[Freddy looks at the picture on the phone for a really long time before giving the phone back to Steve.]
That picture wasn't supposed to go to you.

[He's gone from looking concerned but serious to looking pissed.]
Excuse me?
Excuse me?
[No Cap no don't look at him like that.]
That was for--Mr. White! He said his name was Jack!

Wait.
Who is this?
[He's pointing at the picture, now.]
Who is this?
[He's pointing at the picture, now.]
Some guy calling himself Jack who looks exactly like Bucky or Bucky calling himself Jack because I don't know??
[Some sharp detective work right there.]
[Some sharp detective work right there.]
[He's heard of Jack. Bucky met him, once.]
This isn't Bucky.
[Aw, crap. The jealousy in his face is starting to leach away]
This isn't Bucky.
[Aw, crap. The jealousy in his face is starting to leach away]
I'm...sorry for the uncharitable thoughts I had.
[THEY WERE REALLY UNCHARITABLE.]
[THEY WERE REALLY UNCHARITABLE.]
Uncharitable?
[He knows what the word means but now he's kind of curious because he's never seen Steve get that emotional about this sort of thing. HE'S SUCH A PRIVATE PERSON WHEN IT COMES TO THIS STUFF.]

[He's blushing]
I'm not proud of it, Freddy.
I'm not proud of it, Freddy.
I'm not....like that, you know.

[He takes a moment, a breath. He still thinks Bucky will leave him, any day of the week. Why not with someone like Freddy? A cop, smart, lets him swear and smoke, doesn't care about his lip or attitude.]
I owe you an apology.
I owe you an apology.
Yeah, me too. I mean I owe you an apology...it wasn't supposed to go to you...
[Wait a second, he waves his hands again.]
Not that I'd hide it from you if it was him you know I wouldn't do that no way.

[A nod, because now he feels like crap]
I mean it. I should have known better.
If you ever need anything, all right?
I mean it. I should have known better.
If you ever need anything, all right?
Alright.....
[Weird. No he's not gonna leave yet!] Is everything alright with you and him...?
[Weird. No he's not gonna leave yet!] Is everything alright with you and him...?
I think...I owe him an apology, too.
[He takes a deep breath. He hasn't been mean but he knows he's been distant.]
[He takes a deep breath. He hasn't been mean but he knows he's been distant.]
Hey it's natural, feeling the way you did...it's one thing to hear about it it's another when you've got pictures.
[He shrugs once and those freckled hands go right into his pockets.]
Even around here, you just don't get a hundred percent used to that stuff, the same faces. That shit.

I've never met anyone who has his face who wasn't...you know.
Bucky.
[Once he met future angry Bucky]
Bucky.
[Once he met future angry Bucky]
I seen a guy like Mr. White running around...a little shorter, with a mustache. Called himself Wolf or something. It happens.
[HE'S GONNA SMOKE STEEB.]
Does he talk a lot? I mean jokes or you know.... [How to explain staying in the closet to Steve Rogers.]
[HE'S GONNA SMOKE STEEB.]
Does he talk a lot? I mean jokes or you know.... [How to explain staying in the closet to Steve Rogers.]
He wants...it's not really a secret anymore. I mean people don't know, but he really wants...us to be open about it.
[Gosh this is hard.]
[Gosh this is hard.]
Buuuut....you're not ready for that?
[Puff puff. Boy can the kid relate.]
[Puff puff. Boy can the kid relate.]
Where I'm from, it's illegal.
[He huffs]
I know it's not anymore, but it's hard to stop thinking of it that way.

How come he doesn't think of it that way?

Amy.
[He rubs the back of his head]
Bucky's always been faster at getting things than me. Looking to the future.

Who's Amy?
[Gotta brush up on all these people in the City who have a presence on the network even though even Freddy thinks you just can't spend all your time on it (unless it's for porn).]
