[If there's one thing you never want to do, it's recruit Kaneda for anything that he didn't want to be a part of originally. Because getting teenagers to do ANYTHING you want them to never goes over well. In hindsight, the city should've known that. But being recruited for some military position? Doing a job (and an awful one at that, in Kaneda's opinion)? You might as well sign the release form now and let him get back on with his life.

But they didn't. Which...complicates things.

He doesn't leave a moment to cool off, flicking on the communication device to reveal a...very upset, very angry Kaneda.

Understandably. He already lost most of his life and friends. Two more just takes the proverbial cake. So the government might have to work a little bit to get Kaneda to cooperate, just a little.]

HEY! Anyone going to tell me what's going on without using crazy talk? Where my friends are? I don't exactly trust authority.

[They kind of fucked up his friend mega.]

And where's my freakin' bike?

[Ah, there's the teenage boy problems we all know and love. After all, why read the information when you can yell about it?]

[Okay he had to admit, Bucky could throw a mean punch. His Durability aside, he'd landed a few good ones--enough to have Kaneda rubbing at his ribs as he sits on the sidewalk, holding a swollen cheek in his hand.]

Not bad.

[His voice may be a little hoarse from the shouting.]

I almost considered you a challenge, you know.

[ Oh you fucking asshole. Bucky gives him a look, and it's a very decisive look. He's trying to decide how wounded his pride is and if he should string the kid up by his belt or let it go. He lets it go. His head hurts too much to try anyway.

His lip is busted and so is his nose he's pretty sure, and Bucky can't help but lick at his mouth to catch new blood. He hadn't been this busted up in awhile. It's nice, the rush and endorphin all coming together for a little while. ]

Wish I could say the same about you. [ Although his ability to keep getting up, yeah, it was impressive. He'll admit it. ] Think I need to set my nose...

[He's a little proud of that nose, to say the least, and it shows in his smile where...a tooth may or may not be a little chipped. It's short lived, as he utters a soft 'ow' and goes back to gripping his chest, that facade slowly fading way a little more.

Still, he can compliment.]

Hey, you make the Clowns back home look like a bunch of 8 year olds so...there's that, right?

[Ow.]

Let's call this one even.

Works for me, pal.

[ Bucky can't help but smile too, but goddamn does it hurt so he stops that really quick. ]

So what's your name again?

[ He was far too busy calling him racial slurs to actually find that out. ]

[He coughs, roughly trying to catch his breath. Although that in itself causes his ribs to hurt more, wincing slightly.]

Ngh. Kaneda. Name's Kaneda.

...

[A smirk.]

And you?

Ha! Your name is gold rice field? That is pretty great...

[ Okay on thing he does like about Japanese is the meanings behind proper names. They are always very poetic. Usually. ]

Just call me Bucky. And I think I need a drink, 'cause this? [ He gestures to all that is his messed up face. ] Needs to stop hurtin'.

Hey, it's got a nice ring to it, right? Something....I don't know.

Memorable. Like everyone wants to shout it.

[At least it's not 'mountain' or 'noodle' or something.]

Drink sounds good. You buyin'?

[He's joking, hoisting himself up to lend a hand to the other.]
