Bucky was struggling to contain his own emotions. He'd just gotten Steve back. He couldn't lose him now. Not like this, not here. Not with so much left unsaid between them.
He should have been angry. He should have been attacking this woman who had just stabbed his best friend, possibly fatally. But he couldn't. Not when she seemed just as upset, just as worried. Bucky had nearly killed Steve Rogers once before, while brainwashed. Could he really hold her accountable?
Bucky instead put his arm around her. "He'll be okay," he said. "That punk doesn't know the meaning of the word 'quit'."
Steve woke surrounded by strange women and panicked a little. "Jane? Bucky? Thor?" He tried to move, but was still too weak to do much more than call out.
