She sleeps later than she had the day before – a combination of not having to get up and go to the doctor and exhaustion – and when she comes downstairs, the house is quiet but coffee is already made. After making herself a cup, she pads barefoot to the door and steps out into the crisp mountain morning.

She's unsurprised to see that Bucky is up, and to find Steve's motorcycle gone from the driveway. "Steve head out already?"

"It was nice of you," he agrees, and waves his right hand vaguely at the house behind them.

"All of this is, too. Thank you."

"It's a lot more than 'your part,'" he argues. "You've done more than almost anyone else ever has. Ever."

He shrugs.

"I'll be fine. What matters is making sure the Avengers are safe."

"Okay," he says, "what matters most, then."

He slants a sideways look at her. It's a little wary, and a lot resigned.

"Maybe we can argue about this when we're not waiting to find out if Tony Stark's going to descend like the supposed wrath of God to avenge his parents," he says. "His parents that I murdered in cold blood."

He sighs.

"Maybe not a monster," he says, after a long silence. "It'd probably be easier in some ways if I were."

Bucky draws a slow breath.

"Sharon, I sat there with your parents today and pretended to be normal. Even so, your dad nearly recognized me. You think that would have led anywhere good? I'm not normal. I'm a puppet, HYDRA's murderous wind-up toy, a killer, and an internationally wanted criminal. I don't want to hurt you."

"I would, if I were activated," he says, quietly. "But I wouldn't want to."

A beat of silence, in which the cry of some distant night bird echoes.

"I wouldn't ever want to."

With the moonlight gleaming off the gold of her hair, she looks almost ethereal; angelic, maybe, as she searches his face, as she promises him what's likely to be impossible.

(There's more than one impossible wish here in this moment, and he has to fight to close his eyes against the agony of such hope, not wanting to miss a second.)

"I believe you," he whispers.

"You don't have to," he says, and there's something almost aching in his tone. Carefully, he threads his fingers through hers.

"I need you to know that. I'll be okay, if you don't. I will."

His breath stops just for an instant, and he goes very still.

"But I bring you nothing but trouble."

"Would you."

He sounds a little amused by that.

His hand tightens on hers, very slightly.

"You deserve more."

He shakes his head.

"Don't sell yourself short, Sharon."
