Everyone was now gathered in front of a quinjet and saying their goodbyes.

"Good luck on your mission, Captain Rogers," T'Challa said. "We're gonna need it." 

       Shuri was giving Bucky a hug. "Please don't die on m- out there. I don't think I could handle it. I don't think anyone could handle it." Buck rapped his arms around her and reciprocated the hug. "I'll try my best. And please get out the lab every once in a while."  "I'll try my best."

       Sam was standing next to Okoye waiting for them to rap up. "Sooooooo, you come here often?" She rolled her eyes and walked away. "Okay then," he took a breath, "Guys?! Nat and Bruce are waiting for us!! C'mon!!"

       The two of them nodded, said their final goodbyes, and then the three of walked onto the Quinjet ramp. Sam and Steve went to the flight deck, and Bucky continued waving until the ramp closed. Once they were finally up in the air and out of the dome, Steve put it on auto-pilot and sat across from Bucky, while Sam sat down next to Steve.

       "So, how did Bucky even end up in Wakanda? Last thing I remember of him was murder and mind control," Sam asked.

       "I remembered him. It must have been something he said or did, I don't know what though. We fell into water, and I dragged him to shore. I took off my arm and used what I could find to tie my right one to me. I could have attacked him by kicking him, but it would have been harder to do without my arms to balance."

       "When he woke up, I took him to see Fury. He was able to get in contact with T'Challa since Tony, Bruce, and Helen couldn't help him. They agreed to do it in exchange for information on each of the Avengers and any other teams they plan on assembling."

       Sam nodded. "I can't believe that was already two years ago. It feels like it was just yesterday you and Nat were crashing at my place."

       "It's given me some time to catch up. Buzzfeed: Unsolved is pretty cool. And the Just Dance games are really fun."

       "What's Buzzfeed: Unsolved?" Bucky inquired. "It talks about unsolved murders. I don't think you'd be up for that," Steve replied.

       "No...I'd like to see what that's about." Sam shrugged and said, "Suit yourself."

       There were a few moments of silence before the conversation continued. "So how come everyone was calling you 'White Wolf'? Is there something that happened in your Winter Soldier days that we don't know about? Was that your original code-name or something?"

       Bucky chuckled and looked up at the ceiling. "I'm basically a white guy that was more-or-less adopted by Wakanda. I mean, after everything they did for me, I would gladly put down my life for them, so it does have some truth to it."

       Sam reached over and grabbed Bucky's flesh arm. "I found Waldo! He's right here!" he lifted his other hand and pointed at Bucky's head, "I think the old age is getting to him, he's picking worse and worse places to hide out!" "Shut up." Bucky shook Sam off of him, making Sam temporarily lose his balance and have to grab onto the seat across from him to stop himself from falling.

       About an hour later, they had arrived. Outside was an abandoned airport. Trees and overgrown bushes blocked it from view of the highway, and the exit was blocked off. It was a plain area, but that didn't matter. What did was that nobody would find them there.

       They stood in a row as the ramp lowered, everything coming into view little by little.

       Once it lowered all the way, their two allies were standing there, awaiting their arrival.

       "You're late. For a second I thought that you were gonna stand us up," Natasha joked with her classic smirk on her face.

       "Well, I know better than to upset you."
