"M'Baku!"
"White Wolf. Welcome back home."
He hadn't heard that nickname in so long.
Bucky keeps Bruce steady on the ramp, though he barely needed it.
He laughs loudly, greeting his old friend.
Bucky understands the disappointment. Especially his own.
"I was under HYDRA control for over eighty years. I was experimented on. Who knows what they did?"
Now he's afraid he'll never truly be done with Winter.
"They're always on. The blue is a beacon for a pick up."
He takes them off, laying them on Bruce's hand.
"Shuri will make some for you and Robin. You cam use them if anything ever happens-"
Bucky smiles as he sees Robin.
He kisses his head and takes his tiny hand.
"All sounds good. They're outside waiting. I can get our things if you want to take Robin."
Bucky grabs several bags , then puts his arm around Bruce, squeezing him close. A large alien looking craft had landed in the driveway, careful to miss the grass.
Bucky smiles as the door lowers for them to enter.

"Is he able to get in or should we pick him up on the way?"
Bucky calls from the bathroom, gathering his toiletries.
"Did Alfred want to go?"
Bucky looks up quickly.
"I'm more worried about Tony and how he feels."
Bucky's biggest regret was not being able to disobey those gruesome orders.
"They're smarter than that."
Now Bucky is worried this might mean something bad.
He goes back to the closet, pulling out his best clothes.
"Y-you mean..?"
Bucky starts to wonder now.
" Maybe they weren't actively watching because i've been okay for so many years."
They'd come in the past for almost non existent reasons.
