"What happened here?" Tony asked, watching James limp out of the Quinjet, then he saw Bucky and mumbled "...and why is he here?"
Meanwhile, Torrun had left her bungalow to meet James. "Bucky?!" She exclaimed.
"Torrun!" He answered and took a knee as he saw her jogging towards him. Torrun wrapped her arms around him.
"You know each other?" James questioned. Bucky looked over at him as he was standing up.
"You don't remem-" he interrupted himself, "When Torrun's father...sent her here, I raised her. Well, until Ultron attacked. You guys were really close." James nodded.
"Do you-" Torrun stopped, thinking that didn't sound Asgardian enough, "I mean..." she couldn't think of anything and sighed "Do you want me to show you our home?"
"Sure" Bucky responded; putting his arm around her.
"I'm gonna go change" James told his father.
"Okay" he responded. As James was walking away, Steve happened to glance at Tony who had a look that said "WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING?!"* Cap sighed and walked over to him, deciding to resolve the issue right away. "Hi Tony" he mumbled in a voice with no enthusiasm. A muffled 'Hey Steve' was his response.
"Look, he's my best friend and I got his place blown up. He's not a bad man Tony, I don't know why you resent him so much!" Tony replied with a fake laugh.
"You know well enough why I don't like him." He said
"That wasn't him, it was a weapon of HYDRA. He knew your father! Heck, they were friends. Buck wouldn't have even thought about that on his own. Tony, they took away his thoughts and memories and everything, and replaced it with HYDRA; they tortured him!" Steve paused knowing he was getting to emotional and loud, "The point is he's a completely different person, and you should get to know him before-" he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm a guest here and I should've asked you before I invited him to stay. I'm sorry."
"There's a bug with the training room, I'm going to go fix it" he half waved to Steve over his shoulder.
*****************************
Steve woke up at around 3 with a smile on his face. Seeing Bucky and Torrun together had sparked a memory for him.
Bucky had come over to his house with Torrun. Within an hour James and Torrun had tired themselves out with tag and some pretend game, so they wanted to go inside. So obviously, him, Nat, and Bucky who were supervising/talking went inside with them. He put on a jazz record and sat down next to the record played on the far left side of the couch. Natasha sat beside him and Bucky was sitting across from them in a recliner.** James was always fascinated with machines when he was younger. The moving parts of the phonograph started to catch his eye, so he climbed over Cap and sat on the arm of the couch watching the spinning record and the needle playing it. This repetitive turning soon put him to sleep. Steve caught him as he started leaning towards it and set him on his lap. Then, James laid his head on his father's chest and wrapped his arm around his back. Steve smiled, and James was out for the count in a minute. Torrun, on the other hand was awake, fiddling with the laces of Bucky's combat boots. He remembered feeling so happy that day. His wife was on his right, his son in his arms, and his best friend across from him. He thought that these days were over when he was taken prisoner by Kang, but maybe they weren't exactly. Bucky was on his bed (he took the floor), James was right next door, and Torrun was within a minutes walking distance from them. Natasha was gone...but at least now he had the rest of his family.
