Bucky,

You've been under for 6 months, 2 days and 13 hours. Shuri says she's coming close and that you'll be out in less than a month, at best.

Stuff with the Accords have gotten better and I've moved into the Avenger's tower with some contingencies, but we'll get to that when you wake up and recover from this mess.

I've been thinking a lot about my last letter, and I realized that I do have some guild left over from Europe.

I should have sent you home.

I know I've never really been the one to speak up about what's right for you, but I shouldn't have let you stay.

Maybe if you would have went home, you wouldn't have fallen off that train. You'd have went home to Dot and had a couple of kids, instead of brainwashed and used as someone's boogeyman.

I should have looked for you.

I should have looked for you.

The boys of the 107th said there's no way you would have survived and the mission was of the most importance.

I knew they were wrong. I could feel it.

Then I crashed the plane and the rest is history.

Sometimes my nightmares are of you falling. Of losing the grip of my best friend and had I held on a little longer, we may have died together back then. And none of this would have ever happened.

Maybe I will show you the letters. At least this one.

So you can know how sorry I am that I let you go.

Yours,

Steve
