[Mumbled]

All of them.

Wow.

[ Fuck you, Tony Stark. ]

[In the diner they go; the waitress nods over to a corner booth]

And people dress up in costumes of...me.

[There's a really awkward pause]

I didn't think it would go on after the war.

You're Captain America.

[ Sliding into the booth. ] And as one of those guys you swooped in to save? I can honestly say that kind of thing won't just fade. People'll be telling stories of you forever.

[He looks a little sheepish]

I just did what anyone else would have done.

[Coffee is poured]

No, it's not. I know you, you go above and beyond because you're you.

You would have done the same for me, Bucky.

[Admit it.]

[ Staring into his coffee mug. ]

Yeah.

But you saved everyone.

Well, at that point, I was there.

[He says it lightheartedly, because it's a joke. Of course he saved everyone.]

You're a hero. People're wanna keep ahold of that.

That's why I need you around, Bucky.

[Well, for more reasons than just keeping him humble, but]

So I can tell you when you're bein' dumb?

I get the feeling it happens more often than I realize.

Yeah, you're pretty stupid sometimes, kid. But only when your big dumb heart gets in the way, so that's okay.

Like last night?

With Tony?

[ Frowning slightly. ] Uh. I guess?

[Frowns back?]

He's lonely.

[ He's not jealous. ]

Maybe he likes it that way?

[He's Captain America, not Professor X.]

He likes to pretend that, sure.

[ Good thing too, Prof X is a slag. ]

Okay. [ Pulling the coffee to him. ] You know what kid, I get it. You want to help everyone you meet. Ain't a bad quality.
