The three are on their walk back to Sam's house.

"This place is really peaceful, Sam." Zayrah says softly.

"I'm glad you like it." Sam chuckles.

"No. But really. The trees, the dock, the calm, it really is a retirement plan for people like us." Zayrah breaths.

"This is the first op you're doing with us, and you're already thinking about retirement?" Sam says.

Zayrah chuckles.

"No. Well, the life I'm leading now, is making me consider retirement. I've never really thought about it before. I took up this job, hoping I would never reach the retirement age." She says.

"Wow. Really? You're that hell-bent on dying?" Bucky asks softly.

"No. She was. Not anymore. You're an idiot, Bucky." Sam mutters to himself.

"Huh. Well, after SHIELD, all I've been sent to do, are jobs nobody else wanted. And of course SHIELD was..well..you both know. SHIELD was SHIELD." Zayrah says.

Bucky exhales. "So, you want that retirement someday now?" He asks.

Zayrah doesn't reply.

Location: Sam's house

"Uncle Sam!" Two young boys shout and greet Sam.

"Hey, boys! These are my friends. This is Bucky and Zayrah. Guys, these are my little men. AJ and Cass." Sam introduces.

"Hi, boys" "Hey" Zayrah and Bucky greet.

The boys return the greetings and run inside.

"Zayrah, can I give you something to change into?" Sarah asks looking up from the kitchen counter, where she is cutting vegetables.

"That..would be lovely, and I'll come back and help you with it. Don't leave me out of it." Zayrah points at the kitchen.

Sarah laughs. "Yes. Of course. Come along. I'll give you something comfortable to wear."

"I'm not lending my clothes to you." Sam says to Bucky

"I would rather wear leaves." Bucky says.

"Yeah, but get your smelly ass cleaned." Sam says.

Zayrah laughs. Bucky shakes his head disapprovingly.

"Hate it to break it to you, but you actually smell like a pig farm." Zayrah hears Bucky say to Sam before she walks into Sarah's room.

Both the women let out a chuckle.

"I think these would be comfortable. Of course it would be a bit big, but who doesn't like baggy clothes." Sarah says and hands Zayrah a pair of sweats and a loose t-shirt.
