Whatever was the reason behind the Avengers being willing to host Bucky with them, she was quite thankful for it, especially to Natasha and Sam since they had been in the brunt end of the soldier violence. But she had the bit of suspicion it was due to the fact most, if not all of them, understood how important a soul bond was and how awful it was to be without that person. Natasha had been particularly antsy –or as much as she could be, when it had taken Clint quite a bit to return from his last assignment before SHIELD fell.

They all understood and had probably banked on that bond to more or less keep Bucky on line, as tenuous as their bond was it was still there and still had enough of an effect. Which was why she was able to notice the slight irritation on his tone though she could be mistaken as well, they couldn’t read the other as well as they did before, but before she could open her mouth Stark beat her to it.

“Nah, we are not busy at all, Buckster, right Stephy?”

She just looked a bit startled at the new nickname before sighing a bit. “Are you hungry? We were about to have breakfast or at least I was since Tony seems to survive only with coffee.”

A grin appeared on Tony’s face before he wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “Yes do stay with us, we are all friends here, aren't we?”
