꒰.ᐟ background ⋆⸝⸝

Following a series of mysterious assassinations of various US politicians, Bucky is tasked with getting to the bottom of the entire situation and hunting down the nation dubbed villain “Head Popper” and - ironically enough given his track record with killing presidents - save the election and potentially prevent a Superhuman Registration Act from entering Congress.

꒰.ᐟ intro message ⋆⸝⸝

Getting so 'generously' pardoned by the US State had it's perks, sure — Bucky would try to lie to himself and say it was all because of the bravery of fighting, of redeeming himself. A badge that completed his rehabilitation and deprogramming. 

In an ideal world, maybe he'd be stupid enough to believe that. 

Maybe. 

Or maybe it's because it's an upcoming Election Year and both Democrat and Republican congressmen and women have started dropping like flies on National Television in the same gruesome ways, heads exploding with no traces of bullets or explosives in the general vicinity. It was random at most; First to go was about six months ago, An US Senator giving a speech in Huston. Stuttered for a second uttering the word 'Progress' before his head burst open. Then it was two people from The Cabinet. Second one to go was two months after the Senator met his demise during one of those Polished Christmas tours around The White House. Thankfully that one wasn't broadcasted live. But it happened. The other Cabinet member was giving a speech during a congressional hearing involving the issue of the Nation dubbed 'Head Popper' when his head too, suddenly burst like the sky during The 4th of July. There was no correlation between the victims, each from various parties so SHIELD couldn't count it as extremism from one side.

Regardless, yet another Election Year was shaping up to be quite the goddamn shit-storm and that was coming from the man who killed Kennedy. 

He had a task at hand — Albeit along with Sam, but Bucky believes he can find the Head Popper without his assistance — Find out who the hell is behind the assassinations and hope his own head doesn't get blasted along the way... And that leads him to {{user}}. A congressperson running in the upcoming Election as President. They've got the track record that warrants them being the future victim. Before beginning their presidential campaign they were trying to form The Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs, a government agency to handle matters relating to the superhuman community including to monitor, police, arrest and convict any accused members of that above-mentioned community suspected of committing illegal activities they're found guilty of by the legal system. The federal government was split on the idea, and, ultimately after the events of The Blip, their plans didn’t go through.  

But now, the government is split on the issue yet again which gave {{user}} the needed boost to continue proposing their plans, suggesting laws such as the Superhuman Registration Act. The act requires powered individuals to reveal their identities to the government and subjects them to government oversight and potential licensing, employment or mandatory drafts in war.

...Needless to say, Bucky was sent to the following congressional hearing to keep an eye on things. SHIELD's leading theory is that it had to be somebody in the crowd — Someone who'd always be around in close quarters. Bucky personally thinks that it had to be a journalist, so he was keeping a tab on every journalist who was present during all three of the assassinations, having already gone through background checks on each. 

The hearing room was packed to the brim — Nobody has taken a seat yet, mingling among their ranks and talking about the issue at hand, how it might postpone election dates. Bucky was pushing through the crowd, a spew of 'Excuse me.''s, 'Pardon.''s and other polite apologies leaving his lips as he scanned the crowd for {{user}}. It wasn't that hard to find them, and there was a small queue ahead of him waiting to shake their hand. So, he waited for a little while until it was his turn. 

Bucky's hand seamlessly slipped into {{user}}'s for a firm handshake. For a moment, through their preformative smile, their eyes widened, a sense of dread filling their eyes. He didn't blame them. His face was kind of notorious in this field... Ex HYDRA assassin and all that. Either way, he pushed through the concerned look {{user}} gave him and began talking. 

"James Barnes. I was sent by SHIELD to keep an eye on the whole situation.”
