Steve was trying to focus on the super screen tv, but he could not keep his mind off of Bucky with Falsworth. He thoughts went back to when he met him. He had bright strong blue eyes and pale white skin, but that does not mean vampire. The only vampire he met was the king himself Dracula, but other than the pale skin Falsworth did not remind him of Dracula. The next time they meet again he would have a closer look at him, he just could not shake the feeling something was just not right.

Steve took out his list to find a movie he and Bucky could enjoy together, he was busy looking at his list he did not see the guard standing over him, nor hear him come in.

"Popcorn Captain?" Said the guard holding a large bucket of popcorn out to him, Steve jumped at his voice.

"How long have you been standing there I didn't even hear you come in." Said Steve jumping from his seat.

" I saw you sitting here looking at this screen Captain Rogers, I thought you might like some hot buttered popcorn to enjoy" Said the guard holding the popcorn out to Steve.

"That's very kind of you, but I like to wait for Bucky to return." Steve said

"Fair enough I shall leave it here for you both to enjoy." As the guard place the popcorn on a table, Steve notice he had long sharp fingernails, with pale white hands. Just like the ones he saw on Falsworth and even Dracula himself.

"Something wrong Captain Rogers?" The guard asked after he notice Steve was looking at his hands.

"You have to excuse me your fingernails are pretty long there." Steve said also notice the guard long hair was down, Steve was used to it up in a long ponytail."

"It's a look I like to have, when I walk among the tourist at night." Said the guard

"Walk among the tourist? " Ask Steve.

"Yes, I walk among the tourist playing a vampire, they love it." Said the guard

"Well, I must say you look the part." Said Steve

"Thank you Captain say why don't you join me for a walk, the night air will do you some good."

Said the guard staring into Steve eyes.

"Thank you, but I will just stay here and wait for Bucky."

"Are you sure Captain a walk in the night air is what you need. Now come with me in the night's air." Steve notice there was something in the guard voice. It sounded more like he was given him a command than a suggestion.

Steve could not explain it, but he felt a strong urge to obey the guards command, he had to fight with all his will.

"Thank you for the invitation but I am staying here, I don't want to go out now leave!" Steve with full force.

"Very well Captain Rogers, I will leave you to your movie, have a good evening. The guard said pulling his gaze away from Steve and then leaving. Steve shook his head and took and deep breath after he left, trying to understand what just happened to him.

An hour later Bucky joined Steve and sat quietly next to him on the couch, Steve decided to break the silence asking him how his first secession went.

"It went good, I spent most the time getting to know him, and he getting to know me." Bucky said.

"How does he seem to you." Steve asked?

"I think we are going to work out well, I have never met anyone like him." Bucky said.

"Wow sound like the guy is pretty good." Steve said.

"He is, I felt like the man could read my thoughts, I look forward to our next secession Bucky said softly eyes wondering off for a moment.

" I have chosen a movie to watch from my list, Sam it's a good one." Steve said to break bucky silence.

"Great I am ready for a good movie, what's it called?" Buck asked reaching for some popcorn.

"Sam says its called "Raiders of the Lost ark".

"Don't know what that is about, but I am ready to watch. Feels good to just sit and watch a movie in peace." Bucky said, and after the incident with the guard and this mysterious John Falsworth, Steve could not agree more.

Meanwhile in a mansion across the city the guard made his way to his host.

"You were to keep Rogers occupied, what happened?" Said the voice of the man looking out into the night air.

"I understood my orders, but Captain Rogers will is surprisingly strong, it will be hard place him under my spell." Said the guard.

"No worries, I had a good session with Barnes placed a spell on him to have a deep peaceful sleep. He will have no nightmares tonight, just dream about his precious Steve. "Said the man.

"They both share the same bedroom." Said the guard

"Really now, I should think they would be all over each other."

"Why do you say that?"

" You forget my dear man, I am now Bucky's therapist. Make no mistake they are in love, and Captain Rogers will do anything to protect Bucky he does not want to lose him again."

"What about Barnes?"

"Same with him, but his memories of meeting us is not clear, he will be easy to control. I will use him to capture Captain Rogers."

"It won't be easy as I said Rogers will is strong, I think he will discover who we really are." Said the guard

"I'm counting on it, by the time he discovers we are vampires his fear of losing Barnes will be his downfall. All you need to do is follow my order as planned." Said Falsworth.

"As you wish, but I must ask what whapped to the therapist that was to help Barnes"

"Well dear boy I had to have a good dinner before I saw Barnes, don't worry I disposed of the body." Said Falsworth turning to face the guard

"My friend you are looking quite pale, why don't you go out into the night catch some dinner."

"Your right I am very hungry." With that the guard left into the night.

When Steve woke the next morning, he was surprised to see Bucky was already wide awake and dressing for breakfast. He should not have been surprised; Bucky slept better than he did, the night before. At no point did he hear Bucky tossing or turning in his sleep or crying out his name. He slept soundly and deeply. The best night of sleep he had since they arrived at the mansion maybe a goodnight sleep is what he needed after all.

"There you are I was wondering when you would wake up." Bucky said bringing Steve out of his thoughts."

"You must have had a good night sleep your awake before me." Said Steve

"Best sleep on a bed I had in years, no nightmares to keep me up." Bucky said

"That session with Dr. Falsworth must have been good." Said Steve

"It was Steve we covered so much; I have not felt this good in years."

"That is great Bucky, I would like to hear all about your time with Falsworth." Said Steve

"You will after you, get dressed I have a whole day planned for us today we are going on a picnic." Said Bucky.

"A picnic?" Ask Steve

"Yeah Steve, you know where you find a nice spot and eat a nice lunch, and breath in the sunshine an air." Bucky said with his humor.

"I know what it is, I am just a bit surprised you want to have one?"

"Why surprised, we've had picnic before?" Said Bucky

"I know, but a few days ago, you hardly wanted to go out, now you want a picnic?"

"I have to thank to Dr. Falsworth for that. Last night I told him about your idea for a picnic and he said it would do me good. I mean had a therapist in Wakanda, but this guy is better. It's like he saw right into my soul." Said Bucky.

"Wow sounds like he is a good guy." Said Steve.

"If you want to hear all about it, get dressed. I will tell you the whole story on our picnic date."

Steve had to admit he was happy to see Bucky this excited, it reminded him of the Bucky old before the war.

After washing and shaving he met Bucky outside of the mansion for their picnic. Bucky had everything pack and ready for their day out, but there was one sight problem. Steve Harley bike was the only one that came with him to the mansion, but Bucky wanted to ride it. Steve suggested that he ride it, he felt Bucky needed more time to get used to his new arm. Bucky insisted he ride it, so for a time they stood there on either side of the bike and had a starting contest, but in the end, Bucky gave in, and Steve drove the bike while Bucky rode in the back.

After enjoying the sites of the land, they pick a spot that Dr. Malcom had suggested. She said that area would be nice and private for them, away from a large crowed. They found a comfortable spot under a large tree to eat their lunch. Dr. Malcom had a bottle of wine cheese, bread, and deli meat for them to eat. The lunch was good, but Bucky was sad no candy bars to eat. After they finish their lunch bucky laid on his back on the blanket with his hands behind his head, while Steve sat and sketch.

"Steve, it feels so good to get out and breath in the fresh air and sunshine." Said Bucky

"Didn't get out and walk around while in Wakanda?" Steve asks

"Yes, I had some breaks to walk in sun. This place is no different it's just much cooler, I will need a jacket when I come out." Bucky said.

"Why don't you tell me more about your time with Dr. Falsworth." Steve asked.

"Right, that is why we are out here." Bucky said turning his face to look at Steve as he sketches.

" Sound like he has made a new man out of you, this is the most excited you have been since you got here." Said Steve.

"He is not like anybody I ever met; I mean in that one secession we cover so much. It's like the man saw right into my soul."

You keep saying that, you make him sound like some sort of wizard." Said Steve

"He is Steve I sleep better now, no more nightmares, I remember things now Steve." Bucky said with such emotion Steve eyes began to swell with tears, he starting to remember.

"I remember going to my family cabin for the summer, and you came with us. I had to trick you take a swim in the lake, do you remember that, Steve?" Bucky ask still looking at him.

"Yes, I do I look forward to it every summer. Then at night we would sit in the cabin and tell spooky stories."

"You were so easy to scare, I got a kick out of it." Bucky said with a laugh. It was good to hear Bucky laugh again; he was happy to see it. Maybe this Dr. Falsworth was not a bad guy after all.

"You should have a session with me Steve, Falsworth could help you to." Said Bucky

"I don't think I need to see him Bucky he is here for you."

"I think you do Steve." Said Bucky, his response surprised him.

"Really why do you say that?" Ask Steve.

"At night when you sleep you scream my name; do you have nightmares Steve? If you do Falsworth can help you."

Steve was shocked, Bucky could hear his scream at night, it remined him of the same question Wanda would ask him, the nightmares were still there.

"Every now and then I have a little nightmare its nothing serious." Steve said trying to brush it off.

"You've been having them since we arrived. I am having a session with him tonight, why don't you come with me?" Bucky asked. Steve was not worried about the session; it was more of the fact he was having them only at night.

"Maybe another time Bucky you are doing so well on your own, but why does this guy only have his session at night?" Steve asked.

"I don't know he just does, and don't go into that vampire stuff again. I know we are in the land of Count Dracula, but Falsworth is not him."

" I guess your right Bucky, but I will sit with him one day. For now, you keep working with him he seems to be helping you, and I am happy for that." Steve words put a smile on Bucky face, he was glad to see that he cared.

They stayed a few more hours enjoying the warm sunshine drinking wine and telling stories of their service days, Steve told Bucky of his adventures with the Avengers, he had to admit to himself he was enjoying just sitting talking with Bucky. Just as they did when they were young, he dreamed of sharing this moment with him for long time and he wanted to enjoy every moment. As much as they were enjoying themselves Steve felt it was time to get back. They were packing up, but Bucky was determined to ride the Harley, so he came up with a plan."

"I got a bet for you Steve." Bucky said.

"A Bet?"

"I am getting used to my new arm, so I will bet you I can throw this knife dead center of that tree you were under." Said Bucky.

"Ok so what's the bet?" Steve asked

"If I win, I drive the bike back to the mansion."

"What if you don't make it dead center?"

"You can cut my hair." Said Bucky

"Not only that, you have to watch the movie I pick every night, no excuses. "Steve said

"You got yourself a deal." Bucky said, he picked up the knife paused for a second to size up his distance then threw it. Steve however wished he had not made the deal, Bucky not only hit his mark, but he did it in one try. Bucky turned to him and smiled; Steve had no choice but to let him drive the Harley back, he just prayed they get back in piece, for Buck love to drive fast.

Later that evening Bucky and Steve were informed to join Dr. Malcom in one the main living rooms for drinks. They were both puzzled since Dr. Malcom works late in her lab, but they accepted. They were both escorted to the main living room by the guard, that Steve was starting not to like. When they arrived in the main living room, they were greeted by the sound of music and laughter. Dr. Falsworth was there along with Dr. Malcom, she was sitting at a piano playing music and having drinks with him.

She stopped when she saw them enter the room. Steve noticed her appearance had changed; her long dark hair was flowing down her back. She wore a red scarf around her neck and make up on her face.

"Gentlemen I am so glad you could join us for drinks,I was just entertaining Mr. Falsworth." Dr. Malcom said after finishing her performance on the piano, she rose to fix both Bucky and Steve drinks to serve to them.

"I to am happy you both could join us, I have been enjoying the Doctor's company, you both missed a wonderful piano performance from her she plays beautifully" Falsworth said making Dr. Malcom blush Steve sense she may have a little thing for the therapist, he had to admit he never seen her act this way since they arrived.

"Really Mr. Falsworth you flatter me I am humbled." Said Dr. Malcom.

" I really mean it you are very talented I love to hear you play." Falsworth said looking directly into Dr. Malcom eyes.

"We didn't know she could play sorry we miss the concert, but I am happy to see you again Mr. Falsworth." Bucky said.

"I am happy to see you to Bucky, the doctor tells me you had a little outing today, how was it?" Falsworth ask.

"It was great Dr. Falsworth you were right it was just what me and Steve needed." Bucky replied

"I'm glad to hear that Bucky, and I am glad I finally get to speak with you Captain rogers, Bucky has spoken well of you in our secession." Falsworth said.

"I have to say the same about you, he has told me all you have done for him, he speaks well of you." Said Steve.

"I am glad to hear that, he did great in his first secession." Falsworth said smiling at Bucky."

"I never felt this peaceful in a long time, I can sleep at night no more nightmares, and I owe it all to you." Bucky said to Falsworth, there was so much talk between them Steve was starting to feel left out.

"Give yourself credit Bucky, you are healing as well, and I promise you soon you will never suffer from nightmares again." Falsworth said to Bucky in a sooth almost hypnotic voice reminding him when he met Dracula during that mission, but it could not be him, could it? Steve thought to himself.

"Maybe you can convince Steve to meet with you Dr. Falsworth. Steve is suffering from nightmares, and I've been trying to convince him to see you, but I guess he won't listen to me."

"I would love to help you captain, tell me how long you have been having these nightmares?" Falsworth asked.

"Ever since we got here, they are pretty bad, sometimes I hear him call my name at night." Bucky continued.

"Bucky really there is no need to say all of this, we are here about you." Steve said.

"See what I mean Doc." Said Bucky as Steve tried to direct to conversation from him.

"It's ok Bucky sometimes its hard for some people to face a long-time fear, from what you have told me Captain rogers has a strong will."

"Trust me Dr. Falsworth facing my fear is the last thing I worry about." Said Steve

"I sense that from you Captain Rogers, but I want you to know I can always make time for you. No one should lose sleep over fear of vampires." If Steve didn't know any better, he felt like Falsworth was reading his thoughts about meeting Dracula during the war.

"Why do you bring up vampires?" Steve asked

"Bucky told me during our secessions that you met a man you believed was Dracula, and to this day it still haunts you, plus your right in the heart of vampire folklore I can see why you would have nightmares." Said Falsworth never taking his eyes from Steve as he slowly sipped his drink, Steve did not like the look he was giving.

"Trust me Doctor my nightmares are under control, even the ones from my past." Steve said trying to remain calm.

" I understand Captain Rogers, I just want you to know I am here to help you, I can calm those nightmares."

"Thank you, Doctor, but for now I like for you to keep your focus on Bucky, he is doing well and I like to keep it like that."

"As you wish Captain Rogers." Falsworth said calmy. When Dr. Malcom joined the conversation to talk about Bucky temporary arm, that was Steve cue to excuse himself pour another drink, he needed it. Steve felt there was something not right about that Falsworth, maybe Bucky was right, maybe he can see right into a person's soul.

"Let me get that for you Captain Rogers." The voice of the guard snap Steve out of his deep thoughts, he was pouring Steve another drink and handing it to him. Steve was baffled, he didn't even hear the guard walk across the room, its like he floated.

"Yeah thanks." Said Steve accepting the drink from the guard, he was begging to think maybe he should not drink it. He overheard Dr. Malcom mention Bucky treatment in Wakanda and decided it that was the time to ask Falsworth a few questions.

"Tell me Dr. Falsworth did you work with Bucky therapist to prepare for his case?" Steve asked.

" Yes I did Captain. Shuri was a big help in preparing me for Bucky case I could not have done it without her. "

" I agree, I happy of the help he received. " Said Steve

" I am glad we agree Captain, but I have his case now and I will do everything in my power to make sure he is cured." Falsworth said with his eyes burning into Steve's, a stare he was coming not to like. He did get all the information he needed, and felt it was time to make his exit.

" It was nice talking to you Falsworth but I think I will take my leave for the night." Said Steve.

"Captain Rogers the night is still young can't you stay longer." Said Dr. Malcom surprised by Steve's leaving, Bucky to was also surprised.

"Steve it's not that late, we will still have time to watch our movie together stay longer." Bucky pleaded trying to stop him for leaving.

"If you want to stay you can Bucky, but I have had a long day and like to relax a bit.

"Bucky is right Captain Rogers, please stay longer." Falsworth said as well.

"Thank you all, this has been a wonderful evening, but I must leave good night to you all." With that Steve left, with Bucky watching after him.

Steve sat in the Library in front of the giant wide screen tv, he turned it on but didn't see anything he wanted to watch. He decided to wait for Bucky before he picked out a movie from his list to watch, to past the time away he decided to do some sketching and think about Falsworth words. He could not put his finger on it, but something about that man, did not sit well with him.

In the morning he would get some answers from Dr. Malcom about what's really going on. He never remembered Suri saying anything about him taking over Bucky case, a question he will ask Dr. Malcom about. Deep into his thoughts and sketching he did not hear the footsteps behind him and gentle touch of fingers massaging his shoulders, He jumped at the touch.

"Hay Steve relax its only me." Said Bucky trying to calm Steve.

"Sorry Bucky I didn't hear you come in you startled me." Steve said.

"I did not mean to scare you, I came looking for you after you left."

"You didn't stay with Mr. Falsworth, I thought you had a secession tonight?" Steve asked.

" I decided to leave not long after you left, I got lonely in there without you." Bucky said.

"Mind if I join you, it is movie night for us after all." Bucky asked

"Yeah sure but you should have told me you were coming not sneak up on me like that."

"Sorry Steve, but I thought you could use a good massage, it got a little tense between you and Mr. Falsworth." Bucky said placed his hand back on Steve shoulder and continuing his light massage, Steve did not object.

" Bucky the guy rubs me the wrong way. How much do we really know about him?"

"Dr. Malcom trust him, and he has been a great help to me, they man is good Steve please try to see that." Bucky pleaded still massaging his shoulders."

" I am glad he is helping you Bucky, but I just want to find out more about him, and I intended to do that."

"What do you mean?"

"In the morning I am going to have a good talk with Dr. Malcom about him, where is he from, how long has he been a therapist, and how come I never heard of him in Wakanda."

"You still believe he is the vampire you met doing the war?" Bucky asked.

"No, he does not look like him, but he reminds me of the one I did meet that night.

"I believe you Steve, I just wish I could remember it, you think I would not forget meeting someone like that."

"Don't worry about that Bucky, maybe it's a good thing that you don't." Steve said relaxing from Bucky massage, his temporary arm, cause him no pain at all, in fact he was gentle with his hands.

"Steve I hope your not mad at me for telling Dr. Falsworth about your dreams."

"Its not a problem Bucky, I know you were only trying to help."

"Its just I want you to get the same help he is giving me. When I was hiding, all the years, I hardly slept , all those nightmares of all the killing I did. Now for the first time I don't have them anymore I have peace when I sleep, I just wanted the same for you." Bucky stop massaging Steve shoulders and came to sit next him on the couch.

"It's true Bucky I do have nightmares, but once I get all the answers, I need about what is going on here, then I will seek his help." Steve said giving Bucky a soft smile of confidence. Bucky smiled back, and gently pushed a small strip of hair from his eyes. He then looked down at what Steve was sketching, and what he saw made his heart jump even more. It was a sketch of him on their picnic, laying on the blanket looking at him.

"I 'm happy you never forgot about me Steve." Bucky said handing the sketch back to Steve.

"I could never forget you Bucky, we vowed to be with each other until the end of the line, and I will keep that promise for as long as I am alive." Steve said smiling back and Bucky. Moved by his words he very gentle drew Steve face to his and kissed his lips. The kiss was not strong or forced but soft and gentle inviting him into the kiss, when their lips parted Bucky gentle took Steve hands in his and softly spoke.

"We can go to the bedroom tonight if you like?" He asked gently.

"For tonight can we just sit here together." Steve said softly hoping Bucky would understand, when he saw the small smile on his face, he knew he did.

"I understand Steve we can just lie here together; nothing would make me happier." With that Bucky laid across the couch and rested his head in Steve lap. Steve did not fight it, in fact he gentle played with his hair as he rested.

"What movie did you pick for out movie night?" Bucky asked?

" I thought we try this one called the notebook, don't know what it is about, but sound good."

"Sound good to me?" Bucky said happy to be with him.
