    Summary

    This was what “retirement” looked like: an apartment in their old neighborhood in Brooklyn, with big windows and wooden floors. Three bedrooms – one for Bucky, one for Steve, and one for guests, usually Sam or Nat, or very occasionally, Clint. A small but serviceable kitchen. Soft couches. Down comforters. Bucky had expected Steve to be a whirlwind of activity, volunteering with the VA or the fire department or visiting local schools or whatever ex-superheroes did, but to his surprise, Steve showed no inclination towards his usual busy get-shit-done attitude.

    “I'm taking a year,” Steve said, when Bucky asked. “A year before I start thinking about what comes next. I just want to hang out, be a normal guy again, you know? Just for a little while. But if you want to find a job, or –”
