[ No one's ever said "it's nice" about New Jersey. ]
Nah, it's not far. [ And it isn't. Just a few blocks, in a big garage. Bucky's tastes are old-fashioned, so when he saw a '47 Indian fixed up nice, he bought it. He had one not too different back home, until he wrecked in a fight with Batroc the Leaper and a helicopter along I-278.]
( jason says new jersey is nice. but his standards also suck, and gotham is a trash heap that he loves despite knowing how trashy it is. he follows beside bucky just past the edge of the sidewalk. )
Pulled an old friend from back home over to Newark, too. Rayner.
( maybe he's taken kyle out on occasion, because kyle is a sad sack of shit who just stays inside doing his depressed poor artist routine. but he's a fun ruiner and a shit stirrer and jason's not inviting that out when he and bucky can do just fine without a space power ranger backing them up. )
Just figured I'd give you a warning first, so you don't shoot holes into my safehouse.
Went from shooing away my mom's dealers, to stealing shit to get by, to wearing hot pants and telling Two-Face he's got shit taste. Didn't really think about the future much aside from trying to make it there.

Your adopted dad's loaded, though, right? You never thought about using that money to get out?
( because clearly, running around in a cape forever is a great way to live. )
I liked school. Might've used those straight A's for something down the line. Gotten into a decent college, ( but now he is thinking about it, which is shit. he doesn't want to consider what could have been when it won't be. ) picked up a degree in social work, maybe. Gotham could use more of B's money poured in it's supportive social programs, too. Foster care, substance use recovery centers--shit like that.
I've stolen from him before. [ It's not the worst plan. Then again, Bucky is bad at planning.] And that was when he had the full backing of the military-industrial complex. [ And was head of S.H.I.E.L.D. ]

My bike is parked a couple blocks away.

[ He never really thought about college, but he might have if he'd survived the war and the G.I. Bill. He'll never know. ]
I never really thought about what went into it, though. Lookin' to the end of the war⦠that felt like bad luck.
