Life on this island involves entirely too much hanging around.
Oh, I keep myself busy, as much as I can. The food people eat isn't catching itself; there's a few people that hunt, but there are enough people on the island to keep us at it.
But it's not the kind of hunting I'm used to filling my days. It's not the same amount of work, either. Busy, sure, but it's not the X-Men and the Avengers and my own business. I need to be doing something more than just bringing in the bacon, and fighting off a few rejects from one of Arcade's schemes just isn't going to cut it.
This, now. The job Bucky's given me, that's better. So far it's been more standing around, but someone's coming. Making noise, but if I had to guess I'd say he's making noise on purpose. Wants me to know he's coming.
That's fine. This ain't an ambush. I'm standing right in front of the bathysphere with my arms crossed. I want him to know I'm here... and this is where the trip stops.
