[The food has stopped. He’s sure that everyone in the hotel has noticed it by now, and he’s sure that everyone’s worried about it. He’s seated on the bed of his room (111, if he hasn’t told you).]

I don’t know how many of you have heard of the Great Depression, or rationing during World War II. Maybe those things didn’t even happen on your world. But I promised I wouldn’t give any history lessons, so I’ll just say that they were some pretty tough times, and I’m sure we’ve all been through some.

I’ve talked to people before about helping your neighbors where you can. In the spirit of that, I have some food I wanted to offer to anyone who needs it. I have a bagel and a grapefruit. The skin’s not wrinkly or anything. I also have six-

[Steve stops speaking abruptly, forehead furrowed as he counts the colorful plastic eggs beside him - the ones that there are definitely not six of.]

Bucky.

[Somewhere offscreen, Bucky glowers at him, extremely uncooperative. ]

You have three to give away.

I had six. [He points it out firmly. He knows what he’s doing and why, but Steve can miss a few meals these days.] You can keep one of them, but only if you eat it yourself.

You're going to live on stale hotel air alone? You're not a plant.

[Bucky doesn't intend to keep it for himself, and he's got a stash of his own he's saving for them both, together with Skye and Fitz. Also maybe Raven.

He crosses over and looks evenly into the video feed. ]

Come if you are starving. If you have other intentions, I will kill you where you stand. [Steve might have noble intentions -- others don't. Starvation makes beasts out of many, and the Winter Soldier protects his own. ]

[Steve moves quickly, ending the feed before Bucky can do any more damage. But not before the beginnings of his protest can be heard.]

Bucky, you can’t just-

[The first part of this is open video with Ward - you guys have seen that guy right? the one who's actually looking like he might be sort of crazy but also sporting a mighty beard? Yeah. That guy.]

I've been inspired. [By steve rogers. It doesn't matter who you are in Marvel, what your orientation is, if you don't love Captain America - you're wrong in so many ways. And honestly only the red skull wouldn't be inspired by Captain America. He just stirs feelings.]

Consequently I have a basket - [It's bright blue and quite a bit of candy is sticking out of it.] Up for trade. Chocolate on average lasts for four to six months. I'm hoping to trade for protein of any sort. Failing that, if you need it come and get it. In pieces. First person to actually bring me something protein related gets the whole shebang.

[he doesn't honestly expect it but look, Cap. He's helping.]

[private to Kara;]

I don't expect anyone to buy this. If you have food stored we need to split it between our rooms. Try and maintain your cover as long as you can but I'm reaching out to SHIELD on this.

[He hesitates] We'll be all right. I'm going to keep you safe.

[private communications to: Skye, Fitz, Coulson, "may" (aka Kara), Cal, Steve Rogers, Haymitch, Tim Drake, and Helen.]

I've got 2 ripe bananas, an orange, and two strips of bacon. It's overcooked but protein's key. [he's so damn serious]

If you want it, come and get it. Just tell me where to meet you.
