[ If only she knew Black Widow had given her essentially the same advice on her meeting Bucky. Too bad no one ever mentions reasons behind things to Rikki. ]
You did kinda ace taking the mid-battle PDA in stride. But you're different in so, so many ways than meeting AU grandma.
And, sure. I can do that. Probably for the best, anyway. But you know we're on the same team. I don't know how often those get thrown into close quarters together.

But I'm going to have to ask that you don't immediately approach Barnes. Maybe not for a while.
More for his sake.

[ The other one - ]
Not sure either. I'll talk to your team leader.
Really would like you to meet him. Barnes. Just not sure how he would react right now. He's been through a lot. Being here hasn't helped.

[ Based on every single thing she has heard about dagger, requesting something not to happen seemed like a good way to make it so. ]
It's only we're going to at least see each other at some point.
And is that really what he's going by?
no subject
Going by Barnes? I guess. Why?
[ He calls him Bucky, just very rarely around other people. ]
no subject
And it's just going to take some getting used to. Like imagine I kept calling some other guy Rogers to you.
no subject
I'd call him Jimmy but he'd really hate that.
[ if he remembered he hated that :( ]
What do you prefer to go by?
no subject
Just Rikki's fine. Not much point trying to get Nomad to stick with these files going around.
[ And, you know, no one here knowing the history of the name. ]
