Bucky stared at her for a moment, then gingerly shook her hand. "Bucky."
Head tilted to the side, Pepper studied him. "We should be there soon, but if you're hungry, we have sandwiches."
Bucky shook his head. "No, thanks." He flicked a glance toward the front of the plane and saw Steve watching them.
Pepper, watching the interaction, smiled again. "He worries about you."
He didn't answer and Pepper rose, looking at the watch on her slender wrist. "I'd better get back to Tony before Natasha finds out he's cheating."
"She already knows," Bucky said involuntarily, then flushed.
Pepper laughed.
