The Boat
04:39, 30 July 2021You were sitting at the table watching Aj and Cass play with the shield which you took back from John A.K.A Captain America wannabe. You smiled to yourself when you saw how much fun the boys were having. You take another sip of your strawberry smoothie before saying.
You: Shh, remember there's a sleeping grandpa on the couch.
Bucky: Hey!
You 3 look towards Bucky and he waves.
Aj: Put it back. Hurry, hurry.
The boys put the shield away and run off into their room. You giggle as they runoff.
You: Hey, grandpa.
Bucky(Sarcastically): Haha very funny.
You get up and walk over to him and sit at his feet.
Bucky: What you got there?
You: Strawberry smoothie. Want something?
Bucky sits up and tucks a strand of hair behind your ear before he gives your lips a little peck.
Bucky: No.
You blush a light shade of red before getting up and washing up your cup.
Bucky: Aww did I make you bluch
You: In your dreams, sarge.
-Out on the boat-
You were on the boat looking at the sunrise. When you decided to go check on Sam and Bucky, you poke your head through the trapdoor.
You: Wow! You 2 can actually get along.
Bucky: No I'm helping there's a difference, doll.
Sam: What? Doll?
You: Nice, bye sarge, bye Sammy.
You leave and sit on the edge of the boat smiling to yourself. When the boys come out from the engein room Sam walks over to the water pump and, Bucky walks over to you he tickles you and you almost fall over bord.
You: Hey! What was that for.
Bucky: Nothing, now come on.
Bucky puts a hand on your waist and you both walk over to Sam.
-30 minute later-
Sam: Okay, so...
Sarah walks over to you 3.
Sarah: Excuse me, no!
Sam: There should be a 3-16th bolt that goes in the big gear.
Bucky: Nope!
You: Oh-no.
Sarah: Uh-huh. No. No.
Sam: You didn't even look.
Bucky: I didn't have to. Hi, Sarah.
You: Hey. (Nervous giggle)
Sarah: I told you specifically that the water pump was not the problem, yet here you are.
Bucky: Yep, Samuel.
Sam: In our defence, we were supposed to be done long before you woke up.
Sarah: I don't come up to the sky to tell you how to barrel roll, so you don't come down here and start messing around with things you don't understand.
Sam: Wow. Wow.
Sarah: Bye. Off. Thank you lady, gentlemen. Appreciate you. I love you, bro.
You all get up and walk off the boat Bucky holding your hand leading you, even though he knows you are capable of walking on your own.
Sam: She's a very mean person.
Bucky: It's tough love.
You: Come on, Sam.
Sam: No. If you did what I told you to do, we would have been done before any of this took place.
Bucky: There is no such thing.
Sam: There's a prowess that goes into my madness.
You giggle and lean on Bucky's shoulder.
-Back at the house-
Bucky and Sam are throwing the shield and you are standing in the middle of them.
Sam: Feels weird... Picking it up again.
You: The legacy of that shield is complicated, to say the least.
Bucky: When Steve told me what he was planning, I don't think we understood what it feel like for a Black man to be handed the shield.
You: How could we?
Bucky: I owe you an apology. I'm sorry.
Bucky hands the shield which he caught back to Sam while you just watch them.
Sam: Thank you.
You were stuck thinking about what has happened over the couple of weeks, when Sam said something that caught your attention.
Sam: I get it man, but Steve is gone.
You feel an emotion you thought you would never feel. You shread a tear silently at the thought that Steve is gone forever.
Sam: And it might be a surprise, but it doesn't matter what Steve thought. You gotta stop looking to other people to tell you who you are. Let me ask you. You still having those nightmares?
Bucky: All the time. It means I remember. It means a part of me is still there. Which means a part of the Winter Soldier is still in me.
Sam: You up for a little tough love? You wanna climb out of the hell you're in, do the work. Do it.
Bucky: I've been making amends.
Sam: Nah. You weren't amending, you were avenging. You were stoping all the wrongdoers you enabled as the Winter Soldier, because you thought it would bring you closuer. You go to these people and say "sorry" because you think it will make you feel better, right? But you gotta make them feel better. You gotta go to them and be of service. I'm sure that there's at least 1 person in that book who needs closure about something, and you're the only person who can give it to 'em.
Bucky: Probly a dozen.
Sam: That's cool. Start with 1.
Bucky: Good talk.
You still have tears in your eyes but smile to yourself.
Sam: Karli won't quit.
Bucky: You call me when you have a lead and, I'll be there. Not nesserserally as a team.
Sam: Nope.
Bucky: We're not that good.
Sam: Defenatly not.
Bucky: Professionals
Sam: Defiatly.
Bucky: And, uh, we're all partners
Sam: Co-workers.
You: But we're also a group of people with a mutral friend
Sam: Friends now gone.
Bucky: So a group of people.
Sam: I can live with that.
Bucky: Perfect.
Sam: Thanks for the help, man. It meant a lot.
Bucky: Of course.
Bucky pats Sam on the shoulder and hugs and pecks you on the lips before you ask something.
Bucky: Hey, where're you going.
You: Probobly back to Avengers tower or something.
Bucky: Come with me, we can't have you there.
You: You sure?
Bucky: Come on.
Sam: Are you 2 a couple or something?
Bucky: Are we?
You: Depends do you want to be?
Bucky: If you want to, then sure.
You: All right then yeah, Sam, we are.
Sam: Take care of her for me.
Bucky: Always.
You hug Sam before you and Bucky walk away from him and to the car and going back to Brooklyn.
