[There was a point in time when Bucky would have refused to purchase a bonded and nobody could have swayed his decision. He's in his thirties, older than the majority to buy a slave for the first time, and his choice to follow through is almost a political move. Work, business, it's what the bosses want. Bucky's employers send him out on missions, he goes home, has a few months off, and then he goes out again. It's a routine he doesn't mind. There's nobody waiting for him back in his two bedroom apartment in the north side of Brooklyn, but it's a good life.
But Bucky got in over his head on one of his last missions. Too deep. Now he's the only operative that his agency has that can go back in. Only problem is that he needs to take his bonded with him. A bonded that he doesn't have. And if he gets one, it's for life.
The issue, for Bucky, surrounding the whole body slave movement is basic human rights. They're people. They shouldn't be sold and bought and kept. He has friends who've purchased a bonded simply to give a person a good home, something he should have done and had the means to do, but never could quite get up the nerve. The slaves were all brainwashed into behaving a certain way. Once he had a bonded in his home, he had to be careful. Anything he said or did could get out. But there was a social standing that one would have once they had a body slave. It meant you were connected enough to get a seat during auction days and wealthy enough to care for a bonded.
He couldn't say no to the mission. So that left him only way option.
The actual purchase is quick. He'd browsed the files before showing up at the warehouse. Had a small list of potential slaves. If he was going to do this, he was doing it his way. He'd pick someone useful. Earn their trust and loyalty, and then he'd let them live the life they wanted. As much as they could given the laws set in place. He picks unnamed #2039944, pays the fees, and takes him home. The man is walking behind him, slightly to his left side, as he shows him around the apartment.]
The rules are simple here. When we're in the apartment, you can do what you want. Use the exercise equipment in the spare bedroom. Eat anything in the fridge or cabinets, just put it on the list if you use the last of something. [He gestures down the hall.] Watch the tv. I'd give you the spare room but that's not safe.
Never know when someone might show up to make sure we're not breaking any rules.
[He turns to look at the man.]
I picked you because you're strong. What name do you go by and do you have any questions?
