Bucky, Callie and Irina, after a brief stop in Wakanda, boarded a plane.

---

Their plane landed in Delacroix, Louisiana.

They arrived at the docks and saw people unloading things, putting them close to the boat.

Irina glanced around for Sam and heard him say, "Tommy, Carlos, man, this is amazing." He chuckled. "Thanks so much, man."

"Look..." Carlos began.

"Thanks, y'all."

"Hey, look, word goes out the Wilson family needs help?"

"Yes, sir," a man said.

"We still got a bit of usefulness in us."

"How do we get it off the truck?"

Bucky grabbed a crate from the back and a man cried, "Oh!"

As Bucky set the crate down, he said, "You're welcome."

Sam glanced at Irina. "Did someone call you two?"

Irina shook her head. "Nah, we're just dropping something off."

Bucky placed the case on the back of the truck. "You can sign for it and we'll go. Rina and I called in a favor from the Wakandans."

Before Sam could say anything, a hose came loose on the boat and a loud hissing sounded.

Sarah rushed over to her brother and called, "Sam!"

Sam ran to the boat and grabbed a wrench, trying to tighten the hose.

"Hi," Bucky greeted, waving to Sarah.

"Hi," Sarah replied in a bright tone.

Irina frowned and Bucky kissed her cheek, chuckling softly before saying, "You know I've only got eyes for you, doll."

Bucky walked up to Sam and said, "Hold on, hold on. You gotta go up." He grabbed the wrench from Sam and tightened the hose.

As soon as the hissing stopped, Bucky dropped the wrench to his side and Irina walked onto the boat after handing Callie to someone who began talking to the little girl.

Sam looked between Bucky and the hose before asking, "Why didn't you use the metal arm?"

Irina laughed softly and said, "Well... He is right-handed."

Bucky looked at his left hand and added, "I don't always think of it immediately." Sam chuckled and Irina smiled lightly. "So, this is the boat, huh?"

"This is it." Sam leaned against the box below the hose.

Bucky nodded and looked around again. "It's nice."

"You want any help?" Irina asked. "From the two of us?"

"Yeah," Sam replied as he walked to the front of the boat.

Sarah walked up to the boat and Bucky smiled before saying, "I'm Bucky." He gestured to the brunette. "This is Irina." He pointed to Callie. "That's our daughter Callie."

"Ah, Sarah," Sam's sister replied with a smile.

Irina smiled and waved. "Nice to meet you, Sarah."

Bucky nodded. "Sarah."

Sarah looked between them. "Sam was right about the two of you. You are sweet together. Your daughter is adorable. May I?"

Bucky and Irina shared a smile and a nod before going to help. Sarah took Callie so her parents could help.
