She lowered her gaze, fiddling with the hem of her nightgown, an odd habit she had when she was nervous. "I...I just came down for some water... I wasn't going to be up long, but then I saw you came in. Why were you outside?"

            It had been far too long since the male had fed. And in hopes of preventing Becca from worrying or catching him, he'd left in the middle of the night. But he didn't expect his little sister to be the first thing he saw once he'd returned. James froze in place upon confrontation. His hand rose to his chin, swiping and looking down at his fingertips. He inhaled sharply at the sight of crimson.  She was right. Bucky quickly attempted to wipe it away with the back of his black shirt sleeve. "You're supposed to be in bed. Why are you up?" He questioned, quiet and gruff as his gaze flickered away.

            "Ah, no. Can't say that I have. Sounds like an interesting combo so I'll probably give it a try some time."

She watched his reaction, glad he was thinking over such things. She knew he needed a break from all this fighting as well. Especially when he was finally free from Hydra’s grasp. She shifted her hand so their fingers laced together, most people would dislike the coldness from his hand. She on other hand, enjoyed it. It was a contrast to her warm. “Well, I’m not sure who... Was thinking maybe Sam. Don’t laugh though, he’s the only one besides you that I know won’t screw around with my shield.” She explained with a little smirk. Him and Sam definitely had an interesting relationship that was for sure. Though maybe it was good thing she was around or else they would have gone for each other’s throats by nowZ

            His eyes flicker toward the floor at the thought of that. That was true. Each mission could be the last. Your life is a ticking clock. He remembered that feeling when following Stephanie into battle all those years ago. But under Hydra, that kind of thinking didn't matter. He was expendable. Bucky looked up when she came closer, a fond smile forming at her laugh. Eyes widen a bit at the unexpected proposition, looking down at his cold hand in her's. "A break? I.." It sounded nice. To leave the battles behind. "Who will cover for you?"

            // I WOULD REVAMP MY CLINT BUT I DONT REMEMBER THE PASSWORD HHhhH
            
            I can only imagine. What was added to the list?

            // MUST BE NICE ;-; THOSE WERE THE GOOD TIMES
            
            *he nodded sympathetically* Sounds like a solid piece of advise. How was adjusting for you?

            *mismatched hands were shoved in sweater pockets, though he remained wary* Was it your choice?

@ToughBeauty 
            
            Bucky turned at the sound of his name, pausing under the woman's intense gaze. "Peggy?" He didn't think he'd see her again. "Yeah, it's me. I-.." How do you explain you're undead? "That's kind of a long story."

            Steve definitely changed, something was off about him. His behavior and skin tone. There was a nagging at the back of his mind of what he suspected, but he didn't want to believe it. And what is Bucky supposed to say? 'Oh, Hydra stripped my humanity to turn me into a literal blood-thirsty killer.' Brows furrow and his eyes briefly glance away. "I'm fine, Steve. Nothing's.. changed," he replied, mismatched hands stuffed in the sweater he usually wore. "Now answer mine."

            *he huffs with a half-hearted roll of the eyes* yeah? You're lookin' pretty pale yourself, pal. *eyes then squint at the blonde* Really pale. You feeling okay?

She laughed. "You call that taking care of us? You played connect the dots on my face when I had Chicken Pox!" She teased playfully.

@SoldiersSister 
            
            He let go of his sister and sat up staight, frowning a bit to himself. He must be confusing the poor thing. "We can," he nodded. "We've got each other." He let out a breath of a chuckle. "What can I say? Taking care of a little sister and chronically sick friend for as long as I can remember stuck with me. But I promise. I know I've got a lot to work on."

"Ok..." She mumbled. "Everything seems so strange now... I don't know what to do or what's going on... At least we can be a family again, right? I know you'll keep me safe, but promise me that you'll take care of yourself too. That's always been a problem for you, you never knew when to quit."
