The surgery goes so well and so easily it's almost a non-event. The longest part is the few hours Bucky spends after the removal of the shattered metal joint sleeping in the lab as his shoulder heals at an exponentially faster rate than usual. By the time Sharon comes from her morning with Ross and T'Challa to pick him up from the lab, he's awake and alert, his shoulder neatly covered with a black pad that straps across his chest.

"Hi," she greets him, strolling into the medical recovery area of the lab with a smile, dressed casually and comfortably in the light clothes Nakia left for her. "You look great. How do you feel?"

“Yes.” Simply said, with a depth of feeling that goes all the way to his bones.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been more at peace.”

“Maybe you’ll get a chance to get to know Wakanda without all the excitement,” he says, a little dryly. “I bet Nakia would jump at the chance to show you around.”

He can still hear T’Challa’s quiet plea to the other woman, can still see the way she smiled and he smiled in return. He’s so happy for them both, and the more Nakia can do from here, the better it’ll be.

“Mm-hm.” Very, very soft. Almost absently, he starts running his hand up and down her back.

"Sleep if you want," he murmurs. "It's nice here."

"Not even a little," he assures her.

He smiles down at her, and it's warm and sweet and quietly content.

"Not even a little," he repeats, amused.

"That's me," he agrees, easily.

"I had an inkling. Which is good, because I like you a lot, too."

"Do I?" he murmurs, as he turns his face into her hair. "Too cool?"

"Hm." He breathes in her sun-warmed scent, slow and deep, and places a light kiss on the crown of her head.

"Well, you shouldn't have any doubts."

He holds her a little closer as she relaxes against him, warm and alive and safe.

"Good," he murmurs.

"I will," he says, softly. "Later. Steve may have told Natasha already, but you're right - they'd want to know. Probably."

"Definitely later. Otherwise Yelena might try to hitch a ride with Steve."

He sounds very wry about that.

"Besides, there's no need to move right now."

"See?" he asks, at her laughter. "Exactly."

He runs his hand up and down her back once more, then puts his arm further around her and rests his hand at her hip.

"I am. Are you?"
