Bucky looked at his daughter and said, "It's not funny, Morgan."
Morgan made a face as she replied, "You're such a grumpy old man, Papa! Have some fun!"
"Show some respect, young lady!"
Arianna chuckled as she retorted, "Uncle Howard used to tell me that. I never listened to that line."
"You know, that's not really helping right now, Ari."
Morgan started laughing as Arianna stuck out her tongue and Bucky rolled his eyes. She had missed how much fun her aunt was. Sure, Arianna hadn't known why Bucky was always at Tony's at the time, but knowing that the two were married and the stories Bucky had told her on the ride to Wakanda, everything they had done since the Battle at the Compound made so much more sense.
Shuri broke up the family comedy by asking, "Will anyone else be coming with the not-so-tiny one?"
"Ooh!" Morgan said, jumping at the opportunity. "Can I invite Sam and Freddie?"
It was Tony's turn to make a face as he replied, "Absolutely not! Puckett is like a hangry Hulk at best!"
"She's not that bad! She's-" Morgan tried to think of the right words "-spirited and fun!"
Bucky decided to put his foot down and said, "Morgan Howard Barnes-Stark, you were told no!"
Morgan just laughed as she left the room to make the call with Shuri. "Sorry! Can't hear you!"
Steve was surprised and asked, "Is she always this defiant or is this just a special occasion?"
Bucky smiled through his exasperation. "Always. She's so much like Tony, it's as adorable as it is crazy."
