    Summary

    "Steve was good," Bucky tells her, but even as he says it, it doesn't sound true.

    Yelena can tell, too. "As good as he was in the Void?" she asks.

    "That wasn't him." Bucky shakes his head and looks down at the sandwich clenched in his metal hand. He had nightmares again for weeks after that. "Steve was... he was my best friend. He was my family."

    Yelena closes one eye and squints at him. “Family like the wife or family like the brother?”

    Bucky makes a face and shoves her so hard she cackles and drops the pickle slice she was about to put in her mouth.

    Summary

    "S-Stiles?" The tanned one croaks, arms falling to his sides. Thomas doesn't know who he's calling to and doesn't care. He shoves past him, grabs the young werewolf on his right and puts the gun to his head.

    He glances towards Teresa and Minho, who form a defensive circle around Newt, who's cradling his injured arm to his chest. Thomas' jaw tightens. He raises his voice, keeps it cool and steady though he knows the werewolves can hear his heart jackhammering against his chest. "Release him. Or I will shoot."

    He scans the room, expects anger but only receives hurt and confused looks in return. Then that boy says it again, with more urgency and Thomas realizes in shock that it's directed at him.

    "Stiles."
