Ofcourse, I am totally not implying that She lives in his mind(and heart) 24/7 XD.

SO there’s the moment in Inifinity war that was gifed by @lupitanyongio, and I thought, Okoye’s reaction is very mother-like.

But then I thought about it a bit. It’s not a heart-broken mother reaction, it’s a soldier’s heart-broken moment.

I refuse to believe that the people in Wakanda didn’t know about HYDRA, at least as a concept. Within the MCU, HYDRA wasn’t really a secret, and the parts they played in WWII, was so integral to the course of history, there’s no way it was left out of any sort of history book. And it’s not like Wakanda is ignorant of what’s going on - they have War Dogs, spies posted internationally, they had to have had some inkling as to the stories of the Winter Soldier.

So enter Bucky Barnes with a programming inside his head, and he doesn’t feel safe - he’s not himself. He hides away in his little hut with his goats, because this is all he ever wanted in life, peace and quiet. 

One day, Okoye’s curiosity gets the better of her, and she visits Bucky.

At first, he doesn’t really want to speak to her, but his mama raised a gentlemen, so he’s not going to tell her to get lost. But the moment she see’s him, she knows. 

Okoye isn’t some wide-eyed warrior who’s just joined the Dora Milaje, she’s their General. She’s seen battle. She’s seen death. She’s seen more than enough of it in her 20, 30 years of serving the Dora. To stand before a man who has seen so much in his 100 years, battle, war, death, unspeakable crimes. To have had his will to act, his will to live stripped away. 

She sees all this, and her heart breaks, because she knows. 

So that look that she makes when Bucky asks “where’s the fight?” That’s of a soldier who knows her comrade has seen too much, and yet, is going back to do the right thing.
