And nobody'll have to chase him all over Europe.

[Unlike what they had to do to find some people. Just saying.]

[reconstitution]

Right.

[ Listen. He was perfectly happy hiding in Romania not bothering anyone and shopping at the local farmer's market. And then someone decided fuck him. ]

[Sam hesitates again, does something with his noodles before he turns around and speaks again.]

He gave it to me.

['It', of course, is the shield. That's implied. Sort of.]

[reconstitution]

Oh. [ It makes the most sense, really. Sam will take care of it. He just really didn't think Steve was going to physically let it go. It's whatever Steve thinks is best, and Sam's the best person to give it to. ]

He must think you've earned it. Congratulations, Wilson.

[wingedman]

Not so sure what I did to earn it.

[Sam makes a bit of a face. Yeah, maybe he's uncertain about deserving the shield. He's perfectly willing to take care of it - at least to keep an eye on it in his quarters. But carrying it is another thing entirely.]

[reconstitution]

He must've seen something. Steve doesn't misjudge people very often.

[ Bucky can't imagine the pressure of even holding it for safe keeping. There are a lot of expectations and he knows for damn sure he's not that person. It's good Steve has Sam for that. ]

[wingedman]

I know he doesn't, it just feels- hard. To live up to everything he did.

[Which he knows is how Steve feels; that's the entire point. He just doesn't think he's any more worthy of it than Steve is.]
