   Summary

   Steve came back.

   Bucky couldn’t believe his eyes as he saw him standing on the platform. Everyone but them smiled, proud of another successful mission, satisfied they didn’t lose Captain America to the quantum realm. But Bucky knew what Steve sought to do, and wondered what could’ve ever stopped him…surely nothing could’ve ever changed his mind.

   Steve turns to him with a warm smile covering his face. How many years could it have been? A soft sense of betrayal bubbles deep within him, “What are you doing here?”

   Sam and Bruce’s celebration dies the moment those words leave his mouth. Steve turns to them and asks for some space as he steps down the platform. He leaves behind a leather suitcase where he had been standing.

   “Let’s go for a walk.”
