i shook her shoulder lightly and swiped some of the fluffy hair from her face. she groaned rolling over into her pillow, "what?" i chuckled lightly at the girl flipping her back to face me. "look j i've gotta go to wakanda." she opened her eyes at that. the only times i had left the sanctum was to go visit the other avengers that were in hiding or to go check on bucky when he was still in cryo. "is everything ok with mr. bucky?" she tilted her head making her hair fall around her head like a halo. "he just woke up and he needs someone with him." i had explained his situation to her and she got it pretty well thankfully. she was extremely interested in meeting the man that had purposely turned himself into a human popsicle and i had promised her she'd get her chance to meet him once he was stable.

"when will you be back?" she sat up in her bed as she rubbed her eyes. i bit my lip at the question, steve was constantly moving and there was no telling when he would be able to get there so i couldn't leave bucky alone. i knew better than anyone what that felt like. i sighed bringing the girl into a hug which she instantly returned. "i don't know but it's not gonna be like last time i promise." she didn't like when i left as she immediately started to think it would turn out like it did when the avengers split up. "can i come with you?" her voice was muffled against my chest as she squeezed me tighter. "not right now but once bucky is comfortable you're gonna be the first one to meet him." i could feel her smile against my shirt as she nuzzled into me more. i chuckled to myself as i rubbed her back, "besides i guess it gives you more time to learn some new stuff with stephen and wong."

she perked up at my words as she leaned back a little so i could see her grin up at me. she had advanced pretty fast, especially for her age. "maybe i'll finally be able to beat mr. strange before you get back!" i laughed at the thought of the sorcerer supreme getting beaten by an eleven-year-old. "i'd expect nothing less of you."

the first few weeks that bucky was awake you could tell just by looking at him he was still scared. not of where he was but he was still scared of himself. after shuri, t'challa's genius little sister, had examined him and made sure he was healthy he was sent to the outskirts of wakanda. in the village, he found peace gradually in the daytime. at night every few weeks, he would meet with one of the heads of the dora milaje to test his state of mind.
