It took three weeks before they found Bucky's trail.

It took another two to find him.

A week after that he was back at the tower, but he wouldn't visit our floor.

"He hasn't come out of the storage room," Lucky told me, laying in the box with me.

Steve exited the elevator, alone. I sighed and laid my head back down. "Hey Tack," Steve said as he approached my box.

"Oh, hey Lucky. So that's where you went..." Steve mused, rubbing our heads before sitting on the couch.
