[...He'd picked his username when they pulled him here because superheroes and people on the internet have one thing in common: secret identities. He'd also kind of assumed there wouldn't be any actual Avengers here. So he'd given them his wiki-editing handle, and he maybe regrets it a lot now, but at least he can make this post without his real name attached, or he probably wouldn't make it at all.]

Just a question, but if you knew someone here could tell you about your future... would you ask them about it? Would you want to know, or not? Would it make a difference if they seemed pretty uncomfortable about it?

[He's not sure he does want to know, honestly. But at the same time, Billy is being just a little weird about it, and maybe knowing would be better, in case he lets it slip later anyway. He just can't decide.]

Fair enough. There are a handful of Avengers here, from about three different timelines. As a warning. What's your name? We like to keep track.

Right. I think I remember something about that. Before my time, but Steve probably remembers better.

'Coincidental name'?

[notasaviour]

[There's an awkward question, but he guesses it's better to give the name he'll be telling most people.]

...Teddy. You don't have to keep track of me, though. I'm not an Avenger.

You've got the same name as Bucky, or at least the same initials.

[See: as far as Teddy knows, he's dead. That's not exactly tactful, though.]

[anotheroldsoldier]

You're from a world with Avengers in it. It's a good thing to know.

[This is new, though. Most people already know that he's around again.]

I am Bucky.

[notasaviour]

[It's a real good thing he's on the network, or he'd be making more of an idiot of himself right now, because how and also that is actually pretty amazing.]

I guess that just proves you're either from my future, or another universe. I hope so anyway. It's nice to know the future went well enough for you to come back, and the Avengers too.

[anotheroldsoldier]

['Well enough'. Eesh. Bucky wouldn't exactly say his future went well, there's still a part of him that would have rather died in the Channel in '45, but.]

I'm not sure without more information if you're from the same timeline or a different one. Cap is here, if talking to him would help set things straight.

[notasaviour]

I couldn't. I'm sure he's pretty busy, so interrupting him just to ask if we're from the same world seems selfish. Besides, he's Cap.

[anotheroldsoldier]

Don't see why you can't interrupt him. He's a big boy, he can make time to talk to people. We usually get off work around five.

[notasaviour]

I still don't know if that's a good idea. I don't want to bother anyone if they have more important things to do.

[Which in Teddy's opinion is pretty much everything. Besides, he's pretty sure he'd only embarrass himself horribly.]

[anotheroldsoldier]

I know he seems larger than life, but he's just a guy, you know? Steve Rogers is Captain America, but Cap isn't all that Steve is.
