Steve and Y/N stood on a bridge and had a flashback back when they were small. Bucky was taking them back home after their mother's funeral.

"We looked for you two after. My folks wanted to give you a ride to the cemetery," Bucky told them as they made their way to Steve's and Y/N's apartment.

"I know, I'm sorry. We just...kind of wanted to be alone," Steve told him.

"Yeah. It's just been hard," Y/N answered.

"How was it?" Bucky asked.

"It was okay," Steve answered.

"She's next to Dad," Y/N answered.

"I was gonna ask--" Bucky started.

"We know what you're gonna say, Buck, I just..." Steve started.

"We can put the couch cushions on the floor like when we were kids. It'll be fun. All you gotta do is shine my shoes, maybe take out the trash," Bucky explained.

Steve was trying to find his keys until Bucky got the spare key from under a brick and handed it to Y/N, who blushed a little.

"Come on," Bucky urged.

"Thank you, Buck, but we can get by on our own," Steve said as Y/N handed him the key.

"The thing is, you don't have to. I'm with you to the end of the line, guys," Bucky told them.

They smiled and Steve unlocked the door.

"I'll be in a minute, Steve," Y/N told him.

"Okay," Steve responded and went inside, but peeked through the window.

Once he was gone, Y/N felt the tears coming and Bucky immediately noticed. He hugged her and she hugged back as she cried into his chest.

"It's going to be okay, Y/N," he assured as he stroked her back.

"It's just that...I was really close with Mom more than I was with Dad," she sobbed.

"I know. But you're not alone. You never will be," Bucky said.

"Thanks," Y/N smiled, they parted but still held each other, then she requested, "Bucky, can you promise me something?"

"Sure. Anything," he stated.

"You've been with me since the beginning. Promise me that you'll be with me at the end," Y/N requested.

Bucky smiled and placed his hand on her cheek. This made her lean into his touch.

"Y/N, I'll be with you even after the end," Bucky told her.

She smiled, hugged him, kissed his cheek, and told him, "Thank you, Bucky."

"You're welcome," Bucky smiled.

She smiled back and went inside.

Their thoughts of Bucky were interrupted when Sam joined them.

"He's gonna be there, you know?" Sam asked.

"We know," Steve answered as Y/N nodded.

"Look, whoever he used to be, the guy he is now, I don't think he's the kind you save. He's the kind you stop," Sam told them.

"I don't know if we can do that," Steve said.

"Well, he might not give you a choice. He doesn't know you. The only hope of that is if Y/N can get through to him," Sam said.

"He will. And I will do what I can to bring the man I love back," Y/N said then told them, "Gear up, it's time."

The siblings start to walk off.

"You gonna wear that?" Sam asked.

"No. If you're gonna fight a war, you gotta wear a uniform," Steve said.

A guard (Stan Lee) was patrolling in the Smithsonian Museum when he saw the Captain and Lady America exhibit. That's when he saw the Captain America WWII uniform and Lady America WWII uniform from both dummies were stolen.

"Oh, man. I am so fired!" the guard said.

A/N Even though he doesn't remember Steve, maybe you can get through to Bucky.
