“Please,” His rocky covered arms raised slightly in a non-threateningly way as he slowly muttered, “I’m not gonna hurt yous, alright?” His gritty voice shot back. “Just trying to mind my own business.”

Dog Days - Open Starter

The day that had been forecast as sunny was instead cloaked by torrential rain. Bucky was making his way back from work and was still thirty blocks away from his apartment. He was drenched to the skin, and the sleeves of his Henley were sticking in the metal plates of his arm, so if anyone bothered to look he could be arrested within the hour. Also, his dog was shivering, which made him irrationally grumpy anyway.

He'd found the husky on the corner of his street on a day not unlike this one. He'd tried to walk past her, but she was the only living thing for weeks to come over to him, and once he found she was missing a leg, he couldn't leave her to rot. Now, he was admittedly attached.

Rooting around in his pocket found he didn’t have enough for a taxi, which was hardly surprising. He ventured into a Starbucks and sat down at an outdoor table with his dog, trying to shield her with the table’s umbrella. Water dripped down his baseball cap, and he knew he looked a sorry sight. Perhaps that was why the stranger came up to him. Bucky glanced upwards and then quickly away again.

"If you work here," he said, "I'll move on in a minute. It's just my... My dog is getting soaked."

“– I could’ve sworn I’d locked that door.” Matt laughed softly, resting up against the still swinging punching bag for a moment. “Apparently, I either completely forgot - or just did an awful job of it. Not sure which is best.”

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like it’s unbearable, but what the hell happened to the music here? Oh, I think I’ve found myself a cheerleader... Really?”

“Damn. I leave for two minutes, and the city’s already gone to shit.”

“That’ll be $3.45,” the cashier said, and Eli nodded. His hand went to his pocket for his wallet, and he froze.

Fuck. Fuck. He had to be the only superhero in New York who could get his pocket picked without realizing it.

“Uh,” he stared at the cashier like a deer caught in the headlights.

This kinda thing probably never happened to Iron Man.

“And stay out of this neighborhood, alright! If I catch you causin’ trouble again, there won’t be any mercy.”

“I swear I can explain what I am doing here. Pinky swear. That’s how you know I’m serious.”

With the Avengers disbanded ( officially ) and trouble seemingly resting ( for now ), it left Steve with free time -- and there wasn’t much else he hated above free time. Most mornings and nights ended here: with him beating a punching bag until his fists hurt and his breath was short. Most mornings and nights, the gym was empty, and no one cared enough to bother him. Today didn’t belong in the category of most mornings and nights. He heard footsteps echo in the room, but he didn’t glance up from the bag as he spoke to the newcomer.

“ -- Did you want a go at it?”

“Was that supposed to impress me?”

“...Now how does this work again?”

“It’s nothing, really.” Sharon brushes off their concern easily. “Two minutes with a first aid kit and I’ll be fine.”

It was difficult to earn a few dollars when a militaristic Task Force was patrolling the streets, but Jasper was nothing if not a daring man. He strummed his guitar, smiling at the individuals passing by and tipping his head in thanks when they left a small tip in his hat. “I don’t exactly do requests, but I guarantee I can improvise something on the spot -- so long as there’s no mentions of giant metallic Sentinels.”
