Everything’s okay. Everything’s— “Steve?” Steve whirls around, hands poised for a fight without the shield, but it’s just Bucky; no hostiles. He’s standing there, safe, leaning against a tree not ten feet away. “Bucky.” He’s upright and alive and Steve can finally breathe. “Thank fuck, I was starting to—” “Steve,” Bucky says louder, more insistent. “Don’t panic, okay?” - See the end notes for a summary with spoilers and detailed information about trigger warnings.
