‘’ Sorry, bit jumpy. ‘’ She smiled back at him and resumed her work, she was typing faster this time, and Bucky was starting to get weirded by the situation. ‘’ The freaking Avengers just destroyed a whole city, I’m live writing the article. ‘’

‘’ An entire city?’’

‘’ Where do you live? Under a rock? Tony Stark seemingly created a robot with a murderous instinct, and the whole world is, well, pissed off. Jack, Ultron almost destroys the world yesterday. ‘’ Bucky frowned at the quantity of information that Olivia had given him, without looking away from the computer and her phone.

‘’ And that’s what you’re doing. ‘’

‘’ Well, yes. My mother is being a bit of a pester right now, she things Romania is near Sokovia, but we are quite far. She still thinks my city went floating away and that I personally met Captain America while he was saving me. ‘’ Olivia had a bad habit of talking fast, and when she stopped talking, Bucky was frowning.

Captain America. Did she really had to mention Steve’s alter ego?

‘’ Sorry, I must be blabbering, you should watch the news, at least, or read my articles. I’m your friend for that, you know. ‘’ She laughed and he smiled, as if he got her joke, but he was still thinking of Steve, memories were blurry, and he was getting dizzy by the moment. ‘’ Oh, sod off, Henry. ‘’ Her phone started vibrating on her hand, and she got it to her ear. ‘’ Yes, I’m out for lunch. ‘’ A pause, there was a rumble on her phone. ‘’ I know that’s my job, but I can’t just disappear from the redaction now. Specially now. ‘’ Another pause. ‘’ Yes, you can count with me, but you owe me. ‘’ She took the phone off her ear and sighed, closing the computer and looking back at Bucky. ‘’ Sorry, Jack, I need to go now-‘’

‘’ Where?’’

‘’ Seemingly, Sokovia. ‘’ She smiled sadly at him, and she put her hand on his right arm. ‘’ But when I come back, let’s get something to eat somewhere else. ‘’

‘’ That’d be great. ‘’ He smiled while she got up and almost ran towards the main road, and he saw how she took a taxi, leaving the park.

Bucky knew it wouldn’t be long until Steve started looking for him again, but he decided to live his little lie some more time, with Olivia and the regular life he had been missing for quite some time.
