Summary
“There are a multitude of universes and in all of them there is one constant, Captain Rogers. Do you know what that might be?” She asks as she walks around him. It's clear she isn't expecting an answer.
He follows her movements with his eyes, the only part of him that he has control over.
“The one constant across all universes and all time is one Steve Rogers for every James Barnes. Always.”
She comes around to face him again, but directs his attention to the side where images have started to appear, ghostlike and faded, but unmistakable. A Steve for every Bucky and a Bucky for every Steve.
“Do you see, Captain Rogers?" She asks. "The multiverse is not to be trifled with.”
“A Steve for every Bucky,” he says, “but it’s not me. It’s not me, not anymore. Bucky deserves someone who can love him right and that he can love in return. That’s what I’m trying to do.”
He’s crying, he can feel the tears stream down his face. He cries for what he’s lost and for what he will lose when he returns to his own time. “I’m not the one that can love him best, not like he deserves.”
But he knows who can.
