Oh look at that, that's a lot more like you.

Don't worry, not interested.

[paragon]

[ still red. ]

Yeah, 'cause I was gonna lose sleep over that.

[ shakes his head ]

[biggerstick]

Let's not go there, I get enough of that from Barnes.

[paragon]

Go where— never mind.

[biggerstick]

Anyway. If you want me to get you drunk I'm gonna need a blood sample and I don't know? A week?

[sneezes again]

... a week and a half.

[paragon]

[ . . . unsure ]

You couldn't do it without that?

[biggerstick]

I can do some guess work and extrapolate from that. It'd take longer, I don't actually have much info on the serum you got, and by much I mean any at all.

[paragon]

Might be better that way. It doesn't end well when people try to figure out the serum.

[biggerstick]

Jesus, Rogers, if I wanted a super-soldier I'd have one.

[paragon]

[ rolls his eyes ]

I didn't mean it like that, just wouldn't want anyone else to get their hands on it.

[biggerstick]

I am feeling incredibly underestimated right now. I'm not sure I can take this much rejection on the same week.

[paragon]

You'll live. Think of it as me having enough faith in you to do it without the sample.

[biggerstick]

If we were being logical— which you're not, obviously and I might not be because I may or may not be running a fever. Figuring out how to get you drunk without a sample will tell me more about whatever you were given than if I got a sample.

Not that I mind, I like keeping busy.

[paragon]

[ slightly distracted as he starts patching up Bucky Bear ]

I don't mind. Just don't tell anyone what you find out.

[biggerstick]

You are seriously hurting my feelings.

[he doesn't sound hurt, just vaguely annoyed]

[paragon]

Don't see why. Though we never did go that round.

[biggerstick]

We could do it now.

[paragon]

Ha.

[biggerstick]

I mean it, I got the suit. We could go outside and find a clearing.

[paragon]

Oh, I got that you mean it, but it's not happening until you're not sick.

[biggerstick]

I'm not sick.

[paragon]

. . . you trying to convince me or yourself? 'Cause I guarantee I've been sick more times than you so you're not gonna get that one over on me.

[biggerstick]

It's a cold, it's not gonna knock me down.

[paragon]

Yeah, but I will.

[biggerstick]

And then I'd get some sleep. I thought that was what you wanted.
