Before either could react, the car door opened, and out stepped a familiar figure: Nick Fury. His ever-steady gaze scanned the surroundings as he adjusted his eyepatch, looking every bit the no-nonsense leader he was known to be.

"Don't worry or freak out," Fury called out, his voice carrying a note of authority that quelled the rising tension. "I know it's a surprise, but we've got some old friends with us."

Sam's eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth slightly agape as he tried to process the sight before him. Bucky's face was a mixture of stunned surprise and a deep, almost painful joy. He took a hesitant step forward, as if to confirm that what he was seeing was real.

Steve's gaze met Bucky's, his expression a mix of relief and familiarity. "Bucky. Sam." Natasha, ever the master of understatement, gave them a small, knowing smile. "Long time no see, boys."
