─── he shouldn’t be here . well , he shouldn’t be sitting on the floor here . the ex-assassin sits up against the wall outside of Colette’s office , legs pulled close to keep out of the way as he awaits the woman’s arrival . Winifred Barnes is rolling in her grave at his lack of public manners , he’s sure of it . the thought has the corner of Bucky’s mouth tilting upwards , head shaking slightly . soon though , it’s forgotten , the click clack of expensive heels echoing down the hall pulls him from his imagination .
must be a sight , bulky super - soldier scrambling to his feet before he’s spotted , patting down his hair and straightening his clothes , even checking his breath . rolling his eyes at himself , he clears his throat , licks his lips . here goes .
❝ Colette ! ❞ he calls , waving her down with his right hand . he’s standing outside her office but he can’t be too sure not to miss her . twitching glitching at his side , his left hand stutters and jerks on its own accord . with a grumble and a shake of it , he sticks the titanium limb away in his pocket , looking back up again to be sure she had seen him calling for her .
