"Welcome, Sergeant Barnes."

Bucky looked around to find the person who just spoke but didn't see anyone.

"You'll get use to that." Steve said. "Jarvis is like an invisible butler."

"Please let me know if there is anything that I can assist you with, Master Barnes." the voice stated.

"Yeah...I'll let you know."

Steve lightly chuckled. Bucky's reaction to Jarvis was the very same he'd had when he first moved into the tower. It had taken him about two months to get use to Jarvis. He hoped that Bucky would get use to it quicker than he had.

"This is a lot just for one person." Bucky said as he looked around the suite he was given by Tony.

"I felt the same way when Tony convinced me to move in." Steve said. "A lot of the rooms on my floor I still don't use."

"Catain Rogers. Sergeant Barnes. Dinner is ready and everyone has already gathered in the dinning room." Jarvis announced.

"Thank you, Jarvis." Steve said and smiled at his friend. "Get ready to see twice as much food as you and I ever ate in three days before we joined the Army."

Bucky followed his friend to the elevator that took them three floors down and let them out on the floor that Bucky had been told was the common floor where everyone gathered for group things.

The two entered the dinning room and Bucky was indeed surprised to see how much food was on the table.

"You guys are finally here." Tony exclaimed. "Old people take forever to get places."

"Get use to that. He loves making fun of actual age." Steve said.

"Come on you two." Pepper said. "Sit down and we can all have a good meal."

Bucky and Steve took their seats and it was only then that the scents of all the foods made Bucky realize how hungry he was. He hadn't had anything to eat the whole day because of being in the SHIELD medical bay to make sure all of his tests and scans came back normal before he was released off the base.

Now it was later in the day and his whole body felt sluggish from the lack of nurishment.

"A toast!" Tony declared as he stood with a familiar drink in hand. "Now we have another war hero among us. Let's show him how awesome the future is."

"That's what you told me and look what happened the second week." Steve stated and caused the others to laugh.

"What happened?" Bucky asked.

"Tony let Steve into the lab and all of the robots took a real liking to Steve. Wouldn't go back to Tony for a month. Needless to say, it was pretty hilarious." Clint answered.

"Pretty annoying." Tony declared.

"You were jealous your gadgets liked Steve better." Pepper stated with a smirk. "Now let's eat."

"I told you to pace yourself." Steve chuckled as he helped Bucky sit on the sofa of his new suite.

"I couldn't help it. That Ms. Potts is a great cook." Bucky replied.

"She is and she loves how she can stuff us silly." Steve said with a smile before turning serious. "Bucky, I think you and I need to talk about what Director Fury told us about the Hydra prison."

"Glad I wasn't the only one thinking that." Bucky said. "Got something in mind?"

"First off, I don't think I want the other Avengers involved in this one." Steve started. "They know about what Hydra has done during the war but they've never seen anything like we did."

"You thinking we should go in alone? Just the two of us?" Bucky asked.

"What do you think?" Steve replied.

"I think you and me need to finish this thing. The old fashioned way." Bucky stated.

"You read my mind." Steve agreed.

"Think he'll dress like a grandpa too?" Tony asked.

"You really need to leave them both alone about that." Pepper said. "How would you like it if someone called your style old fashioned?"

Tony looked at her with mild offence.

"Rock will never be old fashioned." he muttered.

"Sir, I have important news!" Jarvis declared.

"Not now, Jar. I'm trying to make Pepper see that my style will last forever."

"But sir, I'm trying to inform you that Captain Rogers and Sergeant Barnes have departed from the tower!"

"THEY WHAT?!" The group exclaimed.

So, should the story continue?
