Chapter 4

Bucky woke up to the sun warming his skin. He rolled over to check his phone... 7am. He let out a sigh. He doesn't remember the last time he slept so late. He got out of bed in his gray sweatpants that hung low on his hips. No shirt. His metal arm and scars on full display.

He grabbed his clothes for the day and threw them on his bed. He headed for the shower and stopped for a moment remembering last night. He thought about how scared Emma must have been to be screaming the way she did. He hasn't heard bloodcurdling screams like that since his days in Hydra. He thought about knocking on her door to check on her this morning, but he let it be for now. He got in the shower and turned the water to the most unbearable heat. Hot showers always made his muscles feel better.

Bucky headed down to the fifth floor when he was ready to have breakfast with everyone. The chefs set up the food buffet style on the counter. With everything you could think of.... Eggs, waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausage, yogurt, cereal, and there was more coming. Superheroes like their breakfast.

Nat and Steve were already loading up their plates as Bucky walked in.

"Hey Buck." Steve smiled, "Sleep late for a change?"

He scoffed, "Yeah. I don't remember the last time I slept so well."

Nat sat at the table with her plate as Steve joined her. Bucky filled his plate as he hummed to himself a slow but melodic rhythm. Steve looked over at Nat with a questionable eyebrow lifted. Nat shook her head and shrugged her shoulder to say she had no clue.

Bucky continued to hum to himself as he brought his plate to the table. Nat and Steve stared at him.

Bucky glared back, "What?"

Nat smiled, "Whatcha humming there?"

"I don't know. It's been stuck in my head since I woke up." Bucky took a fork full of eggs and held it to his lips, "I feel like I know what the song is, but I just can't place it."

They all continued to eat as more people joined them.

"Morning!" Wanda was always chipper in the morning. "Is Emma joining us?"

Nat smiled, "Morning. Probably not."

Steve stood up, "Maybe I can bring her a plate."

Bucky put his plate in the window for the chefs to take back, "I'm going to work out. Think the princess will ever come out of her room?" He grabbed some bacon and started to snack on it as he walked out the door, not waiting for answer.

"Be nice Bucky. She needs time." Nat snapped at him.

"Nat. Want to join me?" Steve looked over at her.
