{After saving the Holmes and helping Loki in their London misfortune, B.J, Bucky, and Steve get a ride back to the states}
After a week since helping Loki and posting the now viral video, B.J and Bucky were talking about moving. "Wait, you want to go to your old home of Brooklyn?" she asked before drinking her soda. Bucky nodded. "I just wanted to get your take on this. I've been thinking of living back in New York for a while and it would be best since Steve and the Avengers would be there in case something happened." Bucky said. B.J leaned in her chair. "Well, it's not like I'm going to be missing anyone here. I know some guys up there, so I would be okay with it. I've just been in Virginia my whole childhood, but a change would be okay." she said getting up to throw the empty can away. Within a few months, they were in an apartment in New York, close to the tower where Steve was since he was B.J's godfather. B.J didn't know he was her godfather and Bucky forgot to tell her. "Hey, Papa, where's my comic books?" B.J called from her room. Bucky came in with a box. "Here. You left them in the car." he said sitting them on her bed. B.J dug in them and started reading one he didn't recognize. "Where'd you get that?" he asked. It was an issue from World War two. "Oh, Phil gave it to me when I was little. It's my favorite one because it was my first one. I've always looked up to Steve and you, even before they found him in ice and you took down S.H.I.E.L.D." B.J said looking from the comic. Bucky chuckled and shook his head. "Don't attack S.H.I.E.L.D, trust me. Stay with the good guys, got it?" he said walking out to order a pizza. It's been a long day and he hadn't put the dishes and cooking stuff away.
B.J came out to the promising smell of cheese when the pizza came and they started watching a movie. So far her PTSD attacks have lessened slightly and they weren't as frequent. They would only come during the night or after a job working with S.H.I.E.L.D. After eating and watching the movie, Bucky went out to play cards with Steve and Clint. B.J went to bed a little after he left. "Hey, Buck." Steve called. Steve and Bucky were walking to the tower to catch up. "So, how's Little Bucky?" Steve asked. Lately, a lot of heroes in the hero community have been referring to B.J as Little Bucky. "She's been getting slightly taller, but I think she won't break five five. She grew up and I wasn't there." Bucky said half of that in a quiet whisper. Steve heard it over the New York traffic and pulled Bucky into a park where it was quieter. "You haven't missed everything else that's important. If she gets married, you can walk her down the aisle still, right?" Steve said with a warm smile that only he could pull off to cheer Bucky up. Bucky smiled a little at the attempt. "At least I heard her first words before Fury took her." Bucky said looking at the cloudy dark sky. "See? Didn't miss a lot. You were there the best you could and you're here for her when it counts. Fury introduced me to her before you asked about her and I could tell she needed someone to be a parental figure. Then, you came along and look now. Bucky, you were always there for her." Steve said with a light in his eyes. Bucky looked at the blonde and his smile grew slightly. Shaking his head, he wrapped an arm around Steve's shoulders. "Geez. How do you know what to say to help people?" Bucky asked. They chuckled a little as they took a detour to the tower for cards. They were only ten minutes late and they started. With a string of luck, Bucky took home the money before midnight. He got home without getting mugged which was a good thing because he didn't want to lose the whole five-hundred thousand. He made sure B.J was in bed before he himself went to sleep. With the enemies they have, Bucky always made sure she was safe before he fell asleep. A whirring sound outside got his attention and he looked out the window sideways. A man in a blue suit jumped out and ran into the building and up the flight of stairs. Bucky went to answer the knocking at the door. "Hi, could I come in?" the odd man asked. Bucky saw urgency in the odd man's eyes and let him in. "I'm the Doctor and I need help in the past." Bucky was confused and got the guy to sit. "What?" he questioned quietly. Doctor saw B.J waking up a little and took Bucky outside. "It concerns B.J. I need your help in the past." Doctor said. Bucky sighed and reluctantly left with the Doctor. They ran into the blue police box. "Holy Christ!" Bucky was in awe at how it was bigger on the inside than the outside. "This is the TARDIS. This allows me to travel time and space." Doctor said walking around with his arms wide. "Now hold onto something." he added as he pressed some buttons here and a lever there. Bucky held onto some railing as he was jostled about through the time stream. As fast as they got in, they got outside. "Come on." Doctor said leading the way through a hallway in a S.H.I.E.L.D facility. "Okay, just as I promised, the Winter Soldier. Well, not the exact one. He's from the future." Doctor announced going into a room. Fury, Natasha, and Phil were there. Everyone in the room took out a weapon when Doctor announced Bucky into the room. Bucky got ready to fight if he had to. "It's okay. See? Not in his uniform, no weapon. He's here to help us." Doctor said, defusing the situation. "What could he do to help us?" Phil questioned. Bucky looked confused as he was told to sit at the conference table. "Depends on what the situation is." Bucky answered. Fury sighed and handed him the file. "It's Jessica. She ran away when I talked to her about you. We haven't found her." the director answered. Bucky didn't need to look at the file. "How old is she?" Bucky asked. "Nine." Natasha answered. Bucky was taken seven years into the past.
