You have reached Steve Rogers. I am unable to answer you at this moment. If you would be so kind, please leave a message after the tone with your name, your number, and the best time to reach you. Thank you very much.
One sure fire way to get Bucky to disappear into the literal cold was to push him away by insisting he do what he didn't want to do. Steve tried to school his face, knowing he was still on video, but he couldn't quite hide the worry.
"Okay, all right, I'll try to meet up with everyone but-- If you need anything, even if it's just to talk, we're all still here for you." He didn't single himself out because he was sure that Bucky knew. Somewhere in there was the guy that was his hero all those years ago.
He'd lost Bucky a few days ago to the cold and ice...and now he was doing so again. What irony.
But that he didn't refuse or claim he didn't need help was a silent agreement that he would remember they were all there if he needed them. Tony, Natasha, and even Clint had all said much the same thing. It's strange, having the support of all the Avengers even if he isn't ready to accept it yet.
So he just hangs up the line and hands the tablet back to Nat. Maybe he'll talk to Steve again soon, maybe not.
