So I know it's only been two days, but anyone who's made it through two days of Basic so far - trust me. It could be worse. [He cocks a wry grin. Bucky's not the worst drill sergeant Steve's seen, and besides:] You could have asthma.
[Yeah, he's pretty sure he almost died at least ten times during Basic. And he got the much abbreviated version.
Anyway.]
If anyone's got any questions, or just wants to get in some extra practice with a different face, let me know. But, [he raises one finger,] I'm not your Drill Sergeant, and I'm not about to contradict anything he says just because you want to hear he's wrong - because he's not. [So just keep that in mind. Steve might be helping Bucky, but Bucky's in charge here.]
[PRIVATE TO MINDY MACREADY]
Hey. Just because I'm not your temporary warden anymore doesn't mean we need to ignore each other, right? Remember, I'm right down the hall if you need anything - whether it's a couch or a punching bag. [Literally or figuratively.
Still, he doesn't want to push. She doesn't seem like she'd respond well to that. He can only offer, she's got to take him up on it. So.] Otherwise... I'm sure I'll see you in the gym.
[PRIVATE TO VEX]
[He's seen Vex on the network, but they've never spoken. Now, though, it looks like that's going to have to change.] I guess I should introduce myself - I'm Captain Rogers. Or you can call me Steve. I admit, I don't know much about you - but I'd like to think I'm a pretty good listener.

no subject
[He definitely doesn't. If he turns off the wolf stuff, he's not even as good as he was as a human. All the running and the work is easy for him. He kind of enjoys it, actually: It's like being back at school and doing Coach's suicide runs.]
no subject
[Yeah, sorry buddy, you kind of look like you're having fun. Not that Steve blames you. He completely understands.]
no subject
[He can mock groan, but whatever, this is great for lacrosse.
....HE SHOULD MAKE THE LACROSSE TEAMS DO THIS.....]
Probably about as pleased as you are.
no subject
[Although honestly... he just seems kind of run down. Pleased, but run down. Which has Steve worried, but that's neither here nor there.
Although he's got to laugh and shrug a little helplessly.] Sure as hell beats my first time through Basic. And I got the abbreviated version.
no subject
[Scott....cannot begin to imagine doing this when he had asthma. And he was decently fit then, too, he just need his inhaler half the time at lacrosse practice.]
no subject
[Yeah, and definitely not because of his physical performance.
AND it's not actually something they have to talk about, particularly because he never did ask how much of his life Scott ended up living during that flood, or if it was any of it at all, really, but he does add, carefully, after a minute,]
You probably have some idea, though.
