"So, you did it all right, but it didn't help with the nightmares." Dr. Raynor says after Bucky narrates his latest amend about Senator Atwood.
"Well, like I said, I didn't have any." He replies in a monotonous voice.
"Look... one day, you're gonna have to open up and understand that some people really do want to help you and that they can be trusted." The therapist explaines.
"I trust people." Bucky replies.
"Yeah? Give me your phone." Dr. Raynor puts her palm towards her patient.
Bucky groans, but hands his phone to her.
"You don't have ten phone numbers on this thing." The doctor says.
"Oh, and you've been ignoring the texts from Sam."
"I am the only person you have called all week. Apart from replying to this AW's texts."
"That is so sad."
She throws Bucky's phone back to him as he catches it with his left hand.
"You're alone. You're a hundred years old."
"You have no history, no family..." the doctor continues to state facts when Bucky interrupts.
"Are you lashing out at me, Doc? Because that's really unprofessional, you know? When did that start? Yelling at your clients?--"
Dr. Raynor picks her notebook up.
"The notebook. That's great." Bucky let's out a sigh.
"All right, give me a break. I'm trying, okay?" Bucky says.
"This is new for me." he said after a pause, but then continued again, "I didn't have a moment to deal with anything, you know? ... I had a little... calm in Wakanda. And other than that, I just went from one fight to another for 90 years."
"So, now that you've stopped fighting, what do you want?" the doctor asks
"Peace."
"That is utter bullshit." The doctor was growing impatient.
"You're a terrible shrink." Bucky says.
"I was an excellent soldier, so I saw a lot of dead bodies, and I know how that can shut you down. And if you are alone, that is the quietest, most personal hell. And, James, it is very hard to escape. Look, I know that you have been through a lot, but you've got your mind back, you are being pardoned. I mean, these are good things. You're free." The doctor says.
"To do what?"

Bucky's doorbell rings.
He opened the door see a blonde woman, smiling at him.
"Hey. How was it?"
"It was awful" Bucky replies as she enters his apartment.
"No, I meant, the lunch, with Yori." she says as she plops down onto his huge couch.
"That too." he replies.
"Everything alright, James?"
"Huh? No. Not really. Firstly, Yori fixed me a date with the waitress, Izzy, at the Sushi place-"
"That's not awful" she interrupts him.
"And then he got sad when he remembered his dead son."
"Oh, James."
"A son, who was killed. By me."
"No. That's not true, and you know that, James. It was the Winter Soldier."
"I was the Winter Soldier, Zayrah."
Zayrah senses that Bucky is really miserable because it was only at such times, he addresses her with her first name.
Steve had introduced her to Bucky after Tony's funeral.
"Buck, Meet Zayrah. Agent Zayrah Jade Waters. Zayrah this my best friend, Sergeant James Buchanan Barnes."
Gosh! She missed him!
"So. Date huh? You better nail this one, or I would be the one to be blamed. Afterall it's my job to make sure you fit into this new world smoothly." Zayrah manages to change the subject.
"Firstly, don't be yourself..and don't keep ranting about how weird dating is nowadays. You don't talk about dating while you are on a date." She continues.
"Jade, calm down. It's not like I'm proposing marriage to her or something."
Zayrah rolls her eyes at the 106 year old man.
After bickering for some more time. More like, after bickering for a few more hours, it was time for Bucky's date.
"I'm staying in for now. I'm not leaving this movie in the middle, no matter what." Zayrah says, her eyes still stuck to the TV screen.
"Yeah, alright, don't leave until I return."Bucky replies wearing his gloves.
"Aye, Sergeant!"
"Don't call me that."
"James!" Zayrah shouted as Bucky was about to leave.
"Don't say it."
Zayrah smiles mischievously.
"Jade, don't."
"ALL THE BEST, BUCK!"
"God dammit!" Bucky mutters and leaves.
Zayrah chuckles to herself.
__________
I ..um..skipped over a few areas to make place for more interaction between Bucky and Zayrah.
.
And yes. Bucky has a $5000 couch with Cashmere blankets.
Mind you. Only Bucky calls her Jade, and
Only Zayrah calls him James.
You know the drill!
