( he knows damn well the room in the tower was given so tony could keep watch over jason--so he's not considering that a helping hand. it's more meeting in the middle: jason usually stays there, where tony can keep an eye on him. and tony loses real estate giving jason his space. but the gear on the other hand-- )
Back in New Amsterdam, I gave him a nice shiny space to do his work in, discreetly. Asked for an IOU in exchange. Never thought I'd cash it in while somewhere like this, but I'll take it.
Did we not establish that early on? 'cause I'm pretty sure our second meeting was you coming over for a fight after Damian lost an arm.
( when bucky was trying to give a speech about - what was it? how they'd all keep fighting or some shit. jason's fairly certain it was supposed to mean something, but it didn't. he figures it was bucky trying to help, somehow. )
Knew it could take a hit when I test drove it, but I wasn't planning on taking bullets like that--so. That IOU went miles further than I thought it would. ( handing over a warehouse to tony and stephen saved his ass all this time later. not that he'd give stark a compliment where he could hear it. )
I didn't say I was any better. [ Bucky likes to fight, even after losing an arm. He tries, but he is bad at helping. He's good at picking fights. ]
I am really good at losing arms, though. Stark helps with that. [ He even made a nice portable extra arm for him. Even though the Stark here doesn't remember that. ]
( he doesn't wait for an answer. the neural implants are still functional enough, so jason sends over a handy pin. saves it from being put anywhere anyone here can hack into, but still gives it to bucky without saying directions out loud. )

[ People are always coming and going from these multiversal nexus whatevers. ]
Say what you wanna about Stark, but he does good work.
[ With the machine stuff, he means. ]

( hand off the bike to raise it up and pat his palm against his sternum. )
Bruised and fucked up my ribs but didn't penetrate the suit.
( it's--a compliment. jason's gone through plenty of gear in his time, but fabric this light capable of preventing bullets is new. )
no subject
[ Of course he knows that. Maybe he can get Stark to design him a bulletproof neon sign. ]
But yeah, if it's anything like the suit he made for me, it can take a beating.

( might help with the losing them thing. )
no subject
[ He could probably try harder. ]
no subject
( how does one lose an arm. even a metal arm. )
no subject
[ Who eventually made him a backup he could carry around with him. ]
no subject
( if bucky's goal was to get jason to shut up about his arm loss problems, he's succeeded. this is the last time he's nagging bucky about it. )
no subject
[ Knew that would get him. ]
You still wanna race?
