[ Someone doesn't know they've been here before. This is all new, and more than a little unnerving, but being in another fight for survival isn't the part he doesn't understand. That, he can go along with.

There are other questions. ]

So the docs here fixed us all up when we arrived. Anyone happen to know how thorough they are?

[ Could be relevant later. Depends on where that damn book's gotten to, if it even exists in this world. Still a pretty significant risk to the team, if unaccounted for, so first thing's first.

And second things second. He straightens, pausing slightly like he's remembering how to go about this. ]

And, uh. My name's Bucky Barnes. Guessing some of you probably heard of me already.

[ Probably not in the best of lights, or that's what that suddenly grim look on his face seems to convey. He's seen the roster, after all. At least two people on there aren't likely to be his biggest fans. ]

Should I have heard of you?

[My, isn't that an interrogative tone? One that sounds like she expects an answer, immediately.]

To answer your question, they're very thorough. They managed to catch that I've got some cloned intestines and some genetic rewriting done.

[shapedthecentury]

I honestly don't know. Maybe. You're not missing out on much if you haven't.

[ If she hasn't, if she isn't one of the people the Winter Soldier has affected? That's probably a good thing, right? Service during the war aside. Steve was one thing. He came out of the whole deal a hero.

He's fine not having fame. Or his case, notoriety. Considering. ]

What if there's something wrong with you. Not weird, but...something that shouldn't be there.

[thedreamisdead]

[She grunts in reply. That just means she'll do some digging on her own later, Barnes.]

Then I would hope that they'd tell you about it before releasing you into the general population. It would be rather unethical otherwise, though I'll say that this group doesn't seem to be a bad assortment.

Do you expect something to be wrong with you?

[shapedthecentury]

There was. I wanted to get it fixed. Then I woke up here.

So I'm not sure where that's at, right now. And I'm not sure I should pitch in until I know for sure. For everyone's sake.

[thedreamisdead]

Then you should probably inform the doctors and get an expert opinion. 'For everyone's sake'.

Never trust the competence of strangers, even if it insults them.

[shapedthecentury]

Good advice.

[ Trust isn't something easily won these days, as it is. ]

Dr. Ry'kerr, right? I've heard they're the one to talk to.

[thedreamisdead]

If you're worried about mental issues, yes. I don't deal with her much.

[America has a history of avoiding psychologists.]

I'm told she's competent.

[shapedthecentury]

All due respect, ma'am. But I need a little more than competent.

[thedreamisdead]

Everything else is subjective. Like I said, I don't deal with her.

[shapedthecentury]

Fair enough.
