Bucky sighed contently. It was nice to be able to be up and having fun instead of at the hotel napping, "Can I go for a walk?"
Rhodes opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by the blond coparent spoke up first, "Yes, just take Tony with you."
"What makes you think I want to go?" the genuis asked from his sketchbook. As usual, even on vacation he was thinking about his suits. And he did need to update Jarvis.
Steve took the book from him, "Why are you drawing in my book? Go for a walk with your big brother so he isn't alone."
Tony pouted to Rhodey, "Why do I have to?"
"I think you need a nap," he commented.
The man rolled his eyes and stood up, "Fine, I'll go for the walk."
Bucky wasn't about to argue, he figured it was all or nothing. They probably really wanted the brat to get some fresh air and exercise that didn't involve him lifting metal. He took his little brother's hand and started off on a walk.
"Meet us back here in twenty!" Rhodes called out as they walked.

Tony looked about the area and hatched up an idea, "Hey, ever heard of River country?"
"No, what is that?"
He smirked, "Well it's a part of disneyland that got banned. It's like full of experiments and stuff." This peaked Buck's interest. "They have pickled snakes and stuff, want to see them?"
"How would I see?"
"Well I can't tell you," he smirked.
The metal armed man looked to the area and to his brother again, "Where is this area?"
Tony paused, "What for?" he looked to a map, "We're not too far from it."
"Then lets go," Buck pulled him along.

After a bit of manuevering through brush and hiding from security they found the fenced area. It was a little off in the distance but was not joked with.
"So thats it?" Bucky looked at the tall, chainlinked fence that was about twenty yards away.
"Yep, thats where all the secrets are," the genius nodded, "Whelp, time to go back now," he clapped his hands and started walking off. After a few steps he realised Bucky wasn't following him and turned. Bucky was going towards the fence.
"What are you doing?" the genius asked.
"I want to see if you were telling the truth. See this place myself," Buck said simply. What Tony had told him seemed interesting.
"What? You can't go in there, it's condemned," he hurried to him.
"So, they won't catch me." he shrugged. He had gone off the grid for a while with ease, this would be a walk in the park.
"No. No, no, no it's not about being caught, it's about how mama and Steve are expecting us..."
"So, they know we're on a walk," he continued, ignoring his younger brother.
"We have a time limit."
"And I won't go over the limit."
"The walk here alone was probably over the limit!" Tony was getting more nervous as Bucky got closer to the fence and he hurried around in front of him and began pushing at his chest, "You are not going over there, you'll get yourself, or me, or us killed."
"I've survived being flash frozen and a barrage of bullets, I think I can explore an empty lake," he tried to walk around.
"No, you are not going to go over there," the younger man said firmly, "Now turn your Full Metal butt around so we can get back."
The 91 year old gave him a barely amused look before picking him up and setting him aside and continuing on his course.
"Bucky! Stop!" Tony growled and dove on him. The former weapon must not have expected that because he actually got knocked over, "You are not going over there!"
"Get off Tony!" he pushed at him, "Give me one reason why I shouldn't."
"Asides us getting in trouble there is a brain eating disease in those waters," he held tight to him.
Buck rolled his eyes and pushed at his brother's face, "That is the worse lie you could've come up with. Now get off!"
"It's not a lie, dummy!" Tony pushed, still trying to keep him down.
As they bickered Tony's phone began ringing. Daddy Steve was trying to get a hold of them since they had disappeared off their picnic area and he wanted them back in sight. He tapped his foot and waited patiently as the phone eventually went to voicemail.
"Tony isn't answering his phone," he told the coparent, "They must be distracted or something."
"The 'or something' is you going to look for them, correct?" Rhodes put away the tupperware.
"Where am I suppose to find them if they don't answer the phone?"
James just took the man's phone and tapped rapidly at it, before handing it back, "There are his coordinates. I had Jarvis politely put tracking devices on all his stuff, and person. So go and..." he paused, grabbing Steve's phone back and pulling out the map, "Go get them now!"
The sudden shout startled the old man, "What, why?"
"They're by the condemned area. Go get them now."
Steve put hands up, "Ok, ok, I'm going right now," he nodded and hurried off. Those two were always into something. But then again that was Bucky's nature. Mix it with the boundary resist nature of Tony and it would be mayhem.
