Wonka's Sweets Shoppe | Saturday
Wonka's was full of bunnies.
Chocolate ones, that was. Also chocolate eggs in all imaginable sizes. And some... very, very weird bunny-egg hybrids Bucky honestly didn't want to look at for too long. He was pretty sure there'd been an accident at the factory and now they were trying to pass the results off as a new innovation.
There were a ton of those hashtag things on the packaging they'd been shipped to the store in. Now, Bucky wasn't that well-versed in that mode of communication (wasn't like he had too many people to text who weren't also men out of time) but even he could spot desperation when he saw it.
But all the chocolate figurines – abominations or otherwise – weren't the most important thing on his mind right now. Nah, he'd just been putting some new items in the window display, and he was pretty sure he'd seen something that looked like a giant bunny, outside. So now, he was –– okay, he wasn't proud of this, but his first instinct was to try and Google if bunnies that size were a thing. Hey, this was Maryland! (Of course if he'd taken more of a scenic route to work this morning, he would've known it wasn't Maryland but hey, oh well.) Giant bunnies could've been a Maryland thing!
Except --
"All cellphone service as well as the internet are currently down, Mr. Barnes," his phone told him.
Bucky sighed. "Yeah, JARVIS, I sorta just figured that out."
"Also, this is merely a suggestion, but you might want to lock the door."
Today was going to be interesting, wasn't it?
(open!)

was going to pretend his internet had been working yesterday okayrapped at the door, shield in his other hand and dressed in full stealth Captain America uniform."Buck? Are you around?"

He jumped when he heard the knock.
He wasn't proud of that, especially after he immediately remembered bunnies – giant or otherwise – were probably not going to be knocking on the door.
"Christ, am I glad to see you," he said, once he'd made it to the door. And unlocked it. And kind of given the street a suspicious look.

Most people weren't, Steve.

"Ha ha."

Steve. STEVE. Don't borrow trouble like that.

"If they are, we're screwed," Bucky decided, dryly. "Some of them are egg-bunny hybrids."
