you got in the family way early? that's not great, buddy. but it seems like it agreed with you? well, a little. you're disturbingly well-adjusted for a dad.
[ don't ask bucky about him and dads, men back then were a headache and a half in every way. ]
so you're saying i should just go for it? worst thing that can happen is they say no, right? or go to the press, i guess, but it's not like it's worse than anything i've already done.
i don't it'd be good for anyone if they start out with me, though. in case you've noticed, i'm not the most stable guy.
i fucked up quite a bit but all in all somehow Cass turned out amazing she's always been my inspiration to do better and be better but also maybe a little of my inspiration to not be so great it's a hard balance being a dad is rough
[Yeah, he doesn't have the best relationship with his own dad so he gets that. He tried to be better than his own, that's all anyone can ever do.]
eh if you're close enough that you're gonna be telling people you like them they ought not to be going to the press that being said sometimes people are dickholes but that might be the universe just working out if that happened one of those 'dodged a bullet there' moments
and hey you ain't stable for sure but you're working on it that's all anyone can asked in this fucked up world
[wait did that just happen? Really, really?]
yeah, i dunno if i'm the best teacher but i'd be willing to help a friend out anytime i'm always willing to be a good wingman~
cool cool give me like twenty to freshen and then i'll head out? hopefully they don't mind a baby showing up [Cause Scott has lived a hard life, but in different ways. He's got a history but most of it has been separating people from their money and possessions. He's not sure that's cool enough to be hanging around ex-KGB and assassins. But he's gonna show up anyway because of who he is as a person.
Plus he was invited.]
see you soon
[it takes maybe about forty for Scott to get out of the house and over to the address. When he shows up he very much looks a little out of place but fuck it, he doesn't care. When he offers the instructed way in the man at the front looks like he doesn't believe the other but because of its specific nature he lets Scott through. But watches him the whole time cause he may look just the slightest bit out of place. But he's always had that air and energy about him that just lets him absorb into different situations and people. Its a vibe that Scott has, and always had. When he spots the other he saves himself from frantically waving and gives a more appropriate head bob before sliding in next to the other by the bar.]
Looks like a nice place, but I couldn't find any Yelp reviews so I'll have to take your word on it.

Yeah, they don't do Yelp reviews, it's that kinda place.
[ you know, keeps off the radar, deletes any reviews about the venue, practically impossible to tag on social media. he can't even be mad that lang took longer than twenty minutes; the place is designed to be difficult to spot off the street. the exclusivity is often the draw for the non-aware, the general public. for those who are aware, well - it's a nice facsimile of normal. the drinks are priced the same as any club in the city, at the very least, and there's a no-indoor-smoking policy because that's the kind of world they live in now.
it's not too late into the evening that the club is deafening, but it's late enough that there's a crowd for the DJ to work with, and the music is some sort of electropop shit laced with italian industrial that's almost too much if the crowd was sober. luckily, almost no one is, present company excepted. bucky looks lang over and nods appreciatively, then flags his favorite bartender for— ]
Hey, what do you drink? I'm buying. You look good, by the way.
Uh, just start me off with a beer. Something local if they have it. [Funnily enough Scott isn't much of a drinker, never has been. But he can get, well, wild with the harder stuff and he's not sure what kind of evening this is yet. It's been hard to tell with the other so easier to play it safe and simple.
He slides in beside the other nodding at a couple of the people passing glances. He wasn't expecting this admittedly when he first got given the address and a bit of the history but it feels pretty normal admittedly and Scott likes that, and can get the appeal. Scott gets being part of the fringe; it's not easy. Every little bit of normal helps.
Ge bobs to the music, enjoying the beat.]
Hey thanks! I only wear the finest of black t-shirts and tight jeans. [He quips before receiving his pour of beer and ushering a quiet thank you to the bar tender.] It's the only thing to wear if you're looking to score free drinks. Cheers man. [He holds out his pint glass towards the other.]

[ but since we're on the topic of bad ideas: ]
you could teach me how to ask.
no subject
somehow
Cass turned out amazing
she's always been my inspiration to do better and be better
but also maybe a little of my inspiration to not be so great
it's a hard balance
being a dad is rough
[Yeah, he doesn't have the best relationship with his own dad so he gets that. He tried to be better than his own, that's all anyone can ever do.]

no subject
[ so, okay, not the best way to do relationships at all, but a guy can appreciate the simplicity of things, right? yes? no? okay. ]
okay, we're going to a club.
are you free now?
i sorry i am slower than a lifetime movie death, i am still stupid ass sick
[And ten times more complicated, but hey that's why Scott is offering to be a friend in this time of need.]
fuck ya!
you have a spot or you want me to find something?
what're you in the mood for dancing or moody drinking?
i mean same, almost broke my back recently
very secure, very weapons-aware.
they don't mind former assassins hanging out.
[ bucky sends the address over. it's run by a former KGB spy that he still gets along with. ]
if they ask for a password just tell 'em a friend of dom's invited you.
oh fuuuuuuuck you alright? that hella sucks and your back aint nothin to play with
cool cool give me like twenty to freshen and then i'll head out?
hopefully they don't mind a baby showing up
