Well. He was definitely fucking armed and awake, if the bright flashes under the glass canopy were anything to go by. He shifted, adjusting the fabric around himself into a more secure knot so it wouldn't come undone while he was fighting, because it would probably come to a fight.
He braced himself for anything. If this was an alien, it could be an Asgardian, or some strange creature out of a comic book, it was impossible to guess. But whatever showed up, he had to keep it away from the village and the kids.
Bucky was not expecting what he could only describe as a knight -shining armor and all - came tumbling out. They landed face-first in the dirt, clumsily, and immediately the absurdity of somebody in plate armor coming out of a space ship was tempered by the gun in their hand.
And it was, definitely a gun. Probably a laser one, based on the flashes of light he'd just seen. Could his arm stand up to that? If anything could, it would be vibranium, but his flesh body probably wouldn't.
And then, because apparently not enough weird shit had happened today, the knight lifted their head and said his name??
Bucky stared at the shiny metal head, the laser gun, and the space ship. "I came here to get away from the weird shit," he mumbled, then sighed.
"Stay where you are! The Black Panther is on the way." He hoped Shuri was coming. At least she had a vibranium-lined body suit to protect her from a knight with a laser gun.
