Steve sighed as he took off his cowl. Ultron was gone and it was left to him and Nat to train the new Avengers.
Since Bruce was stranded in the middle of nowhere, Thor left to go see Jane Foster, and Tony and Clint went home to spend time with their families, it was left to Steve and Natasha to be the Avengers. Of course, along with Vision, Wanda, Sam, and Rhodey.
He smiled at the thought of them as he collapsed onto the bed, falling asleep.

He unfurled his hand and let his shield fall into the Potomac. "I won't hurt you. You're my friend."
Bucky growls and lunges forward, tackling him onto the floor of the helicarrier and repeatedly punching him. As he was about to punch again, he hesitated.
"You're my friend." Steve took the pause to try to remind him.
"You're my mission." he growls in response. "Then finish it. Cause I'm with you till the end of the line."
Steve gave a small, tired smirk at Bucky before the helicarrier floor gave out under him, seeing Bucky hanging onto the support beam.

Steve woke up in a sweat to hear knocking on his door. He checked his clock to see that it was 3 pm. Who in their right mind was up and knocking?
As he blindly stumbled through the apartment, he heard a male sigh.
He grabbed his shield, more alert and awake now, and silently stepped closer to the door, opening it ever so slightly. Long, dark hair and a glint of silver met his eyes.
He opened it all the way as his eyes widened with shock, bending down to crouch next to the trembling figure.
"Bucky?"
