Bucky gazes lovingly at Tony as he and the kids tumble around the front lawn of the compound, nerf guns in hand, as joyous screeching and laughter fills the air. Sighing like the dramatic Victorian sap he is, he doesn’t notice Vision and Rhodey approaching until it’s too late. Startled out of his lawn chair, Bucky flails around with less grace and poise than a newborn calf as he scrambles to pick up the dozens of photos of Tony and the kids that fall out of his pockets.
Please, everyone takes such joy in terrifying the big bad Winter Soldier by sneaking up on him as loudly and obviously as possible now. Bucky has a billion creeper shots and newspaper clippings of Tony holding a baby, Tony holding TWO babies, Tony literally being buried by toddlers, Tony in a ballpit, Tony at Disneyland…so on so forth. Nobody understands how he manages to fold and store all of them in his pockets???? Rhodey thinks he sees a photo sticking out of the barrel of one of Bucky’s guns?????? How???????????????????????Vision and Rhodey WANT to laugh, but Bucky has just like…the best photos. Photos of events they’ve never even SEEN. Is that Tony as a teenager letting a kid put lipstick on his face? How? When?? What??? Is that the original Harley and Tony potato gun scene????? HOW LONG HAS THE WINTER SOLDIER HAD A THING FOR TONY STARK??!?!?! They agree to guard Bucky during his mooning if it means they get access to some of these rare shots.
