AN: Bucky did not agree to this. Darcy planned it anyway.
This is Definitely Not Kansas
"Remind me again why I have to pretend to be made of more metal than I already am?"
"Because, Tin Man, this is a group costume, and you're the perfect fit for the character."
"Not Stark?"
"One, Stark is not my boyfriend; two, he and Pepper have a couple's costume, and I will be damned if we are breaking up that masterpiece of harmony!"
"I wouldn't call it – Alright, but if this is a group thing, don't we need other people?"
"We have other people."
"Who?"
"Well, I'm Dorothy, obviously, and you're the Tin Man, then Steve's the Cowardly Lion –"
"What? He's anything but a Cowardly Lion!"
"I know, that's why it's ironic, dummy."
"Ironic? Really?"
"Yep. Anyway – Steve's the Lion, and Clint is the Scarecrow."
"Why on earth is Clint the Scarecrow?"
"Because Lucky's being Toto! God, Barnes, Tin Man's problem was heart, not brains."
"You're right, such an obvious connection: terrier, one-eyed mixture of who knows wh- ow!"
"Stop being mean about Lucky. And stop pouting – we're gonna look so badass when we're all together! Totally gonna win Tony's stupid little trophy… Aw, c'mon Bucky, aren't you looking forward to this at least a little bit? Just think how cute Steve's gonna look as a lion!"
"… Well, that dress does look pretty amazing, doll. Judy Garland's got nothin' on you."
"Gosh Mr Barnes, that's awfully nice of you to say… Hey – no – lipstick – lipstick!"
"Can't a guy with no heart look for a little love from a gorgeous girl?"
"Not yet. Later, after we win. I promise… Oh! I also got Stephen Strange to agree to play the Wizard of Oz, but I don't know if he'll show up. If he does, we've won, hands down."
"He won't hop into a balloon and disappear without me if I ask him to go home, will he? Ow! My head's not actually made of metal, y'know!"
