[Alec doesn't bother responding via text. Considering all the havoc that has been going on this month, and the fact that he hasn't heard from his neighbor since a certain broadcast, it doesn't take much for him to conclude that something happened.

And if he'd felt a rush of relief once he set eyes on Bucky's username, he's never going to admit as much.

Instead, he grabs one of his clean glasses, fills it up with two ice cubes and water, and leaves his own apartment. About four minutes after he sent the text Bucky will hear a knock on his door.]

[ Sorry, bub. He's gonna faint if he tries getting up on his feet. All he can do is text the man back with: ]

Come in.
Door's unlocked.

[offthatpath]

[He reads the text, brows furrowing, and then reaches for the door knob. Pushing the door open, he slips inside, eyes scanning the room.]

Bucky?

[sidecars]

In here!

[ His voice cracks immediately, making him sound like a deflated frog. He can't even tell if Alec will hear it, but he's done the best he can after being recently deceased.

Once Alec darkens his doorway, he reaches out a hand for the water. He's never been so parched in his life. ]
