I need the following things for an experiment into fighting off anomalies, and I am willing to trade:

- Springs or coils of metal that can be made into springs
- Screws
- Rubber bands
- Pipe plug or similar
- Lengths of piping

I have everything else I need.

[advanced]

I know what I'm doing.

[That's not exactly a 'no', though.]

[zunesareawesome]

Will this result in both of our untimely demises?

[advanced]

It won't put you in danger, I'm taking you to John and then I'll do this alone.

[zunesareawesome]

I didn't say I was afraid of danger, dude, I mean, if you need help, and a guy with a bum leg won't be too much of a burden...

...

I like shootin' things too.

[advanced]

I don't like you, why would I bring you with me when you're somewhere safe and with someone else who can stop you?

[Blunt, and not entirely true, Peter has some good spots among the annoying ones.]

[zunesareawesome]

Because...

[He really didn't have a good answer for that, but he's not at all bothered by Bucky not liking him. It was par for the course in his life.]

...you really think John can stop me? [That's incredulity there.] He's like all of 5 foot nothing!

[advanced]

He's a trained soldier.

[Being five foot nothing helped in being able to carry him like this, easier than Peter for sure, but it hadn't stopped him being a formidable opponent.]

I'd trust him to take me out if he had to.

[zunesareawesome]

Dude does not look like it, let me tell ya--

[A laugh.] More like someone's dad librarian.

[advanced]

One of the deadliest people I know is small and slender.

[Nobody would think Natasha Romanoff was that dangerous, after all.]

Maybe don't judge on looks.

[zunesareawesome]

Oh man, I don't judge on looks, just on guys who look like dad librarians. [A smirk.]

I grew up with aliens, dude. Sometimes you just don't know.

[advanced]

Maybe you should be more respectful to the guy that's gonna help put your leg back together properly.

[Seriously, quit ragging on John.]

[zunesareawesome]

Hey, man, it's when I'm being respectful people should be worried.

[Just sayin'.]

[advanced]

I'll remember that.

[He rolls his eyes.]

Now shut up, I've got some calls coming in, and some deals to make.

[zunesareawesome]

Ugh, jeez. Fine.

[He's quiet for a few minutes, at least, until he gets bored and starts humming, but he's listening to what's going on, and trying to read upside-down on Bucky's tablet.]
