Remember that time Skye was left to her own devices and she stole a car, purposely crashed it, broke into someone’s house, disarmed a security guard, impersonated a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, hacked into secure financial files and then showed up in the middle of the desert with a new leather jacket and a lamborghini.

#ugly sobbing #why #who gave you the right to make me remember this 

 (via thewinterwizard)

actually, i’m pretty sure his name was listed as one of the SSR agents who were memorialized — they had a different insignia, followed by a few variations of shield’s insignia, probably because of different eras or possibly subsections of shield.

(and this either means that they either put bucky’s NICKNAME (not “james buchanan barnes”) up there, or that skye is a huge bucky fangirl and knows a ton about him and looked for his name.

i’m going for both.)

Yeah, that wall lists both SSR-era agents, as well as SHIELD-era agents.

This screenshot I took below is kinda crappy – there’s a much better version here – but you can see the SSR logo to the left, in the 1941-1965 section.

Also, I think Bucky’s nickname was pretty well known.

The Smithsonian memorial lists his full name, including the “Bucky” nickname, and at the very bottom he’s referred to as just Bucky Barnes. The narrator also calls him “Bucky Barnes.”

But, you know. Her mentor is Phil Coulson. He might have tried to downplay the obsession some, but you know she got some Howling Commandos history lessons at some point, even if she’d never heard the name before in her life. (Which she had, obviously. Not only is it American history, she is an Avengers fan.)

Which just makes me think that at some point Coulson started giving some lecture about Cap history and relating it to something current, and Skye was just all, “We know, Coulson, jeez. The raid took place without official sanction and saved the lives of over a hundred men. Got it. In history class. And at the Smithsonian. And, you know, the last two times you’ve talked about it.”
