——- Bucky's POV ——
I couldn't go watch the plane, it hurt too much. I need to leave, but what the team doesn't know is I also can shift was well. I'll use that to my advantage to find Steve. I take a car up to the border. I get out an shift into my wolf form.
I run into the woods, thankfully that my metal arm shifts as well. I sniff the air, no Steve. I drink some water and run to what I see is a large plane. He howls and the jet leaves, I see him, he doesn't, crap he knows someone is here. I smell him, he smells me.
I approach the clearing and we're able to do telepathy with each other, "Bucky?" he asks me, "Steve, how are you?" "I'm a werewolf, Bucky." "I know, Steve, and there's no antidote for it." "How do you know?" "Because there is none. You might feel bad about it, but the longer you stay in wolf form the harder it will be to shift back into a human. It will be a slower, more painful process to recover your human form." he yips, "Steve, it'll be like coming out of the ice! You'll be so uncoordinated it won't be funny." "What do you mean, Buck?" "I spent a few years as wolf in hiding from Hydra." "Oh." "Yeah, so the longer you adjust to this form, the slower you be coming back to your human." "I just want an antidote, Buck!"
"Steve, I know, but we need to find a den and food." I hear his stomach rumble, "Hungry?" "Yeah." "Guess what, we got to hunt for deer, elk, or moose, caribou is good." he nods, "I don't want to go back but I do." "Steve, you got me." he nudges me.
Steve sniffs the air, "Moose!" I nod, we take it down and eat our good fortune. We thank the Lord for our food. We eventually make a den, we listen to the wolves around us sing and howl at the moon.
We're humans inside of large wolf bodies. Sure, we look like bears from the back. I need to teach Steve how to fight like a wolf, I've run into many packs where I've had to fight its members for ground.
I close my eyes next to Steve in our cuddle ball to keep warm. I fall asleep comfortably and content my best friend is not alone or suffering.
