[ 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. ]

Sometimes they can't find something wrong unless they know to actively look for it.

[Like hell squid possession, for instance.]

They have telepaths, if you're worried about something mental and hidden. We've had some teammates that were brainwashed or mentally reprogrammed in the past that got help for it from the telepaths.

And they have heavy duty scans for things that are physical.

And yeah I've heard of you. I'm from Robbie's world. We've got a version of you there. Never really crossed paths with the guy because my stomping grounds are up in space, but I heard he was alright.

Sounds like it, if he was fit to take over for Steve.

[ Himself? Yeah. He doesn't give himself that much credit. Maybe that Bucky didn't either. Who knows. It's not like he's gonna have a chance to have a sit-down with the guy and find out exactly what changed. ]

But they've got experience with people who went under reprogramming, you said? These telepaths.

Yeah. They're good. Apparently they've worked with the team for a long time and helped quite a few people out over the years.

Dr. Ry'kerr is the one to talk to for any head shrinking that needs to be done, but for anything that's a step past psychiatry and into damage to the mental architecture, she coordinates with the telepaths to have them help you out.

[He rewrites the next part three times before being satisfied with it.]

Had to get some cobwebs cleared out myself recently. Went through a Thing. I needed some help pulling the pieces back together. It wasn't a magic fix but it got me to a place where I could start doing the rest of the work myself.

[ Like with Robbie, even through text, he gets the impression that this guy Gets It. So he can be a little bit more forthright, without going into the gory details. ]

I'm not expecting a magic pill here.

I just need to know I can't be used against the rest of the team. If something goes wrong.

They can help with that. My thing was closer to demonic possession with some light reprogramming and memory wipes but we had a teammate who got their entire personality reprogrammed by a group of enemies we were facing.

I'm not at liberty to share more than that because it's their personal business. If they ever want to share the details with you, that's up to them.

But basically, they're good enough to clear out everything from minor damage to full-scale rewrites.

Good to know.

I'll talk to them. See if they can take care of this. Wouldn't be much good to the Legion, otherwise.

[ That's why he's here, after all. To be of use. In another war.

Never really ends, does it? ]

Wouldn't be much good to yourself, either.

Trust me, as someone who's had their brain hijacked more than once... if that's what's going on, you deserve better.

Not a whole lot better.

But there's really only so many ways you can beat yourself up about what's happened in the past. I'm more worried about making good, here and now.

That's a good way to approach it.

You can't undo the hurt. You can only prevent it from happening to more people.

That's the idea.

Honestly, for a while I thought just stepping out of the way was the best I could do. But these guys seem to think I can do more.

I guess we'll find out.

Sorry to jump in, but you mentioned mental and physical. Do you know if they have a means of dealing with mental programming that may have a supernatural component?
