Like Talia's quizzing him, Jason rattles off facts and figures, then adds, "And they made you that nifty arm, right?"
The line goes quiet, then dead. Jason waits, and sure enough, within minutes Bucky is climbing through his window. Jason's told him more than once he'd do great in Gotham with this kind of aversion to doors.
"They hurt Steve," Bucky says, instead of hi, sorry for breaking in or whatever.
He looks around Jason's apartment. The place is more armory than home, a bed and some books and enough weapons to cut at least a few heads off. Bucky's only been here once or twice, and as far as Jason remembers they didn't exactly bother to use the bed.
"Is he –" Jason asks. He knows the thing with Rogers and Bucky is kind of a mess, the way everything is kind of a mess.
"He will be," Bucky says, but he sounds less sure than Jason's ever seen him. He looks less cold-blooded killer with the kind of war stories that could make you shiver, more helpless kid with a sick heart.
"But in the meantime –" Jason says, and Bucky nods. "Grab your stuff," Bucky says. "We're taking them out."
So Jason puts aside his own revenge mission for someone else's. For a friend's. And when the smoke clears, when they're tired and bloody but fucking victorious, he finds that it was worth it.
But he doesn't ask Bucky to return the favor. He knows that he would, that if Jason told him he had clown problems in Gotham he'd be there – but for all that the Winter Soldier is deadly and swift, his friend is a good man. That's the last thing Gotham needs right now.
"Don't be a stranger," Bucky tells him before he goes. They're out on the balcony, sharing a cigarette and the end of a bottle of whiskey. Somewhere, Steve Rogers is okay again, which makes Jason feel a little better about the world. Gotham might have too many good men, but New York needs that one.
"And don't get hit with any passing crowbars, right?" Jason asks.
"Jesus," Bucky says. He shakes his head at Jason, takes a drink, then adds, "And maybe avoid getting blown up, too."
"Please," Jason says. "Like you can talk."
Bucky smirks at him. It's that kind of smirk that can make Jason get to his knees in about five seconds. He's going to miss that when he's off killing drug lords and fixing Gotham and shit. "I know I'm your hero and all," Bucky says, "But metal arms aren't as cool as they look."
Yeah, they are, Jason thinks, because he's been hit with that once or twice when they've sparred, and it's impressive as fuck, but what he says is, "We'll see how cool you are when I shove you off this balcony."
He doesn't, though. He lets Bucky press him up against the rails and kiss him fierce, all teeth and tongue, whiskey and smoke, and he tries not to think too much about the parts of it, buried beneath the sharp edges, that say be careful and maybe even I'll miss you.
"You sure you're gonna go with that helmet?" Bucky asks him, and Jason knows he means you sure you wanna do this at all? but he brushes him off. "I'm not taking fashion advice from the guy who wore a gas mask as his disguise."

Re: fill 2/2
:) I love that Talia got a mention!
I love these lines too:
"You're terrible," Bucky says. It's not no, Jason notices.
but for all that the Winter Soldier is deadly and swift, his friend is a good man. That's the last thing Gotham needs right now.
