As far as I know, T'Challa, Peter Parker and Bruce Banner are on their way to Wakanda to get the technology needed for the cure. Oh, and Scott Lang, although I don't know how much help a head in a flying cape can be, [he says with a small shrug, almost as if the hilarious mental picture he's just described can lessen the horror of just three survivors with a cure can be.
It's not so hard for Bucky to draw the parallels between this Steve's story and his own, and he gets now why Peggy felt compelled to tell him: he understands the pain behind not being in control of your own actions.
There's a small twitch in his jaw as she mentions Howard, and all Bucky can hope for is that Steve wasn't ordered to kill the man as he had been.]
Did Tony follow in his father's footsteps too in your world?
[He's in the process of taking a sip of his scotch when Carter drops the bomb of his counterpart in her universe, and Bucky inhales the liquor wrong, causing him to choke and cough:]
Wait.....I'm in politics? I really got hit badly on the head falling off that train, huh? [He runs his flesh hand over his face, his mind thinking on how, according to her timeline, her Bucky has replaced Pierce, and all he can hope is that the Bucky she knows isn't the head of HYDRA like Pierce was in his universe. He sobers up quickly before he continues on:]
Yeah, you two have that in common. Not giving up easily on people. And I'm not surprised you got through to him. [His gaze drops to the glass in his hand, swirling it slowly, watching the ice cubes dance in the amber liquid.] It takes a strong connection to break through the conditioning.
[He knows. Which is why the pain of losing Steve in his world is heavy. Mingled with the guilt of having to be the one to end it all makes it all heavier, it seems. And with that darkened thought, Bucky finishes his glass in a single sip, needing the burn of the liquor even if he can't get drunk.]
