Sam and Bucky express their concern about Wanda.
All Sam can do in reply is shrug. "She’s not talking to me, man. She talks to me about kids—her kids, actually—and she tells me about Vision and flying, but that’s all."
"She hasn’t told me anything," Bucky says, looking away from him. Sam feels compelled to reach out and touch his bicep to comfort him, but he keeps his arms locked against his chest.
"Don’t take it personally," Sam says. "Westview was rough."
In reply, Bucky runs his tongue over his teeth, shaking his head. Jaw tense. "I don’t understand how we’re meant to help her when she’s fully capable of helping herself."
"Me neither," Sam sighs heavily. "I’m as lost as you."
Rubbing at his face, Bucky sighs. "She’s coming back," he says, glancing over Sam’s shoulder. With a quick look back, he sees Wanda walking towards them from the distance, her head bowed. She brushes her hair behind her ear but doesn’t peer up at them. He knows she knows they’re looking at her.
"Don’t say anything to her, man," he says quietly. Peering at Bucky, he takes a step forward. "We need to make sure we play this right."
"I know," Bucky says quietly. "We don’t need to lose another person."

“Yeah, because you’re basically a senior citizen.”
“Who knew Barnes had such impressive moves?” Wanda remarked as the Avengers watched footage of themselves fighting terrorists.
Bucky had pulled off an impressive spinning kick, knocking out two baddies while firing with deadly precision.
He smirked at her from across the sofa where he was lounging and providing critique of the encounter, much to Natasha’s annoyance.
“I have moves you’ve never heard of, doll,” he declared smugly.
“Yeah, because you’re basically a senior citizen!” Wanda shot back, never missing an opportunity to rile him up. She and Bucky had an ongoing friendly feud and it caused much amusement for their friends, many of whom were convinced they were flirting.
Setting down his beer with a thump, Bucky stared at Wanda for a few silent moments, then pulled himself to his feet.
“Awe, did she hurt your feelings, gramps?” Clint jeered.
Wanda actually feared for Clint’s life for a second, but Bucky just ignored the archer and came around to stand in front of her. He stared down, blue eyes challenging.
“You wanna see some “senior citizen moves”?” He almost growled in a tone that made Wanda’s mouth go dry. “Dance with me and I’ll show you some.”
“He’s not joking,” she heard Steve say. “Bucky tears up the dance floor.”
He was holding out his hand to her invitingly and Wanda very much wanted to take it, but she had to be careful.
“I would like to, but you might want to put on gloves so I don’t cause you discomfort,” she told him. “I try to not be intrusive, but when I’m in close contact, It’s much harder to not inadvertently sense things.”
She figured that a man who’d had his brain violated so much would not want someone like her near him, but Bucky didn’t withdraw his hand.
“I’m not worried about that, Wanda,” he told her, gaze softening. “I trust you.”
“You’re sure?” She asked cautiously.
“Yup,” he answered confidently. “Now let’s get out of here before our nosy friends get too annoying.”
Smiling, Wanda grabbed his hand and let him pull her to her feet.
“Training room B is unoccupied,” Natasha informed them, looking extremely pleased. Wanda wasn’t sure if it was because she was playing matchmaker or just wanted Bucky out of the room.
Either way, they left the others without looking back, Bucky still clutching her hand. Wanda was very much liking what she was sending from him, thinking that their meddling friends had been right all along.
“All right, Bucky, show me what you’ve got,” she challenged, when they’d found a suitable empty room.
She hasn’t really danced before, but Bucky was a patient teacher and soon they were twirling around the floor together.
“You catch on fast, doll,” he told her with a pleased grin that made her heart skip a beat and She thought she could stare at the smile forever.
“You’re pretty Spry for a senior citizen,” she teased back as she was whirled around. Bucky’s eyes narrowed and she had just enough time to think “Uh-oh” before she was being dipped and staring straight up into his very intense looking face.
“Still No respect for your elders, huh?” He whispered.
“None at all,” she replied breathlessly, heart pounding at the desire she could feel coming from him. She smiled encouragingly at him, very much on board with this development.
Bucky’s eyes dropped to her lips.
“Perhaps another lesson is in order, huh?” he murmured.
“I’d say so,” she agreed.
It was a good thing Bucky was supporting her, because the kiss he gave would have buckled her knees.
“Okay, I take back what I said,” she gasped out when he’d returned her to her feet, his arms still encircling her.
He smirked. “Even got you to switch back to Sokovian.”

Sailor Senshi and Shitennou Romance Essay: Venus and Kunzite
Let me start by saying that Venus and Minako has always been my younger sister’s favorite character and, for that reason, I spoke to her about the pairing to get a different insight. One of the big things that I noticed right away with the famous picture is how close and intimate Venus and Kunzite are, and that’s not a coincidence. Minako was designed to be the beta Usagi back when Sailor V was first conceived, and this is true of Kunzite as well. Judging by how Takauchi described him in the Materials collection, as a prince, this at least tells me that he was probably going to be a Mamoru character stand in for Minako to chase after, and it showed. We had a clone of Kunzite even show up in the Sailor V manga causing her to have her memories starting to return, and then there was the whole thing with Kaito Ace, who practically indicated that she was in love with Kunzite and that no one else could even get close to her because of it.
Because of this, it very much seems like Takauchi had plans to have Minako and Kunzite be the beta couple for Mamo and Usagi, and this, I think, lays a lot of the groundwork not only for the finalized Sailor Moon series romance between the two mains. But, also became they became the lead base for all the other romances in the Shitennou x Senshi romances, and even extending to the Outer scouts romances as well.
I just finished watching the Sailor Moon movie ;////; Best movie ever.
It was so beautiful and exciting >///< I will also work on drawing the Outer Senshi with their princess and genderbend versions.
I hope you like these versions, I have been doing them for a few months. You can take a look at my other drawings here: https://www.instagram.com/silkydxll/

Q: What kind of family do you want to build if you defeat all the titans and it becomes a peaceful world?
Eren: A world without titans, huh? I still can’t even imagine that. It was relieving when I used to live with my parents.
Levi: You mean if I manage to stay alive ‘till thenー I’ll be concerned about the Survey Corps members, so I’ll be thinking about it after everything’s calm down.
Q: Your proposal line?
Eren: “Would you live together with me?” Isn't that what everyone says?
Levi: Are words that important?
Q: What kind of wedding ceremony do you want to hold?
Eren: I guess I want to have fun with everyone.
Levi: That’s enough. I’m busy.
---
Then there was another question about an “ideal bride“ for them to which Eren said: “You might want me to say it’s Mikasa, but I wonder. (laughs)” and Levi's response was (by my own translation)
“下 衆 な 質 問 だ な.” = “What a low-ranking question.”
---
Levi seemed so talkative during when other questions were asked about the Survey Corps, Marco, and etc. When the topic of marriage and brides came up he became.. kinda snappy?
“Are words that important?”
“That's enough. I'm busy.”
“What a low-ranking question.”
I wonder why he would be so upset about questions related to marriage. It's not like—
“'She said she was going to give it all to you. Well … she’s so in love with you that she doesn’t know what her father is going through (laughs).'
Looking for “Noroke” in the dictionary, is defined as being in love/fall in love with; speaking fond words about one's love.
