[in the middle of the night][phone call]

[punchedhitler]

[RING RING]

[orangetoughguy]

[Mutter mutter grumble. Wat is.]

Hello...?

[punchedhitler]

[Whispering]

Freddy? It's Steve Rogers.

[orangetoughguy]

Steve? What's up?

[It better be good because it's late and there's a bear next to him kind of gruffling and asking wat dat.]

[punchedhitler]

I'm sorry to call so late but Bucky has ears like a bat and he finally got to sleep.

[There's a really brief pause]

I kind of need...to ask for advice.

[orangetoughguy]

[Uh.....]

Gimme a second. [He's telling that bear to chill he'll be back aw that pawing is so cute he'll make it up to him...in the morning. Anyway some shuffling and Freddy's back.] What's going on?

[punchedhitler]

So...say someone shows up here and you know that in a few minutes, back home, he'll be dead.

Do you say something?

[orangetoughguy]

[Freddy says it almost too quickly like he's not even thinking.]

No. Don't say anything.

[punchedhitler]

[Steve, however, does pause]

I feel like I'm lying.

[orangetoughguy]

Lying about what? Has he asked you?

[punchedhitler]

No. He knows something's not right, though. And I keep...I mean I thought he was dead. I didn't catch him.

[He doesn't say it was my fault even though he feels it and and and.]

It just feels like a lie.

[orangetoughguy]

It is a lie, Steve. He's alive now, how can you tell a living guy that he's dead?

[He's not even the Bucky Freddy knows.]

[punchedhitler]

But he'll be dead just as soon as he gets back. Do I warn him? Can I change it?

[There's a pause]

He's my best friend, he always had my back.

[orangetoughguy]

[It's a hard question to ask but he's got to ask because Steve comes from that particular universe.]

Did you see a body?

[punchedhitler]

What?

[orangetoughguy]

Did you see his body, after the fall.

[punchedhitler]

There wasn't time to look.

[orangetoughguy]

Without a body he's an open case.

[punchedhitler]

No one could have survived that fall, Freddy.

[orangetoughguy]

Did you think you were gonna survive your crash?

[punchedhitler]

....no.

[This is very good logic.]

[orangetoughguy]

[That's why he's a cawp.]

There you go. Does he know what happened to you?

[punchedhitler]

[He'll never doubt that]

No.

[orangetoughguy]

Look if you're gonna tell'im you tell'im the truth, you don't know what happened after that fall.

[Cause he knows dat Steve dun'wanna lie.]

[punchedhitler]

But you don't think I should tell him.
