ❝ i mean, if some baddie crashed through the ceiling right now, i’d probably just bite it, honestly. stark’s got all the rockets and assembling stuff going for him. ah--- ant-man. just scott is.. going to do, though. ❝

               “I’m more of a chaser than a chase-ee, if you get my drift,” she gave him a quick grin, putting the pencil in her fingers up behind her ear. “I let off an EMP once to shut off a guy’s phone so he couldn’t get my number. I passed out when I got home, but it was SO worth it.”

       ❝ drift--- sure, sister, whatever you say. ❝ a light nod, though his brows furrowed softly, not overly certain regarding his very own choice of words. ❝ an emp for a phone ? tell me you wrecked half the damn place’s electronics while you were at it, those things aren’t kind to just about anything. ❝

         bucky just kind of looked down at the floor when scott said SUPERHERO –that was the last thing he would consider himself. everyone else on the team, he could understand… but  BUCKY BARNES? no way. a small nod before he looked back up at scott. “ well… most of my life has been a ‘downer’ you could say. ” there was a sigh, bucky needed a way to change the topic. “ so…how’s that changing size thing work? i was a little concerned when you said you were going to tear yourself in half? ”

      he usually had few reasons to judge anyone, not having been a picture perfect citizen himself, even though he thought to have done the right thing. still, it had only made his life a whole new mess, something he was working eagerly on turning around. lips pursed as he gave a small nod of his own, then. ❝ tell me about it, man. i mean, you got your own shit but trust me, i had no walk in the park. ❝ the question he was met with was one he found difficult to answer, even with his scientific knowledge. ❝ pym particles do most of the work. they’re particles that get pumped through the suit to make me smaller--- or larger. it wasn’t that much of a biggie, honestly; i got through being sub-atomic so getting a bit bigger wasn’t all that bad. ❝

“Wow, you look even smaller in person. Maybe it was the whole growing thing before but I expected you to be taller.”

       ❝ well, you look a lot less heroic in person but i wasn’t gonna point that out either-- and now here we are. ❝

“ i don’t have a problem with that–i guess i should apologize seeing that i’m part of the reason you were dragged into all of this. ” if not he was the WHOLE reason steve’s friends were treated this way. at least that’s how bucky felt. ( like he was drowning in guilt. ) “ i’m not as much of a talker as i used to be. but i guess i’ve gotta start somewhere, huh. ”

    ❝ woah, no, if anything sam’s the one who called me up. plus, working with superheroes ? i won’t complain. an energy drink would’ve been nice, you know, you’ve got those big headquarters and all so that could have probably been a thing, but i won’t complain. ❝ if anything, he had come to accept that decisions had consequences and one could only go from the presence, lamenting the past did no good. ❝ it’s a start, man. just--- leave out the electrocuting bit next time, maybe. bit of a downer. ❝

           she listened to his story and it sounded FAMILIAR. stealing from the rich to give back? “isn’t that some sort of children’s tale?” she asked him. perhaps he recognized it. “–sounds like FUN, though. too bad it didn’t work out the way you wanted.”

   it did sound familiar and he did associate it almost immediately with robin hood-- and promptly feared that hank pym might be eavesdropping. ❝ he’s gonna put me in tights..., ❝ came a light, exasperated whisper before he perked up again. ❝ burgling the company because i found out they were cheating employees isn’t my idea of a fun friday night but there’s definitely worse. ❝

           ❛  how you holdin’ up over there, tictac ?  ❜

    ❝ had better days. though i guess that goes for all of us, huh ? ❝

}

    ❝ what’s so bad about being hit on ? might find some nice guys-- or some douchebags. there’s a lot of those, not gonna lie. ❝ one firm nod later and he found himself adding a shrug. ❝ ---not the wrong strategy for that, though. you got a point. ❝

        ❝It is not always so e a s y to control, sometimes               little z’hings like z’his           is easier but big things? sometimes i v’orry i’m going to lose control                 like in Lagos..❞ she shrugs as if it’s no big deal but the pain in her eyes betrays the little witch. Wanda watches Scott for a few moments.   ❝But you are i m p r e s s i v e , how do you get so tiny?.❞

     ❝ that’s kinda cool. bit freaky, not gonna lie, but mostly cool. ❝ after all, his powers were tied to a suit-- if you could thusly even call them powers. individuals like wanda were in another league entirely; the avengers as a total seemed a touch out of reach, frankly. nevertheless, he puffed up his cheeks momentarily, only to give a light, somewhat sheepish chuckle. ❝ pym particles, they’re implemented in the suit; i’m pretty regular without it, honestly. ❝

                                              ❝ oh yeah. ❝

          flashes of her short-time in prison came to mind, but instead she smiled, “that was the second time for you, yes? what happened the first time?”

    what bothered him about the momentary stay in prison yet another time ? that he had been redeeming himself, and taking steps back did nothing for that plan. a small shrug was thus given. ❝ yeah. oh, you know, the usual agenda; tried to steal my old scam company’s funds to give them back to the people they cheated. didn’t really work out perfectly. ❝

           “ have you not heard of the WINTER SOLDIER on the news? ” after d.c., his name was unfortunately EVERYWHERE. including his actual name. not to mention the un bombing made things way worse for him. it was kind of surprising how out of the loop scott seemed to be. they were all stuck in wakanda together, might as well try to get to know each other a little better now that the lot of them have the time on their hands.

    ❝ i stopped watching after the terrorist bit---- ❝ he began, giving a hum towards the end of his statement and pursing his lips momentarily and giving a light nod to cut himself off. of course hank had lectured him sufficiently before he had followed up on sam’s request, though he had to admit that lab tests and the such had taken their toll on his energy greatly as of late. ❝ do we have to have this conversation ? i’m all for bonding, man, just not over weird russian secret agents, y’know. ❝
