Looks like there's shortcuts now. Good to know, and I'm sure it makes my horse a lot happier.

[Because carrying around this big solid man for weeks isn't a graze in the pasture. Steve's reached a new destination though, with the help of a fairy ring or two. There's a lot of hustle and bustle behind him, the background so different from the rest of this world that it's obvious where he is. The effect is a lot like when he crashed through a wall and into the new and improved(?) Times Square.]

I think we were supposed to leave cakes for the fairies, except I didn't have any. I don't have much at all right now.

[His brow furrows at that. His plain white t-shirt is easy to see, and a glimpse of soft blue pants isn't impossible either. Yeah, he's been travelling from the other Court in his pajamas.

But at least he still has his shield.]

My name is Steve Rogers. I come from Earth, and I grew up in Brooklyn. I joined the Army, and I've been in a war before, so I thought I knew what I was signing up for when I came here. What I've found are people on both sides who really don't wanna fight. So I don't care if you're Seelie or Unseelie, if you're out there and you need help, I'll do whatever I can to help.

[To the absolute delight of travelling best buddy, no doubt. Steve starts to close his locket, before thinking of one last small detail.]

Oh, and for anyone who's been to the Station before, do you know where they sell shoes?

[How does he even begin to explain Tony Stark?]

Smart guy. A little bit flashy. We didn't much get along at first.

[One time Steve almost punched him in the face. It was awesome.]

I was wrong about him. He really came through when we were fighting that army from outer space.

[falls]

[ word on the street is his beard is insured for $10,000 and he does car commercials in japan. ]

Oh, that's—

[ hahaha wait. ]

Army from outer space...?

[starspangled]

Yeah.

[He places his hands on his hips before taking a deep breath. Steve wasn't entirely used to the idea either.]

They were led by a guy called Loki. Some people say he's like a god. His brother Thor helped us beat him, but nothing says they're the only ones out there.

[Steve looks away for a moment. God he misses the days of punching Hitler.]

This sort of proves.

[falls]

[ bucky just kind of stares and blinks owlishly, unsure if he wants to fully believe that or not. but it's steve and steve's not prone to making up stories that wild without giving some sort of tell that he's bullshitting.

he, too, looks away, lips drawing into a frown. ]

Proves what?

...left out a word right there. proves IT.

[starspangled]

That we're not alone anymore. That nothing's impossible. Did you ever imagine we'd be fighting alongside fairies?

[Steve looks back at Bucky with an arched brow, forgetting his own question when he catches a glimpse of his curved down lips.]

Buck? Everything alright?

i got u, dude.

[falls]

Didn't imagine I'd see you this size or a fella rip his own face off. [ he shrugs one shoulder, glancing back to steve. ] This just seems like kid stuff.

[ minus the giant acid spitting worms or whatever and the cows that transport you all over the place, of course.

bucky smiles again, head tipped to the side. ]

As fine as it's gonna be in a place like this. [ he jerks his thumb over his shoulder. ] Come on. Let's to find a place to clean up.

[starspangled]

Best idea I've heard in weeks.

[Steve slaps his shoulder, gives it a squeeze and a silent promise that everything will be fine, worms and cows and all.]

I hope they have tubs and showers. I could use a good soak.
