A smirk comes across her face the moment she hears the snap of the cellphone camera. She takes another bite of her sandwich, leaning one hand back against the counter. “I’m pretty sure I’m real and you don’t look like you’re having a stroke. Then again you’re a hundred and something super soldier, so I don’t know what having a stroke would look like for someone like you.” Nat offers with a smile and the she hops down from the counter. “I guess I was brought back. For what reason, I don’t know. But it seems I haven’t missed much. You’re all still getting yourself in trouble.”

Bucky offered a pained smile and shrugged. “To be fair... I was doing fine in Wakanda, staying out of trouble and working with animals and... stuff, I was staying away from trouble but... Yeah,” he winced and shook his head. “Well... Welcome back, I guess, dying sucks and ah... If you need someone to talk to...” he trailed off and squirmed awkwardly in place, he never knew how to interact with people that had known him as the Winter Soldier, people he had hurt back when he had no control, “I can give you the number of my therapist, she’s in Wakanda, I don’t think I’d actually be of much help in that regard.”

Reports had just come in and the crime outdoors were starting to each an all time high and so was the radiation. That part she wasn’t too worried about, she had been reassured that some of the smartest science minds were looking into it, but the crime. That was something Carol wanted to get a hold of and try to put a stop to if she could. She was looking around for Steve, maybe even Thor to see if maybe they could finally convince SHIELD to let them go out and help the few law enforcement that they had. 

She was walking through the lounge, making her way to the meeting offices when she spotted someone. She remembered seeing him on the battlefield and at the funeral of Tony. He was Steve’s friend, Bucky. Carol nods her head at him. “The situation is bad from what I’m hearing and I’m going to go find someone that’ll give us the green light to go out and help.”

Bucky turned around and smiled, he didn’t know a lot about the woman, she was strong, strong enough to tear Thanos ship and fight him, she was also close to Fury and that’s about as much as he knew. He nodded his head in reply, after all that’s what they came here to do but then what? They could stop the crime as it was happening, hell maybe take the criminal to the police but would it actually accomplish something? Make a difference at all? The system was failing because there seemed to be no system and SHIELD looked like it was being ripped apart trying to help with the big and small picture at once.

“If they give you the green light let me know, this whole sotting around and waiting it’s... hard, different, I was usually asleep and just woken up to jump into action.”

Bucky didn’t know what he was doing there, helping he supposed, at least that was the reason why he had left Wakanda. Most if his 107 years of life had been spent doing things unwilligly for Hydra so once he came out of his cryosleep he decided to pay more attention to the decisions he took, thinking throughly, maybe even ovethinking, every decision but coming here had been a little bit of a rash decision for him, did they even need him? Could he even help? He considered that helping around with the crime was about the only way he could offer some help but even then...

His thoughts were interrupted as he heard someone approaching and he took a deep breath.

“Hello” he greeted with a smile. “It’s been a while since I’ve been back to this country...” Even longer if he didn’t consider his trips here as the Winter Soldier. “Do you know what’s the situation like?”

This is all very weird to her. Being back after two years and yet still after everything Earth just couldn’t get its’ shit together. The most interesting thing about being back though, is the fact that she doesn’t remember anything about being dead. The last thing she recalls is Clint’s face and then falling. There’s no memory of pain, no memory of the afterlife. So if anyone was looking for a story about that from her, they were going to be sorely disappointed. 

Natasha sat on the counter, eating her peanut butter sandwich, when someone walked into the kitchen and over to the fridge.

Bucky’s first thought was that of course, they were because it was just his luck but he stopped and focused on the woman speaking and spoke death in his tracks, his reprogramming had been mainly done with him unconscious, he had been assured that Hydra had been flushed out of his system but was advised to visit a therapist, and there were words like trauma and PTSD that Bucky didn’t like, back where he was from men were supposed to shove their feelings down, it took some time but he had eventually gone for a couple of sessions, because after everything there were some things that were just too much, like being turned into dust and coming back five years later.

Hallucinations had stopped the moment his brain stopped getting scrambled on a constant basis and as hard as he dried he couldn’t remember what he was supposed to do if he had one again, so he did the first thing that popped into his mind, he pulled out his cellphone and snapped a photo while looking away. Bucky frowned at the picture of Natasha.

“You... are real? Either that or I’m probably having a stroke and dying...  I thought you... I mean... Were you brought back too?” He asked, maybe she was brought back as well and chose to hide away, Bucky was exhausted of all the battles and violence, he could definitely relate.
