Hm. Yeah, I met him briefly. He cut and ran.

You know that the other Avengers from my world and I would be happy to help reach out to him. He might not be thrilled about taking it, but we can try.

And at least we can be here if he needs help.

Two of us and another version of himself. I guess if we can't get through to him, nobody could.

If he spends time talking to Bucky, I think he'll open up. Maybe he just needs someone that knows where he's coming from.

[Not that Steve doesn't understand his best friend, but it's different when going through the things Bucky went through. Losing his memory and being forced to do things against his will.]

I know that he won't let him keep running. He wouldn't want anyone to suffer like that alone.

What about you? How are you taking all of this?

I'm handling it.

[steve probably has a point about bucky knowing where his counterpart is coming from. it's likely the same for him, steve understanding what lies beneath the surface of those words. it's not easy, it hurts him, but if there's one thing he - they - are good at, it's enduring.]

I'm sorry about all this. You've probably got enough on your own plate.

[Steve saying that he's handling it is about as reassuring as Bucky telling him there are no problems. It's just that he won't admit to them.

Much like Steve.]

You think I don't have enough time to listen to you? I would be a pretty lousy Steve Rogers if I couldn't make time to help another version of myself and his partner.

We can handle it together.
