Text messages between Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson

Today 1:34 PM

Sam: Bucky, what the hell

Bucky: What?

Sam: just opened the case
Sam: are these vibranium?

Bucky: wait, you didn't open it at all before now?

Sam: obviously not

Bucky: thought you had
Bucky: well, at any rate, nobody's going to be able to tear vibranium off

Sam: aren't the Wakandans pissed at us? especially you?
Sam: didn't we just get into a fight with them?

Bucky: well, they're pissed at me but they'd still go to my funeral if I died
Bucky: and they're not really pissed at you at all, Ayo made it clear that they see this as my fault

Sam: not sure if that makes me feel better or worse

Bucky: you have vibranium wings
Bucky: my advice is, feel better

Sam: thanks, Bucky
Sam: so helpful

Sarah: how concerned should I be about the case falling over?

Sam: why?

Bucky: not at all

Sam: Bucky, shut up. why?

Sarah: the boys knocked the case over and there was a lot of noise
Sarah: I don't want to open it up to check them in case there's something wrong and I make it worse

Bucky: Sam, calm down. they're vibranium, they're fine
Bucky: my arm broke my fall from 200 feet up when someone left me to jump out of a plane without a parachute

Sam: yeah, you looked really happy laying there

Bucky: it's not my arm's fault you left me to jump to my death, it did the best it could

Sarah: I'm sorry, I'm going to need some more information right now

Sam: he's being melodramatic

Bucky: you literally jumped out and left me there when we were too low for a parachute

Sam: would you have taken help?

Bucky: no, but I liked that jacket

Sam: fine, I'll buy you a new jacket if you shut up about it

Sarah: Sam, you left him to jump out of a plane from 200 feet up without a parachute?

Sam: okay, first, I didn't totally realize we were too low for a parachute - I haven't used them in so long that it didn't cross my mind
Sam: and second, he's a super soldier with a vibranium arm, he walked it off in about five minutes

Sarah: Sam!

Bucky: okay that's actually fair
Bucky: it also supports my point that vibranium can take a lot of abuse and your wings are fine

Sam: I hate you

Sarah: Sam, did you seriously leave him to jump out of a plane from 200 feet up?

Sam: I mean, technically, yes
Sam: but he's not a regular person, Sarah, he's a super soldier
Sam: it's like Steve except if Steve's shield was an arm

Sarah: Sam.

Sam: don't worry, he's fine
Sam: he didn't even really hesitate, apparently - just kind of ripped off his sleeve and jumped out
Sam: freaked Torres out a little

Sarah: Sam.

Sam: look, all I know is, there's only of us that could just walk off jumping out of a plane from 200 feet up, and it's not me

Sarah: you do know how this sounds, right?

Sam: I mean it does sound bad out of context

Sam: I hate you
