    Summary

    And just like that, Bucky Barnes’s political career is over.

    Congress convenes, he resigns, and then he and the Thunderbolts – or the "New Avengers," they're calling themselves now – decide to grab some pizza. They saved the world from an ever-growing Void of fear and bad memories. They've earned a quiet day in together.

    Then Sam Wilson shows up.

    And Bucky just breaks.

    Summary

    With the benefit of hindsight, she cursed herself for how obvious it should have been; the long stretches where they assumed he was busy but never knocked on his closed door to check, the fact he seemed to be around no matter what time of night and the way he never seemed truly comfortable with any of them.

    “Yelena, it’s not your fault.” She looked at him skeptically, and Sam doubled down, “Whatever you think you did, it was likely the straw that broke the camel’s back, with all he’s been through.”

    “I should have known something was wrong,” Yelena’s voice had dulled, and she let her head tip forward until her forehead rested on her knees, talking to the floor, “He did not spend time with any of us, always alone, and it should have been so obvious he was suffering but we did not see it. So blind, when he was so kind and we did nothing in return, not even check on him. Maybe this would never happened if we had just been a good team.”

    Summary

    "I don't know what I'd do if I lost another friend."
