Bucky was wrist-deep in dough when Stark wandered into the compound’s communal kitchen. Natasha was in a mood, and she’d hoped that making some pirozhki to have with dinner might help brighten her spirits.

She gave Stark a nod of acknowledgement as he passed by. That was about as much as they exchanged these days, apart from the occasional good morning or could you pass the potatoes, please?
