Steve woke up the next morning when he heard fire engines getting close. Bucky was still asleep, but it wouldn't be long before the noise would startle him. Steve suddenly smelled something burning, he got up, slowly and carefully untangling himself from Bucky, then went to the front door. Something was burning in the apartment below his floor.

And from what Steve can tell, it smells like turkey. These elderly people do this every year, it wasn't funny and could put him out of his apartment, but still there was a store not even ten minutes from them. It wouldn't hurt to buy a pre-cooked turkey.

Steve went back in his apartment, the smell had gotten worse and that meant Bucky was probably smelling it too. He went in the bedroom and saw that he and Harley was gone. Steve kneeled down and lifted the bed skirt. Bucky and Harley were there.

"Hey guys, it's okay." Said Steve. Bucky looked at him from under his blanket and shook his head.

"Loud."

"I know. The people below is burning their food. Do you want to go to the tower?" Bucky nodded. They came from under the bed, Bucky kept his ears covered. Steve gave him a bath and tried to fix breakfast. Then there was a knock, Steve opened the door to a fireman.

"Hey, there's a small fire below you. You have to leave."

"Okay." Breakfast was going to have to wait. Steve wrapped the pies. He didn't have time to put Bucky's and Harley's harness on. Luckily, Bucky was already clinging onto him and Harley would follow Bucky everywhere. Steve packed a few clothes, diapers, bottles of milk, tablet, and the paci with the kitty attached.

"Lamby, Star." Said Bucky. Steve went in the bedroom and got the two animals. They had a lot of stuff to carry outside.

"Okay, I'm going to put your book bag on you. And you have to hold your animals." Steve put the bag on his back and gave Bucky his animals.

"You ready?" Bucky grabbed Steve's shirt and followed Steve outside with Harley following them. They got in the car and went to the tower.

Once they got upstairs, they could smell food that wasn't burning. They got to the main floor, a large table was already set up. Tony, Pepper, and Nat were in the kitchen cooking.

"Mommy." Said Bucky. Nat looked at Bucky then smiled.

"Hey, we weren't expecting you for another hour or two." She said kissing his head.

"There was a fire in the apartment below us, so we left." Said Steve.

"Wow." She said.

"Here are the pies. I'm going to put him in the bedroom so he can relax and eat." Steve put the pies on the table and brought Bucky to a side room. Bucky got comfortable pretty fast.

"Hungry."

"All I have for you right now is granola. I think you'll like it." Steve put some in a cup and fill his bottle half of milk. Bucky wasn't too into the granola, but was fine eating it. Then he smelled the air.

"Bad."

"Something's burning, as usual."

"HOW CAN YOU BURN MILK?!" Yelled Pepper. Steve smiled and told him it was normal. After a while, Bucky started to fall asleep. Harley jumped on the bed to keep him company. Steve left them alone and went in the kitchen. The stove was covered in fire extinguisher, Pepper was shooting death glares at Tony and Nat was turning on thr stove fan.

"All this from burned milk?" Said Steve.

"It was mashed potatoes that were too loose, I let them sit on the fire too long." Said Tony.
