The White Wolf's New Life

The White Wolf Returns

Waking up to the Wakanda sunrise one last time brought a sense of calm to Steve's mind. It was probably the most peaceful Steve's mind has been in a long time.

In the two months they've been in Wakanda, Shuri declared Winter free of Hydra's triggers. The youngest was more calmer and Shuri was comfortable to start decreasing his anger pills. The oldest was a bit more active in coming out. Steve figured that the calmer the environment was, the more he came out. But that didn't mean the youngest was going to let him be the dominant mindset. That was the one thing that didn't and probably wasn't going to change.

"Daddy." Bucky said waking up.

"Hey, I should have guessed you would be up early. You remember what today is?"

"See family."

"Yeah, let's get started packing."

"Say bye?"

"Yeah, we can go say goodbye to everyone." Wakandan people woke up with the sun, so everyone should be up by now. Bucky smiled then stretched. Harley woke up and yawned. Steve got up and packed their items in a bag. After they finished packing up, they went to their neighbors saying goodbye to them and their animals. Bucky was a little sad to say bye to Becca, Steve could only smile at them.

They said goodbye to Bucky's teacher. She did a fantastic job teaching Bucky about their culture and the other things he needed to learn. So far, he learned one digit addition and subtraction. Shapes were still a bit of a tricky subject for him. His teacher asked when he go back to the states, he try to incorporate shapes into something fun that he likes to do such as swimming. That sounded like a reasonable plan.

They reached the Citadel and went in their old room. Steve packed their clothes while Bucky packed all his stuffed animals. Then there was a knock.

It was T'Chaka and Ramonda. "Hello, we've only came to say goodbye." Said T'Chaka.

"And I will use this opportunity to say thank you for letting us stay and helping him." Steve said.

"You are most welcome and are welcomed back any time. Consider yourselves honorary citizens."

"Thank you, your majesty. Bucky, say bye to them."

"Bye-bye." Bucky waved. After Steve finished packing clothes, he looked over to Bucky who was staring out the window at the rising sun. Steve touched his head, Bucky looked at him.

"You ready to go?" Bucky nodded. Steve got his hand and they went outside. The Dora Milaje was in their usual positions. Bucky waved to each of them then got on the jet. T'Challa and Okoye was there. And Shuri was also here.

"Alright, we are ready to go." Steve said.

"Good, we leave now we can arrive by the morning in the United States." Okoye said. Steve nodded then sat down on the chair. Bucky sat on the floor and played with his buttons. And Harley was laying by his hip. "Taking off." The jet started to lift. Bucky froze in his button pushing when he felt movement. He looked up and saw the Citadel started looking further away. And the city was starting to look smaller. They were really leaving.

"We'll come back to visit soon." Steve said rubbing his head. Bucky continued with his buttons while Steve checked his phone. No messages or calls from anyone which was odd. He could only assume they were probably tired. But a small part of him thought they didn't care anymore. But he had hope.

After long hours of napping and an hour long tantrum from Bucky not listening to Steve, they reached the United States. Steve felt a spark of joy when they passed by Stark Tower. They were getting close.
