24. We're falling apart and we're coming together again and again.

[After leaving Scott's room, Stiles makes his way toward the stairs. He's relieved as hell that Scott is awake again, that he seems to be fine. Just as nearly everyone had told him. But now he has other people he needs to check on. Lydia, Dean, Kira, Liam, Allison, Isaac, Bucky, Steve, Jean. His people. They're growing in numbers, expanding a little bit at a time. For a guy who'd once thought himself virtually incapable of caring about anyone besides his dad, Scott, and Lydia, he's come a long way.

He heads for Dean's room first, mostly because they'd been in the midst of a battle with a horrifyingly large kaiju before getting pulled back to the Barge, and he wants to make sure his inmate is okay. He still feels a little disoriented by all of it. More so than most of these kinds of events tend to leave him.

He can be found heading toward any of their rooms, also at the cafeteria to grab something to eat, and then heading back to his own room on the seventh floor.]

[Private to Scott]

[He's slept a bit since he saw Scott earlier, but he still looks a little tired. He also looks a little nervous.]

I have a question.

[Spam for Lydia]

[Everything is already set up in the enclosure, ready to go. Now he just has to get her to go with him. He's chewing his thumbnail as he heads toward her room, and knocks lightly on the door. It's late but not super late. Not late enough that he's worried she'll be asleep. He stands and waits, heart beating quickly in his chest.]

[Bucky's fine, really. There have been worse breaches, or floods, or whatever else, and so he goes about his routine more or less the same way as always - boot camp, eating way too much in the mess hall, snacking on horrible ration chocolate bars (partially because he likes them, partially because they're so high in calories that it helps his system feel less like he's starving to death if he doesn't snack in between meals) - so it's probably not a shock that Stiles runs into him in the mess hall, not his room, or Steve's.]

You make it out alright? [The fact that he's on his feet and not in the infirmary does reassure Bucky that you didn't get yourself eaten, so.

Also you're being offered a glass of orange juice.]

[And Stiles is relieved to see that his friend is up, around and doing okay. If he's up and in the mess hall, he's definitely okay. He hadn't died. Thank god. So far all of his people have survived. He still has others to check on, but he's pleased so far.]

Yeah. I was mid-battle with Dean when we showed back up here.

[He smiles and takes the glass of juice.]

Thanks. [He pauses. He doesn't really remember seeing Bucky back there actually, now come to think of it.]

You were okay right?
